A Mysterious Man novel Chapter 95

When Sunny has finished tidying up Macie’s things for her, she informs Kevin to send her to school.

Before she leaves, Sunny says warily, “When she finishes school in the evening I’ll go fetch her, I don’t want to trouble you.”

Kevin immediately rejects her offer and says, “I have nothing to do at night, and I can see that Macie is very fond of me, let me be a father for once.”

…This causes Sunny to remember that she has forgotten to tell him that her child is no more.

But it has already reached this point, so Sunny has no choice but to accept his offer, “Then… Sorry to trouble you.”

Macie is fidgeting with her backpack beside them while looking at the “handsome Mr.Quinn” on the left and then shifting her gaze towards her mother on the right.

Her tiny eyebrows are knitted tightly, as she ponders the possibility that her father discovers that she is his child. What will happen then?

Before she can come to a conclusion, the adults already reach an understanding, and Kevin proceeds to hold her hand and says, “Say goodbye to your mother, we are going to the school now.”

Macie waves at Sunny obediently, “Mum, see you at night~”

Sunny looks at her and then squats down to kiss her cheeks, “See you at night, my darling.”

Kevin opens his mouth, as though he wants to say something, but in the end he decides to stay silent as he holds Macie’s hands and leaves this place.

Sunny continues to stand at the door for some time, and only heaves a sigh of relief after watching them disappear into the lift.

She had a tugging feeling that something is wrong.

But she can’t waste any time thinking about this since she’s going to be late for work.

She hurriedly wears her white jacket in her office. Today she is going to be the resident doctor.

But to her surprise, her first patient today is a familiar one.

“Please come in.”

Sunny replies quickly after hearing a knocking sound on her door. She raises her head and sees that it is Zola who has come to visit.

It seems like they have not seen each other for a long time, therefore Sunny gawks at the slightly haggard Zola and raises her brows.

Zola is also surprised at the identity of the doctor as she asks, “It’s you?”

“I’m the doctor for today.”

Otherwise it will not be her intention to bump into Zola here like this.

Since it is already a long time since they last meet, they can’t find a topic of conversation. Based on their relationship, it is natural for them not to be so friendly towards each other.

In the end, Zola takes her seat and says, “I have thought that… something bad has happened to you, when I saw the missing passengers list last time.”

Sunny stops her moving hand which is holding a pen, and replies casually, “I almost couldn’t make it.”

“Is that it? You are fortunate enough.”

“I’m not that fortunate.” Sunny doesn’t want to continue this pointless topic, so she gets straight to the point, “Are you ill in any way?”

She mulls over the fact the she’s in the obstetrics and gynecology department and wonders what could be wrong with her.

“The past few days, I feel a throbbing pain in my belly, and I have gone to a check-up previously but they couldn’t find anything wrong with it…”

Sunny signals her to lie down and says, “Recently… are you on good terms with Gerry?”

Zola hears this name and gives a wry smile, “He perfectly demonstrates how to keep his family intact while having an affair outside marriage.”

Sunny has never seen Zola with this sad expression before, she can discern that Zola is not happy with her life.

“Have you ever thought of… leaving him?”

Zola replies, “I have thought of that too, but I can’t do it, every time he has promised me not to do it again, and I always end up forgiving him. And this loop goes on and on…”

Sunny throws a glance at Zola, “This is not like you.”

Zola replies, “I once thought that I will always get something good by snatching it away from you, maybe it gives me a strange sense of satisfaction after getting it. But I never thought that I am the one who is harming myself in the end.”

“Are you apologizing to me now?”

“No.”

…

“Don’t simply move, I’ll give you a check-up, woman always have to take care of themselves, your…” Sunny looks at the image of a womb on the X-ray screen and says, “Why is your womb so thin?”

Zola replies helplessly, “It was because I have miscarriages one too many times.”

At this moment, Sunny suddenly thinks of a serious question, “Do you… have a child now?”

When she brings this up, Zola’s eyes darkens, “I used to have one, but it was gone due to my carelessness.”

Sunny can sense that it is not so simple behind her carelessness, but when she thinks of what she and Kevin had done out of revenge last time when Zola was having her first child, she stops herself from questioning further.

“You should nourish your body well, you will have children in the future.” She tries to console her.

“Let’s see about that.”

Sunny is out of answers right now, so she mechanically carries on with her manoeuvres, “You are fine other than that, please take care of your body well.”

At one instance, Sunny almost blurts out an apology right there and then.

But in the end, her lips are quivering slightly but she says nothing.

After Zola is ready to leave, Sunny can’t help but remind her, “If you are able to, you should leave him as soon as possible.”
