After a check- up in the hospital, the nurse apologised to them.
"Although this gentleman seems to be doing better than last time, I still don't think it's a good idea to operate on him now. It's too risky! You'd better go back and rest for a while longer!"
Thea was anxious and said, "Can you do it now? My child can't wait any longer!"
"I'm sorry, madam. We really want to help. Doctor Leon put in a good word with us from the start. We'll definitely try our best to help! It's just that there's nothing we can do now!"
Thea was on the verge of a breakdown. On one hand, her child was never in a promising condition. On the other hand, Martin hasn't recovered completely. She wasn't sure what to do.
Harley reached out and embraced Thea. He said, "Let's head back for now!"
Thea looked at Harley and brought it up for the third time again.
"Harley, let's get a divorce! I really can't stand it! I can't wait anymore. Cutie Pie can't wait any longer!"
Harley had never been this calm, a stark contrast from the previous few times she brought this up.
In fact, he was mentally prepared when the nurse said that they could not operate now. He was just waiting for Thea to bring it up.
He knew her well enough that she would definitely not give up on her child!
Harley shook his head and cuddled Thea again.
"Let's head back for now. Well talk about it when we get back!"
The three of them went back to the hotel again. When they arrived at the room, only then did Harley speak.
"I'm not getting a divorce, Thea. My stance remains the same. I won't divorce you!" Harley announced. After that, he glanced at Martin, who was next to them, got up and continued.
"I just got a call. My colleague in the Rosaville City branch said that the Floral City branch is handing over a case to them. Since I'm here, I'll go and take care of it! I'll be back later..."
Then, he turned around and was about to leave.
He was subtle in his words, but everyone present understood.
In the end, Harley chose to respect what Thea wanted. However, he was still unwilling to get a
divorce.
Looking at Harley's back, Thea was in emotional turmoil.
"Harley..."
"It's okay!" Harley whispered. He didn't look back because he had to maintain his composure. In fact, his eyes were already red-rimmed.
His fingers had tightened into a fist, and the pain gradually calmed him down.
"It's just a small matter. There won't be any danger. Don't worry!"
After that, he quickened his pace as if he was fleeing. He closed the door behind him as he was walking out hurriedly.
He didn't dare to stop as if he was afraid of hearing anything else. As soon as he went out, he dashed forward.
It wasn't until he reached the end of the corridor that he finally stopped and sat on the floor, dejected.
His mind went blank. He told himself not to overthink things, but at the same time, he couldn't help but wonder what was going on in the room right now.
At the thought of that problem, Harley couldn't help but clench his fists again. There was blood dripping onto the ground from the palm of his hand.
However, he could not feel any pain.
The clock on the wall was slowly ticking. Five minutes passed, followed by ten, fifteen, then twenty minutes...
However, Harley felt as if a year had passed him. Every second was torturous for him.
Just then, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang. Harley didn't want to answer it. He stood up morosely and allowed himself to look at the scenery in the distance.
Then, he took deep breaths desperately.
However, the phone was ringing the entire time.
He was annoyed, so he picked it up, frustrated.
