The patient's blood pressure turned stable. Simon told the nurse some dos and don'ts, took off the aseptic garment and left the intensive care unit.
His leather shoes squeaked when he sped up.
Apart from the emergency room, most of the hospital was quiet at this time. The lights lengthened his shadow. Simon could feel his eagerness, especially the heat that did not fade away from his blood.
Perhaps he might be frivolous in other occasion, but as long as he put on this doctor's coat in the hospital, he never joked, let alone making out with girls. But this time, he could not control himself.
When he finally returned to the office, he pushed the door open.
As the night wind blew,Light struck on his face, but no one else was there.
"Emily?"
The answer to his question was, of course, silence.
Simon frowned and took two steps back to look at the corridor, only to see two nurses walking by with basins in their hands. He closed the door and checked the room, but he didn't find her bag, instead, he saw the note on his desk, telling him that she wouldn't come back.
"Simon, I suddenly feel a little uncomfortable. I have to go!"
Seeing the words on it, Simon took out his mobile phone from his pocket.
The taxi shuttled through the neon-lit night, and Emily, who was sitting in the back seat, hesitated to pick it up. "...Hello?"
"What ails you?" On the line, Simon asked in a low voice.
The question made Emily feel very guilty. She subconsciously bit her lip and muttered, "It's not a big deal. I'll be better tomorrow after I go home and get some sleep!"
"Didn't I tell you to wait for me in my office?" Simon sounded a little unhappy, but she noticed a trace of concern in his voice. "What's wrong with you? I'm in the hospital. I'm a doctor! Where are you now?"
Emily's fists were clenched tight on her knees.
She knew that he card for her, but the words rose before her. Addy's grace handwriting on his book: Love you, miss you...
"I'm almost home!" Looking at the red signal light in front of her, Emily lied, "My cell phone is running out of battery. I gotta go!"
Hanging up the phone, in order to act as if it was real, she also turned off the phone.
Looking out of the window into the dim light, she smiled bitterly.
"What am I fussing about?"
She put the phone back into her bag and took a deep breath. When she was about to close her eyes and leaned against the seat to take a nap, the taxi screeched to a halt with grinding brakes and she was catapulted to the front.
"Squeak..."
With a loud noise, the taxi seemed to bump into something.
Emily opened her eyes in a hurry and saw the driver holding the handbrake in a flurry and shouting in a low voice, "Jesus Christ! I hit someone!"
Hearing that, she immediately opened the door. Indeed, a person was lying in front of the the car.
However, the taxi driver should be responsible for that. When the driver was normally driving, the man climbed over the barrier to run across the road. Fortunately, they drove at a normal speed, and the driver braked in time, so he was not sent flying. However, he was seriously injured with a small pool of blood on the ground.

Hate deception and Abby and Dylan take the cake ,ugh...
NO!!! Tina belongs with Wilson…. Let Dylan and Abby get together...
Wow, once again the villain messes up the true love, Abby needs to go back abroad. And Tina’s true identity as the daughter of Bill Ambrey needs to be exposed! Then the families can “convenience marry” !! Abby is a witch....
Too bad Wilson can’t figure out that his and Tina’s ex’s and his cousin Desmond are conniving creeps!...
Anthea is so stupid, lying and leaving the man who loves her more than life itself. 🤬...
She deserves to be unhappy, being with someone she doesn’t love because of resentment for the exact thing she is doing, hopefully she ends up with no one. Calvin is a wimp and doesn’t love her, just wants a wife to please his family....
So the same basic story as Simon and Addy but stupid Emily is going to marry him! What a hypocrite! Ugh...
Emily gets more stupid every chapter, when did she pickup Calvin as a fiancé!!?? This story line is awful….very sad to do to Simon what she “thought” he had done but didn’t. She is truly a dumb woman. Simon never loved or really even cared for Addy….what the hell is she doing with someone she doesn’t even know or like/love. Awful 😢...
Emily is a fool, don’t let go of the man who truly loves you. Let go of the past, of which he did nothing but help someone who saved his life, and be happy with him… he is your soulmate....
Nothing like cutting off your nose to spite your face Emily. Just stupid! Ugh 😩...
