She might have been entirely bewitched by his eyes that showed open admiration. At that moment, her mind had gone blank, and she stopped struggling.
Emily, feeling his deep breathing on her face, felt the feebleness of her legs and her breathing became quick and uneven.
His delicate lips were about to be press against hers.
"Buzz, buzz, buzz—"
Unexpectedly, someone called Simon in this romantic moment.
As long as he moved forward a little further, Simon could kiss her, which he yearned day and night. However, his phone kept ringing. His Adam's apple rolled up and down. Finally, he decided to take his phone out and hang it up.
But when he saw that the call was from the hospital, he hesitated.
If it were anyone else’s call, Simon could put his cell phone in silent and ignore it, but it was a call from the hospital and might determine the life and death of the patients under his charge. Therefore, he could only stop all his movements and let her go to pick it up.
"Hello," Simon answered the phone with a low and deep voice. Only at this time did Emily aware of what had happened.
She was wondering how she ended up in his arms.
As soon as Emily realized that she was expecting his kiss, she immediately felt extremely embarrassed. Emily felt too panicked and shy to face Simon. She quickly broke free from him, turned around, and ran out of the kitchen soon-she went straight to the bedroom.
Simon did not go after her because the nurse from the other end of the line said anxiously, "Dr. Chin, come to the hospital quickly. The blood pressure and heart rate of the patient in the ICU declined too fast. It's very urgent!"
Simon, who had seen Emily run away from his arms, said in a hoarse voice, "I see. I'll go now!"
Hanging up the phone, he walked out of the kitchen.
His beautiful eyes with some lingering passion narrowed a little as he saw the closed bedroom door. Finally, he took out the car keys and strode to the entrance.
It was not until the sound of the door closing came that Emily, who had her back against the door, slowly fell to the ground and covered her fast-beating heart.
Her best friend Wendy did not come back all night. Emily was sleepless because she always had a hunch that if she fell asleep at night, Simon would open the anti-theft door and walked in to kiss her...
On Friday evening, Emily and Selena came to a fashionable barbecue restaurant near the TV station after work.
After graduation, Selena began her three months of internship and finally became an official employee. To celebrate it, she invited Emily to dinner. Since her boyfriend had to deal with some unfinished work in the company, there were only two of them.
When they sat down to order, Emily could not help taking out her cell phone twice to see if anyone called her. She was looking forward to Simon's call!
They were having an indoor barbecue. The waiter served many plates of pickled beef and streaky pork. One beef stick after another, Emily and Selena put the beef on the grill pan with a sizzle. Also, there were some clean lettuce leaves and perilla leaves next to them. They put the meat sticks and some sauce on the leaves and roll the leaves up to eat.
Emily liked barbecue, but perhaps because of the poor ventilation of this restaurant, she felt like vomiting and was quite uncomfortable when she smelled the odor of cooking oil.
Seeing her like this, Selena immediately asked with concern, "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine!" Emily said, shaking her head. She picked up the warm water beside her and took two sips. All of a sudden, she felt much better. But when she looked at the streaky pork on the plate again, she suddenly felt queasy. She could not help but stand up. "I'm going to the bathroom!"

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 😩...
