Zayne gaped. "My goodness, that brain of Angel's really is something different. Why didn't I think of that in the first place?”
Shirley smiled and teased him, saying, "If you were able to think of a perfect plan like that, then you would already have a grown-up child with Josephine."
Zayne looked at Shirley. "You... You don't feel bad about this at all?"
Shirley shook her head. "I can't be happier."
Zayne’s face suddenly became ashen. "Sigh, why do I feel like a failure?"
He glanced at Shirley, still feeling somewhat adamant. "So I'm not attractive anymore? You don't feel the slightest bit reluctant to leave me?"
Shirley replied, "If you're not attractive, then how could you have charmed Josephine? Zayne, I like you too. It's just that my feelings for you would never be as strong as Josephine’s. I don't want to get in the way of your happiness as well as Josephine's. That will only make me feel guilty."
Zayne’s tears welled up in his eyes. He held Shirley's hands tightly in his. "Thank you, Shirley. Being able to know you have been the best thing that ever
happened to me."
Shirley was like a warm-hearted sister as she patted Zayne’s head. "Go, go get Josephine back.”
Zayne said authoritatively, "We're not divorced yet. An amazing man like me wouldn't do something like having two women at once."
Shirley could not help but laugh. "You and your mouth. Aren't you afraid of Josephine running away with someone else?"
Zayne said directly, "Who wants an all-chest-but-no-brain woman like her?!"
After blabbering about, Zayne became serious once more. "Shirley, when you're done with your surgery, I'll bring you back to your family, alright?"
Shirley smiled brightly. "Mm."
Zayne went out of Shirley's ward and into Angelina's.
