Emily shook her head and the hands on her back were clentched slightly. Then she said, "No... nothing!"
Simon's eyes narrowed slightly. Being one head taller than her, he looked up and down at her. Then he pinched her chin in an instant, forcing her face to be lifted up so that he could look at her carefully.
Emily pushed away his slender hand, turned her face away, and said deliberately, "I'm hungry. I've been tortured by you all night. Aren't you going to give me food?"
Hearing this, Simon smiled evilly. "Of course I'll feed you!"
Then, he put on a pair of long pants and went to the kitchen.
As the range hood buzzed, Emily returned to the bedroom. His wallet had been put on the bedside table. She went to the end of the bed and sat down. Her hands and feet were inexplicably cold so she put her hands together, but it seemed to be of no help.
She lowered her head and was absentminded. The sunlight from the window was shining brightly but it could not warm her heart.
Emily suddenly stood up and walked quickly to the bedside table. She opened the bottom drawer and opened the iron box that she hadn't touched for a long time. The white small medicine bottle was still lying there quietly. She poured out two pills and swallowed them directly into her throat.
"Mrs. Chin, it's time for dinner!"
Simon's deep voice came from the dining room.
When she heard the sarcastic call, she felt so sad.
There was already rice porridge and fried vegetables on the dining table. She went to the refrigerator and took out a can of iced coffee. The cold feeling extended from her throat to her stomach, making her teeth tremble and her mind clear a lot.
After she sat down and took a few sips of the porridge, Simon put down his chopsticks and extended his hand towards her from the opposite side.
He pinched her chin and looked left and right at her face. It seemed that he wanted to find something out. Emily unnaturally opened her mouth and said, "What are you doing? Don't mess with me. I'm eating!"
However, Simon still pinched her chin tightly.
His eyes narrowed and said with no doubt but a certainty, "Emily, you have something on your mind!"
She always ate voraciously regardless of the image of being a lady. But now she took the spoon to eat the porridge slowly.
Emily was seen through, so she had to find a reason to explain away. "Nothing. It's just that I'm a little dizzy after over-indulging in sex!"
Sure enough, when Simon heard this reason, he took his hand back, and his eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles.
After taking two bites of the crisp cucumbers, Emily hesitated for two seconds and then casually said, "Simon, I think your wallet looks nice, but it seems a little old. You haven't changed it for many years?"
"Hmm, it's been over ten years!" Simon muttered.
"Oh..." Emily nodded. Holding the spoon in her hand tightly, she asked tentatively, "Then why don't you change it?"
Simon was drinking porridge with his head down, so she did not see the look in his eyes clearly. She only heard him faintly saying, "I'm used to it."
Upon hearing this, Emily was upset and felt that the rice porridge in her mouth was very bitter.
She swallowed hard, and suddenly felt a burst of discomfort in her stomach. The spoon in her hand fell into the bowl.
Suddenly, someone tugged at his sleeve. He turned around and looked down, only to see a little girl with pigtails standing behind him. She asked sweetly, "Uncle, can you hold me to pay the money later?"
"Where is your parents?" Simon frowned and thought that she was lost. Such things often happened in the hospital.
The little girl shook her head sweetly and pointed to the window not far away. "Daddy is there. Mommy was just diagnosed to be pregnant. The doctor said that mommy was not in good health and she needed much care, so daddy should stay there to take care of my mommy! Uncle, can you hold me later?"
"Sure!" Simon smiled.
The little girl grinned more sweetly and chatted with him like an adult. "Uncle, mommy vomited so much in the morning. She couldn't eat anything. Daddy and I are worried about her! When mommy was sent to the hospital, the doctor said that she was pregnant. Haha, I'm going to have a little brother!"
"Then I should congratulate you!" Simon's lips curled up.
Then, he thought of something and his Adam's apple rolled.
In fact, as a doctor, the first thought that came to his mind was that Emily was pregnant. He remembered her menstrual period very clearly. Within one-week period, he could control his sexual desire. Now it seemed that it had been a month since her last menstrual period.
Last time when she took emergency contraceptives, he scolded her.
Later, he pretended to forget to wear condoms many times but Emily didn't refuse, so he didn't wear condoms anymore after that. There was such a faint expectation in his heart to have a baby like the common couple who got married...
Would there be a baby?
Simon took the bill and he could not control his pace when he walked up the elevator. He pushed open the door of the emergency room and said in a low voice with a hint of nervousness, "Dr. Lewis, what's wrong with my wife?"
