Emily felt regretful for asking. At this moment, with a sound of tink, the lift opened. She bent to hold Isla in her arms, quickly changed the topic by saying, "Here we are. Let's jump into the queue in Simon's name!"
The reexamination went smoothly and quickly. In half an hour, they had finished and took the lift to leave.
Seeing that Emily was peeking at the cardiology department through the lift, Tina could not help but ask, "Emily, Simon should be back soon, right?"
"Yeah..." Emily nodded. She silently calculated in her heart, and shyly said, "He will be back next Tuesday. There are only two days left!"
"That's great! Simon is finally coming back. You don't have to be alone at night anymore!" Tina teased her.
After hearing this, Emily blushed and stomped her feet, "Tina, that's not good to say such things in front of Isla!"
When Isla, who was holding the doll, heard this, she immediately covered her ears with her little hands and blinked her big eyes, "I didn't hear anything!"
"You little brat!" Feeling embarrassed, Emily found it both funny and annoying.
After crossing the long glass bridge, they went out directly from the clinic building. As soon as they walked down the steps, they saw a white Prado suddenly stopped. Wilson, who was with glasses, got off from the driver's seat.
Usually, as a boss, Wilson would have a driver drive him around in a commercial vehicle. It was the first time that he was seen to drive by himself.
Looking at the tire prints on the ground, Emily thought to herself.
"The way Wilson drives is exactly like Simon's way!"
"Papa!"
Isla, who had been holding their hands, left the doll behind and immediately ran over to Wilson excitedly.
Wilson bent and held Isla in his arms with a trace of softness shown in his indifferent eyes behind the glasses. Then he looked at Tina with a slight frown and said in an unhappy tone, "Why didn't you call me?"
Tina looked at the father and daughter and said softly, "I thought you should be very busy. Besides, I just took her to do a recheck.
I can do it myself. I don't need to bother you!"
"What do you mean bother?" Wilson looked angry and said in a low voice, "Tina, I'm Islas father!"
Feeling tongue-tied, Tina could not refute but turn her pale face away.
Wilson opened the back door of the car. There was a safe child seat inside. Holding Isla in his arms, he reached out to pull Tina's wrist. "Get in the car. I promise to take Isla to the amusement park this week!"
"No need!" Tina refused right away and said with a determined voice, "Emily will accompany us. She can take care of Isla for me!"
Sitting in a safe seat, Isla looked at Tina from inside with her eyes widened and asked eagerly, "Mama, can you let Papa come with us?"
Hearing Islas childish voice, Tina felt speechless.
Wilson looked at the mother and daughter, frowning. He looked at Emily, who was standing there, and asked, "Emily?"
Emily felt embarrassed by Wilson's glance and cleared her throat, "Cough! Well, I suddenly remember that I have other things to do! Wilson, I will have to bother you to take good care of Tina and Isla!"
Simon shook his head slightly and raised his lips helplessly, "I came back earlier this morning. It's two days ahead. I wanted to surprise you, but I didn't expect you to be here!"
"Surprise, huh..."
Emily only felt surprised in a horrible way.
"I'll accompany Tina and Isla to the hospital for a recheck," After she said that in a flat tone, she looked at Addy next to him, with her hands clenching at her back.
"When I got off the plane, I received a phone call from the director. His mother had a myocardial infarction and was sent to the hospital. Not long ago, her life was saved in the emergency room. But her condition now was not optimistic. She needed an operation right away. The director wanted me to do it, so I came to the hospital directly before I could send my luggage home!" Simon seemed to understand what she was thinking. He came closer to her and explained, "Addy came to visit her friend. When I was going to change for the surgical gown just now, I ran into her. I only said a few words with her before you arrived! Don't be jealous, okay?"
Emily bit her lips lightly and looked down. Only then did she notice the white gown in his hand and feel his hurries.
Although she felt relieved, she somewhat still felt uncomfortable.
She felt suffocated and nowhere to hide when she saw Addy's pretty eyes. "This is the second time I saw them together. But is it truly only the second time?" She thought to herself.
"The patient is already sent to the operating room to be ready for the operation. I have to go there quickly! I will put my luggage at the nurses' station. You can help me bring it back and wait for me at home!" Simon looked at his watch and said with his tone a little anxious. He strode away, leaned over, and whispered in her ear, "Mrs. Chin, I can not wait to put you in bed!"
After hearing what Simon said, Emily shrank her shoulders and felt her heart beating faster.
She loosened her grip and slightly nodded to Addy. Then, she turned around and walked towards the lift on the other side, heading to the nurses' station to retrieve the luggage Simon had left behind.
Right after Emily took steps, Addy caught up with her and called, "Emily!"
