The next day, the white off-roader was parked at the school gate.
Before Emily got off the car, Simon had already opened the car door and taken the little boy sitting behind him out the car as if the boy was damaging his car.
She wanted to scald him, but when she thought of the little boy's bed-wetting last night and how he was washing the sheets in anger, she held back.
Simon's amorous eyes moved from the campus to her face and said fiercely, "When I come to pick you up in the evening, I don't want to see him again!"
"Or other students of yours!" In the end, he added.
Emily held back her laughter. "Okay, okay!"
She turned around and wanted to follow the students to go inside, but he pulled her back and then kissed her.
Emily's face was red like blood. She glared at him, in bashfulness and little anger.
Simon raised his eyebrows and curled his lips in an evil way. "Goodbye kiss!"
Emily glared at him again and ignored him. She stamped her feet and quickly ran away.
At three o'clock in the afternoon when the sun was still in its greatest time.
The taxi stopped at the gate of a hospital. Emily took the change and opened the door to get out.
Looking at the outpatient building in front of her, the corner of her mouth curved into a sly smile. Today, school organized students to go tree planting. Except for their head teacher, other teachers could all get off work earlier than usual.
She wanted to go home, but when she thought of the way Simon carried the wet sheets with his fingers and the expression on his face, she decided to come to comfort him and give him a surprise.
Emily came to the hospital to see him once, but at that time it was in the evening. She just squatted at the door to wait for him.
She had never been inside before, so he was not familiar with the hospital and did not know where he was.
According to the sign, she took the elevator to the floor of cardiosurgery department. When she came out of the elevator, she met a nurse and asked, "Excuse me, could you please tell me where Dr.
Chin's office is?"
After hearing her words, the nurse was shocked. 'Are you looking for Dr. Chin for medical consultation?"
Emily knew that she had misunderstood, but she also frowned. She didn't understand why she had such a big reaction. Just as she was about to explain, the nurse leaned over and lowered her voice, "Girl, let me give you an advice. There are many doctors here. If you want to see a doctor, you'd better not look for Dr. Chin!"
After that, she shook her head and went away in a rush.
Emily was confused.
That nurse was unreliable. Emily continued to go inside and wanted to ask nurses in the nurses station.
Several nurses were gathered in the station. It seemed that they were not at work but talking gossip. When Emily was about to cough lightly to attract attention, she heard the name "Dr. Chin".
"Do you know that Dr. Chin has AIDS?"
"Who doesn't know that now? We have known the news since the morning. Now the whole hospital knows, not only our department, but also the other departments!" "Hey, you really can't tell. Dr. Chin is actually an AIDS patient. I still fancy him!" "Quit that. Are you mad? Don't you even know what AIDS is? It's so dangerous. Aren't you afraid of being infected? I'm still scared now that I think about it. I probably don't have much contact with him, right? I heard that he was infected after he came back here, so he should be alright when we worked together in the past!"
When he came back, he had reported his illness to the director. In the end, it was agreed that he gave up clinical work and focus on teaching. But unfortunately, someone went to appeal for his
dismission. Under pressure, the director could only talk to him. The director apologized and told Simon that Simon had to be suspended. After apologizing for the troubles he made, Simon went back to the office to pack up his things.
After hearing his words, Emily felt her heart got tighter.
A doctor in a white coat walked over to them. Simon called to him and took out a pen from the carton. "Doctor Wang. You borrowed it to me. I haven't returned it to you yet."
The man he called Doctor Wang immediately shook his head like a rattle drum and waved his hands. "No need. You can keep it. I don't want it anymore!"
After that, he quickly walked away as if he was afraid of being touched by him.
Emily clenched her fists even tighter. So tight that her knuckles were turning white.
She glanced around and found that almost all of them were looking at her and Simon from a distance, including the nurses standing in the nurses' station. They all looked at each other, and all kept their distance from her and Simon.
This was a hospital, and they were all medical staff.
They have more medical knowledge than ordinary people, and were also more professional. Thus, they knew the routine of transmission better. But even so, they still showed disdain and detestation. Perhaps this was the tragedy of humanity.
Emily gritted her teeth and reached out to hold Simon's big hand in front of them. She held Simon's fingers, their fingers crossing each others, and kissed him on tiptoe.
She didn't look at anyone. She raised her head and said in a strong voice, "Simon, let's go home!"
