Jessica had more to say, but she did not retort out of respect for her brother.The moment she left, only John and Becky were left in front of the hospital bed.At first, they were very silent toward each other. Becky did not say anything, and John did not ask anything else. They merely stayed together with their daughter.Only when Molly, whose face was blushing from the fever, cried out to her father again, did John act and grasp his little daughter’s hand tightly. Subsequently, his eyes gradually became colder. “Do you really think I’m that stupid? Or do you think that I can’t see through your dirty little tricks?”“Are you talking to me? What are you even saying?”Even now, Becky was pretending to be stupid and unaware. This behavior of hers was truly disappointing for John.As the Winters’ eldest daughter, whether or not Grandpa acknowledged her, she could be as willful as before as long as he did. However, Molly was the only line she should have never crossed.Hence, since
Due to her lack of confidence, Natalie’s heart wavered unconsciously upon hearing Becky’s words.Nonetheless, even though she was shaken by them, she remained calm and unrestrained on the surface. Consequently, her current demeanor stirred up the resentment Becky felt in her heart.Thus, Becky exaggerated further, “You’re the only one I can beg. Please let him go, okay?”Let him go?Natalie was irritated by those words. Hence, she raised her brows and said coldly, “What do you mean I have to let him go? He’s the one that’s forcing me.”Upon hearing this, Becky immediately retorted, “Precisely! He has always been awful and forceful toward you. You can’t possibly like him, right? So, wouldn’t leaving him be the right thing to do?”Natalie turned her head away as if Becky had hit a nerve. Nevertheless, she refused to admit it, “I don’t need to talk to you about this kind of thing.”“But, it’s not fair for yourself if you keep escaping like this. After all, the one he loves is me! H
Was it the end?It would be impossible for her to escape this time, right?Natalie thought to herself, disheartened. She even shut her eyes in acceptance. However, her current actions were akin to a stab at John’s heart.He was always someone who stayed calm and collected. Even if the sky were to fall, or even if the most horrifying, frantic thing were to happen to him, he would remain unbudged.However, the moment he saw Natalie’s impending danger, and the way she had disdainfully accepted her fate, the collected demeanor he had been wearing all this time instantly collapsed…The surge of blood he felt in his head overwhelmed all of his rational thoughts, and he instinctively let go of his daughter on his back. Instead, he simultaneously leaped in front akin to a lioness protecting its cub…Only a mere second away, when the sharp blade in Becky’s hand was almost about to slice through Natalie’s skin, Becky’s right hand which was swiping backward was halted.She could not pull b
Becky committed suicide in such an extreme way.Although she was in the hospital, her wound was too deep, and the blood had back flowed into her trachea, so she was almost out of breath when she was sent to the emergency room.At that time, John, who was covered in blood, held his daughter who was crying hysterically in his arms. His originally cold eyes were full of defeat.He sat quietly outside the emergency room with his daughter in his arms. He did not speak or change his clothes.Until the doctor in charge of the first aid came out of the emergency room with a pitying look and shook his head, John's expression changed slightly, but Molly in his arms suddenly let out a wailing scream...It took Becky three hours to commit suicide in front of John and Natalie and then die in the emergency room.Knowing that her mother could no longer hug her, Molly cried bitterly. As for John, since he saw Becky commit suicide with his own eyes, he had not said a word for three hours.Whethe
His daughter's condition could be said to be very bad.Her illness was not cured beforehand, and then she was stimulated by such an incident, so the fever that had been gone began to appear repeatedly.John was worried, so he wanted to keep her in the hospital to be observed for a while.But maybe it was because she had a psychological shadow on places like hospitals. As long as she woke up and smelled the unique smell of medicine in the hospital, she would cry and call her father as if she was stimulated...John's heart ached for the child so much that he finally took his daughter home and asked the family doctor to pay attention to her at all times.After staying by the bed for half the night, John finally saw that his daughter's fever had subsided a little, and the child was sleeping soundly. Then, he went to the balcony to smoke.He was extremely self-disciplined in his life. He would smoke, but he had never been addicted to it.But that night, he was actually smoking them o
Looking at her sad face, Zoey understood that it was not easy to get through such a big obstacle.She patted her back comfortingly and said, "Natalie, it's only because of our relationship that I told you frankly. Please! Don't take all the blame on yourself.""But, after all, a person died!"Speaking of this, Natalie's eyes turned red in front of her good friend, she had been holding back for a long time. "I feel very guilty, really... I don't want to hurt anyone, but..."How could Zoey not understand her self-blame? But she still tried her best to comfort her. "Don't think too much, okay? No one wants this kind of thing to happen, but since it has happened, we should face it normally...""But..."Shaking her head, Natalie covered her face in pain and said in a choked voice, "The child is screaming as soon as she sees my face. I... am really...""What child?"As soon as she asked, Zoey came to her senses. "Do you mean John's daughter?""Yes!"Natalie nodded, still unable to
In her heart, she thought about it several times, but in the end, she couldn't be brave enough to say it.After a while, John said gently, "Well, it's time for me to take care of Molly. You are going to see your brother, right?""Yes!""Then... goodbye!"Goodbye?This seemed to be the first time she had heard him say this word, but why did it sound like a separation between life and death?Did she think too much?The uneasiness grew stronger, and the lingering melancholy accompanied her all day. When the nurse in the department met her in the bathroom, she suddenly exclaimed, "Doctor Natalie, you're here! Director Quinton is looking for you!""Looking for me? What?""It seems to be your younger brother, he..."As soon as she heard it was something about Howard, Natalie couldn't even wait to listen to what the nurse said. She immediately rushed over with a pale face.The nurse spoke in such a hurry that Natalie thought that her brother was in a bad situation. Unexpectedly, wh
She had said many things after she became a doctor, but today when she heard those words from others, she felt very different.Natalie was not a fragile person, but recently she could not control her emotions. So when she thanked him, her tone changed slightly.The old doctor heard her emotions and smiled at her comfortingly. "You're welcome. You are also my patient. This is what I should do."After that, the old expert pushed the eye on the bridge of his nose again and then began to concentrate on writing the medical record for her. While writing, he also told a lot of things intermittently...Natalie listened carefully, and so did Arthur. The old expert looked at them and suddenly said with a smile, "Director Quinton really cares about his subordinates. Those who don't know will think that it was his child!"The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional...Arthur's face changed slightly, but he didn't say anything. On the contrary, Natalie heard some sadness f
