They were slightly delayed before departing. By the time James's car was parked in the hospital's underground parking lot, their appointment time was nearly upon them.Rowan was someone who disliked arriving late. Observing her watch, with only a couple of small divisions separating the minute hand from pointing at 12, anxiety began to bubble within her. She was ready to quickly exit the car.However, it was James who gently held her hand and comforted her with a soft voice. "Two minutes late won't be a problem. The doctor won't take in other patients during your appointment slot. Relax, take your time getting out of the car."His words carried the soothing effect of a gentle spring breeze. Rowan took a deep breath and gradually found her composure.James sensed her growing relaxation, noticing her grip on his hand was less tense than before. He lightly patted the back of her hand and said, "Let's go, we can take our time going up."Rowan nodded in agreement.The elevator area on the u
After a brief moment of consideration, she opted to provide more context. "Just to be clear, the child isn't his."The doctor's movement of removing his plastic gloves seemed to halt, frozen in place like a martial arts master's paralyzing technique. After a pause, he managed a somewhat awkward "Oh."He went on to explain, his embarrassment palpable, "I observed how close you two are, and I assumed you were heading towards marriage... Clearly, I made a mistaken assumption. I apologize.""It's alright," Rowan reassured him. She didn't hold any offense, as her intention was to ensure that James wasn't inadvertently perceived as the father.For Rowan, the matter was settled.When James entered the room to hear the results, the doctor regarded him with a mixture of sympathy and warmth.An unusual combination of emotions, given the situation.Seeing James appear slightly uncomfortable, Rowan couldn't fathom what might have caused this misunderstanding.Rowan's health was determined to be
Before Rowan could respond, James interjected."I think you'd better direct that message to the lady next to you. Why did she suddenly change her schedule to come for a checkup here today, only to conveniently appear and intercept us?"Flora widened her eyes, looking at David's mother with a mix of feigned distress and innocence."Aunt... I clearly told you about this a while back, right? Someone recommended this hospital to me, saying the doctors here are more skilled. So, I thought I'd give it a try..."David's mother hastily reached out, patting the back of Flora's hand reassuringly. "Absolutely, I can vouch for that!"Turning her gaze to James, her eyes sharpened suddenly. "Don't try to manipulate the situation! I know very well what kind of person Rowan is. You might seem kind and talented, but don't let her deceive you with a few words. Don't let yourself be misled!""Mom!" David intervened, his voice calm yet firm. "There's no point in continuing this discussion. Let's go."Dav
The dull sound of the ceramic hitting the wooden tabletop reverberated through the room, creating a slightly tense atmosphere. Flora's once-smiling expression froze, her eyes widening in surprise.David's father's gaze was laser-focused on David's face, his eyes sharp and searching.With a composed demeanor, he inquired in a deep voice, "Rowan is pregnant?"David continued eating his meal with a detached demeanor, his response to his father's question minimal.David's mother, however, was quite vocal and didn't hide her desire to see David and Flora married soon. The Thompson family had been embroiled in disputes about this matter, with David's father consistently opposing the marriage for reasons known only to him. In contrast, David's mother was a staunch supporter of Flora and the marriage.Flora, adept at reading the room, quickly chimed in to appease David's mother. Her call of "Auntie" was filled with just the right amount of respect and enthusiasm.David's father, however, rema
This modest room had originally served as a reception area within a grand mansion. However, its purpose underwent a significant transformation when Father David's health took a turn for the worse, making it impractical for him to navigate the stairs to his study. With an eye for comfort and functionality, he carefully reconfigured the space, turning it into a cozy living room that also doubled as a semi-study.Father David found solace in this room, spending almost half of his day here. It was a sanctuary where he could immerse himself in books and find moments of respite from his daily routines.One day, as David entered the room, he clutched a cherished photograph that usually adorned his desk. He gazed at it with a mixture of nostalgia and longing, clearly lost in thought."Dad," David called out softly, breaking the silence.Father David turned towards his son and gently placed the photograph on a nearby surface. With his keen eyesight, David couldn't help but notice the image cap
It was almost 10 o'clock when we returned to the small apartment. David said nothing along the way and became even more taciturn and cold after arriving home.He casually pulled off his tie and said, "I'm going to pack my luggage for a business trip tomorrow." Then he left Flora alone in the living room.Flora was a little angry, but more than that, she was terrified.He and David's father closed the door and chatted alone for almost an hour and a half. The content of the conversation was unknown."No way... David's father said something good about Rowan and convinced him, right?" Flora wondered. When she thought of this possibility, her uneasiness was like a stain at the bottom of her heart, getting bigger and bigger the more she rubbed it.She walked to the bedroom door in panic and stood leaning against it.She watched David take out the clothes he wanted to wear from the closet without haste, fold them, and put them in the suitcase. Sometimes, he really doesn't look like a pamper
Invitation from Elders David's face turned an eerie shade of green, and he fell into a heavy silence, almost as if he were wrestling with his thoughts. Finally, in a voice tinged with uncertainty and emotion, he uttered, "Let's go." Richard, sensing the gravity of the situation, obediently restarted the car, executed a U-turn, and sped towards the airport, his heart racing with concern. As he raced to catch his flight, his boss insisted on a detour to his ex-wife's workplace, a painful reminder of a past he'd rather forget. Though he didn't dare to step out of the car, he sat there by the entrance, emotions swirling like a turbulent storm within him. The situation seemed utterly bewildering, and it stirred up memories. He was suddenly transported back to a time not so long ago when Rowan had still been part of that company. And then, there was that other time when David had asked Richard to veer off course and take them to the same company. The resemblance to this moment was uncan
******************Rowan had made repeated assurances that James had not accompanied her downstairs to meet David's father.However, as Rowan finally reached the first floor, it was unavoidably much later than she had anticipated.Stepping out of the elevator, she found herself in the middle of the hallway, casting her gaze around. It was only then that she spotted him, not too far from the amusement park.There he sat in his wheelchair, a small, thin blanket draped over his legs. He looked remarkably at ease and comfortable, as if he were right at home, engrossed in watching two children enthusiastically molding shapes with plasticine at the amusement park.A diligent housekeeper stood dutifully behind him, gently propelling the wheelchair forward.Rowan hurried over and spoke apologetically, "Uncle, I'm so sorry for keeping you waiting. Something unexpected came up, and it delayed me for a few minutes."She also extended a polite smile towards the secretary standing behind him.Davi
