Chapter 657


    Simon kept that position and didn''t move for a long time.


    It was quite a long time before he finally opened his beautiful eyes and withdrew his arms. Although


    he felt numb over his whole body, he was in no hurry to go back. Instead, he leaned forward slightly,


    picked up the cigarette case next to him, and stuck one between his lips.


    Lighter cked as blue leaping mes stirred clearly in the night.


    When the tobo smell spread out, Simon spoke in a low voice. "Emily, I never lose but I didn''t


    bring him back."


    "Simon..." Emily said, her heart aching.


    The smoke rose from his fingertips and formed a white line which drifted and then dispersed.


    He was born charming with his lips curved up, but he looked ice-like and distant now. His beautiful


    eyes were still attractive, but behind them was a whole universe of pain.He was so lonely that he


    was like the falling meteor in the dead night.


    She knew that he must be upset now...


    Simon''s eyes narrowed and fell on an unknown point. After a long silence, he said again, "After I


    graduated from high school, I continued with my study in medical faculty of Columbia University and


    received a doctorate of philosophy. I have been a doctor for so many years and have performed


    countless heart surgery. I saved people, many people. That old man was the first one who died on


    the operating table, but I can do nothing."


    "How can we be rid of impermanence?" Simon paused, then looked down at his hands. "Maybe for


    many people, doctors have witnessed too many deaths so they feel natural when facing lives


    passing by, but the difference is that when ordinary people see a dying person, he sympathize with


    him while we try to save his life."


    Seeing his slender hand, even though she had never seen the scene that he operated on others


    before, she could imagine that he was standing attentively in front of the operating table in green


    surgical gown.


    Even in the bright moonlight at this time, she couldn''t clearly see the lines on his palms.

    Emily bit her lip lightly and suddenly felt distressed. No one would be indifferent to dying people, the


    difference was that most people could only watch as a bystander, but as a doctor, he had to save.


    The responsibility he bore left him no other choice, let alone escape!


    People always worshiped and admired doctors, but very few of them knew the hardship and


    pressure on doctors.


    She felt her tear ducts burning, so she gently held his stiff arm and said, "You have done a great


    job!"


    "Is that so?" Simon turned around to look at her with his pupils dting slightly as if he was eager for


    her answer.


    "Yes!" Emily nodded heavily and clenched him harder as if she wanted to transmit as much power


    as she had to him. "Simon, you''re a doctor. Your duty is to save lives and heal injuries. No matter


    what the result was, you tried your best to save him. You really did a good job! Don''t me yourself


    for something predestined."


    The light, gleamed in her clear eyes, was brighter than the moon hanging high in the night sky.


    Simon gazed at her and took a long pull on his cigarette at which long cone of ash hang. He raised


    his eyebrows andughed in a low voice, "You are a good reporter. Thank you for praising me."


    "I''m telling the truth!" Emily shyly emphasized.


    "Sure." Simon stubbed out the cigarette in his hand. When he flipped the butt, he looked quite


    relieved and replied in a low voice, "Thank you."


    She picked up the surgical cap and mask next to her. They had been sitting here for more than an


    hour. When he saw her shivering in her coat, he got up and pulled her up. "It''ste. You aren''t well


    yet. I don''t want you to have fever again. Let''s go. I''ll take you back to the ward!"


    Emily obediently followed him to the hospital building. After sitting for such a long time, she did feel


    cold.


    She didn''t expect toe out so she only put on a thin coat over her hospital gown. When she


    heard the nurse''s words, she didn''t think much and ran out. If he didn''t mention it, she could endure


    much longer. But now she couldn''t help sniffing, and felt cold all over her body.


    Suddenly, she was held by a big hand.


    He entwined his fingers with hers. Simon''s fingers were even colder since he stayed outside longer


    than her. However, with his hands tightly wrapped around hers, she was warm with delight though


    the temperature of their hands did not rise.


    After entering the hospital building, he did not loosen his grip. On the contrary, he held her tightly, as


    if he was not afraid of being seen, for he walked forward without hesitation.


    Emily tried to struggle, but not only did she fail to break away, his grip tightened.


    Seeing that they were about to enter the hall, she shook him and said in a low voice. "Hey..."


    Simon didn''t intend to stop. "What are you going to say?"


    Emily bit her lips, and her voice was as soft as velvet."... We will be seen by others!"


    "Why can''t you be seen?" Simon gave an oblique look to her side and asked.


    "..." Emily was at a loss for words and had to give up.


    She remembered that she heard nurses talking about her in the elevator before, so she lowered her


    head shyly like an ostrich which tried to stick her head in the sand all the way being held by him.


    Fortunately, it was already at night, very few people passed by and the elevator only halted twice.


    When they finally returned to the ward, Emily raised her head as if she just came back to life.


    Why did she behave like a youngdy dating with her first crush...


    Simon took off her coat and poured her a ss of hot water. After she finished drinking, her frozen


    red nose turned to normal, he gave her a hint with his chin. "What are you still standing there for?


    Go to bed and sleep!"


    "Oh!" Emily nodded.


    She scuffed past with her slippers and climbed into the bed. Seeing that he didn''t pull the chair to sit


    down but put down the ss and was about to leave, she couldn''t help asking, "Simon, are you


    leaving?"


    "Mm." Simon''s Adam''s apple moved. He lowered his head and looked at his wristwatch that he had


    dug out from his pocket. "I have an operation tomorrow morning. I''ll go back to my dorm. Good


    night!" Emily nodded as she did just now and then she burrowed into her heap of covers andy


    down.


    Simon happened to stand under the light, and his shadow covered her. The air was thick with


    smoke clung to his clothes and his own smell. He had calmed down at this time, but from his eyes,


    she could still find traces of loneliness.


    In fact, Emily felt somewhat guilty. If it weren''t for the ident that she was drowned, he wouldn''t


    have rushed back to Ice city. If he had stayed in Bayworth City, he wouldn''t have performed the


    rescue surgery...


    When she thought of him going back alone...


    As he turned around, Emily grabbed his sleeve to stop him. Her eyshes trembled as she bit her


    lips and said, "Simon, stay with me tonight..."
