Chapter 734


    Red chilies were floating in the big white porcin soup bowl, letting out the tantalizing aroma. The


    proprietress recognized that Simon was a doctor and had brought two cold dishes in person for


    them.


    Sitting at the other side, Addy carefully scooped out the peppers with a spoon.


    When Emily inadvertently raised her head, she happened to find that Addy was looking at Simon


    with her eyes full of affection. Seeing that, Emily could not help but hold her cup tight.


    Simon fetched a piece of fish and put it on Emily''s te after picking all the fishbones out. Simon''s


    eyes nted to her, and he saidzily, "What are you doing? Eat!"


    "Okay!" Emily came to herself and put the fish into her mouth.


    The fish tasted tender and well-vored with spices, which gave her a good appetite. She couldn''t


    help eating two mouthfuls of rice.


    Addy, who was sitting on the opposite side, was also swallowing the food in her mouth. She said


    with a smile, "By the way, Simon, do you remember the librarian at Columbya


    University?"


    "Of course. He was very kind. Every weekend, he would help me upy a seat in the library,"


    Simon nodded.


    Addy continued with a smile, "He married a beautiful blonde woman as he wished. I received a


    phone call from himst night. He told me that they have a mixed-blood baby!" "That''s great news!"


    Simon said and nced at Emily.


    Emily understood what that nce meant-Simon also wanted to have a baby. Feeling parched, she


    picked up the cup of water and drank.


    Addy said something else that but Emily neglected it. Then, Simon''s phone rang from beside her.


    Simon interrupted, "Sorry, I have to answer this call!"


    The phone call was short. After it ended, Simon frowned.


    Seeing that Simon looked serious, Emily guessed that it might be a call from the hospital. When she


    was about to ask, Addy took a step ahead of her.


    "Simon. What''s wrong?"


    Hearing this, Simon put down his mobile phone and replied, "The hospital just transferred an


    emergency patient from the neighboring county. He needs heart surgery immediately. There is only


    one doctor on duty in the department at noon. I have to go back!"


    "You should go back immediately!" Addy said hurriedly, took a look at Emily, and said with a smile,


    "Being a doctor means great responsibility. Simon, you don''t have to worry about us. You can leave


    us here!"


    "Okay," Simon nodded. The hospital was in urgent need. He didn''t even have time to finish eating


    before he stood up from his chair. He nced at Addy and then looked at Emily, who lowered her


    head.


    Simon put his hand on Emily''s shoulder.


    She raised her head and saw him taking out the wallet from his trouser pocket. He put it in front of


    her and said with a smile, "Addy is our guest. We should pay for the meal. I will go back to the


    hospital now. Mrs. Chin,ter you pay!"


    Simon''s word was short, emphasizing that Emily was his wife.


    "Sure!" Emily felt a little rxed.


    Simon withdrew his hand and quickly walked out of the restaurant with his mobile phone. Through


    the window ss, Simon''s tall figure could be seen. He quickly walked through the zebra crossing


    in the sun and soon walked into the hospital building.


    When Emily stopped looking, she saw that Addy was still looking out of the window with her eyes


    fixed.

    After a long while, Addy seemed to realize that she had forgotten herself. She turned her head in a


    hurry and smiled at Emily awkwardly.


    Emily also forced a smile to respond, but it was a little bit awkward. After Simon left, there were only


    two of them at the table. She felt a little ufortable.


    She thought that after Simon left, Addy would soon leave with an excuse. In her opinion, Addy


    would not want to continue lunch with her without Simon.


    But Addy did not seem to want to leave, instead, she continued to eat calmly.


    Emily curled up her hand on her knee slightly. Since she sat down, Emily had little appetite and


    wanted to finish early, ncing at the watch on her wrist from time to time. When she finally saw


    that Addy was wiping her mouth with a tissue, she also quickly put down the chopsticks.


    Because Simon told her to pay the bill before he left, she wanted to call the waiter.


    Just when she was about to get up, Addy suddenly called, "Emily!"


    Hearing that, Emily looked over in confusion.


    Addy smiled at her and said sincerely, "To be honest, when I first met you when I returned, I was


    very jealous of you!"


    "..." Emily frowned, speechless.


    "But now that I know I made a mistake. I shouldn''t be jealous of you. Instead, I should thank you!"


    Addy added.


    Emily was stunned. Feeling puzzled, she asked, "Thank me?"


    Then, Addy nodded and suddenly stretched out her hand across the table and held her hand on the


    edge of the table. Addy''s hand was a little cold, which made Emily felt chill.


    For some reason, Emily began to feel uneasy.


    Addy smiled and looked at her sincerely. "Thank you for staying by Simon''s side during the four


    years when I was not here. I know your marriage is concerted!"


    Hearing that, Emily was shocked.


    "How did you..." Emily stammered in shock.


    There was only one possibility that Addy could know about their agreement...


    Emily clenched her hand. She asked with her voice trembled, "Did he tell you that?"


    Addy''s expression paused slightly. She had overheard it by identst time in the barbershop.


    After a little hesitation, she finally chose not to answer but asked in a soft voice, "Emily, it''s not


    important, is it?"


    Emily felt suffocated and feeble on the chair.


    "That''s right, that''s not important..."


    She looked at Addy with a poker face. Addy, whose beautiful almond eyes were full of tenderness


    and sweetness, replied, "Simon and I knew each other when we were fifteen years old in high


    school. At that time, he was not living with the Chin Family. Later, after graduation from high school,


    I went abroad to study with him, and we were always together!"


    "Four years ago, I chose to stay in Newley City, but Simon chose to go back here!"


    "I told him I would go back to him in four years. At first, I thought he was angry with me and med


    me. I thought he didn''t forgive me, but it turned out that he had been waiting for me all the time..."


    Addy suddenly let go of Emily''s hand and reached for Simon''s wallet at the side.
