Chapter 879


    When Simon finished almost half a pack of cigarettes in session, Charlie stepped forward and


    stopped him from smoking.


    He opened the window to get out of the cigarette smoke and then walked out of the smoking area.


    He walked toward Emily''s ward with slow, heavy steps as if his feet were filled with lead.


    Finally, he arrived at the door of the ward. When his big hand touched the door handle, he saw that


    Emily''s eyshes began to tremble. After a while, she slowly opened her eyes with effort.


    She was awake...


    Simon''s Adam''s apple moved slightly, and he slowly pushed open the door of the ward.


    "Wendy, my baby, is it gone?"


    The moment he stepped in, he heard her asking in a hoarse voice.


    The thought of their dead baby made Simon''s heart sore, and his chest rose and fell violently a few


    times as he breathed deeply to calm himself down. Though he controlled his emotions now, he


    could not hide the sadness in his peach blossom eyes.


    Emily whispered with a gentle voice as if she was afraid of startling something.


    In particr, she attentively gazed into Wendy''s eyes with hope as if she were staring at thest ray


    of light left in the sky before sunset. It seemed that the light of hope would disappear in the blink of


    an eye...


    When Wendy nodded, Emily''s eyes suddenly dimmed.Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org.


    Emily raised her hand with a needle inserted into it and touched her belly, which was t. How could


    she feel anything? Her baby had left her belly forever.


    However, she still moved her hands back and forth on her belly for some time. This was the dead


    end of herst hope. Then, she closed her eyes and said desperately, "Well, never mind. Let the


    past be the past."


    Simon strode forward, bent down, and held her hands carefully. His amorous eyes were no longer


    lethargic. Instead, there was some restrained pain and bitterness in his eyes. "Emily, we''re still


    young, and we can have more children in the future..."


    It was not that he did not know how tofort others, but he seemed to have lost the power of


    speech when facing Emily.


    Simon had witnessed many deaths as a doctor, but he had never been so panicked and depressed.


    Hearing his words, Emily opened her eyes again and smiled gently. She also held his hand and


    pressed it on her lower abdomen. "Simon, you know, I actually had the idea of secretly giving birth


    to the baby at the beginning, but you found out the truthter! I still remember how furious you were


    at that time. You warned me not to take your baby away!"


    "I didn''t expect that our baby would leave me like this... It is gone. None of us wants this result, but


    don''t be too sad. Perhaps, you and I are not supposed to share a future with it! However, I am d


    that I didn''t remarry you. It saves me a lot of trouble!"


    "Stop it!" Simon roared depressingly.


    Her reaction was different from what he had expected. He thought that after she woke up and


    learned that the baby was gone, she would break down.


    However, she appeared to be calmer than him! She did not cry, nor did she show any strong


    emotions as if she was not the person who lost her baby and just came out of the operating room.


    Her calmness scared him...


    Simon slowly clenched his drooping hands, his heart sinking.


    He knew that losing a baby was quite painful, so his heart wrenched as he spotted the deathly


    stillness in her eyes.


    "Okay, I stop. It happens that I don''t have much strength. Saying these words has already


    exhausted me." After this, Emily took two deep breaths, though her expression was still cial.


    Then, she closed her eyes again and gently turned her back on him.


    "Simon Chin..."


    Suddenly, Emily called out softly.


    Wendy, who was next to them, clenched her hands nervously. Meanwhile, Simon also clenched his


    fists, his knuckles cracking.


    Except when they divorced, she had never called his full name. At this time, Simon, his heart


    pounding fast, felt prey to panic.


    Sure enough, Emily then said in a weak and indifferent voice, "From now on, let''s go separate


    ways."


    She was saying goodbye to him...


    This was her farewell to their past.


    How could she call his name in such a gentle voice and say such cruel words to him once again?


    Simon, who was sitting huddled like a cornered animal, froze all of a sudden. Each piece of muscle


    became stiff. His clothes that had been soaked through by the river water had already dried up.


    However, at this time, Emily''s words brought him out in a cold sweat. The back of his clothes was


    damp with sweat and stuck to his back, making him feel cold.


    In the middle of the night, few nurses were walking in the corridor. It was very quiet in the hospital.


    The director of obstetrics and gynecology asked Emily to stay for a few more days in the hospital.


    On the day of the ident, after Wendy and Mr. Hogg left, Tina and Anthea also came to visit her.


    All of them advised her to be optimistic and forget about this tragedy.


    Slowly, Emily opened her eyes in the darkness-she had just woken up from a horrible nightmare.


    Her palms and back were sweaty.


    She dreamed of the scene when she fell into the river. She struggled desperately, but her effort was


    useless. She sank deeper and deeper. Then, she found herself curling up in the co- pilot seat,


    repeatedly begging Simon to save their baby in a feeble voice. After that, whiteness surrounded


    her-it turned out that she was lying on a hospital bed.


    Emily could not help putting her hands under the quilt on her lower abdomen again.


    Her baby was no longer there, but she confirmed this cruel fact again and again.


    In addition to her bed, there was a single folded bed by the window in the ward. Simon was lying on


    it to keep herpany. Emily had been lying on her side all the time. When she confirmed that he


    was sleeping, she sat up carefully.


    She did not want to disturb him.


    Or, she did not want to bother him...


    However, as soon as Emily moved, the tall and straight figure jumped off the folding bed.


    He had not slept at all; otherwise, he could not have acted so fast.


    In the blink of an eye, Simon ran to Emily''s bed and helped her sit up. "Do you want to drink some


    water?" "Hmm..." Emily did not deny it.


    Hearing that, Simon quickly turned on the emergency light next to the bed. Then he went to the


    cab, poured out a cup of hot water from the thermos bottle, and added some cold water to the


    cup. Before handing it to her, he poured out a few drops on his palm to test the temperature.


    When he got closer, Emily saw that his dark eye circles and several days'' beard.


    Over the past few days, he spent most of the night here with her. After he finished performing


    surgery, he would immediately rush to her ward.


    On the chair aside was his white coat. In the past, while working, he maintained a handsome and


    charming appearance in his white coat. His colleagues rarely saw Simon, who was tall and straight,


    in such a mess.


    Emily was silent for a moment. Then, she stretched out her hand and took the cup. "Thank you!"


    Simon''s big hand stiffened.


    She only drank a small half of the water in the cup. Then, Simon took it and put it down for her.


    Seeing his bleary red eyes fromck of sleep and grey face with exhaustion, Emily knew that he


    must also have had a hard timetely.


    After all...


    A small life was tragically taken from them.
