Chen Shouwang watched Qi Taiguo leave, his gaze deeply inscrutable, showing no hint of emotion, only his lips, tightly pressed into a thin line.
Qi Taiguo felt an indescribable disappointment towards Chen Shouwang, thinking he used to be quite concerned about Hualing, how did he change so suddenly?
Oh well, it’s a matter between the couple, closed doors will keep outsiders out, and he has advised as much as he could. Everyone should be responsible for their own life, whatever choice Chen Shouwang makes, it’s up to him.
Just as he was about to head home, a sentry ran over and saluted: "Report to the company commander, there is a call for you."
A call, who could it be at this time? Could it be Susu?
Qi Taiguo felt a surge of joy in his heart and quickly ran to the office to answer the call; he really did miss her a bit.
...
"Sister Hualing, are you on night shift again today?" At Qing City Hospital, a young nurse asked Hualing, who was also in a nurse’s uniform.
"Yes, you all can finish for the day!" Hualing smiled.
"You’ve done quite a few night shifts this month. Is your husband okay with it?" The young nurse teased.
Hualing’s smile faded, and her face immediately darkened.
The young nurse was only joking, but seeing her expression, her heart skipped a beat, and her smile froze.
Someone tugged at her: "Come on, didn’t you say you would go shopping for a dress with me after work?" It was another young nurse.
"Ah, oh!"
The nurse pulled her away quickly, saying, "Are you dumb? Don’t you know she’s been fighting with her husband lately? Otherwise, why would she be on night shifts?"
"Ah..."
Upon hearing this, Hualing’s face grew even darker, and she heavily placed the tray containing medicine, cotton balls, and needles on the table, glaring angrily.
She and Chen Shouwang had never completely reconciled, and their relationship had plummeted to an all-time low. To cool off and avoid unpleasant encounters, she had signed up for multiple night shifts this month, not wanting the awkward face-to-face cold war.
Who knew her colleagues would talk about her like this, who spread such rumors?
Hualing was indignant and also felt terribly wronged; a home that she had to avoid herself, what was the point of it?
"Miss, nurse, it’s time to remove the needle for bed eighteen, please come over!" Someone called loudly in the corridor.
Hualing took a breath and said, "Coming."
After handling various matters for the patients and making rounds, Hualing removed her mask and walked to the garden, sitting down and pondering blankly about this marriage.
How did she and Chen Shouwang reach such a point today?
Hualing stared dazedly at a flower in front of her, what should she do, should she truly divorce him?
At her age, if they divorced, could she find someone better? It was said that Doctor Chen in the hospital divorced and found a man who was a widower with a child, no better than before.
Hualing sighed, and when she inadvertently looked up, she suddenly made a sound of surprise and stood up.
Isn’t that Qi Taiguo? What’s he doing here, huh, who is the woman standing opposite him?
Seeing Qi Taiguo’s serious expression as he patted the woman’s shoulder, Hualing widened her eyes in astonishment, as if discovering a new world.
Who is she? Could it be that Qi Taiguo has someone else in mind?
Hualing took a couple of steps, intent on walking around to see the woman’s face, when suddenly a sharp sound of a car’s emergency brake echoed from the entrance. She looked over and saw someone jump out from the backseat, shouting for a nurse, while carrying a woman covered in blood from inside.
Saving lives was urgent, so Hualing had no choice but to run over. But when she turned back to look, Qi Taiguo was already gone.
