Chapter 6 — Farewell Nam Thanh

I looked at him, suddenly realizing that I didn't recognize this person anymore. He went to the prenatal check-up with someone else, signed for someone else, and let someone else carry his child. Now comes the question of whether I want to go or not, whether I already know someone else. I picked up the medicine bag on the table and threw it in front of him.

“Today I had acute gastroenteritis and went to the emergency room at your hospital.”

“You stay outside the curtain and check with her.”

"Tham Viet Trinh, I didn't even notice you lying there."

His face immediately turned white.

“I don't know.”

“Of course I don't know.”

My voice is calm.

“I only know that Giao Giao has severe morning sickness.”

Tham Viet Trinh's phone rang at this moment. The caller was Lam Nhuoc Giao. He looked but didn't listen. After the call hung up, there was a second call very quickly. I looked at him.

“Listen.”

Tham Viet Trinh held the phone.

“Ninh Ninh, let's talk about ours first.”

“Is she not related to you?”

He struggled for a long time, but finally answered the phone. Lam Nhuoc Giao's voice came from the receiver, carrying the sound of crying.

“Brother, my stomach hurts a bit.”

Tam Viet Trinh's body clearly tensed up.

“Is it painful?”

"I don't know, the baby moved a lot just now, I'm a bit scared."

He unconsciously glanced at me. There was hesitation and impatience in those eyes. I make the decision for you.

“Go away.”

Tham Viet Trinh hung up the phone.

"I'll go check it out first, come back and explain to you."

I ask you:

“Come back?”

His movements stopped.

“Ninh Ninh, Lam Nhuoc Giao is pregnant.”

“So I have to give in to her?”

“I didn't mean that.”

His voice was hurried.

"I'm just afraid something will happen to her."

I nodded.

“Then go away.”

Tham Viet Trinh did not move. Perhaps he also knows that if he steps out now, he will no longer be qualified to say those dignified words. But when the phone rang for the third time, he still turned around. When he turned around to walk towards the elevator, Chu Nhien was standing a few steps away. She crossed her arms and looked at him.

“Doctor Tham, is the emergency surgery over?”

Tham Viet Trinh's face was very unsightly. Chu Nhien moved aside half a step.

“Go away, pregnant women are more important.”

He turned his head to look at me.

“Ninh Ninh, wait for me.”

I did not answer. Returning to the hotel, Chu Nhien was so angry that he put the glass of water down on the table.

“Does this person have a problem with his mind?”

I bowed my head and packed my things in my bag. She walked over, her voice softening.

“Don't clean up anymore, get a good night's sleep first tonight.”

I put my paperwork, medications, calculator, and printed confirmation email in the same folder.

“Can't sleep.”

Chu Nhien sat down on the edge of the bed.

“Then cry for a while.”

I shook my head.

“Don't want to cry.”

Actually, I'm also heartbroken. It just hurts so much, I don't know where to start. I remember the first time Tham Viet Trinh came to Bac Thanh to visit me. At that time, I waited for him outside the experimental base. The wind was very strong, as soon as he got out of the car he hugged me, saying that Nam Thanh and Bac Thanh were too far apart, he missed me so much that he was going crazy. At that time I believed it was true. After that, he came less and less. He said the hospital was getting busier and busier, the training test The resident doctor pressed him until he couldn't breathe. I'm afraid you'll have a hard time, I've never asked you to come more. One time, he even promised to come visit me, but before leaving, he said that someone related to him in the department had made a mistake and needed him to stay and handle it. That weekend, I waited in front of the base gate until dark, and finally sent the scarf I had prepared for him to Nam Thanh. Now that scarf hangs around Lam Nhuoc Giao's neck. I arrange each item of clothing in the closet. Chu Nhien looked at me and finally couldn't help but open her mouth.
