“Oh, so the baby’s father is Dr. Sullivan!”
The doctor who was examining me was very surprised, then his expression became more serious as he explained my condition to James in
detail.
After listening, James’s handsome face was tense.
“Okay, I know what to do.”
“It’s fortunate that Dr. Sullivan is your husband. With him around, the baby will surely be born healthy and safe.” The doctor smiled.
For me, I didn’t know whether to smile or worry.
Because I was going to leave soon.
Seeing that I had been silent since coming out of the consultation room, James thought I was too worried about the baby.
“If there’s anything you don’t understand, or if you feel unwell, call me anytime.”
I lowered my eyes and pursed my lips: “Thank you.”
“But I think I can take care of myself”
James stopped talking and just walked me to the hospital entrance.
After walking a distance, I couldn’t help but look back and saw James still standing there.
But I’m a bit nearsighted and couldn’t see his expression clearly.
I couldn’t help waving at him, silently saying in my heart: James, farewell, mountains high and roads long, who knows when we’ll meet again,
take care.
Then I turned and left.
Since my mom found out I was pregnant, she’s been video calling me every day, reminding me to eat meals on time and drink soup every day.
On this day, I was walking home when I received another video call from my mom,
I answered, holding a box with one hand: “Mom, I’ve already bought the high–speed rail ticket The day after tomorrow at 8 am, I should arrive
around 4 pm.”
“Look, I’ve packed up everything from my company, just one box.”
My mom frowned, looking a bit worried.
“Why didn’t you buy a plane ticket? You’ll have to eat a meal on the high–speed rail, and the boxed meals there are expensive and not tasty.”
“You can order takeout on high–speed rails now.”
“Alright, I won’t talk to you anymore. Don’t look at your phone while walking on the street, what if you bump Into someone? I’ll talk to you later.” My mom hung up before finishing her sentence.
I couldn’t help but laugh.
Just as I looked up, I almost bumped Into someone.
But this person was James, who had deliberately stood in front of me, his face not looking very good: “You resigned? You’re going back to your

hometown?”
This was obvious, and I had no need to hide it.
“Yes, there’s no point in staying here anyway.”
James’s face looked even worse.
But I ignored him and walked straight ahead.
Unexpectedly, James caught up and blocked my way, his expression extremely serious: “Lily Anderson, how did the baby’s father die?”
