A Mysterious Man

Chapter 95 Tidying Up Things

When Sunny has finished tidying up Macie’s things for her, she informs Kevin to send her to school.

Before she leaves, Sunny says warily, “When she finishes school in the evening I’ll go fetch her, I don’t

want to trouble you.”

Kevin immediately rejects her offer and says, “I have nothing to do at night, and I can see that Macie is

very fond of me, let me be a father for once.”

…This causes Sunny to remember that she has forgotten to tell him that her child is no more.

But it has already reached this point, so Sunny has no choice but to accept his offer, “Then… Sorry to

trouble you.”

Macie is fidgeting with her backpack beside them while looking at the “handsome Mr.Quinn” on the left

and then shifting her gaze towards her mother on the right.

Her tiny eyebrows are knitted tightly, as she ponders the possibility that her father discovers that she is

his child. What will happen then?

Before she can come to a conclusion, the adults already reach an understanding, and Kevin proceeds

to hold her hand and says, “Say goodbye to your mother, we are going to the school now.”

Macie waves at Sunny obediently, “Mum, see you at night~”

Sunny looks at her and then squats down to kiss her cheeks, “See you at night, my darling.”

Kevin opens his mouth, as though he wants to say something, but in the end he decides to stay silent

as he holds Macie’s hands and leaves this place.

Sunny continues to stand at the door for some time, and only heaves a sigh of relief after watching

them disappear into the lift.

She had a tugging feeling that something is wrong.

But she can’t waste any time thinking about this since she’s going to be late for work.

She hurriedly wears her white jacket in her office. Today she is going to be the resident doctor.

But to her surprise, her first patient today is a familiar one.

“Please come in.”

Sunny replies quickly after hearing a knocking sound on her door. She raises her head and sees that it

is Zola who has come to visit.

It seems like they have not seen each other for a long time, therefore Sunny gawks at the slightly

haggard Zola and raises her brows.

Zola is also surprised at the identity of the doctor as she asks, “It’s you?”

“I’m the doctor for today.”

Otherwise it will not be her intention to bump into Zola here like this.

Since it is already a long time since they last meet, they can’t find a topic of conversation. Based on

their relationship, it is natural for them not to be so friendly towards each other.

In the end, Zola takes her seat and says, “I have thought that… something bad has happened to you,

when I saw the missing passengers list last time.”

Sunny stops her moving hand which is holding a pen, and replies casually, “I almost couldn’t make it.”

“Is that it? You are fortunate enough.”

“I’m not that fortunate.” Sunny doesn’t want to continue this pointless topic, so she gets straight to the

point, “Are you ill in any way?”

She mulls over the fact the she’s in the obstetrics and gynecology department and wonders what could

be wrong with her.

“The past few days, I feel a throbbing pain in my belly, and I have gone to a check-up previously but

they couldn’t find anything wrong with it…”

Sunny signals her to lie down and says, “Recently… are you on good terms with Gerry?”

Zola hears this name and gives a wry smile, “He perfectly demonstrates how to keep his family intact

while having an affair outside marriage.”

Sunny has never seen Zola with this sad expression before, she can discern that Zola is not happy with

her life.

“Have you ever thought of… leaving him?”

Zola replies, “I have thought of that too, but I can’t do it, every time he has promised me not to do it

again, and I always end up forgiving him. And this loop goes on and on…”

Sunny throws a glance at Zola, “This is not like you.”

Zola replies, “I once thought that I will always get something good by snatching it away from you,

maybe it gives me a strange sense of satisfaction after getting it. But I never thought that I am the one

who is harming myself in the end.”

“Are you apologizing to me now?”

“No.”

…

“Don’t simply move, I’ll give you a check-up, woman always have to take care of themselves, your…”

Sunny looks at the image of a womb on the X-ray screen and says, “Why is your womb so thin?”

Zola replies helplessly, “It was because I have miscarriages one too many times.”

At this moment, Sunny suddenly thinks of a serious question, “Do you… have a child now?”

When she brings this up, Zola’s eyes darkens, “I used to have one, but it was gone due to my

carelessness.”

Sunny can sense that it is not so simple behind her carelessness, but when she thinks of what she and

Kevin had done out of revenge last time when Zola was having her first child, she stops herself from

questioning further.

“You should nourish your body well, you will have children in the future.” She tries to console her.

“Let’s see about that.”

Sunny is out of answers right now, so she mechanically carries on with her manoeuvres, “You are fine

other than that, please take care of your body well.”

At one instance, Sunny almost blurts out an apology right there and then.

But in the end, her lips are quivering slightly but she says nothing.

After Zola is ready to leave, Sunny can’t help but remind her, “If you are able to, you should leave him

as soon as possible.”

Zola forces a smile and replies, “I will try my best.”

Sunny watches Zola’s silhouette as she leaves and is overwhelmed by the feeling that she is a

murderer.

For the subsequent patients who have come, she looks restless and unhappy, and she is lacking in

energy.

At noon, a doctor next door comes for a brief stint, and he is shocked at his new colleague’s dismal

expression.

“Are you okay?”

Sunny is almost falling asleep at this point, but she is jolted awake by his question.

“Ah, I’m fine…” She is blaming Kevin for waking her up when she hadn’t had enough sleep yet, in the

early hours in the morning.

“You don’t look that good…” That doctor peeks at this new doctor shyly, as he thinks that she is a little

cute.

Sunny sees that he is squinting at her with a strange look, and it prompts her to recall what he has

been talking about just now.

“Oh, this is how I normally am, don’t worry, I will be fine after getting some rest.”

Since she has already said this, that doctor can only say, “Then, I’ll not disturb your rest time, have a

good afternoon.”

Sunny nods and replies, “Thanks for your concern.”

Anyhow, sometimes a warm word of concern from a stranger can still warm her up from within.

When he shut the door, Sunny plops onto the desk, and feels that she is a bit unwell somehow.

After sinking into a vague nap and waking up from it, Sunny sensed that her forehead is slightly

scorching, and there is a warmth on her back too.

“Why am I feeling so hot… it is already October.”

Sunny stares at the hot sun outside the window and obediently turns on the air-conditioner.

After getting through an afternoon of clinical work, Sunny feels that she is on the verge of collapsing.

She thinks that she has to avoid this job at all cost in the future, as it is too tiring.

There is always a crowd, and noises are constantly bombarding her, like how it is now. Sunny feels that

she is going to explode.

After enduring until the end of her office hours, Sunny stands up groggily, and feels that her body

doesn’t belong to her right now. There are strange sounds all over her body whenever she tries to

move.

She might be a mummy right now… just as she is lost in her thoughts, she hears a knocking sound on

the office door.

Why is there still somebody here? Is there someone who is not able to see the doctor? NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

“Please come in.” Sunny has no choice but to return to her seat as she calls out in the direction of the

door.

The door opens, and in comes a little girl who keeps repeating the word “Mum”.

“Macie, why are you here, who brings you here…”

She immediately cranes up and sees Kevin who is standing beside her, “Why did you bring her here?”

It is not good for Macie to come to the hospital with her weak body, what if…

Kevin feigns ignorance and says, “Macie has been asking to see her mother at work, I can’t win over

her, so I have brought her here.”

Sunny looks at Macie with a blaming expression and says, “You bad girl, what is there to see about me

working?”

Macie shows her tongue and says, “Mum is a doctor, she is so great… when my friends ask me about

this, I feel so proud…”

“That’s enough, you have a sugar-coated mouth.” Sunny chuckles and is about to stand up, but she

suddenly feels a dizzy sensation overcoming her, and all she can see is pitch-black darkness.

Kevin immediately reacts as he hugs Sunny, “Are you okay?”

Sunny wants to insist that she’s fine, but her throat is burning right now as she discovers that she can’t

find her voice.

Kevin feels that he’s holding an oven right now, so he stretches out his hand to feel her forehead, and

to his affirmation her forehead is scorching hot right now.

“You didn’t know you have a fever?”

Kevin feels an inexplicable anger suddenly, “You are an adult, why can’t you take care of yourself?”

Sunny can sense a series of mumbling right by her ears, and she tries to force her eyes to stay open.

She says to the man in front of her. “Please tune down your voice… this is the hospital…”

She hasn’t finished her words, and the door is flung open, and the doctor next door rushes in through

the door.

“Dr. Ellen….are you… okay…” He stumbles upon the sight of Kevin holding Sunny, and he can see an

impatient look on his face.

“I’m fine… thank you…”

Sunny is feeling frustrated now, she can’t comprehend why is people forcing her to talk when she’s

feeling so awful right now.

Luckily, Kevin doesn’t give her any chance to speak anymore, as he carries Sunny into his arms and

asks the lost doctor standing at the door.

“Where is the medicine for fever?”

The doctor is cautious towards him as he points to the right side swiftly, “It’s on the first floor.”

Kevin doesn’t have time to think about the possibility between them, he looks back and instructs Macie,

“Follow Mr.Quinn, your mum is having a fever.”

Macie looks at Kevin who is carrying Sunny with a cunning look. Her mother and father are having

intimate moments right now, just like the boy who has hugged her before…

She stops her messy thoughts right away after realizing that she should not be thinking about this at

the moment, as she reorganizes her expression and fumbles to follow Kevin from behind.

“Doctor, she’s having high fever…”

Kevin carries Sunny into the office, there is still a patient inside there.
