Chapter 37: Chapter 37 So Much Better Than My Boyfriend

What is this person causing a fuss about now?

Mingming’s attitude wasn’t like this before, so why has it suddenly...?

An apology?

"Doctor Lu, is that a love-filled late-night snack from your boyfriend?"

"Nice, very nice."

"He’s so much better than my boyfriend. Why are the good ones always someone else’s?"

Lu Jing choked, what boyfriend?

It was an ex!

But then again, he just couldn’t bring himself to say it.

He pursed his lips:

"Um, there’s quite a lot here, let’s all have some," he said, changing the subject.

Luckily, the group of Little Nurses at the nursing station didn’t press on with questions.

After all, having food at such an hour was already more than satisfying for everyone.

"Hehehe, Doctor Lu, we won’t be polite then. We sneaked a peek just now, it’s from the W Hotel."

"I’ve heard the dishes at the W Hotel are really good, and really expensive."

"Of course! It’s a top-tier, five-star global hotel. We can’t afford many meals there with a month’s salary."

There must have been at least seven or eight takeaway boxes, carried in four large bags.

Upon opening them, everyone couldn’t help but swallow their saliva.

’Sweet and sour pork with pineapple, bamboo shoot and wild mushroom soup, abalone sauce chicken feet, Sichuan-style mouth-watering chicken, sesame fish, and at the bottom two boxes of green peppercorn beef tripe with cow tongue and black pepper spring onion ribs.’

Each dish was full of enticing color, aroma, and flavor, and the moment they opened the lids, the scent wafted out, almost causing people to drool.

Indeed, as a certain someone had texted, there was no seafood, and they didn’t look spicy.

Lu Jing felt a bitter sensation in his heart, spreading densely throughout his body.

There was nothing difficult to guess; clearly, someone must have learned something.

Indeed.

After Old Qin left, Jiang Ye went online to look up examples of the kind of damage an abortion can do to a woman’s body.

When he saw the hundreds of thousands of comments online, even someone as strong as Jiang Ye almost lost his composure.

A mix of heartache and regret nearly drowned him.

He never knew that an abortion could cause such severe damage to a woman’s body.

At the least, physical deficiency, and possibly never recovering for a lifetime, might even lead to lifelong infertility.

In more severe cases, severe bleeding.

One mistake, and it’s either the removal of the uterus or, worse, loss of life.

’Snap!’ The pen in his hand was forcefully broken in two, ink splattering all over the table in an instant.

Inside, there was an urge to rush to her immediately, hold her tight, and meld her into his own flesh and blood.

But at the same time, there was a touch of relief.

Relief that she was still okay, could still give him cold looks, and could still get angry with him.

He didn’t dare to think, if there had really been an accident on the operating table back then...

Suddenly, his heart tightened.

...

Lu Jing had no idea how much Jiang Ye was regretting things right then.

The office was bustling, and everyone was eating very, very happily.

"Wow, this is really delicious!"

"It’s worthy of being from the W Hotel."

"Burp!"

Someone even burped.

Lu Jing didn’t eat much; he really couldn’t stomach it and felt off.

He checked the time; it was already past two in the morning.

He didn’t need to go back to the dormitory. After a quick wash, everyone went to sleep in the duty room, ready to deal with any emergencies that might arise.

And indeed, it was a restless night.

Nurses were intermittently running to knock on the duty room’s door; everyone got up at least three times.

It wasn’t until the morning that things finally quieted down.

Lu Jing had a dream, in which a little boy called her "mommy."

Lu Jing wanted to respond but couldn’t open her mouth no matter how she tried.

The little boy cried, heartbreakingly sad and upset, finally saying angrily:

"I don’t want you to be my mom anymore!

After all, you don’t want me either!"

Lu Jing woke up frightened, sitting up suddenly, her whole body trembling.
