Sarah immediately regretted her decision to invite Michael into her room when she saw that there were still a lot of nurses outside her room, and they were looking at her with curious eyes, wondering who the handsome man standing next to Sarah was.
She decided to take Michael out to eat in her room because she didn't want any more gossip to happen that she was eating in the cafeteria with a man who brought food from outside, but she had forgotten that there were some gossiping people in front of her room.
Well… come to think of it, eating in her room is better. She could give the nurses an excuse that it wasn't what they thought.
Michael's lips rounded as he entered Sarah's room, this was the first time he had come to his wife's room. It wasn't as big as his office room, but it looked comfortable and tidy.
Michael then put the bag on the table and looked closely at Sarah's room. There was a bookshelf containing many books, and there was a frame hanging on the wall, it was a certificate showing that Sarah was a general surgeon.
Suddenly, Michael immediately felt a hand wrapped around his stomach, and something heavy was leaning against his back.
"Wifey?" said Michael in surprise. Suddenly Sarah hugged him from behind.
"I'm charging my energy. Let me be like this for a moment," Sarah said and hugged Michael tightly, making Michael's lips immediately form a wide smile. His decision to come here didn't seem wrong!
Meanwhile, Sarah was disgusted with herself. She didn't think she would have to do something like this with Michael after she was sure that Michael was actually cheating on her.
She didn't want to keep her expression on her face to look happy when she hugged him, that's why she decided to hug Michael from behind, so he wouldn't see the expression on her face.
After a while, Michael finally let go of Sarah's hand from his stomach and turned to face Sarah.
"Now it's my turn!" he said happily then hugged Sarah tightly and didn't forget to kiss her head. Michael was really really happy right now.
"I know you still want to continue to hug me, but let's eat. I have an operation scheduled later so I can't stay with you for long," Sarah replied then immediately let go of the hug and started walking to take out the lunch box from the bag that was brought by Michael.
Sarah's face looked happy when she saw the food, from the aroma alone it smelled good. Even though she was in a bad mood with Michael's arrival, the food made her feel better. She couldn't wait to eat it!
Michael smiled again when he saw his wife moving her hands happily, his wife really likes to enjoy good food!
The two then immediately sat down and began to eat their food voraciously, especially Michael, who had been hungry for a long time.
While eating, the two talked as usual, Michael asked how Sarah's day was and what kind of surgery she was going to do. Sarah answered while asking Michael's activities.
Not long after, the two lunch boxes that Michael brought were finished, satisfied looks on the faces of the two people.
"Lunch like this is not bad," said Michael suddenly watching Sarah who was wiping her lips with a tissue.
Michael was pleased to be able to have lunch with his wife, and again, that was because Sarah had started it first. He felt that all this time he could not be the lead in their relationship, even though he was the head of the family.
Sarah was just silent when she heard it, then took the water that was on the table and drank it.
"Should we have lunch together from now on?" Michael asked suddenly.
Sarah immediately choked upon hearing the question, causing Michael to immediately stand up and pat Sarah on the back.
"Are you crazy?! You want to have lunch together from now on?" Sarah snapped, unable to keep her composure. Today she was feeling suffocated because she had to meet with Michael. Luckily the food was good, so Sarah could feel better.
However, Michael wants to do this every day?
"Oh, I'm sorry!" said Sarah, finally realizing that she had just yelled at Michael.
"I mean, we both work. I went to your office because I happen to have time, and you must be busy at work too, right?" Sarah continued to explain before Michael was hurt by her snapped
Michael returned to his seat, his face still a little hurt from Sarah's yell. Sarah didn't have to yell at him like that, did she?
"I mean… I really enjoyed it when we had lunch together," Michael said, pouting his lips. Was he the only one who felt that way?
"I feel the same way, babe! But you have to work, I don't want you to leave your job to have lunch with me," Sarah continued softly, trying to come up with an explanation.
"Why does Michael suddenly have to act like this?" Sarah thought irritably, not only did she have to meet the man in the morning and evening, now she also wanted to meet him during the day?
Let her breathe, okay?
However, Sarah suddenly understood why Michael was acting like that. In Michael's mind, they had only been married for three months, you could say they were still on their honeymoon phase, still wanting to always be together.
But that doesn't apply to her! Sarah wanted to scream as loud as she could to let out her frustation.
"But…"
Sarah sighed, she almost forgot that Michael was stubborn too.
"Okay, we can have lunch together, but not every day, okay? You have to make sure you don't have work, and contact me first before you came," said Sarah, finally choosing to give in.
A smile finally appeared on Michael's face when he heard that, even though he couldn't have lunch every day with his wife, but at least Sarah didn't stop the idea.
It seems, his relationship with his wife has become a little closer?
***
After Michael finally left, Sarah immediately went to find Steve. Steve's attitude earlier in the cafeteria bothered her so much, it made Sarah want to explain to him.
"Steve? He asked permission to go home, he doesn't seem to be feeling well," said one resident when Sarah came to visit the neurology department.
Sarah just nodded and said thank you then left immediately, her face looking worried. She hastily took out his cellphone which was in her coat pocket and looked for Steve's contact and then immediately called him.
"Come on, please pick up!" Sarah thought as the call connected as she continued to walk back to her room.
However, no matter how many times Sarah called him, Steve didn't pick up at all.
Sarah finally decided to send Steve a message.
[I know you are angry right now. Call me when you feel better. I will explain everything to you.]
