"Why? Can't I see my wife?" Michael asked back with a mischievous smile on his face.
He originally only wanted to look at Sarah with no other intent, the woman happened to be standing in the direction of his gaze.
However, seeing Sarah looking embarrassed like that made Michael subconsciously want to tease her.
"Pervert!" Sarah replied then immediately took her clothes and walked into the bathroom.
Even though this wasn't the first time Michael had seen her body, they were divorced, and it felt weird for her to be naked in front of Michael.
Michael laughed softly at his wife's behavior which he thought was very adorable, they were married and this was not the first time his wife was shirtless in front of him, he had even seen more than that. So why should Sarah look embarrassed?
A few minutes later, Sarah came back into the room in a more casual outfit.
"Let's go to sleep," Michael said with a yawn, then patted his side, signaling Sarah to lie down immediately.
Sarah's expression looked doubtful. Can she sleep with Michael? With that bastard?
"Wifey?" called Michael when he saw Sarah just standing there.
"I can do it!" Sarah thought encouragingly herself then walked over to the bed and immediately lay down on it.
"What's wrong? Is something bothering you?" asked Michael suddenly after a while.
No matter how Michael thought about it, his wife looked very strange today.
From Sarah forgetting their apartment password to asking why he picked her up.
Today his wife is very different from usual!
"It's nothing, let's just sleep," Sarah said then turned her back to Michael.
Michael sighed when he saw this. Is he too sensitive? Looks like his wife is really tired from working all day.
Michael then leaned closer to Sarah, and hugged her from behind.
"Michael! I'm tired!" Sarah said without looking back and let go of Michael's hand that was hugging her stomach.
Michael was a little taken aback, he wanted to open his mouth to refute, but he decided to not do it and returned to his previous position.
Looks like his wife is really tired today.
Meanwhile, Sarah felt disgusted having to sleep with Michael like this again. Her body tensed up, and her mind wanted to get out of here. She couldn't sleep.
Sarah took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.
Tomorrow she has to go to work and she needs to sleep.
"Yeah, let's go to sleep, let's just pretend that bastard never existed," Sarah thought and closed her eyes.
***
Sarah woke up suddenly, her hands immediately searching for her cellphone which she placed on the table beside the bed to see what time it was.
Sarah's eyes opened wide as she looked at the clock. It was 6:15.
She's late!
In a hurry, Sarah immediately got up and went to the bathroom to wash her face and then immediately changed her clothes.
She didn't have time to take a shower and decided to take it in the hospital.
"Are you awake? Let's have breakfast first. I've made breakfast," Michael said as soon as he saw Sarah.
Sarah looked at Michael who was putting his food on the dining table, then glanced at the watch she was using. 6:23.
She has no time!
"I'm late! Looks like I unknowingly turned off my alarm," Sarah said then immediately ran forward to put on her shoes.
"Your shift starts early? I set your alarm off, I thought..."
"What did you do? @#$_!" cursed Sarah in annoyance.
Sarah had expected something strange, no matter how tired she was, she would definitely wake up at the sound of the alarm, but this time she had absolutely no recollection of turning it off.
Michael was silent when he heard his wife cursing him, this was the first time Sarah had cursed him and it surprised him quite a bit.
"I'll take you," Michael said, then immediately took off the apron he was wearing and ran to get his car keys.
Sarah didn't refuse, she was already late and it would be even more late if she had to find a taxi. So it seems that being escorted by Michael was the right decision.
***
Michael occasionally glanced at Sarah whose facial expression looked very annoyed at the traffic jam in front of her then glanced at her watch.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know your shift started in the morning," Michael said guiltily.
Sarah came home in the middle of the night yesterday, so Michael thought Sarah shift started at 9 or 10.
So when Sarah's alarm rang at 5 in the morning, Michael immediately turned it off because he wanted his wife to get some more rest.
Sarah didn't answer, she kept looking uneasy at the car in front of her that didn't seem to be moving, then looked back at her watch.
Sarah sighed. She would definitely be late.
"Michael!" called Sarah after calming down a bit.
"Yes?" Michael asked, glancing at Sarah and then at the street in front of him.
"After this you should meet papa, ask about your job," Sarah reminded.
She agrees to pretend to be Michael's wife to help Mr Collins who is worried about his company. So Sarah didn't want Mr Collins to think she wasn't going to do her job.
After all, Michael seems to have become a billionaire, the responsibility must be huge.
"Ah yes," Michael replied curtly.
***
Sarah being late made her friends look at her in confusion, because this was the first time Sarah had come late.
Luckily, Sarah had no morning surgery scheduled today, and her friends knew that Sarah had only come home around two this morning. So they seem to understand Sarah's lateness.
After checking the patient's condition, Sarah walked to her room. It seemed that there were not many patients this morning because Sarah could see the nurses gathering and gossiping.
Sarah decided to approach them.
"Hey, what are you guys talking about?" asked Sarah curiously.
She wonders what these nurses are talking about?
"Ah, Doctor Sarah!" said one of the nurses who was surprised to see Sarah.
"What are you guys talking about? Looks like a lot of fun," said Sarah kindly.
The four nurses looked at each other, as if deciding whether or not to tell Sarah.
"It's nothing, we were just talking about a patient. Does Doctor Sarah remember him? The traffic accident patient who came at that time! The handsome one!" said one of the nurses.
Sarah's face immediately changed when she heard that. She knew right away that they were talking about Michael.
"Which one? We have a lot of traffic accident patients," said Sarah, pretending not to know.
"The one that was operated on by doctor Sarah, the handsome one!"
"Ahh… him." Sarah couldn't pretend she didn't know him anymore. "What's with the patient?" she continued curiously.
"We managed to find out his name! Don't be surprised, Doctor Sarah! That patient is Michael Collins!" said one of the nurses excitedly.
Sarah fell silent when she heard that, as she expected, Michael was the one the nurses were referring to.
But wait.
Why does she sound excited when she talks about Michael?
