Sarah came out of the elevator with a tired look on her face. As usual, she felt tired every time she came home and wanted to get home as soon as possible to soak in the tub and rest.
Today, Steve came back to her and acted as usual. He threw bad jokes and they had lunch together.
However, Sarah did not get to enjoy her time with Steve at all. At this moment, her mind was still troubled by her feelings that she still loves Michael, and the fact that her time with him was getting closer and closer to the end because Mr Collins would be home soon.
In her opinion, even though it was a little unfair to Steve, she had to work through her current feelings before really focusing on the man she befriended since college.
When Sarah's feet were completely outside the hospital, Sarah finally realized that she hadn't heard the sound of someone greeting her. She then checked her surroundings, looking for the man who had always been standing there waiting for her arrival.
"Where is he?" Sarah thought as she couldn't find her ex-husband at all.
For more than a month, the man was always waiting for her in front of the hospital. Even when she had a night duty or emergency calls, the man was still waiting for him even though his head was always lowered to suppress his sleepiness.
However, this evening Michael did not come to pick her up.
Seeing this man's absence tonight made Sarah feel a little lost.
"Did something happen?" Sarah thought worriedly. She then immediately took out her cellphone to call Michael.
However, just as she was about to call Michael, she decided against it and put her phone back in her bag.
In the future, Michael won't be waiting for her in front of the hospital like this anymore. She'd better get used to it.
Sarah's lips subconsciously formed a sad smile as the thought crossed her mind. She then sighed and walked towards Michael's apartment.
The cold night air immediately touched Sarah's skin, causing Sarah to immediately hug her and rub her arms to warm herself.
Usually, on a cold night like this, she would hug Michael's arm and rest her head on his shoulder. If it was too cold, Michael would hug her by the waist and pull her into his arms.
Ahh… it seems that she is getting used to Michael's presence without realizing it. Did she really have to end this as soon as Mr Collins got home from the hospital? Can't she just stay with him?
Sarah sighed. She had absolutely no idea what to do. She didn't have time to think about this. Looks like she really has to go to her small apartment to think about what she should do in the future.
Not long after, Sarah had arrived at Michael's apartment.
"Babe? You're here?" Sarah couldn't hide her surprised expression when she saw Michael sitting on the living room sofa with a blank stare.
Michael was a little surprised when he heard the voice of a woman who now approached him and sat beside him.
"Oh… Hi.' Michael cursed himself when he heard what he just said. Why does he sound so awkward?
"Did something happen? I thought you were still in the office so you didn't come to pick me up," Sarah said looking at Michael worriedly.
She thought Michael might be busy so he couldn't pick her up, but seeing the man at home with a thoughtful look on his face made Sarah sense that something was off.
It was Michael's expression she had seen before, when he might be in trouble, but Michael had never told her what had happened.
Michael was silent at Sarah's question. After returning to his apartment, Michael kept thinking about what he should do when he met the woman.
Should he directly confront her and ask why she lied to him? What was her purpose of asking everyone not to tell him that they were divorced?
As Michael was thinking about how he should ask that, he suddenly started to hesitate. What if the woman didn't tell him and twisted a fact like she did in the past?
At that time, she accused him of having an affair even though the woman who was unhappy married him then had an affair with the brown haired doctor!
When Michael's head was filled with questions, suddenly time seemed to have passed and the woman had come home.
"No, I'm fine," Michael replied, shaking his head and smiling.
This didn't seem like the right time to question the woman.
Sarah was silent when she heard Michael's answer, it turned out like the past, this Michael also still doesn't want to tell her what happened.
It made her a little sad, but Sarah didn't want to force Michael to tell her.
"Is that so? Then I'll go take a bath first, "said Sarah then immediately stood up and walked to the second floor.
After making sure Sarah couldn't see him anymore, Michael leaned back on the sofa and sighed. He didn't expect that he would feel so awkward to see that woman again.
"What should I do now?" Michael thought, going back to thinking about it while Sarah was taking a bath.
His right index finger tapped on the sofa next to him, trying to make his brain think hard.
"Ah! Right! Why don't I try pretending I still have amnesia and find out what that woman really wants?" thought Michael who sat up straight when the thought crossed his mind.
Even though he had already told the others that he remembers everything, he could have asked them to cooperate and not tell the woman. That woman can do it, why can't he do it?
Michael's facial expression lit up as the idea he had just thought of didn't seem too bad. If she wanted to play a game with him, then he would do the same.
He was sure that there was something that made her want to pretend she was still his wife. She'd been doing it for over a month, but Michael couldn't figure out why.
He was sure, in no time he would find the reason why she did this to him!

Not long after, Sarah finally finished bathing and they had dinner together as usual. While eating dinner, occasionally Sarah glanced at Michael who today looks a little different than usual.
"Looks like something's bothering him," thought Sarah, who had been watching Michael for a long time. She couldn't explain it, but she could feel that something was bothering him.
"Babe!" Sarah finally couldn't hold her curiosity any longer and decided to ask Michael.
"Did something happen? You seem different than usual."
