"When will you bring your kids to meet us?" asked Mrs Collins coldly, looking at Sarah.
She knew that her stupid son had not told her grandson that he was actually their father, but Mrs Collins couldn't wait any longer.
She didn't want to keep secretly going to kindergarten just to peek at what her grandsons were up to. She wanted to meet them in person and interact with them!
Michael opened his mouth when he heard that and then immediately changed his facial expression to scold his mother again. He had said he would work on it as soon as possible, but his mother asked Sarah about it?
Mr Collins' facial expression also changed when he heard his wife's question. Even though his wife shouldn't have said that, deep down he was grateful that she asked the question again.
After seeing the photos and videos shown by Michael, Mr Collins also wanted to meet his grandsons immediately!
"I can't do that," Sarah answered firmly.
Michael looked at Sarah with an expression of disbelief. Sarah can't do it? Why?
Mr. Collins had the same expression, he didn't expect Sarah to immediately reject it and not consider it first.
Mrs Collins' mouth opened when she heard that, she then blinked her eyes.
"I didn't hear wrong, did I?" said Mrs. Collins and then turned to look at Michael and her husband, but the two men just kept quiet, indicating that she had heard absolutely nothing wrong.
"Whoa! I really didn't expect how shameless you are! After hiding my grandsons! You won't allow them to meet us?!" cried Mrs Collins with emotion.
She'd been trying to keep her cool since Michael and her husband were in the room right now, but hearing that she won't let them meet their grandsons made the emotion go out and she couldn't hold it in anymore.
"Did you see it, Michael?! This is the woman you are trying to defend! She was just making excuses for what she was doing back then!" said Mrs. Collins, looking at her son intently.
Even though it's too late because Michael already has a child with that woman, she wants her son to be aware of that woman's behavior!
"Ah! I mean I can't do it in the hospital," Sarah said when she realized that it seemed like what she said earlier had caused a misunderstanding.
The three of them turned their heads back to her when they heard what she just said.
"I mean, my kids are only five years old, they can't stay too long or don't even come to the hospital to see patients. Even if they are allowed, I have to ask Mr. Collins' doctor first, or the nurse on duty first," Sarah continued explaining the procedures in the hospital.
After all, she had been a doctor, and had worked at this hospital. So she knows how the procedure should be done.
Michael and Mr. Collins opened their mouths in understanding when they heard that. So that's the reason why Sarah can't do it. Now it all makes sense.
While Mrs. Collins only snorted when she heard that, she was glad that she didn't stop her from seeing her grandsons, but she was still annoyed.
"Is Mr Collins not allowed to go out for a while? Maybe we can meet in the park near this hospital," said Sarah offering an idea.
She could understand Mr and Mrs Collins' desire to see their grandsons, and Sarah had absolutely no desire to prevent them from meeting.
She might be a little scared of what Mrs Collins might do, but as long as Mr Collins was with her, everything would be fine. Michael would definitely come with them too.
"Ah, that…"
Sarah just smiled at Mr Collins' doubtful attitude. "Looks like Mr Collins should ask his doctor about that first."
Mr Collins nodded when he heard that.
"Then we'll go first," Sarah said and hurried out of the room before Mrs Collins held her back again.
Michael then immediately excused his papa and mama, and went after Sarah, leaving Mr and Mrs Collins in the room.
"You didn't ask to meet them alone?" asked Mr Collins, slightly surprised that his wife had said nothing when she heard that.
Mrs Collins who had just sat down immediately sighed. "Of course we should meet them together." She then turned to her husband. "That's why you have to do the surgery and then get well soon, so we can see our grandsons!"
Mr Collins was silent when he heard this. His decision not to have surgery remains unchanged.
***
Michael looked at Sarah who was walking beside him, then at her hands that were hanging freely. They were currently on their way back to the apartment, and the route they had taken was the same route they had taken six years ago when he used to come to pick up Sarah.
It made Michael nostalgic. Did Sarah feel the same way?
Carried with his feelings, Michael immediately grabbed Sarah's hand and held it, making Sarah flinch and turned to Michael.
"My hands are lonely," Michael said with a slightly red face. His excuse really lame!
Sarah was just silent when she heard that, there was a small smile on her lips. Well… she doesn't mind walking around holding hands like this either.
"By the way, why did your facial expression change when dad talked about you being the doctor?" asked Michael who finally got the chance to ask that question.
He had wanted to ask that since they were still in the hospital, but he was waiting for the right time when they were alone.
"Ah, I just suddenly realized that I've been acting like a doctor out of habit," Sarah said, turning around with a faint smile.
Michael nodded when he heard that. Look? He guessed it wrong again!
"Then why do you look sad? I think you did well, and dad has absolutely no problem with that," Michael said, trying to figure out the meaning behind Sarah's facial expression.
Sarah was shocked when she heard this. She didn't think Michael would think that at all. Is her facial expression clearly visible?
"I… just miss those times, when I met patients and asked about their conditions."
Michael nodded again, seeming to understand what Sarah meant.
"Then why don't you try to be a surgeon again so you can do that again?" asked Michael in confusion.
Sarah seems to still want to be a surgeon again, so why doesn't she try to pursue her dream again?
However, Sarah chose not to answer the question. She still feels hesitant to return to work as a surgeon whose time is very tight.
