Chapter 1899 Choosing The Wrong Father
Therefore… I can’t give birth to this child!
As Janice caressed her belly gently, a ruthless idea took shape in her mind. Although it would be risky, she was willing to take the risk to snag Wilbur.
However, that was a sudden idea, so she still had to plan it out meticulously if she wanted to put it into action flawlessly.
“’Don’t blame me for being callous. You only have yourself to blame for choosing the wrong father…”
The following day, Nicole went with Evan to Bernian Hospital in the morning to work since her scenes with Yuvan were scheduled in the afternoon.
Evan took out the plan he made the previous afternoon regarding the hospital’s development in the future and showed it to her.
“What is this?”
“Take a look at it, and you’ll know.”
Taking it, Nicole looked at it solemnly and carefully. When she reached the second half, a grin stretched her lips from ear to ear.
“You’re planning to invest more money to expand the hospital?”
Evan nodded in affirmation. “Yup. I took a look at the inpatient department yesterday and found out that many patients could only linger in the corridor because of the lack of wards. It’s inconvenient, so I’m planning to buy the undeveloped area in the east to build more wards.”
At that, Nicole chuckled. “Then, have you ever considered that there might still be insufficient wards after the expansion?”
Evan deliberated for a while before nodding. “Considering your medical skills, I believe that there’ll only be more patients coming after hearing about you. Hence, the phenomenon of insufficient wards will still exist! While my strength alone is limited, I’ll still do whatever I can and want to do. No matter how many patients the new expansion can accommodate, it’s my gift to you in support of your career.”
Touched, Nicole gazed at him deeply.
“Evan, this isn’t just your support toward my career, but your great love toward the patients. This decision of yours is exceedingly meaningful. I’m really blessed to be your wife!”
“I’m the blessed one to have married such a loving wife. I only decided to do so because I heard that you used the hospital’s profits last month to subsidize the patients who can’t afford treatment. My idea of expanding the inpatient department is all thanks to your influence. You’re doing so much despite being a woman, so I should support you as much as possible when I’m not only a man but your husband to boot.”
Nicole was silent for a moment before murmuring, “I’ve never thought of using the hospital to make money. I think the most crucial thing in life is the number of fruitful and meaningful things one has done in life instead of the wealth one accumulated. Neither have I ever thought of a certain sum I’d have to save up in my lifetime. When we’re old, we can just go to some old city and live in seclusion. It won’t cost much for us to lead a simple and happy life. Besides, we still have five children. They won’t stand idly by as we starve.”
Looking into her eyes that brimmed with longing, Evan asserted, “We’ll have such a life in the future. When we can no longer contribute to society, I’ll take you to live in seclusion. We’ll enjoy the morning sunlight and evening breeze, watch the flowers bloom and wither, and gaze at the stars at night.”
“Really?”
“Yup!”
“In that case, I also want to plant a huge patch of roses in the courtyard!”
“Sure! You can do anything you want!” Evan’s alluring voice carried infinite affection.
As the two of them gazed at each other, Nicole flashed him a sweet smile.
Subsequently, the sound of a flurry of knocks on the door jolted them back to reality. They both corralled their emotions and put away their yearning for that incredible life in the future.
“Come in,” Nicole stated.
Her assistant came in, saying that a patient requiring acupuncture came after hearing about her and insisted that she treat him personally. Without thinking much about it, Nicole got to her feet and headed to the consultation room with Evan.
After the diagnosis, Nicole personally performed the acupuncture. When the half-an-hour session ended, the patient thanked her effusively and even said that he had nothing of value to give her besides some local specialties from his hometown.
