Chapter 350 - Epilogue- Family 3 (2/2)
****
Time never stops....
Life never pauses....
Elder Wang died.... The same week Xiu Mei gave birth to a little baby boy.
In a blink of an eye, four months had passed.
And if one thing that most changed in these four months was-- their relationship. It strengthened. It turned more beautiful and romantic where none of them shy away from expressing their love and d.e.s.i.r.e for each other.
Thirty-eight hours had passed and Suyin had rushed back from the office to not miss the special moment. Standing at the operation theatre observatory, she had her eyes on the man who was doing one of the most challenging surgeries of his life.
One hundred and five staff members were coordinating to make the surgery successful. All lead by Wang Shi. The conjoined twins were barely a year old girl, sharing a common diaphragm and a liver and just a pair of lungs.
It's a responsibility. And Wang Shi doesn't want to disappoint their parents. He understands the pain of losing a child.
And she knew he'd do it successfully.
He will.
Forty hours...
And she saw Wang Shi stepping back from the table. He takes off his glove and looked up at the observatory and gave her a thumbs up.
Ignoring the presence of people around her, she gave a flying kiss, mouthing, 'I'm proud of you.' and like a proud wife she was, she applauded for him, loudest, joined by everyone present.
An hour later, after confirming that the twins were stable, he returned to the office to see Suyin.
”Suy--”
She threw herself at him, peppering kisses all over his face. Startled at first, soon he composed himself and return her gesture with a deep kiss on her lips, tasting the strawberry of her lip balm. Just when he thought to go deeper, she broke the kiss, leading him to the table where a scrumptious hot meal was waiting for him.
”But I'm interested in strawberries only.”
Initially, she didn't understand but seeing him l.i.c.k.i.n.g his lips, it dawned on her. ”Later. But first this.” she pressed at his shoulder to make him sit.
”Promise?”
”Greedy man.”
He checked his watch. ”Forty-one hours and ten minutes, Suyin!”
She could see the red marks on his face where he had worn the mask and the head equipment. The swelling around his eyes was prominent. ”Behave. You have an entire night to kiss me.”
”But--”
”Two days, no kissing.”
”He--”
”No cuddles too.”
He opened his mouth, but Suyin was already ready to increase the punishment. He raises his hand in defeat. Face drooping in disappointment as he pulled the plate.
”Stop.”
