It seemed as if Zhou Shuang had no intention of spending the rest of her life with him.

She had been planning to leave all along.

Lu Yinan entered a deep reverie with the cigarette in his hand. When the last bit of his cigarette burned his hand, he instinctively released it and it fell to the floor.

He bent at the floor and hastily picked it up. He snuffed it out before throwing it into the ashtray.

Whenever he was in a bad mood, time seemed to crawl.

It felt like hours to Lu Yinan since he left Jiaojiao's ward. But a glance at his watch told him otherwise. It was barely 11 p.m.

'Knock, knock, knock.'

Someone knocked on the door.

He cast his thoughts aside and responded. "Enter."

It was the nurse on duty. "Doctor Lu, there is an emergency case."

And the next second, Lu Yinan heard a scream of agonizing pain. It belonged to a child.

A woman came in with a boy who looked like he was about 10 years old. The boy was tottering unsteadily.

He pressed his tummy with his hand, and he was pale. He looked as though he was in great pain.

Lu Yinan diverted all his attention to this boy and pulled a chair for him. He began his diagnosis.

"Is it painful here?"

He pressed the boy's tummy with his finger.

The boy winced and nodded. "Painful."

"If I don't press it?" Lu Yinan withdrew his hand.

The boy grimaced with pain and replied, "It is still painful."

Lu Yinan stretched his hand and pressed another part of his tummy. "How about this part?"

"Ouch…" The boy cried out in pain. "It's painful!"

He pushed away Lu Yinan's hand and twisted his body in discomfort.

Lu Yinan glanced at the boy and said, "It really seems painful. It's painful enough for a brave boy to cry."

The boy stopped his wails immediately and gazed at Lu Yinan. "I didn't cry. Who says I'm crying?"

He used his sleeve to wipe his tears.

Lu Yinan smiled and said, "Sorry, my mistake. That was sweat."

The boy snorted loudly. "I'm not afraid of pain. I'm a brave boy."

Lu Yinan grinned. "Then surely you wouldn't be afraid of injections."

"Certainly… I'm not." The boy revealed his fear but he still pretended otherwise.

"You're the most courageous boy I've ever met." Lu Yinan stroked the boy's head.

The boy smiled proudly.

And gradually, his fear and anxiety vanished.

Lu Yinan gave his mother a prescription and instructed her, "He ate too much and he had indigestion. It's not very serious. He will be fine after an injection."

The woman thanked Lu Yinan and supported the boy by holding his arm.

"Mommy, Daddy said that the boy is the most courageous child he had ever met. Am I not courageous?"

Jiaojiao was disappointed and sad when she overheard Lu Yinan.

She always thought that she was really brave. She never cried when she needed an injection.

But why didn't Daddy praise her?

She pursed her lips and Zhou Shuang could see right through her. She gently stroked her hair and smiled. "Jiaojiao is very brave. Daddy is just encouraging the boy since he was crying."
