She glanced towards Lu Yinan’s office.
As it was an urgent case, the nurse didn’t shut the door properly when she came out. So, when Zhou Shuang arrived, the door was ajar.
Jiaojiao had taken a short nap. When she woke up, she started whining for her daddy.
She had no choice but to bring her to him. Since he was attending to a patient, she stood outside quietly.
She witnessed how Lu Yinan had treated the little boy.
She realized that Lu Yinan had practiced patience, and he had a way to deal with cranky children too.
In the past, when she came to visit him, he would merely do his job and ignored all the tantrums. After diagnosis, he would send the patient out.
It made her feel that he was a doctor who focused solely on his job.
Recently, she noticed that he had been putting more effort and time with the children.
They always say that when a man reaches 30, he will grow to like children and be more mature and stable.
Was it true for him?
“The doctor says I just need an injection. And I cannot cry later.”
Zhou Shuang was still mulling over when the little boy came out.
The office door swung open and she got a shock. She pulled Jiaojiao towards her and retreated to a dark corner.
After the boy left, Jiaojiao tugged at Zhou Shuang’s hand. She dragged her along and said, “Mommy, let’s go in.”
Zhou Shuang gently pushed Jiaojiao’s hand away. “Jiaojiao you go in by yourself. I’ll wait outside.”
Jiaojiao frowned. “I don’t want! I want Mommy to come with me.”
She stretched her hand to grab Zhou Shuang’s hand. As she pulled her along, she shouted, “Daddy, Mommy and I are here!”
It startled Lu Yinan to hear Jiaojiao. He glanced at the door and saw Jiaojiao and Zhou Shuang’s hand.
He put his pen down and stood up quickly.
“Why aren’t you asleep?” asked Lu Yinan in a slightly disapproving tone.
Jiaojiao pouted sweetly. “I just woke up.”
Since Lu Yinan was already at the door, Zhou Shuang had no choice but to take a step forward. She glanced at Lu Yinan and said, “Jiaojiao slept for two hours. She woke up, saying that she wants to look for you. I’ll let her stay here for a while. When she gets tired, bring her back to the ward.”
She pulled Jiaojiao’s hand away and pushed her gently towards Lu Yinan.
Lu Yinan bent and peered at Jiaojiao before glancing at Zhou Shuang. “Come in and have a seat.”
Zhou Shuang shook her head. “It’s okay. You can be with her.”
“Even if you have no intention to stay with me, you don’t have to avoid me,” Lu Yinan said coldly, and he stared at her. “We have three children and this isn’t something that you can get rid of easily. Or you are planning not to see them ever again? If you wish to, we can’t possibly be like strangers. Come inside for a cup of tea. That is very normal right?”
Lu Yinan had left Zhou Shuang speechless.
She bent and pressed her lips in hesitation.
Suddenly, Lu Yinan stretched his hand to grab her wrist. He pulled her inside without a word.
He beckoned to Jiaojiao and said, “Come in.”
“Okay!” Jiaojiao glanced at Lu Yinan who held Zhou Shuang’s hand. She closed the door after her.
