Chapter 198

A little boy in a dark blue baseball cap bumped into Julie, like hitting a brick wall. He lost his balance and sat down on the ground. Just as Julie was about to bend down to help him up, the little boy pulled down the brim of his cap to hide his face. He picked up a dark blue pendant that had fallen to the ground and clutched it

to his chest as if it were a precious treasure.

Julie extended her hand to the little boy, but he didn’t look up. Suddenly, a tall man burst out of the hospital. He scooped up the boy from the ground without a word to Julie, then turned and headed towards a black SUV parked outside the hospital.

The little boy didn’t cry or struggle, he just kept his head down. Julie couldn’t see his face, only his small hands clutching the pendant.

She watched the man get into the car with the little boy in his arms until the car door closed. Inside the car, she saw a pair of red pointed heels, authoritative and imposing. Her eyes followed the woman’s ankle up, until they were obscured by the car door.

All she could see was the woman’s hand, with dark red nail polish, reaching out for the boy.

The boy hesitated, then placed the delicate blue pendant in the woman’s hand.

The car door closed. Julie watched the black SUV drive away.

It wasn’t until her phone buzzed in her pocket that she snapped out of her reverie and picked up the call.

It was Dr. Brice’s voice on the other end, “I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me. Turns out it was really you.”

The familiar voice not only came from the phone, but also seemed to be coming from behind her.

She turned around, and sure enough, Dr. Brice was standing right behind her. He was wearing his white doctor’s coat, phone in hand.

They locked eyes. He ended the call, then walked towards her, “Last time I saw you, it was in the newspaper.”

Julie smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to respond. Ever since he had bluntly expressed his affection for her, things between them had become a bit awkward. Even though they still occasionally chatted on WhatsApp, most of the time they talked about Sansa Abraham, no longer occasionally caring about each other’s lives as friends.

Feeling the shift in their relationship, Dr. Brice took the initiative to speak, “Did you come to see your sister?”

Julie nodded, “Why are you here at the hospital entrance?”

Dr. Brice led Julie towards Sansa’s ward, “Sansa’s treatment fee was delivered by Mr. Hernandez three days ago. In fact, you and Mr. Hernandez remarried… it is very good.” Julie looked at Dr. Brice in
