Back then, they had just registered. Or more accurately, they had just met. Evelyn had no sense of security, but she was too stubborn to show it. So she always cried secretly in the dead of night.
That was why, as long as he wasn't traveling, no matter how late it got, Alexander would go home to sleep. Even if the apartment was closer to the company.
And this time, Evelyn had come back from the brink of death. And he had come back from the dead.
He didn't want to leave her. He couldn't bear to be too far away from her. He was careful about everything, just afraid of another accident. Only someone who had lost and regained could understand this feeling.
Evelyn told him in the evening that she wanted a divorce.
He knew she wasn't joking. She wasn't throwing a tantrum. She truly didn't want to live with him anymore.
That was what worried him the most.
If Evelyn was just making a scene, he could coax her and make her happy. The problem would be easy to handle.
But the truth was, Evelyn wasn't making a scene. She had seriously made the decision to divorce him.
She wasn't the type to always talk about divorce. In fact, this was the first time she had ever truly filed for divorce with him.
Although there had been crises in their marriage before, Evelyn had never taken the initiative to divorce. She had only said she would give him the initiative to consider whether their engagement should continue.
This time, she didn't discuss it with him. She didn't leave it for him to decide. She had her own opinion, and she had decided to divorce him.
For a long time, he hadn't thought Grace was the problem between them.
It was impossible for him to live with Grace. He only wanted to live with Evelyn.
In fact, every time he and Evelyn had a conflict, it was because of Grace.
It seemed the demon barrier of their marriage couldn't be removed.
He turned to look at Evelyn. By the dim yellow light, she was sleeping like a child.
He didn't know if she had him in her dreams. Even if she did, it probably wasn't a pleasant role for her.
This little girl was stubborn sometimes. He couldn't do anything about her at all.
But now, even if there was no way, he had to come up with a way to deal with it. No matter what means, it was enough to make Evelyn change her mind.
He never expected that when he was in his thirties, he would start thinking about how to chase a woman he liked.
Evelyn didn't sleep well all night. First, she had messy dreams. In the dream, a bear was chasing her, scaring her into running. As a result, she ran behind and found it wasn't a bear but Alexander chasing her. She carelessly fell into the water.
After waking up, she urgently needed to use the bathroom.
She didn't want to wake Alexander. She just wanted to go to the bathroom.
As a result, as soon as she got up, Alexander woke up and asked, "Do you need to go to the bathroom or drink water?"
Evelyn had to answer truthfully, "I want to go to the bathroom. You can sleep. I can do it myself."
As a result, Alexander just lifted the quilt, got out of bed, held her in his arms, and walked toward the bathroom.
She forgot to scream.
So Alexander took her to the bathroom.
"I'm at the door. Call me if you need anything." Alexander put her down and walked out of the bathroom.
"Oh." Evelyn said slowly after a long time.
Then when the sound of water rang out, Evelyn thought Alexander was standing at the door. She felt embarrassed, but she couldn't hold it.
After going to the bathroom, Evelyn washed her hands and walked out. As expected, Alexander was waiting for her at the door.
"I can go by myself." Evelyn said hastily.
Alexander smiled and helped her walk toward the hospital bed.
"Do you want to drink water?"
"No, I just want to sleep." Evelyn responded.
Alexander helped her to bed, helped her cover the quilt, and then lowered his head to kiss her forehead.
"Sleep, baby."
Then he went back to the family bed.
Evelyn was suddenly depressed.
She couldn't help protesting in her mind. Who's your baby? Who's your baby!
Next, she couldn't sleep. So she started counting sheep. She didn't know how many thousands of sheep she counted, and she still didn't feel sleepy. So she secretly turned to look at Alexander.
He was lying on his side, facing her. But he wasn't sleeping very well. His brow was slightly wrinkled.
Evelyn couldn't help sighing in her heart.
It was more comfortable to sleep at home. But Alexander had to be abused here.
On the contrary, the nurse was in a daze.
Alexander woke up in the morning. He washed well and stood in front of the living room window to smoke a cigarette.
After smoking, he waited for the smell of smoke to dissipate. He gargled and then walked back to Evelyn's bedside.
She was sleeping now with her mouth slightly open. She looked dull and lovely.
He didn't know what delicious food she was dreaming of. She was just drooling.
Alexander bent over and gently kissed Evelyn on the lips. Then he got up and looked at her for a while. He went out of the ward and asked the nurse to take care of Evelyn for a while.
He went to see the child in the incubator.
Every afternoon there would be an hour of visiting time. Because of his work, he would go to see the children in the morning.
The nurse reported the child's condition to Alexander.
Alexander looked at his son through the glass window. He had round eyes and seemed curious about everything around him.
When he heard the nurse speak, the corner of his mouth would slightly lift. The charm was really a bit like him.
Now he was better than when he was born.
When he was born, he was wrinkled and red. But now he was white and lovely.
Son, it's up to you for Dad's life.
Alexander conveyed his heart to his son.
The baby waved his hand as if in response to his father's words.
Alexander smiled.
He stood in the same place and looked at the child for more than ten minutes. The nurse put the child back into the incubator. After a while, she came out and told Alexander.
The child had been able to feed. Other indicators of the body were normal. After two days, he could leave here.
Alexander thanked the nurse and left the Department of Pediatrics.
At the moment, looking back at the ward, Evelyn had been standing outside the ward for a long time.
"I told Mrs. Sterling to lie down a little longer. Mrs. Sterling insisted." The nurse said to Alexander in embarrassment.
"It doesn't matter. She's probably a little stuffy. It's better to get up and walk around." Alexander responded.
"I'll go out first. If Mr. Sterling has anything, just call me." The nurse answered.
"Trouble you." Alexander nodded.
When the nurse walked out of the ward, Alexander stood beside Evelyn and looked at the scenery outside the window with her. He asked in a soft voice, "Isn't it hard to stand like this?"
"It's a little bit, but just bear with it." Evelyn responded.
When she left just now, she felt uncomfortable. It was better to stand like this. Looking at the scenery outside the window, she seemed to be more cheerful.
