Chloe’s face regained the expression of planning, with a little playfulness. “You will know later.”
Herman pondered for a moment and said to Chloe, “Since she is awake, you give the phone to Vera. I have a few words to tell her. I’m afraid she will delay your regularization.”
Chloe raised her eyebrows, with a happy smile on her face and mercifully put the pager in my hand.
Herman kept nagging in my ear
“Vera, when you leave the operating room later, the dean will come to see you. Act a little more relaxed and praise Chloe a few more times, thanking her for saving your life. Do you understand? I’ve given you such an important task, don’t mess it up!”
I couldn’t hear what Herman was saying.
The greatest sorrow was the death of the heart. My heart died at this moment. The heart that had loved Herman for seven years finally died at the moment when I gave birth to the crystallization of his life.
I laughed bitterly. “Herman, our baby is a boy. You go to the nursery and wait. I want you to make the bed for the baby in advance.”
Herman coughed unnaturally. “That’s natural. Of course, I will treat my child with my heart.”
Herman didn’t see Chloe’s suddenly pale face.
