"Oh, by the way, what did the doctor say?" he asked.
I also shook my head and lied.
"Nothing. The doctor told me to tell you that your physical examination is fine, except for a cold. The cancer screening is also with no problem."
"Really?"
I nodded with absolute certainty.
Alberto's brows raised with joy, and he hugged me tightly again.
"I said that doctors outside the hospital should not be trusted. He took my pulse and said I might have cancer."
So that was the reason why he suddenly wanted to do a cancer screening.
Alberto felt a sense of excitement as if he had survived a catastrophe.
He took out a bottle of good wine from the wine cellar and said he wanted to celebrate it.
He had just been opened the bottle when his phone rang.
I accidentally glanced at the caller ID, which was Lily.
He went to the balcony to answer the phone and then came back, looking a little hesitant.
Finally he picked up his coat.
"Dear, there's something urgent going on at the company, and I need to handle it."
Whatever it was, it was too hasty.
I gently grabbed his sleeve.
"The wine is ready. Can't you stay?"
Alberto pinched my cheek, using a coaxing tone.
