My Husband And A Lover

In the quiet and empty corridor of the hospital, the cracked floor tiles shone under the dazzling ceiling light.

The silence was broken by the door being pushed open. Urgent footsteps came from the half-opened door with a gust of cold wind, which seemed to make the rows of pale lights sway.

Sweat trickled down Lily Gu's forehead. She was out of breath. As her hand supporting the gurney slipped, she fell heavily to the ground.

Her toes were bloody as she didn't realize when the shoe on one of her feet had disappeared. Her wounds were caked in mud. She had endured the pain for so long that she had become numb.

A nurse came running towards her and helped her up. "Are you all right, Dr. Lily?" Lily Gu pushed her away fiercely!

Her eyes were as red as a manic rabbit. Biting her lower lip, she looked at the nurse and yelled, "Forget about me! Take my father to the emergency room. Hurry up!"

The nurse nodded in panic. After hesitating for a while, she pushed the gurney away, leaving Lily Gu behind her.

With her hands on her knees, Lily Gu lowered her head and her hair fell over her face, concealing her expression. The only sign of her distress was her quivering shoulders, which, in turn, made her hair shake as well.

"Dad…,"

she murmured. Her nose twitched. The tears that she had been imprisoned in her eyes for a long time finally poured out like a flood.

She thought she was a very terrible daughter.

It was true.

Her father did not understand her and forced her to take over the family business, but that was no reason for her to say those vicious words to him.

Absolutely not.

He was her father, after all! They depended on each other.

Lily Gu didn't come to her senses until the nurse came back to her.

"Dr. Lily? Oh my God! Why are you still sitting on the ground! Get up. Mr. Jacob has been taken to the operating room. He will be fine!" With her help, Lily Gu slowly sat on the chair in the corridor.

Her face was as pale as the light above her.

She moved her lips and said hoarsely, "My father… Will he be okay?"

"Of course! Mr. Jacob has such an excellent doctor as her daughter. God will bless him! Dr. Lily, you have hold on for him right now, okay?"

Lily Gu nodded and suddenly felt a lump in her throat.

'An excellent doctor?' she thought to herself.

Yes, she was very good at her profession. Many patients' families specially asked for her to perform operations as she had a reputation for pulling back dying patients from the clutches of death. That sense of accomplishment was incomparable to anything.

However, her father never shared their opinion nor did he feel proud of having a daughter who was a doctor.
