The doctor looked at Susan for a while and said, "The patient said that he needed to rest and hoped you leave him alone."
"…"
Susan was quite embarrassed at that moment. Her embarrassment was quite noticeable on her face. She wondered whether her behaviour was the reason for Manuel's elevated heart rate and the anomaly in his body. But she didn't regard her expressing love to him as a bother. She knew that Manuel hadn't been nice to her ever, but she didn't understand why Manuel hated her so much.
But she didn't want to lose face in this case. And she couldn't imagine how the doctor judged her. Feeling angry, Susan decided to leave and never come again. But as soon as she walked out of the intensive care unit, she changed her mind. Shit. Although Manuel broke her heart a thousand times, she still loved him.
She was angry with herself rather than Manuel. When she thought of him, her heart would race and she would still choose to visit him. She told herself that she wouldn't marry anyone but Manuel all her life. Susan walked out of the intensive care unit.
Justine was out there, quite worried because she was frightened by the anomaly in Manuel's body.
"How is he?" Justine asked Susan.
"The doctor said he was fine."
"What happened just now?" Justine was still in shock.
Susan didn't know how to tell that she caused Manuel's urgent condition.
"Tell me what happened." Justine was extremely worried since Manuel's accident had made her feel nervous all the time.
"I just told him that I love him. He said that I bothered him and then his heart rate raced." Susan said this to help Justine calm down. It was difficult for her to tell this. And her telling the truth made her extremely embarrassed. She wondered why she couldn't be graceful in front of Manuel and Justine.
Justine kept looking at her, which made Susan blush.
"Don't look at me in this way. I know I shouldn't have done that to Manuel. I won't say anything when I visit him afterwards."
Justine burst into laughter gently. She was worried but at this moment she was amused by Susan. She thought that living with Susan would not be boring.
"Could you stop laughing at me in this way?" Susan felt more embarrassed since she was embarrassed enough when the doctor witnessed her confession to Manuel. She intended to express her love but Manuel refused her and said she was annoying. If another one experienced this, he or she might feel too embarrassed to face this. But Susan was strong enough to face this.
The baby boy still looked at Hannah with his clear black eyes, as if he was trying to look at his mother carefully. Then, he smiled, which warmed all the people there.
"He smiles! He smiles at you!" said Michelle, excited.
Hannah felt quite warm at this moment. She got to know how it felt to be a parent and to hold a baby in her arm. Holding the baby and seeing him smile was a great experience for her. Oscar also noticed the smile on the baby's face, which made him excited and felt hard to calm down. A weak baby could be strong. It was the power of life.
Suddenly, the baby boy pursed his lips and cried. It seemed that he was asking why they left him alone in the isolette and why his mum hadn't held him as soon as he was born. His cry made them worried since what the baby did was closely related to how they felt.
"I think the baby is hungry now." The nurse reminded them. "Ms Cooper, you can breastfeed him. You don't need to pump milk now. I will help you with that."
Hannah nodded and said to others, "You may leave the room now."
It was embarrassing for her to breastfeed her baby in front of so many people. All were out except for Michelle and Oscar. Hannah glanced at Oscar who was with her when she pumped milk. But she felt embarrassed when both her mother and Oscar were here. But she didn't say anything.
