“Sorry…” Noah frowned,
“What’s there to be sorry about?” Rosalynn smiled. “When did you come back?”
“Last month.” Noah spoke, pointing at the work badge on his chest. Tm a pediatrician now!”
Rosalynn looked puzzled.
“Noah, you’ve emigrated, so why did you come back to work here?”
Noah felt a little bitter inside.
That reason, he couldn’t say now.
“What else could it be? Of course, it’s for the pediatric cause of our motherland!” Noah ruffled Rosalynn’s hair. “Do you have plans for lunch? I’ll treat you!”
Rosalynn checked the time. Although she came early in the morning, it took time for the examination, getting the report, and waiting in line for the results. In the blink of an eye, it was almost noon.
“Sure!” Rosalynn agreed with a smile.
Noah went to change his coat.
Rosalynn waited in place.
Because it was just outside the pediatric clinic, she could occasionally hear nurses passing by, gossiping
about Noah.
“Dr. Holland is so handsome and gentle, and I heard his family is quite wealthy!”
“And he’s single! A golden bachelor!”
“Yesterday I saw Dr. Goldsmith from the Endocrinology Department confessing to Dr. Holland, and he turned
her down!”
“Ah? But Dr. Goldsmith is so beautiful!”
“I heard Dr. Holland has someone he likes, and he came back to the country for her!”
“Wow, is that true? That’s kind of romantic!”
Rosalynn couldn’t help but get curious.
So Noah came back for his sweetheart?
For someone to make Noah give up his overseas career and come back, this young lady must be extraordinary! She wondered if Noah would introduce her to this person.
“What are you thinking about?”
A snapping finger appeared in front of her.
The hand was clean, fair, and slender.
“Why are you still so absent-minded like when you were little?” Noah put his hands behind his back, bent down, and looked at Rosalynn with feigned curiosity.
He changed into a gray coat, with a white shirt and black trousers underneath, which made him look tall and handsome.
‘People don’t change that easily.” Rosalynn replied with a smile.
At this moment, two nurses at the triage desk stretched their necks to look this way.

“Let’s go.”
Rosalynn turned and headed downstairs.
Noah followed, his beautiful eyes slightly downcast.
Looking at her slim figure, he thought:
She used to be so chubby
Why is she so thin now?
Is she not doing well?
Is her husband not treating her well?
Noah drove Rosalynn to a place near Gravel Lane.
“The restaurant we used to go to as kids is still open. I remember you loved their cumin beef!”
After parking the car.
Noah chatted while leading Rosalynn across a road and into an old alley.
The owner looked quite young, probably just in his early thirties.
Noah introduced, “The owners who used to run this place have retired. The current owner is their grandson.”
Rosalynn nodded.
“Rosalynn, I forgot to ask you earlier.” Noah wiped the dishes for Rosalynn without looking at her. “How are you doing?”
Rosalynn felt an inexplicable sourness in her heart.
“Yes” She nodded.
“Why didn’t your husband accompany you for the prenatal check-up?” Noah’s tone carried a hint of blame.
Rosalynn was speechless. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
How did they end up back on this topic?
After thinking about it for a moment, Rosalynn decided not to hide the truth.
“I’m not married.” Rosalynn paused for a moment. “I’m still single.”
Noah’s hand trembled.
