On Thursday afternoon
As usual, Nina went to Kanner Hospital for an exam. No matter how busy he was, John would take time off work and go to the hospital with her.
John remembered Nina changed her WeChat profile pic. He kept a straight face and said nothing, but he held her a little too tightly, unwilling to let go.
"Honey?" Nina said, tentatively. John gave a perfunctory reply. "Yes?"
'Oh, that again!'
Nina curled her lips. "That all you can say to me?"
John said, "Yes."
Nina put her hand to her forehead in frustration. John had thrown this jealous fit all day. Why didn't he give it a rest?
"Honey, let me show you something." Nina took out her phone and found the photo Emma sent her this morning. It was the first photo taken of Nina and John.
Nina was on the left, her bright eyes smiling. She only came up to John's shoulder.
John was standing with his side facing the camera, looking at Nina. His black eyes blazed like stars with the love he fe
urned light pink, as if she had drunk a little wine.
Soon they arrived at Kanner Hospital.
Five minutes before that, Vivian had already heard Nina and John were pulling into the parking lot. She plotted the most likely hallways they'd take to see Dr. Brian.
"Did you want to go back to the room, Mom?" Vivian asked Julie. Nina and John should be here any minute.
Vivian indicated she wanted go back, but she guided her mother to the most likely hallways Nina would go through.
"I've only been walking around for three minutes. I still want to walk more and get some exercise. Your brother put me through a lot. Now I'm fat." Julie held her waist with one hand and walked slowly. "Dr. Zhou said that the baby's in good condition. I should walk more."
"But Dr. Zhou asked you to be more careful," Vivian said worriedly.
"I'll be back in ten minutes." Julie paid special attention to the baby in her belly.
Ten minutes was enough for Vivian to carry out her plan.
