Dominic took his eyes off the file and looked out the window, it was indeed snowing harder and harder outside. Secretary Dai turned on the wipers, kept a steady speed, at this moment, Dominic suddenly spoke:
"Wait."
"General manager, what's wrong with you?"
Secretary Dai immediately slowed down, his gaze drifting through the rearview mirror to Dominic's face.
"Beggars on the other side of the road, go down and give them some money."
"Yes..."
He scratched his head and opened the umbrella to get out of the car. The beggar was sitting curled up on the side of the road, his body shivering from the cold, his clothes were ragged and dirty, and his hair was disheveled. Secretary Dai stepped closer, still smelling an unpleasant smell, he tried to hold back, handing him some bills.
Like a drowning man who grabs a stake, the beggar hissed in thanks, his skin pale, his chapped lips quivering two words:
"Thanks..."
Secretary Dai nodded and quickly got back into the car. The warm air inside made him much more comfortable.
Dominic didn't say anything more, at this point he started the car, driving, secretary Dai wondered.
The behavior of the general manager is strange today.
Giving blood to a person without even knowing who that person is.
Secretary Dai heard that the person in critical condition was a pregnant woman.
He suddenly remembered the question the editor girl had asked his general manager earlier. What kind of woman is the general manager like?
Dominic: "None."
His answer at that time made the whole studio stunned, in the end they had to end it early with an advertisement.
Secretary Dai wondered, is it possible that the general manager of his house, is a pregnant woman?
He shivered just thinking about it, couldn't help but shake his head a few times.
Moments later, he couldn't help but say:
"General manager, I heard that the person you donated blood to is a pregnant woman in prison."
Prisoner?
Dominic didn't raise an eyebrow, "yeah" faintly.
"Now many people do this to get a temporary suspension of serving a sentence..."
He closed his eyes, ignoring Secretary Dai's ramblings, Secretary Dai also found out that the pregnant prisoner was named Edna, pregnant with twins… Edna… Edna, such a beautiful name… he was curious about her face. How she, unconsciously blurted out.
"Edna..."
Dominic's eyelashes suddenly moved, his pupils were black, deep, as calm as the surface of a deep lake.
Why did his heart suddenly react when hearing this name?
Dominic took a deep breath, maybe it was because Dai was talking too much, so he suddenly thought about it. Dominic spoke up to remind him:
"Secretary Dai, focus on driving."
Secretary Dai was startled, his mouth immediately closed.
"Yes."
The snow still hadn't stopped falling, the cold wind blowing through the unclosed window made Edna shiver and open her eyes.
The ceiling was white, the smell of disinfectant was sharp to the nose, just woke up, the pain had reverberated, making her whole body weak, breaking out in a cold sweat.
She blinked several times before she could clearly see the scene in the room. In the hospital room, there were three more pregnant women, next to them were all taken care of by their husbands.
Only Edna was without anyone beside her, her hand stuck with a syringe.
Edna looked around the room, her baby…where was it?
She moved her body to want to sit up, but just barely moved, the place between her legs involuntarily throbbed.
"Ah..."
Edna gritted her teeth, her hand gripping the iron rail of the bed. A pregnant woman who had not yet slept, heard a noise beside her bed, and shook her sleeping husband beside her.
"Go see how she's doing."
The other man was awakened, rubbing his eyes, and looked in Edna's direction. She looked at them with wide eyes as if asking for help, so he got up and walked over to her bed.
"Are you awake? Want me to call the nurse?"
Edna nodded like a pound of garlic, and he pressed the red button on the headboard of her bed. Finished, he asked again:
"Where are your family members, why don't you see them?"
She shook her head, not speaking. The other man frowned slightly, apparently not very pleased, but he didn't mind much, returning to his wife's bed.
A moment later, the nurse pushed open the door and entered, her face troubled by being woken up in the middle of the night. Seeing someone calling her Edna, she didn't even hide...
"What?"
Edna opened her mouth and asked:
"My... my child..."
"What you say I don't understand, say it out loud." The nurse glared at her coldly, and Edna shook her head, pointing at her throat.
"Are you mute?"
She nodded. The conversation of the two woke up all three remaining pregnant women, they looked at her curiously, the other nurse checked the needle, saw that it was gone but not removed, the blood was flowing back up. The nurse coldly took the needle out of her hand, Edna frowned in pain, the other nurse didn't say anything else but turned to leave, Edna hastily grabbed her lapel.
"My child... my child..."
"Your child is in the intensive care unit, ask the family to pay the money to see it!"
She scowled at Edna, snarling… to Edna's full imploring:
"Please… please let me see my child..."
She doesn't understand speech, doesn't even care that she's a patient, coldly shoved Edna's hand away.
Edna was leaning forward now, lost her momentum, and fell from the bed.
"Boom!"
That loud cry woke the other three patients in the ward, their expressions were very upset from being woken up. And the other nurse girl hesitated, reaching out her hand to help Edna get up in front of them.
Edna was in pain, cold sweat ran down her spine, she was in such pain that she couldn't move, couldn't even groan, her eyebrows were tightly clenched, her teeth clenched into her white lips.
"Are you okay? Why did you fall all of a sudden..."
She even deliberately spoke as if it had nothing to do with her. But at this moment, a female patient in the ward could not hold back any longer and spoke up:
"Didn't you purposely push her hand away, that's why she fell? Such a large hospital has such cold-blooded nurses!"
The nurse girl heard that, her face immediately turned white.
"It's not… you got it wrong!"
"Not at all! I even filmed the clip!"
Finished, she opened the clip earlier for everyone to see. When it came to the part where the nurse girl said that she had to have money to see her child, their faces were very angry.
"Money?! Are you even worthy of being a nurse?!"
Another person criticized, she could no longer deny, under their pressure, to take Edna to meet her child.
Edna couldn't speak, she could only look at them with grateful eyes.
She was carried on a stretcher and taken away, her two children were born prematurely, so they had to stay in an incubator, Edna looked at her child, the corners of her eyes were involuntarily stinging...
There was a time when she wanted to give up these two children, but then when her maternal instincts awakened, Edna felt like they became her flesh and blood, unable to leave…
