Henry Mitchell was an emergency doctor who saved lives, and Sophie Lawrence was one of the few female search - and - rescue workers.
They had been married for five years but had no children. Sophie Lawrence felt that she could never be a good wife. Lying in bed, she tossed and turned, with the ultrasound photo constantly flashing through her mind, and her heart was filled with mixed feelings, making it difficult for her to fall asleep. The doctor had told her that she was over a month pregnant. After a while, she rolled over, picked up her phone, and dialed Henry Mitchell's number. "Henry Mitchell, can you tell me if you still love me?" There was silence on the other end of the line, with no response at all. Sophie Lawrence's heart seemed to instantly plunge into a dark abyss, and she understood.
Sophie Lawrence forced herself to suppress the surging emotions within her. Her voice was a little hoarse as she said, "Since that incident five years ago, I've been immersed in the guilt of losing my teammates. For such a long time, I've ignored you..." She paused for a moment here, as if gathering courage, and then slowly uttered a few words: "Let's get a divorce..."
At this moment, Henry Mitchell, standing in the hospital corridor, suddenly clenched his hands tightly. He interrupted Sophie Lawrence and said, "I'm very busy here. When I come back, we'll talk about this properly." Then he hung up the phone directly. Listening to the "beep - beep" sound in her ear, Sophie Lawrence's eyes suddenly turned red, and tears welled up in them.
The next day, Sophie Lawrence submitted the "Suspension Report Application" from her drawer. Standing on the playground, she watched her teammates training, and a myriad of feelings welled up in her heart. Memories of the past flooded back. Those days of training and going on missions together seemed to be right in front of her eyes, but now, all of this was about to become a thing of the past, and her heart was full of reluctance and emotion.
"Beep - beep - beep!" Suddenly, an urgent police siren rang in her ears. Her teammates immediately dropped what they were holding and rushed towards the search - and - rescue garage. Sophie Lawrence also followed without hesitation. She thought to herself that this might be her last mission this year, and she must do her best for this last shift. The whole team quickly assembled, boarded the vehicle in an orderly manner, and then sped towards the rescue scene.
A large fire had suddenly broken out in a logistics warehouse. The fire was fierce, and thirteen people were trapped. When they arrived at the scene, they saw that the warehouse had been engulfed by the fire. The flames soared into the sky, and thick smoke billowed, like a ferocious beast baring its fangs and claws. Sophie Lawrence immediately ordered her team members to quickly create a firebreak and then led some people to rush into the fire scene.
The moment she rushed through the burning warehouse door, Sophie Lawrence's steps hesitated for an instant. She couldn't help but think of the child in her womb. It was a new life, the fruit of her and Henry Mitchell's love. But in the next moment, she gritted her teeth and rushed into the fire scene without hesitation.
Sophie Lawrence searched for the trapped people all the way in the fire scene. Finally, she found a trapped girl under a collapsed shelf. She quickly stepped forward to clear the things pressing on the girl. At this time, she suddenly heard the girl's crying voice: "Don't bother with me. I can't get out..." Sophie Lawrence didn't respond. She just gritted her teeth silently and used all her strength to prop up the scalding - hot shelf pressing on the girl and then pulled the girl out. The girl's left leg was injured, so Sophie Lawrence helped her walk towards the outside.
However, at this moment, a steel shelf on fire beside the girl suddenly tilted and was about to fall on them! Sophie Lawrence hardly hesitated. Subconsciously, she pushed the girl hard, and herself blocked the falling shelf.
Three days later.
Henry Mitchell boarded the plane home. Today should be Sophie Lawrence's day off, but when he got home, he found the house empty. Henry Mitchell couldn't help frowning. He took out his phone and called Sophie Lawrence, but the phone rang with no answer. A sense of unease suddenly flashed through Henry Mitchell's heart. This unease was like a seed, quickly taking root and sprouting in his heart. Without waiting any longer, he rushed downstairs and ran towards the search - and - rescue team.
As soon as he entered the camp area, Henry Mitchell saw a group of search - and - rescue workers in blue formal uniforms standing in line on the playground. Their expressions were solemn and sad, and the entire camp area was shrouded in a repressive atmosphere. Sophie Lawrence's former old captain was holding a box covered with a white cloth and slowly walking towards Mrs. Sang. Henry Mitchell's pupils suddenly contracted, and he seemed to be nailed to the spot, unable to move. Then he saw the old captain hand the box to Mrs. Sang. Mrs. Sang's white hair trembled slightly in the wind. She took the box with trembling hands, and tears instantly welled up in her eyes.
The old captain, with tears in his eyes, turned to face all the search - and - rescue workers. His voice was choked but loud as he shouted, "Search - and - Rescue Team One: 23 people were dispatched, 1 sacrificed, and no civilians were injured!" Then he raised his voice, "Please remember the name of the hero: Sophie Lawrence!"
At three o'clock in the morning, Green Valley Town Central Hospital.
A series of urgent and anxious shouts rang out at the entrance of the emergency hall: "Doctor! Doctor! Save him quickly!" Sophie Lawrence, dressed in an orange - yellow search - and - rescue suit, pushed a stretcher into the hall. Henry Mitchell heard the shouts and immediately joined his colleagues to push the patient into the operating room. Sophie Lawrence watched Henry Mitchell's hurried back. Her face, covered with soot, froze for a moment. Somehow, her originally flustered heart suddenly calmed down.
Outside the emergency room, Sophie Lawrence and several teammates stood dirty and tired in the corridor. The youngest teammate in the team leaned against Sophie Lawrence, looking at her with a pleading look in his eyes, and asked as if seeking confirmation, "Captain, Frank Richardson will be okay, right?" Sophie Lawrence forced a smile at the corner of her mouth, as if comforting her teammate and also herself, and said, "Don't worry. That guy is tough." Her mind flashed back to the scene where Frank Richardson was on fire all over his body in order to rescue a little girl. After the fire was put out, he could hardly speak clearly.
Three hours later, the light in the operating room went out. Henry Mitchell walked out. Sophie Lawrence and her teammates immediately surrounded him and asked anxiously, "Doctor, how is he?" Henry Mitchell's eyes were calm and steady as he said softly, "He's all right." Hearing this news, the teammates were overjoyed and cried, saying one after another, "Thank you, doctor! Thank you so much!" Henry Mitchell nodded and then walked straight past Sophie Lawrence without looking at her again. Sophie Lawrence's face stiffened as she watched Henry Mitchell leave and said, "Xiaoming, you stay and take care of Frank Richardson. The others return to the team first." "Yes!"
After the teammates left, Sophie Lawrence walked towards Henry Mitchell's office and knocked gently on the door. Henry Mitchell raised his head and frowned slightly, asking, "What's the matter?" Sophie Lawrence carefully said, "It's my uncle's birthday tomorrow. Can you take a day off?" Henry Mitchell was stunned and didn't answer. Seeing Henry Mitchell's reaction, Sophie Lawrence was filled with bitterness. She said softly, "You've forgotten, right?" They had known each other for twenty years and been married for five years, but she didn't know since when he seemed to not care about anything related to her. Henry Mitchell's expression turned cold as he said, "Now I know. Is there anything else?" Listening to Henry Mitchell's cold tone, Sophie Lawrence clenched her hands tightly, lowered her head, and slowly turned to leave.
In the evening, when Sophie Lawrence returned home, the house was very quiet. She pursed her lips and walked towards the bedroom. At this time, there was a sound of running water coming from the bathroom. Sophie Lawrence changed her clothes. Suddenly, Henry Mitchell's phone on the bedside table rang. Sophie Lawrence picked it up and saw that it was a reminder from the phone memo - "Remind Chloe Morgan to go to the hospital for nebulization tomorrow." Sophie Lawrence stood still, and a chill ran through her heart. She suddenly realized that it wasn't that he was forgetful, but that he simply didn't want to remember...
Henry Mitchell came out of the bathroom and saw Sophie Lawrence sitting at the end of the bed. He was stunned for a moment. Before Sophie Lawrence could speak, he had already walked around the end of the bed, climbed onto the bed, and said faintly, "I'm very tired. I'll go to sleep first." Sophie Lawrence's heart trembled, and she hardly slept all night, with all kinds of thoughts intertwined in her mind.
The next morning, Sophie Lawrence and Henry Mitchell drove to her uncle's house. Sophie Lawrence's uncle and Henry Mitchell's family were old friends. Shortly after they arrived, Mr. He and Mrs. He also arrived. Mrs. He looked at her daughter - in - law, whom she rarely saw, but there was not much joy on her face. Taking advantage of no one else's attention, Mrs. He pulled Sophie Lawrence and Henry Mitchell aside.
"When do you plan to have a child?" Mrs. He asked bluntly. Sophie Lawrence's heart tightened. Mrs. He had mentioned the matter of having children more than once. In the past, Sophie Lawrence had used the excuse of being too busy with work to fend it off, but today Mrs. He was determined to get an answer. Mrs. He looked at Sophie Lawrence, her tone not very friendly: "What's so good about being a search - and - rescue team captain? You're hardly ever around, and you're always in danger of losing your life." "Even if you quit your job and stay at home, with Henry Mitchell's ability, would he treat you badly?" "Mom, I..." "You don't need to explain anything. I have only one sentence. You must get pregnant before the Chinese New Year!" After saying that, Mrs. He walked towards Mr. He. Sophie Lawrence pinched her nails, feeling at a loss. And Henry Mitchell didn't say a word from start to finish.
At ten o'clock in the evening, the two returned home. After Sophie Lawrence took a bath and came out, Henry Mitchell just moved his eyes away from his phone and looked at Sophie Lawrence. "I have several surgeries in the hospital tomorrow, so I won't take you to the search - and - rescue team." Sophie Lawrence paused in her hair - drying action and softly replied, "Okay."
The next day, when Sophie Lawrence got up, Henry Mitchell was already not at home. After breakfast, Sophie Lawrence suddenly found that Henry Mitchell had left his documents at home, so she took a taxi to the hospital first. After arriving at the hospital, seeing that Henry Mitchell was not in his office, she went to the nurse station to ask.
"Do you know where Dr. Henry Mitchell is?" The nurse didn't even look up and said, "Dr. Henry Mitchell is on vacation today."
