Marry My Ex's Sworn Enemy

Chapter 40 Aer

A woman in an apron emerged from the kitchen, carrying a baby and a case of beer, yelling, "Table four, stir-fried

conch!"

She handed the beer to a group of students, offering bottle openers."Sorry, we're busy. I'll give you a discount

later." She chatted with them, then, glancing up, her eyes widened in surprise.

"Doctor Ella! What a surprise!" She rushed over, handing the baby to Henry."You should have called! | would

have met you at the alley!" She wiped her hands on her apron before reaching out to Sonya. Sonya held her

hand. "Sister Sterling, no need to be so polite."

"Chome. My husband will cook. We'll treat you well," Mrs. Sterling exclaimed, pulling Sonya towards her

house, completely missing Henry.

"Sister-in-law, | have no presence?" Henry said dryly.

Mrs. Sterling noticed Henry."Henry! You're back?"

""Yesterday. I..."

Before he finished, Mrs. Sterling handed the baby to him."Hold Mia (baby's name). I'll Ella settled. Let me

introduce you two."

Pointing to Henry, she said to Sonya, "This is Henry. He works for a big company. He makes a lot of money, and

he's handsome! Better-looking than those TV stars!"

Then, pointing to Sonya, she said to Henry, "She's Dr. Ella, from Haichuan Hospital. She saved my life and Mia's.

It was critical; no one dared to take the case. Thank God for Dr. Ella!

She nudged Henry."Isn't she beautiful? Kind too. Any man marrying her is incredibly lucky."

Sonya blushed."It's my job as a doctor."

Henry laughed. "Saozi, are you trying to setup with Doctor Ella?"

Mrs. Sterling patted Henry's arm."Behave yourself! Don't scare her."

They all laughed.

"What are you two laughing about?"

Henry took Sonya's hand, showing it to Mrs. Sterling.

"You two..."

"We got our marriage license this morning. We're practically an old married couple."

Mrs. Sterling's eyes widened in disbelief."Really?" She looked at Sonya, highlighting Henry's usual playful nature.

Sonya nodded."Really."

Mrs. Sterling laughed. "Wonderful! | have to tell Simon!" She rushed back inside.

Henry looked at Sonya."Our fate was destined."

Sonya teased Mia. "Maybe we've met before. | studied at MIT for eight years, and you often cback here."

Mia was premature. Mrs. Sterling, working hard, started bleeding one night. Simon rushed her to

the hospital. Sonya was on duty. Mrs. Sterling had severe preeclampsia and hemorrhaged. Both mother and baby

were in danger. Two doctors refused the case; Sonya stepped up. The surgery lasted six or seven hours. Both

mother and baby survived miraculously, Mrs. Sterling often brought Mia to see Sonya, so they were familiar with

each other. Mia reached for Sonya.

"Hey, look who it is! I'm your Godfather!" Henry tried to get Mia's attention, but the baby stubbornly reached for

Sonya.

Sonya took the baby and kissed his forehead.

"You're Mia's Godfather?"

"Self-proclaimed."

Sonya smiled. "Then I'm the Godmother?"

"Definitely."

They went to the restaurant. Simon, though busy, came

Henry smirked."We weren't planning to pay anyway."

"My brother's shameless. Takes after me."

Their bond was obvious, but how did a scruffy restaurant owner and an elite professional meet?

Henry gave Mia back to Mrs. Sterling and took Sonya upstairs. The second floor was clean and organized.

"Brother Sterling's family lives here, but | have a room too."

Henry took Sonya to a room at the far end. It was small, with a single bed and a large bookshelf filled with books.

Basketball posters and racing car models decorated the walls-a typical boy's

room.

Sonya was shocked. She noticed Henry trembling slightly; she hugged him tighter. This must have been deeply

traumatic.

"After that, | went home, followed my parents’ plans, went to a top middle and high school, then studied abroad."

They were interrupted by a knock on the door.

"Henry! Jay's fighting someone at the warehouse!" Henry released Sonya.

"Go eat. I'll be right back."

Sonya grabbed his arm. "Don't be impulsive!"

""Don't worry!"
