Chapter 27
“Is it nice?”
“It’s sour,” Fia said as she sniffed and tried to hold back the tears in her eyes. She then forced a smile
at Jason. “But it’s delicious.”
As she had it in her mouth, she could even feel her stomach feeling better.
“That’s good.”
He then stuffed the remaining package into her hand. “If you don’t feel that well, eat one of them. You’ll
feel better.”
Fia nodded. These were things that her husband was supposed to do. However, he was busy taking
care of his childhood lover.
“How did you know that a pregnant mother will feel better after having some dried plums? Has your
wife been pregnant before too?”
“No.” Jason frowned and couldn’t help but say, “I’m still single. Unmarried.”
Fia was stunned. She didn’t expect someone as learned, kind, and passionate as Jason to not be
married yet.

“Yes. You’re one of the rare doctors. There must be plenty of people that like you.”
Jason nodded and said, “Unfortunately, I like none of them.”
Fia was surprised again and asked, “Are you waiting for your first love too?”
Just like Conrad?
“No, I have never found anyone I like.”
Jason then looked at the thin girl in front of him earnestly. “I’m not someone that’s willing to
compromise with my life. If I can’t find the one that I want to live with for the rest of my life, then I won’t
marry.”
“Doctor… You’re a great man. There must be a girl who likes you earnestly. If she’s alright, give her a
chance.” She didn’t hope for other girls to end up as pitiful as her.
Jason could see through Fia’s gentle thoughts. He then answered, “They’re not at fault for liking me,
but I won’t give them a chance to get close to me. If I don’t play with their feelings, then I’m not
responsible for
them.”
Fia was stunned. It was exactly because Conrad gave her a chance that she was in so much pain and
regret in her marriage.
“We must look forward,” Jason said and stopped the topic right there. He couldn’t let things continue
like this for such a kind woman… Especially if the other person didn’t care for her at all.
“Thank you for the plums, doctor.”
“It’s nothing. I have to make my rounds now. See you around.”
“Alright.”
It wasn’t long after Jason left that Eileen found her way to her.
“Why do you look so lost? Did that dog harass you again?”
Fia shook her head and said, “This is the result of my own actions. I shouldn’t have been so obsessed
with my own delusions.”
Eileen frowned and saw the dried plums in her hands.
And when she connected those to the handsome doctor’s words that Fia had stopped him from
finishing
“Are you pregnant?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Yeah.” Fia no longer wanted to hide it. It was tiresome to be alone.
Eileen escorted her to the stairs and had her sit down on the steps with an exasperated expression on
her
face.
“What are you going to do now?”
Fia pulled a long face. “I don’t know.”
Eileen then asked, “Are you going to tell the dog that you’re pregnant?”
Fia shook her head. “I wanted to, but you can see it too, can’t you? All he cares about is my cousin.”
Eileen then continued asking, “Didn’t your mother–in–law wish that you were pregnant? If you can’t
bear to lose that dog, you can tell him that you’re pregnant! Maybe he’ll have a change of heart!”
Fia let out a bitter smile. “He won’t. I’ve asked him about having a child. I’ve asked him about wanting
to get a test tube baby. If he wants it, I’m willing to sacrifice anything to give him what he wants.”
Eileen asked, “Then what did he say?”
“He didn’t want it. He said that he hates children. And then recently, he said our marriage is a mistake.
That our bond should be severed completely.”
