Words I Was Afraid To Hear Chapter 119

Mich.e.l.le was dazed as she took in the words of the OB-GYN who was a part of her surgery team .

"If even the IVF is not effective, you could always consider adoption . "

The doctor had already left an hour ago, but she still had a hard time processing the information . She knew a lot of languages, and she understood each word the doctor uttered . Why can't she comprehend the thought in those sentences?

Tears started to well up in her eyes .

Riley just came from a nearby family restaurant . The takeout in his hand almost crashed onto the floor when he saw her expression .

She is hurt .

He calmed himself and placed the food on the table, then he sat on the bed .

He reached out to caress her cheek . He smiled, ever so gently at her .

"Riles, would you be okay if we could only adopt a child?"

He felt like an arrow had landed on his chest . He was also given the same explanation before she woke up .

She was already thinking of the worst case on her fertility .

He sighed . "I will want a child when you decide to have one . " He smiled at her .

Her tears fell and she hugged him like she will never let go .

This man had always been understanding of her circ.u.mstances .

They might have met not too long ago, bound initially by an irresponsible action, welded by a tragedy, and kept together by their choices, but she knew that no one could accept her and all her flaws as much as he did .

"Riles . . . " she was sobbing .

"Hmmm?" He was crying as well while he held her .

"I love you . " She looked into his eyes . "Please don't leave me!"

At this point, he had the urge to scold her for having such ridiculous idea . However, he chose to be the patient and understanding husband that he is .

He embraced her tighter . "I will never leave you . Whatever happens, I'm here . "

When he saw that Manta was enjoying the raw seafood, his mouth twitched . Looks like his weapon to keep flies away was not effective on a bee flying around his honey .

Dan was irritated enough not to wait for the little guy . Good thing that Manta caught up to them .

When Midori saw the motorcycle, she had a look of disbelief .

"You came here using that?"

Dan furrowed his brows . He does not appreciate her questioning his methods when she was caught red-handed .

Midori recalled how he sucked in riding a bicycle back in high school . He had always ridden on a 4-wheeled vehicle . How did he survive coming to pick her up on a motorcycle?!

But then again, he might have learned it when she left him .

It might be her hormones but she got irritated with the thought that he might have ridden with Ming Rus.h.i.+ on a motorcycle .

Dan saw the fury on her face, and his own anger vanished .

He followed her gaze and it landed on the motorcycle . On his peripheral view was the little boy who should be in a 4-wheel vehicle . He therefore concluded that she was having the dilemma on how to bring everyone home . He did not know that he will also be bringing back the boy when he hastily went to pick up his wife .

"Sorry . I didn't know that Manta is . . . "

"If your sorry can turn this junk into a decent car, I'll take it!" Midori cut him off . "Why are you even here?!"

Dan was guilty, but when her question landed, he felt dejected . It seemed like his wife did not want to see him . Then again, she was having dinner with someone else .

"I was worried on how you took the news about Park . You never called home to tell Aunty that you'll dine outside . People are busy preparing food right now . " His tone was monotonous, but there was a hint of anger on his voice .

Suddenly, Manta spoke . "Uncle Dan, can I ride on the big bike? Pretty please?" His puppy eyes were hard to resist .
