After having dealt with Sabrina in the hospital, Sasha had a pretty pleasant day.
It was four oâclock in the afternoon, and she needed to go and pick up her children.
âSorry, but I have to leave first. Could you please help me take over this patient for the time being? Iâll
see if itâs possible for surgery when I come to work tomorrow.â
Sasha notified the doctor on duty before she left because she had an emphysema patient who needed
an operation.
The doctor took the medical record and nodded.
âAlright, Dr. Nancy. However, why would you be in charge of this type of patient? Since youâre in TCM,
you wonât be much help if surgery is needed, right?â
âI was told that the patient is allergic to anesthesia, so Mr. Jackson has arranged for me to administer
his anesthesia during surgery.â
Sasha explained to the doctor while taking off her white coat.
Cases like that happened quite frequently. Since some people were allergic to anesthesia, the hospital
could only come up with a different solution to anesthetize them.
Furthermore, TCMâs acupuncture was undoubtedly the best there is.
Upon leaving the hospital, Sasha got into a cab and went to pick up the children from the preschool.
What am I going to cook tonight?
On the way there, she began brainstorming what to prepare for dinner that night. After all, it wouldnât
only be the three of them having dinner anymore.
However, when she arrived at the preschool and picked up the three little ones, she realized that they
looked rather dejected.
âWhatâs wrong with the three of you? Why do you look so gloomy?â Sasha asked curiously.
While they were finding the right words to say, the quick-witted Matteo spoke up first, âLetâs not get
discouraged yet. Daddy only said he didnât have time. Maybe heâll be free tonight when he gets off
work?â
âThatâs true,â Vivian responded in agreement with Matteo.
After hearing that, Ian was in a better mood. Then, the three children followed their mother home
happily.
âMy darlings, what do you feel like having for dinner?â
âI want to eat fish! Mommyâs delicious and freshly steamed fish!â
âUm⦠I want to eat ribs, pork ribs. Remember to add more sugar, Mommy.â
The four of them then went to the supermarket. The moment they heard Sashaâs question, they started
chattering away happily.
Seeing that, Sasha smiled as she attentively took note of their requests.
However, she noticed that one of the children wasnât talking much, and it was Ian who was born with a
silver spoon.
This little one might not have a clue about all this.
Sasha lowered her head to look at the little guy who was also carrying a small basket. Seeing his
siblings rambling on about what they wanted at the vegetable section, Ian became anxious as he did
not have the slightest clue about food.
Thinking that it was rather adorable, she asked, âLittle Ian, what do you feel like eating? Perhaps Iâll
cook clams with vermicelli for you, is that alright?â
Along with the children, she arrived at the seafood section and pointed toward the clams that were
actively spitting bubbles.
Ianâs big eyes instantly lit up as he replied, âAlright!â
He nodded his head in approval.
After she had chosen a few fresh clams, she brought them to the weighing counter.
Once they were done with their grocery shopping and were ready to leave, Ian suddenly tugged her
arm and asked, âWhat about Daddy?â
âHuh?â Sasha was stunned.
His daddy?
Her heart jolted for a moment as a hint of uneasiness crept up her face. Frankly, she wasnât too keen
on having that man come to her apartment for meals again.
Wasnât it awkward enough last night?
However, Ian was gazing at her eagerly, so they went to pick up a piece of premium steak from the
meat section eventually.
âAlright, we have bought some for Daddy as well. Letâs go home.â
âAlright!â
Ian finally nodded his head cheerfully.
A few hours later, Sasha stared at the plate of steak that had gone cold on the dining table and couldnât
help but feel slightly disappointed.
She had gone through a lot of trouble to fry that piece of steak. But it ended up being a waste of
seasoning, cooking oil, and natural gas.
After Sasha had put away the used plates and cutlery, she picked up the steak and dumped it into the
trash can without hesitation.
Matteo and Ian were stunned.
Even Vivian, who had always been clingy to her mother, pouted her lips and quietly went to watch
cartoons when she felt the latterâs sudden change in mood.
That evening, the atmosphere in the apartment wasnât as joyful as the previous night.
When it was time to go to bed and the lights were turned off in the nursery, Matteo crawled into Ianâs
bed and started complaining, âWhatâs going on? Why didnât Daddy come tonight?â
Ian was at a loss for words.
He couldnât come up with an explanation as well, so he just sulked.
Upon seeing that, Matteo let out a sigh and said, âForget it. We should come up with another plan. I
guess Daddy might really be busy. By the way, I heard people in the preschool talking about a holiday
today.â
âWhat?â
While chatting in the dark, Ian didnât seem to understand what his brother meant.
Suddenly, Matteo smiled wryly next to him and uttered, âI know what to do. We can ask the preschool
to organize some fun activities and invite all the parents to come. Hehe!â
