5 p.m. in hospital.
"Doctor Cheng, and all the pretty ladies, I'm off first." Wendy, the young nurse, smiled and waved goodbye to the group before turning around and bouncing in the direction of the elevator.
"Look at her face; she can not wait to get off work. She's still three minutes away."
"Can you not be anxious to have such a nice boyfriend downstairs at the right time?"
"A girl who is nourished by love is happy!"
The medical staff in the office talk and laugh as they turn in their shifts, and Cheng Lydia smiles as she writes the last line of her medical log and closes the book.
Girls who are nourished by love are indeed the happiest.
"Lydia, are you coming to dinner with us and then to Karaoke to sing?" Doctor Song asked casually.
In fact, everyone knows that Cheng Lydia doesn't have the time because she either has to go to another section department to take care of her vegetative mother or go home to her husband after work every day.
Sure enough, Cheng Lydia shook her head with a smile and said, "You guys have fun."
"Huh? Isn't that Lydia's BMW?" Ann, standing next to the windowsill, suddenly called out, and her co-workers swarmed over, sticking their necks out and grinning, "Really yeah, Lydias family's car."
"Ugh, another happy woman who been nourished away by love." Doctor Song sighed with an ambiguous face.
Cheng Lydia looked down at the window in surprise and saw her husband Lim Toby's car parked downstairs, a sweet smile tinting her pretty face. She quickly folds back into her seat and gathers her things, leaving the office to the admiring glances of her colleagues.
Lim Toby rarely picked her up from work at the hospital, so she was almost in disbelief when she just heard from her colleagues that Lim Tobys BMW was downstairs.
Lim Tobys BMW was parked in front of the inpatient building, and Cheng Lydia cheerfully went up and pulled open the passenger door and got in, looking sideways at Lim Toby, "Why are you free to pick me up from work today?"
"It's our third wedding anniversary, so I'm treating you to seafood." Lim Toby quirked his head and glanced at her, a slightly stiff smile on his handsome face.
Third wedding anniversary, yeah heh, shed forgotten about it if he didn't tell her.
She didn't think he would remember their anniversary when he was always indifferent to himself. Was that a good start?
Cheng Lydia was suddenly confident about the days ahead.
The car drove away from the downtown area in the direction of Big Bay, and just as Cheng Lydia imagined a bright future, the car turned right less than a kilometer from Big Bay and drove down another side road.
She surveyed her surroundings and was about to ask a question when Lim Toby slammed on the brakes and braked the car to a stop in front of a dilapidated factory building, unbuckled his seat belt, and got out.
Cheng Lydia hesitated and didn't follow along down the line.
The place was so run-down and sparsely populated that just looking at it can be unsettling.
And just then, a woman's terrified scream came from above her head, "Toby, you have to come to help me, help me ...... I'm so scared ......."
Cheng Lydia looked up at the sound of the voice and saw a man and a woman standing in front of a crumbling wall on the second floor and the woman was beautiful and slender.
The man, tall and thin with a hostile face, was currently circling the woman's neck with one arm and holding a sharp fruit knife in one hand. The blade was pressed against the woman's slender neck and looked like it could be dangerous at any moment.
"Toby ......." The woman was crying and trembling with makeup on her face, making it painful to watch.
Cheng Lydia had seen this Feng Ann woman before, and more than once, back when she was first married, and Lim Toby was openly seen with her, his real wife.
In those three years, Feng Ann never withdrew from Lim Toby's life.
She just didn't understand what was going on today. Has her mistress been kidnapped? Her husband brought her here to plead with the kidnappers?
What could she, a weak woman, do to help?
Lim Toby spoke up, "As I said, Ann is pregnant, and you better not touch her."
Pregnant with ......!
Lydia's mind went boom and went blank.
Feng Ann was pregnant with her husband's child?
"I also said that if you want her safe, either take five million now or bring your wife over in an exchange." The man upstairs threw out violently.
Lydias brain was still in a cloud when the car door at her side was suddenly opened, followed by her body being ripped out of the car; Lim Toby took her in the crook of his arm, his mouth between her ears, his words coming out strong and cold, "Ann is pregnant, and that's something you cant do. If you still want to continue to be The Lim Family's young grandmother and get a penny from me, then get up from here and replace Ann immediately."
Lim Toby's arm waved and pointed to an equally dilapidated staircase.
Lydia stared at him in awe, clearly unable to believe what she had just heard.
This man named Lim Toby, her husband, since he told her to go and replace the mistress upstairs?
Her heart, instantly, chilled through.
Tears instantly curdled her eyes.
She knew that Lim Toby didn't love her, was even bored with her, but she was his real wife, wasn't she? How could he be so heartless?
"Go on!" His eager urging rang in his ears.
How worried is he about his woman?
