Cohabitation With My Ex-Husband

Michael was trying hard to keep his expression normal even though he was already very excited by this time, couldn't wait to tell Sarah what he had been thinking about.

Michael's daydream immediately stopped when suddenly his cellphone, which was connected to his car's bluetooth, rang, there was an incoming call.

Only a few people knew his new number because he had been in an accident before, so it made Michael wonder who was calling him.

[Mom's Calling…]

Michael was silent seeing that, without realizing he turned to Sarah. It had been twice since he'd seen his mother and Sarah fight, and it didn't seem like they were on very good terms.

"You can pick it up," Sarah replied with a smile as her eyes met Michael's.

Michael nodded, then immediately pressed the green button to receive a call from his mother.

"Michael!"

Mrs. Collins immediately rang through the car speakers, but this time the voice didn't sound as friendly as it used to be. It sounded panicked.

"Your dad… Michael… Ahh… I'm going crazy!" said Mrs. Collins panicked, even her tone sounded sad.

"Mom, calm down, take a deep breath and explain calmly," Michael said, trying to sound calm.

However, Mrs. Collins continued to babble incoherently in a panicked voice before finally hanging up the call. Michael and Sarah just stared at each other, their faces both confused.

"Babe…" Sarah called softly, trying to comfort Michael. But Michael's hands gripped the steering wheel tightly and increased the speed of the car.

In just a few minutes, they had arrived at the hospital where Sarah worked.

"Wifey… Ahh… sorry, are you alright?" Michael asked when he saw Sarah clutching the grab handle car with her eyes closed, her expression terrified.

"Ah, yes, I'm fine." Sarah opened her eyes and breathed a sigh of relief when she realized she was still alive, she then turned to Michael in annoyance.

"Are you crazy? Driving like that?! Have you forgotten you've been in a traffic accident before?" Sarah snapped. She really didn't expect Michael to drive like that.

Michael was silent when he heard this. He admits that he was wrong.

Sarah took a deep breath to calm herself down, she seemed too emotional earlier. Sarah then patted Michael's arm.

"I know you're worried about your father, but I'm sure everything will be fine. Remember, your safety comes first," Sarah said softly.

"I don't want you to have another accident like that time. You have no idea how scared I was when I saw you on my operating table. So… be careful, okay?" Sarah continued.

Actually Sarah did not want to take advantage of this opportunity because there might be something wrong with Mr. Collins. However, she has to make Michael crazy about her, right?

So at times like this, Sarah tries to act like her old self, the woman who loved Michael.

Michael took a breath, then let it out, he did this three times to calm himself, then looked at Sarah.

"Thanks, Wifey," Michael replied with a smile. As usual Sarah was always able to calm him down.

"Then I'll go first, please send me a message about what happened, okay?" said Sarah and immediately got out of Michael's car.

Sarah actually wanted to go with Michael, she was curious what was going on. Is Mr. Collins showing symptoms of his illness again?

However, she had surgery scheduled this morning. Although she was a little worried about Mr. Collins, she can't just leave her patient.

"I need to focus," Sarah mumbled and then sighed. Right now her patient needed her so she shouldn't think about this.

"Mom! What happened?" shouted Michael who immediately went into his parents' house and looked for his mother.

It didn't take him long to find his mother sitting on the sofa in the living room on the first floor.

"Where's dad?" asked Michael once more when his mother was silent. Michael's gaze then turned to Mrs. Gareth who just came from the direction of the kitchen with a cup of glass.

"Mr. Collins is away," said Mrs. Gareth slowly.

Michael's body stiffened when he heard that. Dad is away? Does that mean…

"Ohh… Michael! your father! I'm really pissed off!" said Mrs. Collins with an annoyed expression, making Michael bewildered.

"What do you mean, mom? Please explain to me! What happened to dad? Dad is away? Where did he go?" Michael asked confusedly.

If it was as he thought, his mother couldn't possibly look this upset.

"Your father decided to go on vacation!" Mrs. Collins was annoyed.

Michael blinked his eyes when he heard that. What did his mother say? Father went on vacation?

"Then what's wrong with that? Did mom call me because of that?" Michael asked confusedly. His mother's voice sounded panicked earlier, making him think something bad had happened to his father.

However, his father just went on vacation?

Mrs. Collins immediately hit Michael's arm when he heard that.

"Did you forget that your father was sick? He even just wants to go alone and not take me!" said Mrs. Collins in a sulky tone.

Michael could only open his mouth wide when he heard that. Did her mother call him like that just because of this?

Really!

However, after Michael thought about it again, wasn't it a little strange that his father decided to go on vacation?

"Ah no, maybe dad just wants to enjoy his time because he has been working for a long time," Michael thought trying to understand that.

***

As soon as Sarah came out of the operating room, a pair of lovers immediately approached her.

"Doctor! How is my son?!"

"Did the operation go smoothly?"

"Yes, the operation went smoothly. Right now we are just waiting for the patient to awake," answered Sarah with a professional smile.

The lovers immediately breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that, then repeatedly thanked her.

Sarah just smiled once more then immediately excused herself. Sarah's mood has always improved when she had a successful operation and the patient's family thanked her.

It always feels good.

"Doctor Sarah!"

Sarah immediately woke up from her daydream when suddenly a nurse was running towards her. Sarah could only sigh, it seemed today was another busy day.

"What is it?" asked Sarah, walking over to the nurse.

"There is a man who is looking for you," said the nurse then took a breath and walked back together with Sarah..

"A man?" Sarah asked confusedly. Rarely does anyone look for it.

"Yes! Old man!"

Sarah just rounded her mouth, as if she already knew who had come looking for her.

"But he suddenly fainted!"
