For the Mistress, the Husband Left His Son on the Operating Table
by Chen Mozhao
About This Novel
My son had just finished anesthesia, but my husband, the chief surgeon, left the operating room to accompany his elementary school girl. "Jiaqi fell down, I have to go take a look." He spoke urgently and took off his sterile gown. "No! My son is under general anesthesia! It would be dangerous to stop the operation now!" I grabbed his arm, my voice trembling. He didn't even look at me and threw my hand away irritably. "I can do this kind of minor surgery with my eyes closed. How can something happen so easily? Making a fuss out of a molehill is like a loving mother who always fails!" The lights in the operating room have been on for ten hours, but my husband hasn't come back yet. The anesthetist came out with a look of exhaustion and despair. "The anesthesia lasted too long, and the child's heart failed... And there was no way he could be saved." I rushed in and held my son's body. My heart seemed to stop. I don't know how long it took. I picked up the phone numbly, found the message, and replied. "I promise you, I will go."
