321 I'm Sorry (5)

"Yes." It seemed like there was an urgent situation in the operating room. The nurse handed the files to Lu Jinnian. again With some urgency in her voice,she said, "Mister, could you please quickly sign it? They're waiting to proceed with the operation."

Lu Jinnian still didn't make a sound, though his face looked calm. He hesitated for only a second before taking the file from the nurse. He saw two words, "miscarriage operation", there, on the consent forms. His heart suddenly shrank.

The woman he loved was pregnant with his child. Though it was meant to be a joyous occasion, the moment he found out he was going to become a father, he also knew he'd lost the child.

Lu Jinnian tried his best to compose himself, as he took the pen from the file. His fingers shivered when he took off the lid and lowered the pen to where the nurse had pointed. Yet, he didn't sign it.
