Cohabitation With My Ex-Husband

Sarah blinked when she heard Steve's question. The expression on his face, and the way he looked at Sarah, somehow left Sarah speechless.

"Pftt… It was just a joke! What's with the expression on your face?" said Steve who finally laughed seeing Sarah who was silent like that.

"How can I work here when I'm one of the best doctors at the hospital I work for? The boss definitely won't let me go that easily," he continued with a smile.

"I told you not to joke like that!" Sarah said annoyed and hit Steve on the shoulder again.

"Besides, if you want to move here. Isn't that so easy? Your father is a professor here and you also help me to continue my residency here. So I believe that you can move easily," replied Sarah, explaining why she suddenly fell silent.

Steve just smiled seeing Sarah's behavior that looked annoyed like that.

"Ahh… cute," he muttered under his breath.

"What?" asked Sarah who heard Steve's voice, but she couldn't hear it clearly.

"Nothing. Let's sit down," Steve said then walked over to the sofa that was there and sat on it. Sarah followed behind him.

"So is this your acquaintance? If this is your patient, it's impossible for you to come consult like this to my father," Steve asked as he took out the contents of the envelope.

"Ah, yes, something like that."

Steve nodded then began to look at the scan results. His face suddenly looked very serious.

"Patient status?" asked Steve who wanted more information.

"Male, he's about sixty..." Sarah paused and then tried to count it again.

"Sixty-two," she continued.

"Ah… so it's old," Steve mumbled, his expression darkening as he heard the patient's age.

"Wait a minute. Is this your father-in-law?" Steve asked suddenly when he finally realized something.

Sarah is an orphan and she is married, so the only old man she's close to is likely to be her father-in-law.

Sarah fell silent when she heard the question, she had forgotten that Steve knew her very well because the two of them had been friends since college and were placed in the same hospital during their clinical clerkship and internship.

In the previous hospital she works at, Sarah was already known to have married Michael, Michael had even met and treated Sarah's friends.

"Ex-father-in-law," Sarah said, correcting Steve.

In this hospital, no one knew that Sarah had been married before because no one had ever asked her about it.

But Steve knew she was married, and it seemed odd that she should still claim Mr Collins as her father-in-law.

Steve's face, which had a serious look, immediately changed when he heard her words. He looked at Sarah in disbelief.

"You are divorced? Since when?" Steve asked in surprise.

Even though it was the first time he had met Sarah's husband, the two of them seemed to get along very well.

He even remembered what Sarah had said that time when their friends were surprised that Sarah had married.

"That… my husband said he wanted to make me his wife immediately because he was afraid that I would be interested in doctors or nurses, so he immediately proposed to me," Sarah said at the time shyly, making her female friends look at her with envious eyes.

So Steve didn't think Sarah and her husband are getting a divorce.

"Oh sorry, I didn't mean to," Steve said immediately apologetically, afraid his question might offend Sarah.

"It's okay. I also didn't think I would be a divorced woman," Sarah answered with a faint smile.

"But even though I'm divorced, I want to still save my ex-father-in-law, do you think the operation can be done?" asked Sarah who immediately changed the topic.

Steve was about to open his mouth, suddenly the door to the room opened and an old man in a doctor's coat entered the room.

"Sarah?" asked Sam who was surprised to see someone else in the room.

"Professor!" replied Sarah who had stood up from her seat

"What are you doing here?" Sam asked confusedly as he walked over to Sarah and Steve. He looked suspiciously at Sarah and Steve.

"There's something I want to talk to the Professor about, and I met Steve outside," Sarah explained.

Sam's gaze then turned to Steve who was holding a paper. Steve then handed the paper to his father.

Sarah then explained once again the patient status to Sam.

"How is it professor, can the patient be operated on?" Sarah asked, holding her breath.

Steve then gave his opinion to his father, and the two seemed to have a brief discussion, Sarah added a bit when she know what they were talking about.

"Thank you professor! Steve!" said Sarah and stood up after listening to their explanation. Her face looks happy. Mr Collins is operable.

"Yeah, actually I'm still annoyed that you didn't pick Neurologi, but I'm happy to help you!" said Sam in a half-joking tone.

It made Sarah smile shyly.

"You can tell the patient to come and do further tests," he continued.

Sarah then nodded, after saying thank you once again, she immediately left the room, leaving the father and son.

"So how is it? Are you really not willing to think about my offer?" asked Sam turning to Steve.

Steve just stood there, as if he was thinking about something.

"Hey! Are you listening to me?" asked Sam irritably.

"Just a minute," Steve replied then suddenly stood up and ran outside.

Sam sighed when he saw his son's attitude.

"That brat! Looks like he still has feelings for Sarah! How can he not melt her heart after all these years? Should I teach him how to melt women too?" thought Sam worried about his son.

"Sarah!"

Sarah turned around when she heard someone calling her name.

"Steve?" Sarah asked raising an eyebrow.

"What's wrong? Did you forget to mention something?" asked Sarah, suddenly feeling anxious.

Steve hastily shook his head, then took a deep breath to calm himself who was suddenly feeling nervous.

"Tonight. How about having dinner together?" Steve asked looking intently at Sarah.

"Eh?" Sarah was suddenly confused, did Steve go after her to say that?

"You know we haven't seen each other in a long time. Three years, huh? There's a lot we can talk about," Steve said hastily looking for an excuse.

"Ah! Is dinner too much? How about a drink together?" Steve suggested.

Sarah fell silent when she heard this. She hadn't seen Steve in a long time, and they had a lot to talk about.

But…

"I'm sorry Steve, I can't," replied Sarah, politely refusing.

She is currently involved with Michael, and she doesn't know if Michael will pick her up again or not.

So she didn't want to risk Steve meeting Michael, especially after she'd just said they were divorced.

"Ah I see," said Steve who could not hide his disappointment.

However, the next second Steve's facial expression immediately changed when he heard what Sarah said.
