---- without batting an eye. "It's a call from a patient." I nodded. He turned and walked into the study. Even though he spoke in a low voice, I still heard Winnie say she missed him. After comforting Winnie, Quinton walked out and lied to me again. "Honey, something urgent came up at home. I need to fly back for a bit." "Okay," I said as I closed my magazine. Upon hearing this, he kissed my forehead almost reverently. "My wife is so understanding," he remarked before leaving. After he left, I waited until the housekeeper fell asleep and sneaked into the study. I searched for a long time before finally finding that box in a hidden cabinet. It was a locked box that he had once opened ina drunken haze. His eyes were reddened with emotion at the time. Inside were countless photos of him and Winnie. ---- One of them, slightly faded at the edges and even laminated, was a childhood picture of them with an orange cat. Quinton had never taken a photo with me, except for our wedding picture. Previously, when I asked him to take maternity photos with meas a keepsake, he refused and said he didn't like taking pictures. It turned out he just didn't like taking pictures with me. My nose stung, but my eyes remained dry-no tears came out. At the very bottom of the box, there was an envelope. I held my breath and pulled it out. Inside was a medical report confirming necrospermia. However, the identity details were all concealed. Regardless, my intuition told me that this was definitely related to the baby in my womb. After taking photos of both documents, I carefully put the box back. ---- Quinton was gone for half a month. During that time, I tried every possible way to recover my memories.
