Chapter 28 Ivan the Little Boy

"If you are an eagle, you should soar into the sky. Only when you flap your wings can you see the colorful rainbow." Andrei said to Ekaterina, the female doctor beside him, "My leg has healed and I can be discharged from the hospital."

In the hospital office, Ekaterina, wearing a mask, showed no expression. She held a pen in her hand and filled in her name on the discharge record: "Comrade Andrei, your leg injury has recovered, but your brain was also hit when you were sent to the hospital. You need to pay attention to your condition at all times. If you feel dizzy or nauseous, please come to the hospital immediately."

After that, Ekaterina handed Andrei the discharge certificate. In just one week, this man was going to leave the hospital. This made Ekaterina feel a little disappointed.

Even with the discharge certificate, Andre did not leave.

Feeling the strong heartbeat of the man beside her, Ekaterina looked up and said, "Anything else, Captain? You can take this certificate to the dean's office for stamping."

"There is one more personal matter." Andrei said to Ekaterina, "During the time I was in the hospital, thanks to the care of a medical staff, my injuries healed so quickly. In particular, I was able to eat delicious food made by her every day. So, before I leave, I want to thank her for her care and invite her out for a meal. Now, can I ask what time she gets off work?"

Hearing Andrei's words, Ekaterina said calmly: "It is our doctors' duty to save the dying and the wounded and take care of the patients. I thank you for your kindness. As for the meal, forget it."

"No." Andre said, "Once I return to the army, I don't know when I will have time to come here again. There are some things I have always wanted to say to this medical staff. I must treat her to this meal."

Andre has expressed his feelings very clearly. As a man, he should be proactive in such matters. The worst that can happen is being rejected. So what!

"Mom, mom, why are you still at work? It's time to get off work!" Just then, a little kid came running in from outside, wearing a very popular military cap from the October Revolution, suspenders and a T-shirt. His hair was golden, the same color as Ekaterina's.

Andrei had known that Ekaterina was on the early shift today and should be off work at 11 o'clock in the morning, so he came to Ekaterina at this time to sign the discharge procedures and take her to dinner.

But now, this little boy suddenly ran out from somewhere. He looked about three years old and was full of life. Andre's heart tightened at once. My goodness, who is this little brat calling mother?

"Ivan, why did you run out?" Ekaterina said to the little boy.

"Mom, I'm hungry, I want to eat!" Ivan covered his stomach and said to Ekaterina.

Mother? Ekaterina, the 19-year-old intern, is now a mother of a three-year-old child? Although Andre knew that childbearing was encouraged in the Soviet Union and girls could get married and have babies at the age of 16, he was still so surprised that he was speechless, and at the same time, he felt a sense of loss in his heart.

That's not right. I asked other nurses. Ekaterina is unmarried. How could she have a three-year-old child? Did she get married and divorced? Or was she pregnant before marriage? Or did those nurses see that I was interested in Ekaterina and deliberately said that she was unmarried to make fun of me?

In just this short second, many thoughts popped up in Andre's mind, but he didn't know which one was correct.

Looking at the tall and handsome Air Force Captain Andrei in front of her, the expression on his face was uncertain and embarrassed after seeing little Ivan. Ekaterina's eyebrows were smiling. She tried her best to suppress her emotions and not let herself laugh. She said lightly: "Ivan, this uncle just said that he wants to treat us to a meal. Let's go with him, okay?"

"Okay, okay." Little Ivan immediately clapped his hands and turned to Andrei.

Ekaterina took off her mask and said to Andrei, "Captain Andrei, is this okay?"

Andre was used to seeing the female doctor wearing a mask. Now that she took off her mask and looked at her rosy lips and tall, sexy nose, he felt a thrill. Why didn't he get to know the female doctor earlier?

"Of course, it's my honor," said Andre.

"Then wait a minute, I'm going to change my clothes." Ekaterina said, turned and walked to the inner room of the office, leaving Andrei with Ivan.

"Ivan, how old are you?" Andrei asked the little boy.

"At the age of three, I'm already an adult." Ivan said, raising his fist to show Andrei the muscles on his arm.

"Ivan, where is your father?" Andrei continued to ask. This question was quite crucial, as it determined the content of the conversation when Andrei took Ekaterina and Ivan out for dinner.

However, with this brat around, even if Ekaterina is divorced, would he have the nerve to confess his feelings in front of this brat? Andre was extremely conflicted.

"I'm out, let's go." Before Ivan could answer, Ekaterina came out.

In fact, changing clothes is very simple. Just take off the white coat outside and then put on other clothes. The summer in the Far East is also very hot, and there is only underwear under the white coat.

Andre's eyes lit up. The angel in white turned into a noble goddess.

The blue and white plaid long skirt showed the exquisite curves of Ekaterina's body, which was much more beautiful than the white coat, and it blended perfectly with her golden long hair, white and delicate arms, white fingers, and slender and tall legs...

Looking at Andrei's infatuated expression, Ekaterina smiled and said, "Captain Andrei, where are we going to eat?"

"You choose." Andre quickly came to his senses. No, what happened just now? It was so embarrassing.

"Let's go to the cafeteria of the Pacific University of Economics. It's very close to here, and the food there is relatively cheap and tastes good, especially the meat patties and kimchi soup." Ekaterina said.

All universities in the Soviet Union were free, and students were given meal tickets every month to eat in the cafeteria. At the same time, these cafeterias could also be sold to the public. This university was very close to Vladivostok Third Hospital, and the doctors here often went there to eat.

"No, I want to eat Japanese food! Mom, there's a new Japanese restaurant on Svetlana Street, I want to go eat there!"
