It's funny but fans actually left (threatening) words on Steven weibo that they would be so mad at Uncle Choi and 7 Days scriptwriters if they made Calvin have terminal cancer, hence his mistreatment of Christie. haha! I'll be very let down too if that happens. So hackneyed! Let's hope for a twist as to why Calvin suddenly mistreats Christie. Something to do with his carrying a big green gym bag and trying to escape via a suspended iron beam hoisted on a high rise crane, with Ah Lung at his tail.
As to Christie narration of her pregnancy false alarm, it would have been so much more effective if the camera immediately panned on Calvin to catch his instantaneous reaction instead of a flash back insertion.before panning Calvin's face. Both Steven and Sonija were brilliant in this scene. Christie, her face full of hurt and close to emotional collapse, still manages to tenuously holding back her tears and emotions, like the strong woman she has become; Calvin, stunned by her unexpected news is momentarily awash in mixed feelings but just as quickly suppresses those feelings, as he exerts his impeccable self-control. Bravo to both for superb performances!

Awash in mixed feelings - sinking heart?

donning the mask of his trademark lopsided smirk
I love that twist to Christie's slap on Calvin's face. This scene truly depresses me.
