The Great Doctor Girl

On April 4rd, at dawn, I was busy in the medical clinic as usual. Huang Junze's shadow flashed through my mind from time to time, but I forced myself not to be distracted and tried to devote all my energy to the task at hand.

At that moment, the father of the five-month-old child arrived. His expression was much more relaxed than before, his relaxed brow and slightly raised lips revealing joy. I concluded that the child's condition must be improving.

"Hello, how is your child?" I checked the time and asked with concern. It had been several days since I last saw the child.

The child's father responded to me hurriedly: "Come, bring it here quickly."

Only then did his wife carefully carry the child in from the door.

"Doctor Luo, the child took the medicine you prescribed, and we also rubbed his body according to the method you said. After taking the medicine on the first day, the convulsions decreased." The child's father's voice was full of excitement and gratitude.

“The next day it was down to one,” he continued, a pleased smile on his face.

"I've finished taking the medicine these few days and the convulsions have stopped at all. You're amazing." The child's father said, dancing with joy.

"We want to take the child home to recuperate now. Do you think it's okay, Dr. Luo?" He looked at me with pleading eyes, full of anticipation.

I carefully checked the child's body again and asked about his daily performance: "His breathing is normal, but he likes to sleep and doesn't eat much."

After thinking for a moment, I prescribed Shenling Baizhu Powder for them to recuperate and advised: "Be sure to pay attention to not frighten the child. Take good care of him and he should be fine."

"You can go home now." When I said this, the couple were so happy that they couldn't express it in words, and left the clinic with many thanks.

Watching them leave, I felt an indescribable sense of accomplishment. Every time I successfully healed a patient, every time I saw a smile return to their face, I felt deeply the meaning of my work. In this moment, I felt in control of the situation and was able to bring happiness to others.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but straighten my back slightly and tell myself that no matter how many storms there are in life, I must stick to the original intention of this profession and use my medical skills to warm more people.

The days passed one after another, I suffered in waiting and found comfort in being busy.

On April 4rd, the sun lazily streamed down the street, but it couldn't dispel the gloom within me. I trudged to pick up the Chinese herbal medicine I'd ordered, my heart still pounding on the patients awaiting treatment at the clinic.

As I passed by a coffee shop on Hanfeng Road, I caught a glimpse of them, and instantly felt as if I had fallen into an icy cave. Through the bright floor-to-ceiling windows, the figures of Huang Junze and Su Jingyan, sitting opposite each other, caught my eye.

My breathing suddenly stopped, my feet felt like they were nailed to the ground, and my eyes involuntarily fixed on them.

The familiar tenderness and concern in Huang Junze's eyes were now completely focused on another woman, while Su Jingyan's eyes were filled with tears, and she looked pitiful.

Inside the store, Su Jingyan sobbed softly, her voice trembling: "Junze, over the years, I have never forgotten you for a moment. Leaving you is the stupidest and most regrettable decision I have ever made in my life."

She reached out and held Huang Junze's hand, refusing to let go, as if it was the last straw in her life.

Huang Junze's hand moved slightly, as if he wanted to pull it back but he held back. His voice was a little helpless: "Jingyan, the past is in the past, don't mention it again."

Su Jingyan bit her lip and smiled sadly: "I have always been thinking, if I hadn't left, how happy we would be now. Maybe we would have a warm home and lovely children. Junze, do you really not want to go back to the past at all?"

Her eyes were full of anticipation and desire, as if to melt Huang Junze's heart.

Huang Junze felt mixed emotions. He thought about the good times in the past and felt a little touched, but he couldn't show it.

There was a flash of pain and struggle in his eyes: "Jingyan, many things can't be undone."

"I now……"

"No, Junze, you still have me in your heart, right?" Su Jingyan interrupted him anxiously, with unquestionable certainty in her tone.

Huang Junze was silent for a moment and said, "You did have a place in my heart. Who told you to leave me without saying a word?" There was a hint of resentment and pain in his voice.

"We can start over."

Su Jingyan said shamelessly, her eyes full of greed and possessiveness.

"I believe that you have always loved me, and I have always been the one in your heart."

Su Jingyan continued to pester him, completely ignoring Huang Junze's embarrassment.

"What happened now? Is it because of that Luo Shu? She was just taking advantage of the situation!" Su Jingyan's voice rose a few degrees, with a bit of jealousy and anger.

"Don't say that about Luo Shu, she..." Huang Junze frowned, wanting to explain but didn't know where to start.

"Humph, I think you've been bewitched by her! Junze, have you forgotten the vows we made?"

As Su Jingyan spoke, tears began to well up in her eyes again, trying to impress Huang Junze with her tears.

Huang Junze looked conflicted: "Jingyan, that's all in the past."

Only Huang Junze himself knows the pain he has suffered over the years. The betrayal and hurt in the past are like a deep scar, which is now ruthlessly revealed by Su Jingyan.

Hearing this, my heart felt like it was hit by a heavy hammer.

But I knew my situation clearly. I had married Huang Junze to save my life; his love wasn't essential to me. So I suppressed the bitterness in my heart and tried not to lose my composure.

At this moment, Su Jingyan's phone suddenly rang. She glanced at the caller ID, her face turned pale in an instant, and she stood up hurriedly: "Jun Ze, I have something urgent to do, I have to leave first."

After saying that, she hurried away, leaving Huang Junze looking at her back with a puzzled look on his face.

I stood outside the window, my body trembling slightly. After trying to calm myself down, I turned and walked towards the infirmary.

When I returned to the clinic, I couldn't calm down for a long time. The scene of them together kept appearing involuntarily in my mind, so much so that I almost got the dosage wrong when prescribing medicine for the patient.

Fortunately, I discovered it in time and avoided the mistake.

When I got home in the evening, I sat at my desk, opened my diary and wrote:

“On April 4, there are still 23 days left before the divorce deadline. Can I still become his bride as I wish?

Today, when I saw Huang Junze and her looking at each other affectionately and expressing their love to each other, my heart felt sad.

But I have to be clear-headed. My marriage with Huang Junze is special. I cannot force his feelings.

I just hope I can survive, I don't dare to ask for anything else."

On April 4, the first ray of sunlight in the early morning shone into the room, and I still arrived at the medical clinic early.

Despite looking tired, he still faced every patient with a smile.

Suddenly, I remembered that today was the day we had agreed to finalize the details of the wedding venue. However, everything that happened during this period of time made me forget such an important matter.

While I was busy, Huang Junze came.

My heart trembled slightly, but quickly calmed down.

Huang Junze looked at me with a guilty look in his eyes: "Luo Shu, you forgot we had an appointment today."

I sighed softly: "Oh, sorry, I was busy and forgot."

"I have other patients here, can you just go by yourself?" I said, still feeling a little awkward.

"What do you mean?"

Huang Junze looked impatient. He had been feeling upset these past few days.

"Yesterday, I saw you with a woman."

I decided to be honest and no longer hide the doubts in my heart.

"We are talking about work." He replied to me with extreme impatience, frowning.

He is hiding something.

"Really? Then why have you been distancing yourself from me lately?"

I couldn't help but ask, with a hint of grievance in my voice.

Huang Junze said anxiously: "I'm sorry, Luoshu, I didn't let you know because I was afraid it would affect you. Jingyan just came back and she's not in a good condition. I just..."

I interrupted him: "I understand, she will always have a place in your heart."

Huang Junze looked helpless: "Luo Shu, you know I won't give my true heart easily, but I'm a little confused now."

I smiled bitterly: "Huang Junze, I don't blame you, it's just that I don't know what to do in this situation."

Huang Junze was silent for a moment: "Luo Shu, give me some time, I will take care of it."

I nodded: "Okay, I hope everything can have a proper outcome."

In the end, I still went with him to confirm the wedding venue, but this should have been the happiest thing, but because of the complicated emotional entanglement, it lacked the joy it should have been.

The days passed in such a dilemma. I still devoted all my energy to the clinic, while Huang Junze was torn between me and Su Jingyan, not knowing what to do.
