hospital’s chaotic atmosphere, Yeager always found a way to visit Hailey He would bring her breakfast
in the morning and act as her chauffeur at night Even during Harley’s demanding overnight shifts, be
patiently awaited her clocking off.
Every time Hailey spolled Yeager waiting for her, she felt a wave of affection. His sweetness was a
rarity that melted her heart. Encouraged by these warm feelings, Hailey started to relax and enjoy
occasional outings with Yeager, grabbing meals or catching a movie

“Why didn’t you come in out of the rain?” She asked
Yeager held out his hand, waiting for Hailey to put her hand in his, then said, “The rain’s not that bad”
Hailey noticed the gloom in Yeager’s eyes, as if he was troubled by something. So, she furrowed her
brow and asked, “What’s up?*
Yeager, standing under his black umbrella, lifted his downcast eyes, looked at Hailey for a moment,
then dropped his umbrella and pulled her into his arms.
Yeager’s chin gently rested on Hailey’s shoulder. She froze for a second, but she didn’t push him away,
instead, she seemed to be trying to accept his embrace,
Holding Hailey, Yeager’s aching heart found some solace, easing the pain and sorrow in his eyes a bit.
“I couldn’t save a young man in surgery tonight… Yeage said, his arm around Hailey tightening around
her waist.
He thought he could save the young man, but in the end, he was powerless
“Sometimes I wonder, why did I become a doctor? To heal people, or to watch them leave this world?”
Hearing this, Hailey turned her head towards Yeager, seeing the look of defeat on his face, she knew
he was upset because he couldn’t save the young man’s life.
After a moment, Hailey mustered up the courage, wrapped her arms around Yeager, her slender, pale
fingers gently stroking his back.
“Dr Yeager, fate calls the shots. Even though doctors have the skills, they can’t guarantee to save
everyone. Don’t beat yourself up over this…”
While she comforted him and patted his back, she added.
“Actually, without doctors, I wouldn’t know who to turn to when I’m sick. It’s because of doctors that so
many patients have hope. So, to me, doctors are always something special..
If she hadn’t been so busy working part–time in high school, she might have hit the books harder and
tried to become a doctor herself.
Hailey’s comforting words eased Yeager’s anxiety a bit. He held onto her hand tightly, unwilling to let
go.

“Hailey, thanks for the pep talk.”
Hailey heard the lift in his voice, knew he was feeling a bit better, so she tried to break away from him.
“Let’s head back…”
She didn’t push him away directly, she just made an excuse to leave. However, Yeager Alis, hooked on
her embrace, didn’t want to let go.
“If you don’t mind, can I hold you a bit longer?”
He, her boyfriend, had to ask for her permission to hug her. That’s messed up.
Hailey didn’t reject him, she just let him hold her. But her mind wasn’t on him, her eyes were scanning
the surroundings.
Across the street, she spotted a Rolls Royce parked.
A man in a black suit was leaning against the car door in the rain.
He was coldly staring at them, the embracing couple.
Cars were whizzing by on the road, a blur in Hailey’s vision.
When the traffic cleared, the man at the car door, now soaking wet, got in the car.
A big truck blocked Hailey’s view, when it passed, the Rolls–Royce was gone.
