" How could we possibly start over ?
There were several lives standing between Theodore and me , all of them people I cared about most in this life . I shook off his hand and told him not to come looking for me again . But Theodore still kept appearing in my life frequently . Sometimes he would send flowers , sometimes expensive jewelry . I threw all of them into the trash . Until he seriously disrupted my life , and with no other choice , I applied to become a doctor with Médecins Sans Frontières . This had always been my dream , but unfortunately , my mom's serious illness had disrupted my plans .

I was really worried about you . " It took me so much effort to find you . Please don't drive me away , okay ? I swear , I won't bother you again . " I couldn't be bothered to pay him any attention . Just then , a new patient was brought in , and I immediately got up and went to the operating table . For the next few days .
I was working nonstop , so busy that I barely had time to take a sip of water . Theodore , just as he had promised , did not come to bother me again . Instead , he was constantly moving around the camp , doing whatever he could to help . A month later , during a surgery , I was surprised to find that my assistant had been replaced by Theodore . Noticing my gaze . Theodore immediately explained . " Your assistant is sick . I've been helping out here these past few days . Don't worry . I can handle it . " And I won't say anything unrelated to the surgery to distract you . " In the end .

" I only hope you can forgive him , so that he can rest in peace . " Forgive him ? I couldn't bring myself to do that .
