“Camille, I’ll love you forever!” Jameson let out a low, agonized growl. Just as he was about to climax, his phone suddenly began to buzz. He ignored it, of course. Now was hardly the time. However, his phone lit up again. The moment he saw the text on the screen, his body froze. Camille heard him answer the call. “Hello?” In the deep silence of the night, the voice on the phone cut through the stillness, clear and unmistakable. “Jameson, did you know that Sylvia—” Jameson switched languages and cut in with a sharp command, “Keep it down. It's not a good time.” The other person switched languages too, though he was still loud. “The hospital results came in. Sylvia is in the final stages of cancer. She only has a month left! Her last wish is to become your wife. Can you grant her that before she passes?” Jameson’s expression changed immediately. “What?! Wait for me!” He ended the call and turned to Camille. “Camille, something urgent came up. I need to step out for a bit. Be good and stay home. I’ll be back after you’ve had some sleep.” Before she could respond, he rose to wash up, changed his clothes, and left without looking back. Moments later, her phone buzzed. Sylvia: [Camille, you lost. I told you—Jameson has always been mine.] Right above it was a message from three days ago: [If I tell him I have cancer, do you think Jameson will leave you and come to me? I bet he will.] Camille’s gaze slowly shifted from her phone screen to the open bedroom door. What Jameson did not know was that she had already picked up a new language. She understood every word of that call. After a long moment, a faint, bitter smile appeared on her face. “Yeah, I lost...”

My answer won’t change, no matter whether we're in front of each other or not.”Jameson was not ready to give up. “Then I’ll wait until you come back. I’ll pursue you all over again. This time, I’ll do it right. I’ll make sure all of South City… The whole country—no, the entire world knows how much I love you. I just—”Camille interrupted calmly, “I’m sorry, Jameson. But I’ve found so many meaningful things in life now. I’m not looking for a relationship anymore. There’s no reason for us to stay in touch.”With that, she hung up. She did not hear him calling her name again and again on the other end.Jameson stared at his phone as the call ended, the beeping tone cutting through the silence. He sat still for a long time before finally clutching his chest and letting out a guttural cry of pain. It was too much. He did not want to process it. He could not.He stormed out of the house and drov
Even though it was Ryan who had arranged the study trip abroad, he had not set any fixed schedule or itinerary.When Ryan received an urgent call from home and had to return to the country, Camille chose to stay behind. He did not stop her. In fact, he fully supported the decision.He had always believed that seeing more patients would help a doctor sharpen their skills.Hence, Camille stayed overseas with two other highly gifted doctors. Together, they continued traveling, treating patients, and taking in the vast beauty of the world.After witnessing the grandeur of nature and the fragility and preciousness of human life, their outlooks grew calmer and more grounded.At first, when Camille had just gone abroad, she often found herself having to force out smiles, and they always turned out hideous. She was mostly quiet.However, her natural smile slowly returned over time.She began to take pleasure in watching flowers bloom and birds fly. She admired the mountains and rivers.
Jameson had not slept or eaten in over a day. He had been working non-stop until the moment before his flight.However, when he arrived at the hospital where Camille was supposed to be, after all the trouble he went through, she was already gone. It hit him like a bolt of lightning, and he shook his head violently. “No way. Camille isn’t dead. She’s not!”He grabbed the person in front of him with alarming strength. “Where did she go?”The man replied, “Dr. Fields was only temporarily here to assist. She’s not with Doctors Without Borders. She left with her mentor, Dr. Zach. They went to practice medicine elsewhere.”He exhaled in relief, but the news only made him more anxious. “Do you know where they went?”The man did not know.Still, it was good as long as she was alive and as long as nothing bad had happened to her. Jameson was not afraid of anything else. For a moment there, when he thought something had happened to her and she might be dead, he truly understood what desp
After spending a huge sum of money and countless hurdles, Jameson finally managed to get his hands on a photo of Camille. In the photo, she was wearing a white coat in a makeshift hospital. Her long hair was cut into a neat shoulder-length style. She looked clean and tidy, and her eyes were clear.He gazed greedily at the face he had been longing for day and night. Ever since she left, he had been dreaming of her every night. However, each time, he would relive the day at the cemetery when Sylvia dropped the urn that contained the ashes of Camille's grandmother and he had chosen to stand by her.Her eyes...Her eyes, again and again, jolted Jameson awake.In those eyes, he clearly saw that she had completely lost faith in him.Each time he woke from the nightmare, his heart felt like it was being torn apart. He regretted it deeply. Why had he not noticed it back then? If he had chosen to stand by her side instead, if he had stayed and helped her collect her grandmother’s remai
Jameson knew that if he corrected all his mistakes now, if he genuinely made up for how badly he had hurt Camille, and if he showed her his sincerity, there was still a chance Camille might come back to him. However, once Sylvia gave birth, that chance would be gone forever.He looked Margaret in the eye and said firmly, “I don’t want the child Sylvia is carrying. I’m still young. If I want a kid, I can have one anytime.”Yet Margaret was not so easily convinced. “You just want to get Camille back, don’t you? You only want a child if it’s with her. But what if that’s not possible? What if she never takes you back? Then what? Will you leave the Hart family with no heir?”That possibility that Camille might never forgive him hit Jameson hard, and his face twisted in pain.After a long silence, he finally said, “I’ll bring her back. I’ll marry her, and we’ll have a child together.”Margaret pressed further, sharp as ever, “And if she won’t come back? What if you do find her and she
On the other hand, Camille had followed Ryan and joined the Doctors Without Borders, heading straight into a war-torn country.There, violence raged on, and wounded civilians were everywhere.The local hospital was severely under-equipped. There was barely any medicine, and the staff were stretched thin.Their team had barely arrived when a series of car accidents triggered by nearby bombings sent a flood of emergency patients to the hospital. There were not enough ambulances. The locals carried the injured on stretchers, desperately trying to get them to help.Without a second to think, Camille jumped right in with the team to help.She did surgery after surgery, saving patient after patient. By the time she stumbled out of the operating room, more than a dozen hours had passed.Her legs were shaking, and her arms ached so badly it was hard to lift them. Even eating was painful.She was not used to the local food, but she was so hungry she did not care. All she could think abou
