Our Decade of Love Ended in Snow Chapter 11
The three years of my fellowship passed in the blink of an eye, fleeting as a dream.Spring arrived late in Nivora. Even though it was already April, the wind still carried a sharp, biting chill.As I stepped out of the operating room, my phone buzzed with a new notification."Dr. Harvey, congratulations on winning this year's Nivora Young Medical Scholar Award! The ceremony is scheduled for tomorrow afternoon."I stared at the screen for three seconds before slipping the phone back into my pocket. A genuine smile finally graced my lips.A sudden gust of wind swept through the corridor window, catching the hem of my white lab coat.As I smoothed it down, my mind flashed back to a summer afternoon many years ago.The breeze back then had felt just as warm. Except the person who shared it with me hadn't crossed my mind in a very long time.The weather on the day of the ceremony was perfect.Right before I was scheduled to go onstage, a friend from Cormora shared some news with m

Needless to say, busyness proved to be the perfect medicine. Caught in a whirlwind of demanding hospital shifts and rigorous coursework, I simply had no time to dwell on my heartbreak.Occasionally, on my way to patient rounds, I would see couples leaning on each other in the hallways. A dull ache would flare up deep within my chest.But the very next second, a meeting notification would flash on my screen, and I'd hurry off to wherever I was needed next.I began to get used to this exhausting yet fulfilling lifestyle.Through the endless process of treating patients and saving lives, I discovered something far more grounding than romance.I knew some wounds could only heal on their own.And conveniently enough, I was a doctor. My profession had taught me exactly how to debride a wound.Now, I would use that same clinical detachment to excise the rotting past.The days blurred past in a flurry of work.My courses were progressing smoothly, but this hard-earned peace didn't las

Kate stood in the snow for a long time before finally sinking onto a bench. Slowly, she buried her face in her hands.How had everything fallen apart like this?She still remembered the summer right after graduation.The AC in our tiny rented apartment had broken down, and the electric fan creaked and groaned all through the night. I had held her close, both of us drenched in sweat.With my eyes closed, I had suddenly spoken up. "Kate.""Yeah?""We're going to be together forever, right?"She had kissed my forehead. "Yes. I'll love you forever."Back then, she truly believed that spending a lifetime together was the simplest thing in the world. But later, she went to Althoria.On the day she left, I had come to see her off. My eyes had been red-rimmed, but I had stubbornly forced myself not to cry.I had told her, "Just focus on your work. I'll handle everything back home."And I kept his word.As Rosalie's condition deteriorated, I went over every single week to feed her,

Kate lowered her head. A long, heavy silence stretched between us.When she finally looked up again, her eyes were completely red. "I-I don't even know what to say."She paused, taking a ragged breath. "I admit it. I messed up. I was alone out there for too long. The polar nights are endless. You never see the sun. He was always there at the observatory, talking to me, keeping me company…"She trailed off."Ruben, I'm sorry," she pleaded, leaning toward me. "I really am. But I do love you. You know I do."Kate stared at my face, looking like a drowning person desperately clawing at a piece of driftwood."You can yell at me or hit me. Do whatever you want." She reached out, trying to take my hand.I pulled away.Her hand froze in midair for a couple of seconds before slowly pulling back.A pair of small birds landed on the snow nearby, chirping quietly to each other."I truly know I was wrong. Can we please just start over?" Kate's voice was incredibly raspy. "It was just a te

After a brief period of recovery, I immediately set off on a new journey.As the plane broke through the clouds, everything about that city shrank into the distance.Thanks to the success of my recent research project and the buzz surrounding my newly published paper, I had been awarded a fellowship at Nivora Medical Center.It was an opportunity I had dreamed of for years, but one I had repeatedly hesitated to take. After all, it meant studying abroad for three whole years. I had been too worried about Kate's upcoming return and too obsessed with safeguarding our stable future.How incredibly naive I had been.Over the years, I had nearly lost myself entirely trying to accommodate her. This time, I was going to live strictly for myself.The day I landed in Nivora, the weather was beautiful.Winters here were usually bleak and overcast, but I happened to catch a rare, sunlit day.Sunlight spilled over the colorful houses, the masts of fishing boats in the harbor, and the cobble

Kate stared out into the pitch-black night, feeling uneasy. There was a dull ache blossoming deep within her chest, but whenever she tried to pinpoint it, it slipped out of reach.Suddenly, a warm arm wrapped around her waist from behind."What are you daydreaming about?" Nathan asked, his voice low and seductive."Distracted even when you're with me?"Kate stiffened. "Let go."Nathan didn't let go. Instead, he pulled her closer. "What's wrong?"His hands drifted up, beginning to undo the buttons of her shirt. "I didn't just bring that one outfit for your birthday tonight. Don't you want to see what else I have?"Irritated, Kate pushed his hands away a second time.Nathan looked up at her, his expression instantly crumbling into a pout. "Kate, I followed you all the way to Althoria and endured all these grueling polar nights with you. What do you think I'm doing all this for? I just want to be with you."Nathan lowered his head, his voice softening into a whine. "I know I'm no
