MasukMy request to transfer back to the headquarters was once again rejected in my sixth year on the frontline. The official reason was that spouses were not allowed to work in the same hospital, supposedly to prevent workplace romance. The reason failed to convince me. I secretly returned to Kingsfield, hoping to get an answer from my superior. … Outside the office, I overheard the conversation between him and my husband, George Durand. My superior started, "You have been keeping Ivy's application on hold over the last five years for Mia, but Ivy is hitting the age limit next year. This is her last chance to be transferred back." George's expression did not change. "That position has to go to Mia. Ivy can stay where she is. Mia has a promising future. She can't lose this opportunity." My superior argued back, "Staying at headquarters is Ivy's dream too. You manipulated me into sending her to the frontline, and then you kept blocking her transfer requests. "As for Mia, she failed her assessment. Without your protection, she would've been dismissed long ago. Are you really going to keep covering for her?" Anger contorted George's face. "Everyone knows Ivy is my wife! Nobody will pick on her! Unlike her, Mia doesn't have a special background. She won't survive the battlefield. I'll take Mia under my wing and train her personally. Nobody is touching her without my permission." I called the lawyer with tears in my eyes. "Please prepare the divorce papers for me," I said. "As soon as possible." I let five years of my life go to waste, only to discover that George had found another woman. Since there was no more love between us, I would stop clinging to him.

I was terrified I would die here. I was even more afraid of never seeing you again. Every time I helped transport the injured from the battlefield, my hands would be trembling. "I even thought about how much nicer things would be if you were by my side. At the very least, I wouldn't be that scared..."I was once kidnapped by terrorists. I called you, then. I thought I was going to die, so I wanted to speak with you and hear your voice for one last time."His head snapped up, remembering the call I spoke of and how I had been helplessly sobbing the entire time.What did he say back then?He was afra
I made good on my word and practically taught them everything I knew.However, it was not enough.The medical center was in terrible shape. Many of the surgeries that the patients needed were impossible to carry out.In order to save more lives, I decided to stay on the frontlines for a month.Most of the doctors at the center were unwanted fresh graduates or doctors with very limited experience in surgery.I carefully taught them how to differentiate the different wounds they would encounter and how to treat them throughout my stay there.Due to the aged equipment we were working with, I had to request new supplies from the headquarters.They approved the request and soon sent someone to deliver the requested supplies.To my surprise, the doctor accompanying the supplies would be George.George rushed out of the transport vehicle, charging straight to me so that he could get a good look at me. "Are you hurt? You're still sickly. This place is too dangerous! Leave the rest to
George's patience eventually cracked upon receiving nothing but mockery after his show of goodwill."Must you keep going on about the past? I only did that because I chose to help Mia instead of you in the transfer back to headquarters."You insist on blowing things up because of such a minor issue, and now we're divorced. Our child is gone. Our family is over! Just how far must you go before you're satisfied?"There was a ball of seething anger churning within me ever since the divorce.I could constantly hear the angry cries echoing in my mind. The anger would surge forth whenever I heard George's name. However, I had nowhere to vent it.But now, I could no longer hold back."Minor? Stalling and keeping me stuck on the frontlines for five whole years is minor to you? In the end, you've just never thought of me as your wife, George!"You say you were fair, but you never treated me well when you saw me suffering out there. All Mia had to do was cry, and you made me get an aborti
He helplessly sobbed to me on that day."Dear, my hands will be ruined if I go to the frontlines. You have to help me."Due to what he had done for my mother, I decided to head to the frontlines so that he could be promoted.Unfortunately, my mother did not last long after her surgery.As I was still stuck on the frontlines, I failed to see her one last time.After that, I considered us even.That was what I thought.However, George visited me during the night shift.He placed a lunchbox in front of me, opening it up.The food contained within did not look the least bit appetizing. Even the chives looked burned. It was clear that the food wasn't store-bought."You've been busy with two surgeries today, so you must not have eaten yet, right? I made this myself. Give it a try."Although I was hungry, I felt zero urge to eat any of his cooking."It's fine. I'll just order takeout," I blandly replied.George's hands froze in mid-air, halfway through handing me a set of cutlery
