Chapter 11

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 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

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.

“Can I come see you? Let’s talk in person.”Camille did not hesitate. “That's unnecessary. 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
