As their eyes met Lindsey’s captivating gaze, enhanced by her eyeliner, seemed to pull him into an unfathomable depth…
Seizing the moment, Lindsey pressed her fiery red lips against his cool, thin ones. At the same tim

The temperature inside the car quickly rose. As Lindsey’s hands slid down and Luc encircled her waist, her eyes sparkled with a soft, enchanting glow of affection Inside her heart, feelings of love blossomed like petals
She had always known. Luc loved her. No matter the distance between them or the fact that he had married someone else, she would always hold a
special place in his heart.
The seductive tone in Lindsey’s voice added fuel to the fire as she whispered, Luc, I love you?”
With sparks igniting intense emotions, their deep kiss seemed to transport them back in time to their days together in Boston before their breakup–the image of them holding hands and walking through the autumn leaves, embracing each other under the setting sun….
It was only when another car pulled over that they reluctantly parted. The arrival was Lindsey’s older brother, Ralph.
A sleek black car parked in front of them. Ralph stepped out, his tall frame clad in a deep burgundy suit, a black tie, and a stem expression on his handsome face. His sharp eyes narrowed as he recognized the vehicle parked beside them.
He approached, recognizing Luc’s car.
Lindsey rolled down the window, tidied her hair, wrapped herself in a shawl, and greeted him with an enchanting smile. “Ralph, you’re back.”
Luc adjusted his collar, opened the car door, and stepped out, greeting politely: “Hello, Mr. Beth!”
With a stem expression and a hint of disapproval in his eyes, Ralph asked, Tuc, what are you doing here?”
As far as he knew, Luc was a married man, What was he doing with his younger sister?
Ralph was unaware of how they had initially broken up. Back in the countryside, they had been a couple, yet Luc had marned someone else. Now that Lindsey had returned, how had they ended up together again?
Lindsey was displeased with her brother’s attitude toward Luc and replied, “Ralph, I asked Luc to take me to the movies. Today is the premiere of Director
Grant’s new film.”
“But he “Ralph hesitated. He was a married man, he still had a wife at home
Lindsey understood her brothers concerns. “Brother. Luc is my friend. I just returned and want to get familiar with the local film industry.”
“I know you want to break into the entertainment industry. I’ve already set up some connections for you, in a few days, you can meet the renowned
Director Gram. With your Drama degree from abroad, you might land the lead role in his next movie
A look of astonishment appeared in Lindsey’s eyes, followed by overwhelming joy and excitement, radiating brighter than the streetlights. “Really? Ralph,
you can’t be joking.”
Ralph smiled affectionately. Would I ever be to you?”
“You’re the best Ralph”
“Silly girl, if I didn’t treat you well, who would I treat well?
Lindsey playfully pouted, “I thank you properly when I get back. But today, I’m going to the movies with Luc. We’ll talk later”
She noticed Luc standing quietly and, sensing his displeasure, quickly bid farewell to her brother
Though Luc felt a bit neglected, he was happy for her opportunity in the entertainment industry. He knew her dream was to become a remarkable actress.
To win awards and shine on screen.
Of course, he fully supported her, but he didn’t like being second to her ambitions
During their years in the United States, they had a cold war over these issues. Eventually, Lindsey expressed that she couldn’t handle his serious nature
I suggested they break up, advising him not to hinder her dreams. She wanted to shine in the spotlight, free from any obstacles
She hadn’t even opposed his marriage, believing it was good for someone to care for him in her absence. She had said that once she finished her studies and returned if he still wanted to be with her, she would be open to it
Now that she was back, he had requested a divorce from Emma Yet, seeing how easily Emma let go left him feeling unexpectedly unsettled
It was as if the four years with Emma had been nothing but an illusion
Emma’s life in the West may be simple, but it was fulfilling. The students at the village. chool adored her and even wanted her to teach them. However,
she politely declined their invitations, maintaining a harmonious relationship without
Recently, the number of daily patients has increased, with even people from neighboring villages seeking treatment at the village clinic.
Ariane was quite unhappy about this. It was already bad enough that people for nearby villages were coming now, even those from distant mountain villages were doubling her workload. She found it increasingly difficult to hide her irritation
In truth, Emma’s excellent medical skills and her kind demeanor had spread her reputation, attracting more patients…
Once, while treating an elderly woman with liver spots on her hands, Ariane’s face contorted in disgust. The old woman noticed Anane’s displeasure and,
feeling unwelcome, decided to leave without further treatment.
Anane would have been glad if the woman hadn’t returned, happier without her presence. Just thinking about the old woman’s condition made her feel
nauseous.
Another day, the elderly woman returned when Emma was on duty. Emma treated her dry, itchy eyes with care.
Emma diligently applied eye drops and cleaned the debris from her eyes, showing only professionalism and kindness throughout the process.
Afterward, she instructed the old woman to come back daily for treatment, emphasizing that consistent care was essential for improvement.
While Emma could have asked the woman to manage on her own, she feared that, due to her age and lack of assistance, the elderly woman might struggle So, she took it upon herself to help, knowing the woman’s home was nearby.
The old woman was very grateful. As she left, she grasped Emma’s hand and said, “Dr. Johnson, you are such a kind person!”
Emma smiled and replied, “Grandma, this is just my duty as a doctor; you don’t need to be so formal.”
Her sincere attitude made Ariane sneer in disbelief. Emma seemed skilled at winning people over, playing the role of the “good person.”
When it was time to part, the old lady glanced at Ariane and shook her head. Both were doctors, yet some seemed self–righteous and superficial, while
others were dedicated and ethical.
How could a doctor lacking basic ethics speak of healing and saving lives?
A narrow worldview leads to a limited perspectivel
A few days later, a department from the province sent a commendation to the medical team. It was the first recognition they had received since arriving
the West, and it was a prestigious one.
It didn’t say ‘Resurrecting the dead, Healing the wounded or ‘Curing all sorts of diseases. Instead, it expressed heartfelt praise in simple terms. “High
Medical Ethics, Warm Compassion.”
“Dedicated to the Earth’s Most Beautiful Healer!”
Naturally, the local journalist covering the story wouldn’t miss such significant news. Emma became famous, trending on social media, and appearing in headline videos, and her story was shared widely online.
