A major car accident nearly cost me my life. With ambulances in short supply, paramedics provided basic care as I waited for rescue.
Mustering all my strength, I called Granger, who was on vacation, to save me.
He coldly replied, "Can you stop pulling these stunts to get me to see you? I'm very busy."
I was rushed to the ER and told there weren't enough doctors. The hospital called Granger to come back and assist with the emergency.
At that moment, he was at an intern's house performing surgery on a dog. He made various excuses and only returned to work at the hospital the next day.
But by then, I had already been transferred to another city for surgery, barely escaping death.
Three years later, I returned home to visit my father who had suffered a cerebral hemorrhage. I ran into Granger at the hospital.
Wearing his white coat, he smirked at me, "Finally decided to come back? If you want to marry me, go apologize to Melody first. Then I'll consider whether to take you as my wife or not."
But I was already a mother by then, with a pair of twins. I no longer needed to beg him to marry me.
