During our medical aid mission with my husband in a border war zone, his pure love contracted a deadly virus.
That day, he gave the last experimental vaccine to his pure love, while he stayed behind in the war zone forever due to exposure to the pathogen.
Only then did I realize I was just a passerby in his military career.
Reborn and returned to our time at military medical school.
Back then, he was still just a spirited medical intern.
When he learned his pure love was going to join the medical team in Africa, he gave up the best military hospital position without hesitation.
Watching his resolute figure walk away, I let go of all expectations.
Eight years later, we reunited at an international medical summit.
By then, he had become the chief expert for the World Health Organization.
Seeing me standing at the lab entrance, he frowned:
"Serenity, you really are like a lingering ghost."
"Stop appearing in front of me. Even if another 80 years pass, I won't look back."
I smiled gently, turning to walk towards our daughter who was observing cells in the culture room.
But he seemed stung, his face contorting:
"Are you insane? You'd marry and have a child with just anyone to make me jealous?"
"You think this will make me change my mind?"

The Ex was Crying Outside the Lab

"The priceless sample of the latest virus!"


The lab assistant blocked my path, eyes filled with contempt and anger.


All eyes in the conference hall were drawn to the sudden blaring of the alarm.


Zoran turned around, his pupils contracting sharply when he saw it was me.


"You dared to break into Columbia's core lab just to get my attention?"


The researchers present exchanged glances, whispering among themselves:


"Is Professor Channing implying she's not the expert sent by Johns Hopkins?"


Zoran pressed his lips together, his expression instantly becoming rigid:


"My apologies, everyone, for this embarrassing scene. She was once my colleague at the military hospital."


Upon hearing Zoran's explanation, the experts in the lab exchanged meaningful looks.


"Professor Channing sure is lucky in love. Both his ex-colleague and current fiancée are top talents!"


"Huh? Wasn't Dr. Winters said to be his first love?"


"Now there's a military hospital colleague in the mix?"


Faced with the chatter, Zoran's expression gradually froze.Standing next to him, Vivienne's gaze towards me was full of wariness and hostility.


"Just an intern I happened to work with when Vivienne and I were having a spat."


Zoran then turned to the lab supervisor:


"Please escort her out of the lab area."


Throughout, he deliberately avoided my gaze, as if I were some dangerous virus sample.


Fine, I never want to have anything to do with him in this lifetime either.


"Get out quickly," the lab assistant shoved me. "Don't contaminate the sterile environment."


"How dare a third-rate doctor like you even compare yourself to Professor Channing?"


The assistant spoke while eyeing my protective suit covered in sampling dust with disgust.


"Wait, I still have important samples to collect."


"I've seen plenty of women like you throwing themselves at men. Don't think you can use this as an excuse to get close to Professor Channing."


With that, the assistant grabbed my protective suit and started dragging me out.At this moment, Vivienne suddenly spoke up:


She gracefully walked over, arm in arm with Zoran, her eyes gleaming with triumph.


"Serenity, Zoran has never cared about you. Stop embarrassing yourself."


"We're about to get married now. Don't you think it's pathetic for you to keep hanging around like this?"


"That's right," Zoran said with furrowed brows and an icy tone:


"I've never had any feelings for you. Stop clinging to these unrealistic fantasies."


"Even if I had to wait another eighty years, Vivienne would still be my only choice."


"How about this," he paused, "I can sponsor you to go to another research institute."


As he spoke, he gestured for Vivienne to take out her phone, ready to transfer money.
