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

"What's my specialty in lab techniques?"


With each question, Zoran's face grew more and more troubled.


By the end, he couldn't even look me in the eye!


"Zoran, give it up. Stop clinging to this."


"Why?" His eyes were filled with resentment.


"Just because Rockefeller has more resources and status than me?"


"And not only does he have more resources and status, he's also more sincere and devoted!"


"He loves me and always puts my research first."


Zoran stood there frozen, as if all the life had been sucked out of him in an instant, completely deflated.


I couldn't be bothered to deal with him anymore and turned to leave the lab.


The next time I heard about him was at an academic conference.


"Poor Zoran, such a brilliant researcher ruined by a woman!"


"Yeah, I don't know what he was thinking, entrusting core data to an outsider."
