While waiting for her shift to end, he noticed Zhao An talking closely with a younger male doctor. The two looked comfortable together, exchanging smiles while discussing patient files. Logically, Gu Yan knew there was nothing strange about it. Zhao An later explained that the doctor was only a junior physician she was mentoring. Still, a familiar discomfort quietly returned to his chest. He hated how quickly the old thoughts resurfaced. The Old Patterns Never Fully Disappear Even after Zhao An reassure...
