The first few days of Tianshi Xue being alone in the palace was not as bad as she thought. Yes, she was still sulking. Yes, she still cried the night before. Yes, she was still having trouble sleeping. But she was able to pull herself out of bed every morning and get started on the things on her to-do list.
It was a common fact that when you want to forget about something, you have to turn your attention to other things and save the tears for the bedroom. So that was what Tianshi Xue did. She kept herself busy and her hands full because it was only at those moments that she could forget that she was lonely.
"I can't believe that it's the last day today," she said sadly to Doctor Jung.
"It's not the last day. I still have to see you in action. That's why we're going to the hospital."
"Really?" she said excitedly, but her face fell almost immediately. "But wait, I don't think I'm qualified enough to treat patients."
"No, of course, you're not."
