Bo Chengyan sucked hard on his cigarette, wheezing and coughing with every drag. Somehow, it made him feel marginally better.
"Doctor Bo?" A surprised femminine voice cut him off abruptly.
Bo Chengyan looked up to find a nurse from his hospital.
She seemed suddenly nervous looking at him. Just how did Bo end up in such a state?
"Doctor Bo, are you... are you alright?" She was frightened by his distressed state, given that he has a reputation in the hospital for being gentle and kind.
Bo Chengyan froze, letting the burning cigarette linger between his fingertips. He couldn't help but see Gu Qibao in the nurse's confused, frightened, trembling, and incredulous demeanor.
He was rooted to the spot, staring at her. Suddenly, his eyes started to sting. What exactly had he lost in the process?
Only when the burning cigarette bit into his fingertip did the pain force him back into his senses.
