Now it was my turn to laugh at him. The truth was that I truly appreciated what Ren did. Perhaps without his son’s life on the line, the emperor may have never allowed me to practice medicine. Now I will need to work hard to make my dream come true and hopefully, open up the path for other women to become doctors as well.
“You look breathtakingly beautiful in this dress…” Ren said suddenly.
His hands held my shoulders as he gazed into my eyes. I could tell that he was earnest, and his words made my heart beat so fast in my chest. It feels so different from when I heard these similar words of compliment from Shin.
When he bent his head down to kiss my forehead, I closed my eyes as a sense of calmness filled me.
“Ren…” I whispered his name passionately.
