"Okay," she said softly.
Chen Ting looked at Zhou Zerong, who was skillfully cooking, and couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache.
Zerong, your family is so wealthy. Why did you choose to study abroad?
As Zhou Zerong prepared the ingredients, he paused at the question, but then continued as if nothing was wrong. The downturn of his eyes, however, revealed immense sorrow.
"I used to have a sister who suffered from liver cirrhosis at a young age. The medical conditions at the time weren't great and couldn't properly treat such patients."
"My sister couldn't be saved. Since then, I vowed to study medicine."
"It was my sister's situation that made me realize that if I want to give more people a chance at life, I must first improve the medical techniques and methods."
Feeling somewhat remorseful, Chen Ting looked at Zhou Zerong. "Zerong, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to bring that up."
Zhou Zerong responded with a gentle smile.
