Han Ling left without informing Qiao Zhiyi.
It was not until the next morning when Qiao Zhiyi went downstairs that she heard Doctor Yu say Han Ling had left before dawn.
"Didn't he tell you?" Doctor Yu asked, a look of surprise on his face.
Qiao Zhiyi smiled, "He mentioned it yesterday."
"I thought so. The two of you are so close, how could he leave without telling you. It's just that the place he's going to is even more troublesome than where we are now. That epidemic still hasn't been resolved, and it claims many lives each year. The medical staff that go there often return fewer in number."
Doctor Yu sighed, "Those of us who come out here, we really don't want to go to places with infectious diseases. Once you're infected, it's a lifelong issue."
Qiao Zhiyi didn't say anything.
She couldn't influence the decision Han Ling made; if he chose to go there, he should be aware of the potential problems.
All she could do now was pray to heaven for his safe return.
