He Wasn't My Moon, I Built My Own Light

Chapter 3

I nodded solemnly to Dr. Whitman.

I would not be stupid again.

Dr. Whitman was very pleased. A large part of the reason she had placed such high hopes on me was that I was her father's final protégé.

Before Professor Whitman fully retired, he accepted one last group of students, and I was one of them.

Professor Whitman taught me everything he had learned in his life's work. More than once, he had said I was a child with both talent and discipline.

That was why, after I came to St. Catherine's Medical Center, both Dr. Whitman and Dr. Hayes thought highly of me.

They all said that in the future, I would probably become the youngest associate attending physician in the hospital.

In my second year at the hospital, Ethan also came here. He was a doctor in Orthopedics, and with his handsome face and exceptional surgical skill, he quickly made a name for himself in the hospital.

What the senior doctors loved most was probably to play matchmaker for the younger doctors.

The department chiefs of Pulmonology and Orthopedics would find excuses every now and then to put Ethan and me together.

Perhaps everyone is attracted to excellence. Neither Ethan nor I was inferior to the other.

Naturally, we ended up together and became the hospital's golden couple, envied by everyone.

But now...

I returned to the office. I didn't have clinic duty today. Aside from my colleagues in Pulmonology, people from other departments all came over to ask how I was doing when they saw me.

Everyone except Ethan.

From the time I was hospitalized until now, nearly half a month had passed, and Ethan had not asked about me once.

Clearly, we were supposed to be the closest people to each other.

I put down my phone and opened the folder of materials.

I was truly tired.

I had loved Ethan for almost six years.

Over these six years, too many irreconcilable conflicts between us had torn at me again and again.

Because I loved him, I had never thought of giving up on this relationship.

But now, everything should come to an end.

I blocked Ethan.

I left all the love and pain in the past. Only then did I realize that deciding not to love someone anymore took nothing more than the few seconds needed to block them.
