At the celebration banquet at Seaville Hospital.

The medical staff who had been dispatched to Oasisvale for the peacekeeping mission had all returned, prompting the hospital to arrange a celebration banquet in their honors

Among the invitees was Kelly, who had risked her life to protect her colleagues during the mission.

Over the past two years, the Lynches had seen rapid expansion. The hospital director, Irene Chasey, was promoted and reassigned to the capital. In her place, a new director had taken over, though in reality, he was nothing more than a figurehead controlled by Beau.

As the saying goes, with a new leader comes a new set of loyalists. Seaville Hospital had once again fallen under the influence of the Lynches.

At the same time, Eric, who had recently returned from an overseas exchange program, received a promotion and continued advancing in his career.

"We always thought she had died in Oasisvale. She was taken by terrorists; it must have been horrifying."

"If I were in her position, I probably wouldn't have made it out alive."

"Captured by those kinds of people ... What could possibly come of it? I even heard she had a child with one of them."

A small group of people huddled together, whispering gossip and false rumors. Instead of showing appreciation for Kelly's sacrifice, they chose to spread baseless speculation.

People's true nature rarely holds up under scrutiny.

If this had been two years ago, Kelly might have felt deeply hurt. But now, she had grown used to it.

Used to witnessing the nature of humanity.

Human nature is brutal and unsettling, and after seeing it enough times, it becomes just another part of life.
