The Billionaire Alpha’s Contract Lover

Chapter 1052
“Tonight, on the operating table, we bid farewell to another young person.”
Jayden tightened his grip on Harper’s waist, holding her even closer.
“I thought I could save him, but…”
However, he still failed and could only watch as his heart rate gradually became a flat line.
“Sometimes I wonder, what is the point of studying medicine? Is it to save lives or to witness them slip away before my eyes?”
Harper turned her head to look at Jayden when she heard this. Seeing his sad expression, she knew he was feeling upset about his own helplessness.

Harper thought for a moment, then suddenly gathered her courage and reached out to embrace Jayden. Her slender, white fingers gently stroked his back, again and again.
“Dr. Sherwood, life and death are predetermined. Even doctors may not be able to save everyone. Don’t blame yourself for this.”
While gently patting his back, Harper soothed him with a soft voice and admired him, saying,
“In fact, if there were no doctors in this world, I wouldn’t know who to turn to if I got sick. It’s because of the existence of doctors that so many patients have hope. That’s why, in my heart, doctors are always different.”
If she hadn’t been so focused on working part-time to earn money during high school, maybe she would have worked hard to study and strive to become a doctor.
Harper’s comforting words improved Jayden’s gloomy mood a bit. He held her hand tightly and didn’t want to let go.
“Thank you for comforting me.”
Harper heard his voice, which was not as low as before, and knew that he was feeling better. So she wanted to push him away.
“Jayden, let’s go back…”
She didn’t push her away directly but instead found an excuse. However, Jayden became addicted and didn’t want to let go.
“If you don’t mind, can I hold you a little longer?”
