True Love Waits

Carlos called Dixon and quickly made some arrangements. After getting everything in order, he hung up the phone and stared at Evelyn's bedroom door, deep in thought.

After dinner, Evelyn finally plucked up some courage to call Sheffield.

However, to her disappointment, his phone was switched off. "Sorry, the subscriber you have dialed is currently unavailable."

Evelyn tried calling him a few more times after that, but to no avail. In the end, she gave up.

Ever since Evelyn was pregnant, she stopped going to the company. Carlos gave no explanation as to why she suddenly decided to quit her job.

As such, people's imaginations ran wild, creating baseless narratives, one stranger than the other. Some guessed that Evelyn was so devastated by what Calvert did that she decided to go on a soul-healing vacation.

As time went by, Evelyn's whereabouts became a mystery. Despite all the media reporters' best efforts, no one could tell where she was.

Two years later, in Leafside Village, D City

The entire village was home to a bustling population set against the backdrop of the ruins of dilapidated houses.

A gray-colored, seven-seater minivan slowly stopped opposite a small clinic at the entrance of the village. Without rolling down the window, the woman in the car stared at the shabby clinic.

Sitting in the back seat of the minivan, she squinted her eyes to get a closer look and found a doctor examining a crying child with his stethoscope.

The doctor's white uniform looked relatively new. Neither his clothing nor his temperament fit in well with this run-down village.

Having noticed what was wrong with the child, the doctor began to write down the prescription on paper. "Give him Western medicine first. Then switch back to Chinese medicine after he's better."

"Okay, okay. Thank you, Dr. Tang." The plainly-dressed woman, who was holding the child in her arms, looked at him with gratitude.

He was the most skilled and handsome doctor in all the nearby villages. He could easily draw a long queue of patients from here, all the way to the opposite side of the road. It was already past noon, and this child was his last patient for the morning.

Any outsider would simply assume that he didn't have many patients, but the truth was that Sheffield had a lot of patients on his waiting list this afternoon.

A woman in a nurse's uniform came out of the inner chamber with medical equipment and smiled sweetly at the man. "Sheffield, my mom's calling us in for lunch. Let's go before she gets mad at us again." "Okay, I'll be there in a bit," he said, smiling back at her.
