Chapter 1I Heard You Like Doctors

At my high school graduation party, my friend asked me about my ideal boyfriend.

I stared at the guy with the bright red hair, so vibrant and bold, and deliberately said the opposite of what I felt.

"I actually prefer guys with dark hair, glasses, the quiet and thoughtful type. And if he's a doctor? Even better."

Ten years later, holding my best friend's ultrasound report, I bumped into a guy in a white coat at the hospital.

He adjusted his glasses, quickly scanned my ultrasound report, and his voice trembled slightly,

"You're pregnant?"

"Huh?"

I mumbled a response, hurriedly picking up the medical chart from the floor.

I just assumed he was a kind doctor passing by.

The next second, the kind doctor helped me up.

"Did no one come with you?"

I couldn't help but look up at him.

His face was covered by a mask, and dark, messy hair hid half his eyes, so I couldn't make out his expression.

I could vaguely see a few lingering ear piercings.

This doctor was quite stylish.

"Oh, my best friend is right over there."

I pointed behind him, then quickly walked past him.

Ava was already stretching her neck, waiting.

Her husband had died in a car accident a month ago, leaving behind only her and their baby, less than three months along.

Ava wanted to keep the baby, but her emotions had been unstable.

The doctor suggested regular check-ups at the hospital.

"Got the report. Let's go find the doctor."

I took her hand.

But Ava didn't move.

A rare smile appeared on her face.

"That doctor seems pretty handsome. He was staring at you."

Even at a time like this, she still had time for my gossip!

I followed her gaze; the doctor was still standing there.

I looked up, and our eyes met.

The light from outside poured in, giving his white coat a halo.

For some reason, he looked familiar.
