Chapter 102 - 091 A Decade Ago, A Decade Later (Seeking First Subscription)_8
The girl passed by the periphery with a calm expression on her face, as though she were merely a passerby who happened to glance over unintentionally, her gaze coincidentally colliding with Jack’s.
—Boss, hurry and save me... Jack’s eyes accused.
The girl smiled faintly, the sunlight pouring in from the floor-to-ceiling windows bathing her in a glow that made her seem especially saintly and beautiful.
In the moment Jack was caught off-guard, the girl had disappeared on the spot.
"Mr. Jack, as Dr. Nyx’s assistant, what are your thoughts on the surgery Dr. Nyx performed this time?"
"Mr. Jack? May I ask if Dr. Nyx...."
The bustle faded away as the girl took the elevator down to the first floor, where the broadcast of an economic channel news program from Country Hua TV was playing on the large screen in the lobby. The female anchor’s voice was calm yet dignified.
"Recently, Jiangzhou City held an environmental protection inspection group meeting and a discussion with key enterprises about environmental protection work... Mr. Yun Shen, a renowned entrepreneur in the country, expressed that he will actively take on the primary responsibilities...."
The girl slowly stopped in her tracks and turned her head toward the big screen.
On the screen, the man’s mature and handsome face flashed by, which, with the fermentation of years, seemed even more charming.
A chilling and mocking smile spread across the depths of his dark eyes, like sunshine falling on an icy lake, causing the ice on its surface to melt inch by inch, revealing a lake as clear and tranquil as ever.
Ten years have gone by, and your good days are coming to an end.
Not far away, a nurse was pushing a patient in a wheelchair in this direction. She was speaking to the patient and therefore did not notice the girl standing ahead until...
"Ah... I’m so sorry. Are you hurt anywhere? I can take responsibility," the nurse said with concern.
The girl stepped back just in time, but the wheel still grazed past her body, leaving the nurse uncertain whether she was injured.
The girl nonchalantly brushed the dust that had accidentally adhered to her skirt. Although it was a simple gesture, it carried an indescribable regal elegance.
The nurse noticed her hand, which was incredibly beautiful; slender and deft, pale and delicate, like a fluttering butterfly, giving off an impression of elegance and lightness. She thought to herself that this must surely be the hand of a pianist.
"I’m fine," the girl said, looking up with a gentle smile.
Though she stood right there, within arm’s reach, her entire being seemed to become ethereal, giving off an unreal illusion.
Her voice was like bubbling stream water, or like crisp, clear notes of Jade Beads falling onto a plate, carrying a fragrance that, with the spell of time, became more intense and redolent, seeping into the heart and soul.
In the instant both were bewildered, the girl had already passed them, her figure gradually receding into the distance and disappearing at the bustling entrance of the hall.
"That lady is truly beautiful...." the young patient sighed, his gaze still a bit intoxicated.
The nurse frowned slightly, "There’s a familiar feeling for some reason...."
Dr. Nyx couldn’t be that young, right? Shaking her head, the nurse dismissed the thought herself. Such a full and perfect resume couldn’t possibly belong to a girl who still looked underage. If she were to tell others, it would surely be the biggest joke of the century.
But those eyes, that feeling... they really resembled Dr. Nyx!
Once, when Dr. Nyx was performing surgery, she had the privilege of being the circulating nurse and caught a glimpse from afar.

Walking on the lush green paths of St. Mary Hospital, she slowed down, breathing in the free and fresh air.
Her cellphone ringtone started to play.
Yun Ya took out her phone, and her lips curled involuntarily upon seeing the caller ID.
"Hello, Brother Ah Du," she said in a sweet voice that melted hearts.
"Yaya, is the surgery over?" A deep and magnetic voice came through the phone, laced with a subtle tenderness and indulgence.
Yun Ya looked up at the sky, her fingers shielding her eyes. The sunlight was fragmented by the slender fingers, casting a more graceful silhouette.
"Yes, it’s done."
"Tired?"
Yun Ya curved her lips, "Not really, I’m used to it now. During my internship, I even pulled through three days and nights without sleep."
"I’ve made your favorite dishes, so come back soon. Miaomiao also says she misses you."
At the mention of Miaomiao, her eyes instantly covered with a layer of gentle radiance. Under the bright sunshine, she seemed exceptionally tender and alluring.
"Alright, I’ll be right there."
