All could sense Jiang Yang was silent and became serious a bit. Though he tried to pull out jokes with patients and his colleagues, it didn’t feel like his real playful nature.
Six people who should have been around each other while smiling and enjoying life, they had to deal with the sudden turn in their lives.
Lu Qiang had gone somewhere far, never to return.
Jiang Yuyan was busy with business, and her cold self had nothing to do with others.
Lu Feng didn’t show up in the home or anywhere, as if he disappeared somewhere.
Jiang Yang became a human surgery machine who did nothing but to operate on his patients and searched for more cases to come in his hands.
Nixxxie left her home and family and was living somewhere far away so that she could forget everything, but it was impossible, and she could only shed tears all the time.
Lu Lijun, who was living a pampered life to date, was left alone on his own without being anyone from the family on his side to take care of him and shower love on him. He was spending his days while working on his future and the nights while missing someone.

In the private suite of one hotel in the city...
Lu Feng entered the suite where one man in his early forties was waiting for him.
"Lu Feng, nice to see you here," the man in the grey suit stood up from the couch as he welcomed Lu Feng.
"It’s indeed my pleasure that Mr. Park found time to meet me," Lu Feng countered as he shook hands with the man and sat on the couch, opposite to the man.
"As usual, you are being humble, Lu Feng," the man commented as he smiled lightly.
Lu Feng put one file on the center table which he was holding in his hands, "I have prepared one more plan. I wish you to go through it."
The man picked up the file, and when he finished going through it, he said, "I am glad that I found you, Lu Feng. If it were not for you, I would have been in bad condition. It seems like god really exists somewhere."
"Don’t mention it, Mr. Park. Because of you, I can finally do what I wished for," said Lu Feng, his eyes filled with gratitude.
"You don’t need me, Lu Feng. Even if I was not there, I am sure you would have done it. One’s capability and his strong determination to do something define the person. Even if we leave you with nothing, you can rise anywhere."
"Mr. Park thinks so highly of me," said Lu Feng.
Mr. Park smiled, "I am good with one thing, and that is to identify the genuine and capable person."
Lu Feng accepted the man’s praising and asked, "How’s everything going in city S?" Lu Feng asked.
"For now, everything is fine, but if we need to conduct this project, you have to move to city S. It would be difficult to manage it from here," informed the man.
"I will, but now it’s not the right time. Mr. Park already knows the situation," said Lu Feng.
"Yes, I know. I hope you can solve it soon and we can start our work," the man said as he added, "We have big investors for this project and...."
"For now, I want you us to keep it low, and it would be better not to get many known people involved in it, also Mr. Park..."
"I understand. Your name won’t be mentioned anywhere," Mr. Park assured.
Lu Feng felt glad as he inquired, "I heard there was some problem in the family. I hope Mr park was able to solve it."
"Hmm! I have only one person to care for, and I hope she will be fine," the man informed. "I wish you to come to my home one day and meet my family."
"I will, soon."
Both talked for a while, and Lu Feng left the place. He didn’t go home because of his mother, but he didn’t even visit Jiang Yuyan in her office, which he usually did to help her if there was something.
After that incident in the garden, he felt difficult to face Jiang Yuyan, and he didn’t like the fact that she knew how he felt for her. He was happy with how things were going on between them, but now he felt like running away from them.
Every day, he used to work on what he had been doing for long, unknown to others, and in the night he used to drink in the pub and come back home in a drunken state. He started to feel like he was lonely as he could not even go and see his friends. He understood how Lu Lijun must have felt and how lonely he must be once Jiang Yuyan decided to distance herself from him.
Lu Feng was scared she would ask him to go away too, so he didn’t go in front of her as that would be the most hurting thing for him.

Jiang Yuyan’s office, in the evening after the office work...
Jiang Yuyan stayed back in the office as that day she had planned something important to do.
"What’s the update?" Jiang Yuyan asked as she was standing near the window behind her work table.
"He is in the pub right now, after spending the entire day locked inside the home," San Zemin answered.
Jiang Yuyan understood there was no way she could talk to Lu Feng as he was doing his best to avoid her. There was no space for a talk between them, and she had to go through other ways to do the things.
The thing that worried her was what his mother Su Hui was also concerned about. If he had wasted his time like this, then it would be his loss, and she didn’t want it, knowing how capable Lu Feng was.
