Bo Chengyan sucked hard on his cigarette, wheezing and coughing with every drag. Somehow, it made him feel marginally better.
"Doctor Bo?" A surprised femminine voice cut him off abruptly.
Bo Chengyan looked up to find a nurse from his hospital.
She seemed suddenly nervous looking at him. Just how did Bo end up in such a state?
"Doctor Bo, are you... are you alright?" She was frightened by his distressed state, given that he has a reputation in the hospital for being gentle and kind.
Bo Chengyan froze, letting the burning cigarette linger between his fingertips. He couldn’t help but see Gu Qibao in the nurse’s confused, frightened, trembling, and incredulous demeanor.
He was rooted to the spot, staring at her. Suddenly, his eyes started to sting. What exactly had he lost in the process?
Only when the burning cigarette bit into his fingertip did the pain force him back into his senses.
"I’m fine." Bo Chengyan discarded the cigarette, mustered a weak smile, and gently patted the frightened nurse. "Everything’s fine."
After speaking, he walked away. The nurse looked at his departing figure and pouted. Doctor Bo seemed so lonely, so hurt.
........
Bo Chengyan made his way to Bo Chengxin’s ward. She was staying alone in an upscale suite, with their mother Cheng Xinlan keeping her company.
When Cheng Xinlan saw him, she gave a start and quickly got up. "What happened, son?"
