When they got to a fairly secluded hallway, the woman stopped then dropped on her knees, her sudden action took her by surprise.

"Please stand up," Yu Yan pleaded, gesturing the woman to take her seat on the bench instead of kneeling.

​​

"Please save my husband, I know we are not people of high status but that doesn't mean his life is irrelevant compared to a wealthy person," the woman pleaded with her hands together, she couldn't understand what she is saying but she just wanted the poor woman to stand for the meantime.

"Ma'am, whatever it is you have to say, I will listen to it but you have to take your sat, if someone sees you kneeling like this, they might have the wrong idea, please..." she pleaded, after much persistence, the woman finally took her seat next to Yu Yan on the bench.

She took her hand into hers.

"Now you can tell me, what happened?" her eyes narrowed to listen to the woman keenly.

"The second week after my husband got admitted, the surgeon you performed his operation with informed us that there is a liver donor who has the same blood type as my husband but because this person's blood type is rare just like my husband's, there is no patient who is compatible, I had already started making preparations but long after, we were informed that the liver has been given to someone else and it turns out that this person is a VIP patient," the woman narrated with tears flowing down her eyes.

She could feel the woman's misery which is clearly expressed through her voice, her haggard look and her eyes.

She sighed and bit her lips, she just couldn't believe that they are going to do the same thing they did to the previous patient but she is already determined to do all she can to save this patient no matter what.

She held her hand tighter.

"Please return to your husband's side, I want you to trust me to do everything in my power to make sure that your husband gets the liver rightfully even if it means we have to use the law," she patted her hand then she stood up decisively and made her way towards the hepatology department to see her transplant hepatologist friend.

She stormed her way into her office then shut the door with a loud bang, everyone around the office wondered what must have gone wrong.

"What is it?" her friend questioned seeing how she rudely entered her office.

"Why is he not getting the liver?" she queried in an angry tone with her chest moving up and down, seeing how heated she is, her friend pulled the blinds of the office then she walked towards Yu Yan.

"If he qualifies for it and he got it first, what right does any VIP patient have to take that liver instead of the patient, does status really matter that much to you people!" she yelled with her eyes bulged and her hands making the angry gestures.

She just can't take it when they cheat other patients and give them less attention just because they are not so wealthy.

"Yu Yan, mind your words, what do you mean by you people, are you saying I am playing injustice just like them, what exactly do you think of me, if anyone is to blame then it is you for giving them hope in the first place," she retorted, her scolding made Yu Yan calm down.

She walked past her to sit on the chair then her friend returned to her seat.

"Then tell me, what exactly happened?" she questioned in a more composed manner.

"You need to calm down, the patient guardian has the wrong idea and it is all my fault, I got a tip from the department that there is a donor whose blood type is compatible with the patient but I didn't think to ask any more detail before I rushed to inform the patient's guardian but it turns out that one the VIP patient who has already been registered before the patients had already gotten the liver so the patient just has the wrong idea, I have tried to convince her that it is not what she thinks but she just wouldn't believe anything I say," she explained, considering the type of person she is, Yu Yan knew she is not lying but it really pained he to know that someone else got the liver but considering that all lives are equal, she didn't dwell on it too much.

"I am sorry for acting rudely earlier, I will try explaining to her but please continue checking up on the department, I am sure you know the patient won't be able to last for long,"

"You know I will,"

She thanked her friend then exited the office but in truth, she doesn't know how to explain to the patient guardian who thinks her husband has been cheated since no one in her position would want to believe she has not been cheated for a wealthy person.

She returned to the ward to explain to the patient's wife but she couldn't bring herself to tell her because she definitely won't believe it.

She attended to more patients in need of urgent surgery and treatment, for the entire day, she couldn't visit Han Chen who had little on his tab to do, he paid a visit to the team leader of the general surgery department and had a little chat with her about his current condition and his proposal to Yu Yan.

When they decided to wear the ring in the open, they were prepared to let everyone know but they wanted to find a special opportunity to tell his aunt and uncle and also inform her parents, she knows it might be quite hard for her parents to accept a fiancée who appeared out of nowhere.

By the time they were done with work, it was already late in the night, they returned to the mansion together, they retired to their rooms to shower and change into something comfortable.

She couldn't help feeling down and powerless since she can't exactly find a liver donor using her own power for the patient, after all, he has to follow the queue no matter how pitiful and as a surgeon, she is supposed to be cold hearted- -at times.

She lied on her bed to sleep in her mickey mouse pyjamas, however, no matter how much she changes positions on the bed, she still can't seem to sleep but after about one hour of trying to sleep, she finally fell asleep.

"I have to master it no matter what..." the young lady in red hanfu gritted her teeth, she removed the gloves in her hands, she waved her hands around then pushed it forward towards the lake, she aimed to control her power in order to minimise the explosion for the nth times.

But as soon as she pushed her hands forward, the water blasted beyond control and the boomerang of her power sent her flying back, her back was about to hit a large rock when another young lady quickly held her back.

"Young mistress, you have to stop this now!" the latter yelled but the young lady freed herself from her grip but before she could conjure flames again, the other lady stood in front of her with her arms widespread.

"I won't let you keep doing this to yourself, I know you need to practice to perfection but this is not how to do it, you need to study your power and know your limit, you keep vomiting blood every day, if you continue this way, not only will you harm yourself but you won't be able to pass the test," the young lady persuaded with tears streaming down her cheeks and a pained expression on her face as she watched her young mistress continue to torment herself with blood at both corners of her lips.

"Move!" she yelled then raised her hand to threaten her but she still didn't budge.

"Go ahead, causing a disturbance in the lake won't help you, if you insist on continuing then you can just use me to train, as you already know, I am the second person in the world who can withstand your flames but there is a limit, I will rather die than watch you harm yourself," she shut her eyes tightly and gritted her teeth, waiting for the hit but when she didn't sense any movement, she opened her eyes.

"Young mistress!" she screamed seeing the petite body on the ground, she quickly rushed towards her and held her in her arms, she felt he pulse but it was too faint.

"Guardian, I need you..." she muttered in her unconscious state.

- - - - - - - -

"Guardian, I need you..." she shot her eyes open in an instant with her breath hung in her throat, she exhaled deeply to expel the air in her lungs then she wiped her forehead.

"This damned dream...nightmare again," she could feel her body weak and devoid of strength, she concluded that she won't be able to sleep peacefully without company so she decided to go to Han Chen.
