It must not be. However, why did Vireo feel that he seemed to have heard that voice somewhere before? H e was supposed to be a surgeon who should not be distracted by anything else. However, right at the moment as he was entering the operating room, he could not help but turn his head around and took a glance.
That was a little girl who had just grown up. She was very ugly. She had a face full of freckles, a flat nose, small eyes, and her nose was all red from crying. She just seemed like a little doll who could not find her home and had suddenly seen her family. Her eyes were all feared up and she was beaming with joy, then she ran to him with her arms wide open. Who did she take him for?
At that moment, Vireo clearly felt that this little girl, who had just entered her twenties, seemed to have taken him as her father. Father? No, she was addressing him as her uncle. That was right. She had taken him as her uncle, the person who was second only to her father.
Vireo had always wanted a child, but he never did. He had already been disheartened. He intended to put all of his energy for the remaining years of his life into the field of medicine. He had already completely bidden farewell to the past. However, this girl suddenly awakened his wish to be a father, which he had never gotten to fulfill.
Vireo was a sensible doctor. That operation that day was the first operation that he was going to perform. H e could not be distracted and he could not have any diversions. That operation was incredibly important t o him. Therefore, he decisively paid no attention to the little girl anymore, and decisively went into the sterile operating room. Right as he entered the room, all the distractions were pushed to the back of his mind, and he only thought of his patient after all.
The operation took six hours. He was full of vigor the moment he started operating. That was the occupation that he loved the most. It was his hobby to dedicate his life to saving lives. Every successful operation was like solving a complex puzzle. It was an enjoyable process that he was completely wrapped up in, and he very confidently solved the complex puzzle.
Six hours later, the operation was a great success.
Right at the moment when he had completed stitching up the patient, Vireo was so tired. His lips were all dried and chapped, both of his feet were numbed, and both of his arms were shaking from fatigue. However, he was at ease. He was so relaxed that he had temporarily forgotten about that ugly yet super cute little girl, who was pitiful, had a red little nose, and was crying miserably.
After he had left the operating table, he dragged his extremely exhausted body out of the room. He simply just wanted to have a good sleep, and then bring some gifts to his mentor to sincerely thank him. It was his mentor who had given him the chance to live again. It was his mentor who let him have a successful beginning with the first operation at the largest hospital in South City. It was all because of his mentor. He wanted to thank his mentor.
In the end, right as he walked out of the sterile operating room with endless exhaustion still showing on his body and face, and when he was so exhausted that he did not even want to bat an eyelid, he saw the three girls. To be exact, it was a woman and two girls. To be even more precise, it was two women, one older and the other younger, as well as a half-grown child.
It was quite the contrast that the half-grown child was looking incomparably calmly at him while the most grown up woman among them was all covered in tears. Like the scalpel in Vireo's hand, those tear stains very quickly and accurately sliced up his heart and pierced through the deepest end of his heart. Those tears made him feel incredibly painful, so painful that his heart kept pounding. Vireo was instantly stunned. Immediately after that, he heard her calling a name. "Holden...¹'
Holden? A very long time ago, Vireo had an incomparably distant dream. In his dream, he had seen a man who looked exactly like himself. That man told him that his name was Holden. Vireo instantly felt the turmoil in his heart. It was an indescribable feeling. Before he could clear his mind, that woman already recklessly ran into his arms with her face covered with tears. While crying, she called him over and over again. "Holden, don't leave me. Don't leave m e anymore. Holden..."
At that moment, Vireo became incredibly softhearted." Alright."
