Han Lin is a person with a very strong sense of self-esteem, but correspondingly, he is also very insecure. The shadow of his parents' suicide during his childhood still looms over him. During his university years, Zhao Zimo explicitly broke up with Han Lin. At that time, Han Lin was heartbroken, only feeling that he was abandoned by Zhao Zimo because he was too poor. From that moment on, Han Lin completely changed. In Han Lin's mind, self-interest became paramount. Han Lin's pursuit of Qi Huan was, of course, also because he was attracted to Qi Huan's family background.

Unexpectedly, Qi Huan rejected Han Lin in that way. Heartbroken and humiliated, Han Lin transferred all his resentment onto Qi Huan, leading to the subsequent series of events. Han Lin deleted all of Zhao Ziming's contact information. But a relationship of over ten years couldn't be severed with just a flick of the finger.

After graduating from university, Han Lin joined a Fortune 500 company. It's inherently difficult for someone without any connections to make a living in a big city. Han Lin was no exception. However, through his hard work, his life gradually improved. But one afternoon, Han Lin's fate took a dramatic turn.

That day, Han Lin suffered from severe tonsillitis due to long-term sleep deprivation and had no choice but to go to the hospital. To be honest, this was the first time in Han Lin's life that he had ever been to a hospital. In the past, whenever he had minor ailments, Han Lin would always just endure them. Even when they were serious, he would just buy some medicine at the pharmacy and then sleep it off. At that time, even Han Lin joked that his body was like Iron Man's.

Since it was his first time at the hospital, Han Lin was a little confused about the procedures. And since he wasn't one to ask for directions, he wandered around the hospital like a headless fly. After walking for a short while, Han Lin stopped and carefully looked at a familiar figure standing not far away.

It was Zhao Ziming! He never expected to run into her here. All of Han Lin's past resentment towards Zhao Ziming, and his vows to make her suffer the next time he saw her, vanished in an instant. Now, Han Lin most wanted to know how Zhao Ziming had been these past two years, and why she was at the hospital.

Zhao Ziming stood at the door of the examination room talking to the doctor. After a while, she said goodbye to the doctor and turned around. Han Lin was startled and immediately ran a few steps, hiding behind the corner. Han Lin himself couldn't understand why; he clearly wanted to see her, but his body instinctively moved away from Zhao Ziming. Perhaps it was because Zhao Ziming's words from before were still etched in Han Lin's mind. Perhaps it was because Han Lin felt he wasn't good enough for Zhao Ziming. Or perhaps…

Zhao Ziming walked towards Han Lin, who then shifted his body slightly towards the wall. However, just as Zhao Ziming passed by, Han Lin couldn't help but glance at her.

This glance filled Han Lin with countless questions and shock. Zhao Ziming looked so much more haggard than she had two years ago, her face as pale as a sheet. What had she been through? Was she not doing well? These questions suddenly flooded Han Lin's mind. Han Lin really wanted to rush over, grab Zhao Ziming's arm, and demand answers. But he held back…

Han Lin walked to the door of the consultation room Zhao Ziming had left and glanced at the sign. The sign read "Hematology Department" in large characters. Wang Shen took out his phone, searched online for information about the treatment scope of the hematology department, and after hesitating several times, knocked a few times on the open door.

"Please come in." The doctor in the consultation room glanced at Han Lin, who was standing at the door.

"Let me see your medical records first." The doctor saw Han Lin walk up to him, stretched out a hand, and asked Han Lin for his medical records.

"Doctor, I'd like to ask what illness that patient had?" Han Lin smiled at the doctor.

"Are you a family member of the patient? If not, this is the patient's privacy, and I have no right to tell you." After hearing Han Lin's words, the doctor turned his head and resumed working on the medical records at hand.

"I'm her boyfriend. I recently noticed that she wasn't doing well and even suddenly broke up with me. If I hadn't happened to be at the hospital today, I wouldn't have known that she had a health problem." Han Lin, posing as Zhao Zimo's current boyfriend, hoped to get information about Zhao Zimo's condition from the doctor.

The doctor put down his pen and looked up at Han Lin again. "Your girlfriend has had this illness for at least three years, didn't you know that?"

Faced with the doctor's questioning, Han Lin didn't know how to answer and could only silently lower his head.

Three years? Han Lin calculated the time and suddenly realized why Zhao Ziming had broken up with him. There was no transfer of affection, no materialism, it was all because Zhao Ziming didn't want to be a burden to Han Lin. But what kind of illness did Zhao Ziming have that would make her give up on Han Lin?

The doctor sighed and continued, "Your girlfriend has a problem with her blood; to put it simply, it's leukemia."

"Leukemia!" Han Lin repeated the three words in surprise.

"However, her condition isn't particularly serious, and it's been well controlled, which is why it's been able to last so long. But..." The doctor paused when he said "but."

"But what?" Han Lin stared anxiously at the doctor.

“Her condition has been unstable lately, and you should be able to sense that she’s not doing very well. If we can successfully find a matching bone marrow donor, there might still be hope. But…” The doctor paused again when he said those two words.

"Doctor, this is a matter of life and death, can't we just speak frankly?" Han Lin was almost in a state of agitation. Right now, all he wanted was to know how to save Zhao Ziming. He just wanted to get to Zhao Ziming's side immediately and ask her why she didn't even have the courage to trust him.

"The biggest difficulty in bone marrow transplantation is finding a suitable match, and currently our database doesn't have a suitable match for him. Secondly, the cost of treatment is quite high." Seeing Han Lin's anxious expression, the doctor stopped hiding anything and explained Zhao Ziming's current situation clearly.

Han Lin talked with the doctor for quite some time, only getting up to leave when another patient entered the consultation room. The cost of leukemia treatment isn't astronomical, but it's certainly a significant burden for Han Lin at this point. Han Lin threw his brand-new medical record card into the trash can and walked out of the hospital building.

The weather had been perfectly fine just moments before, but suddenly it started pouring rain again, just like that afternoon many years ago. Han Lin gave a wry smile, picked up his phone, and typed in the phone number he had memorized.

As Han Lin pressed the numbers, he was worried that Zhao Ziming might have changed her phone number after all these years. But after hearing the beeping sound of the phone, Han Lin felt relieved.

Soon, the call was connected.
