Inside his chest, the heart that belonged to Leonore’s beloved, would once and for all, vividly beat.
Then her mission would also be accomplished here.
Leonore left in a hurry and heard Hamish had fainted. She was afraid that he had a problem with his heart. So, she did not even have time to take her personal belongings and rushed out in a panic.
The girl dragged her miserable body back to the hospital and unsurprisingly she received pity and sympathy from everyone.
"Leonore, have your mind died? What's so good about someone like Hamish that he deserves to treat you this badly?" said her best friend, Nicole Chapman, with a tone full of resentment, but her hands treating Leonore’s wound were incredibly gentle, afraid of hurting Leonore.
"You are an authoritative doctor in this city! You know, a lot of hospitals are eyeing you and fighting over you to become an expert medical staff in their hospital. But you refused them and went to find Hamish!"
Leonore could only smile lightly and say nothing. But the next moment, she felt a sudden pain in the wound and hissed.
Nicole had already gotten used to Leonore’s acquiescence, and she resigned herself to continuing to clean Leonore’s wounds. Hearing her hiss, Nicole unconsciously frowned in worry.
"Alright, drink some water, and listen to how hoarse your voice is."
Feeling her best friend care, Leonore took the glass of water and gave her a sincere smile.
"It's been so long, but you still can't forget him?"
Nicole’s voice was concerned, and Leonore’s thoughts were pulled away in an instant.
Apart from Nicole, no one knew that Leonore, who was now known as Hamish's bootlicker, once had a boyfriend named Benjamin Kiehl.
Benjamin and Leonore had known each other since childhood and they were childhood sweethearts. Even the parents of their families were old friends. Their family were harmonious and they were happy.
Almost everyone assumed that they were a destined couple.
However, fate played a cruel trick. When their parents were planning to go on a trip, they unfortunately encountered a series of car accidents.
Leonore’s father was standing in front of her mother when the truck lost control and crashed into the driver's seat.
He was pierced by steel bars and died on the spot. Benjamin's parents, who were sitting in the backseat, also died as a result of failure to rescue them.
Only Leonore’s mother, who was well-protected, was sent to the ICU, spending high medical expenses and struggling to survive.
Looking at her mother's pale face, Leonore, who had rushed back from abroad, broke down and cried countless times, hating everything she had learned in her life but being unable to save the mother who gave birth to her and raised her.
It was Benjamin who accompanied her during the most desperate moments. Even though he was also suffering from the pain of losing both his parents forever, he still comforted the girl with tears in his eyes, saying he would always be with her.
Later, her mother died and left this necklace to her.
The two of them lost everything overnight and became orphans who depended on each other for survival.
On countless dark nights, he was the only belief that kept her alive.
However, when Leonore finally cheered up a little and came to his house with carefully selected gifts, she only saw his unconscious figure.
She suppressed her inner fear and sent him to the hospital, but it was like a bolt from the blue.
Benjamin had a rare genetic disease with few cases found worldwide.
The disease broke out suddenly at this time, and everyone was helpless. No one could come up with a solution to slow the spread of the disease.
He had less than a month left to live.
Leonore had the title of a well-known medical postdoctoral fellow abroad, but she could only watch all her loved ones leave her.
Later on, Benjamin often lost consciousness.
