Reflecting on the incident during her hospital stay, Li Yaxi feels deep shame and truly apologizes to everyone.

"I’m sorry, Dr. Xie." Li Yaxi says, weighed down by guilt. She should have apologized to the medical staff long ago, not waiting until today.

Xie Wanying certainly accepts her apology and hopes that this patient will soon pull herself together, living up to the heartfelt effort put forth by friends.

The two girls walk further away. Wei Shangquan and several other boys glance at Dai Nanhui: Why aren’t you saying anything? Aren’t you acquaintances? Why let Student Xie be concerned instead of you?

However annoying Li Yaxi’s past actions may have been, she’s now a patient, and, as a doctor, one must show some care. All that can be said is that Student Xie’s professionalism is top-notch.

Dai Nanhui resignedly lowers his head, casting a brief glance at Li Yaxi’s back.

Since she fell ill, her body seems slimmer and weaker, and accompanying that, her little princess arrogance has vanished. Her newfound humility truly surprises him.

At home, his mother never mentioned her. He never asked either—what would he ask? Since childhood, he hasn’t had a good impression of her.

If he had to talk to her, he couldn’t think of anything to say.

The boys look at his facial expression, thinking: Just like Cao Zhao said, this guy seems like a big baby.

Xie Wanying parts ways with the patient at the hospital entrance.

"Thank you, Dr. Xie. After listening to you today, I’ve learned a lot. I will continue to study hard." Li Yaxi says earnestly.

Only by understanding science can human tragedies be avoided.

"Go back and have a meal." Xie Wanying urges her with a smile.

Li Yaxi smiles, waves goodbye, and leaves to catch a cab back to the university.

Click? A camera shutter sound?

Xie Wanying turns around.

About five meters away, a tall, thin young man in a brown jacket stands near the lamp post in the courtyard. His crew-cut hair, gentle and refined facial features, and an ID tag around his neck complement the black backpack on his shoulder, and he holds a branded camera in his left hand.

His appearance is recognizable—it’s the reporter who previously rushed into the hospital with Zhang Li, who reportedly wasn’t caught by Zhang Li. So, he hadn’t left the hospital but was hiding here.

Xie Wanying ponders what his purpose was in taking her picture.

Receiving her sharp gaze, Li Huaien’s heart pounds like a drum as he realizes for the first time how bright a girl’s eyes can be, like a sword. He waves his right hand and says, "I didn’t take your picture. I was just adjusting the focus and accidentally hit the shutter."

Not fooled by his couple of sentences, Xie Wanying asks, "Were you following me?"

Isn’t it known that quietly following someone is impolite?

Li Huaien’s face reddens with embarrassment as the doctor’s gentle voice points out the truth.

Initially, he recognized her as the doctor from TV who rescued the Hao family’s mother and son. He wanted to take her picture to report back to the newspaper. But just as he was about to take it, she spotted him, forcing him to stop.

"This, this—" Li Huaien, like a three-year-old who’s done wrong, looks around for help, ultimately admitting his mistake, "I’m sorry, it’s my fault. Rest assured, I won’t photograph you without your permission again."
