The Chen family were very prominent, they had a wide range of connection in China, because of their influence most of the V.I.P patients in the hospital were high ranking military officers, politicians and prominent businessmen. They had always had high expectations for Chen Kai, he had to keep his relationship from his parents knowing that once they find out that he is dating a girl with an ordinary background they will make sure she disappears from his life.

Yu yan was also aware of this fact but she loved Chen Kai so much that she didn't want to think of what the future holds until it comes, while they were both in university they were competitors, they never met each other for a long time until they were both summoned to their lecturer's office. The first time Chen Kai met Yu yan, he was infatuated with her beauty, he turned to look at the girl who had been competing with him for the first position, he was instantly mesmerised at the sight of her.

​​

She had an impeccable glossy skin and a decanter shaped figure, her crescent-shaped eyebrows looked down on her velvety eyelashes, she also possessed a dainty nose and shiny halo white teeth, her crescent-shaped eyebrow slightly inclined as she saw him staring at her, he quickly turned his face away.

After the meeting with the lecturer he asked her for her name and WeChat, at first she was reluctant to tell him her name but he later succeeded in getting her contact and name, two months after their meeting he asked her out, by then she had already developed feeling for him so she accepted him. She found out about his family background one year after they started dating which caused them to break up for two months, she realised that her feelings for Chen Kai was stronger than she thought, so they got back together. After they graduated, they had both planned to work in the same hospital but Chen Kai parents made him go for medical training abroad for two years, even though he didn't want to leave Yu Yan, he still had to go because of the pressure from his parent.

Xiaomeng parents were just as influential as Chen Kai parents which made her a perfect match for him, they had known each other since they were young since their family had a close relationship, their parents had planned for them to get married to each other while they were in high school, they both attended the same school all through their childhood years, she also had feelings for Chen Kai but to him, she was like a younger sister and nothing more when she found out that Chen Kai has feelings for Yu yan while they were in university, she tried all she could to stop him from dating yu yan. Chen Kai warned her not to tell his parents of their relationship, he threatened to hate her forever if she told his parents. She was afraid of his threat which made her keep their relationship a secret, she knew that his parents will find out eventually so their relationship was hopeless. Her parents were politicians, they were also business allies with the Chen family, so their marriage was something Chen Kai could never avoid. She was also jealous of yu yan medical skills, although yu yan is a general surgeon she was skilled in performing all types of surgery, including ones that could only be performed by specialist surgeons. Unless the situation was urgent, yu yan was hardly ever allowed to operate on V.I.P patients, those who operated on V.I.P parents had a wealthy background, even when she did, they were the ones who received all the credits. An Ke and Li Chen also came from a wealthy background but they decided to use their own abilities in making their achievement.

. . . . . . .

Yu yan was bothered by the fact that Chen Kai has not called or texted her for some months now, she checked her phone every day for his text and also sent him texts, but she hasn't received any reply for a long time, she sat down on her bed and rested her head on the headboard, her room was decorated with purple items since purple was her best colour, she thought about the different excuse that could make Chen Kai unable to contact her but the excuse feared the most was that Chen Kai had forgotten her, while they were in university most people thought that Chen Kai only loved her for her beauty, the reason they concluded that her beauty was the reason he loved her was because after she won the title of the university beauty Chen Kai asked her out. She thought of their times together and decided that if Chen Kai loved her only for her beauty, he would have broken up with her long ago, she texted him again telling him to call her as soon as possible.

She stood up from her bed and went into the bathroom to take a shower, as soon as she was done with showering, she put on her pyjamas and sat at her dressing table to put on her facial treatments, she suddenly heard her phone ringing so she stood up from the dressing chair walked to her bed to get her phone then she just picked the call without checking who was calling but she was hoping that the one calling her would be Chen Kai but it turned out to be An Ke.

"hello Yu Yan," An Ke said in an excited tone

"is it you An Ke," she asked with a hint of disappointment in her voice.

"Of course, didn't you check who it was before you picked the call and why do you sound so disappointed," An Ke asked wondering what was wrong with Yu Yan, she knows that the only reason why she might sound like that is if she was expecting something or someone.

"Its nothing, I thought it was someone else," Yu yan answered.

"Anyways, I called to inform you that our remaining friends are coming back on Thursday so we have to celebrate their return this Saturday," An Ke said with a delighted tone.

"Ok, thanks for the information," Yu Yan replied, from her tone, An Ke could feel that she had little or no interest in what she had just told her but she didn't want to ask her.

"Yu Yan, I don't know what has been bugging you these days but you need to take care of yourself alright," An Ke said in a concerned tone, she wanted to ask her te reason why she was sounding moody but from what she knows about Yu Yan, if she wanted to tell her, she would have said it even before she asks.

"I will, goodnight" yu yan answered then she ended the call and dropped her phone on the stool beside her bed.

She was about to return to the dressing table when she received another phone call, this time she checked who was calling, she couldn't recognise the number but it seemed like an international number.

"Hello," she said to the unknown person on the phone.

"Yu Yan, it is me, Chen Kai," the caller said in a soft tone but the voice sounded familiar to her, but hearing the person say he was Chen Kai was too good for her to believe, she sat on the bed as tears trickled down her cheek, Chen Kai was wondering why she didn't say anything after hearing his voice so he was worried.

"Are you okay Yu Yan?" Chen Kai asked in a worried tone but instead of answering him, she started crying loudly.

"Why didn't you contact me all this while I was worried about you," she said while crying.

"Are you crying, I am sorry, we went to volunteer in a military zone without mobile services, I am sorry please stop crying," he said, she had missed this part of him, he has always dreaded the sight of her crying so every time she cried in front of him, he would make every effort to cheer her up.

"I thought you had forgotten me, I was...I was scared that you no longer loved me," she said as she cleaned her tears.

"Of course not, how could I forget you, I missed you so much every day and I wished I could see you but I just couldn't," Chen Kai said to reassure her

"Then when are you coming back, you have been abroad for so long that I almost can't remember your face," she asked, then she sniffed her nose to stop herself from crying.

"Don't worry I am coming back very soon, although I am not sure of the certain date and month, I am very sure that in three to four months time, I will be back," Chen Kai answered.

"That's good then, when you are sure of when you are returning, you have to tell me first," she said smiling broadly.

"Alright, Yu Yan I have to go now I will call you when next I have the chance," he said then he ended the call without waiting for her reply.

" I wonder when next time will be, I just want him to be by my side," she said in a soft voice then she dropped her phone on the table and returned to the dressing table to continue her facial treatment.

That one phone call has definitely brought her back to life, just hearing his voice once has reassured her that he still loves her.
