Though they didn’t know each other before, their chance encounter at the bar led to further interaction. Because the first impression was terrible, Lin Zhixiao couldn’t trust Gu Wei and insisted that Gao Xi was her father’s attending doctor. Even though Gu Wei repeatedly explained that he and Gao Xi were colleagues and he had the right to understand Lin Jianguo’s condition, she remained unconvinced. At that moment, Gao Xi entered and, as always, defended Gu Wei.

After the Lin family left, she reminded Gu Wei that he shouldn’t interfere with someone else’s diagnosis. Although Gu Wei might have acted out of goodwill, patients often struggle to accept reality. Medical disputes might arise, and if reporters were involved, the hospital’s and doctors’ reputations could be ruined. Gu Wei didn’t overthink it and simply considered the patient's condition. He comforted Gao Xi, asking her not to get worked up.

Since Lin Jianguo had severe gastric ulcers, hospitalization was necessary for observation and treatment. As for Gao Xi’s efforts to retain Gu Wei in the department, they were in vain. Gu Wei had firmly decided to transfer, and no one could change his mind. Compared to the father and daughter’s tough stance, Lin Zhixiao’s mother leaned more toward Gu Wei’s viewpoint. Sitting on the staircase, she sighed that she worried too much for the family.

In fact, she was indirectly pressuring Lin Jianguo to undergo further tests. Seeing his wife cry, Lin Jianguo quickly grabbed the hospital gown and promised to cooperate with the treatment. Lin Zhixiao joined in agreement. The department head held an impromptu doctor’s meeting, asking each attending physician to present their patients’ cases. When it was Dr. Yan’s turn, he asked Gu Wei to share his thoughts. Gu Wei refuted Dr.

Yan’s diagnosis and offered a reasonable alternative, earning the director’s praise before the meeting ended. Lin Zhixiao came to Gu Wei to inquire about her father’s condition but overheard Dr. Yan's sarcastic remarks at the door. He implied that Gu Wei rose through nepotism, as the vice president’s future son-in-law, casting doubt on his abilities. Meanwhile, Gu Xiao brought flowers to his date with Xiao Shan, but she mysteriously left after a phone call, making him even more curious.

After learning Gu Wei’s secret, Lin Zhixiao became more prejudiced, convinced he was a hypocritical doctor who pretended to care about patients but was driven by self-interest. Gu Wei didn’t care about her opinion and was used to such judgments. He went to see the vice president with his application. The deputy vice president believed Gu Wei was a surgical talent.

He was sure that if their late mentor Liang Zhou were still alive, he wouldn’t want Gu Wei to impulsively switch departments. He decided to hold onto the application for now and would consider forwarding it only if Gu Wei insisted again. As his transfer wasn’t approved, Gu Wei was frustrated and returned to his office. Seeing the notes Liang Zhou gave him made him feel even more conflicted.

When Gu Wei took out his surgical tools, strange sounds filled his mind, and his hands trembled uncontrollably. Despite the time that had passed, he still couldn’t overcome his trauma and dared not face his mentor’s widow, only watching her silently from a distance. Unbeknownst to him, she had already noticed him. Unable to resist his wife’s persuasion, Lin Jianguo was finally admitted to the hospital. When it came to choosing an attending physician, Lin Zhixiao was unsure.

That night, she called Xiao Shan from the rooftop, hoping she could find a reliable gastroenterology expert. Xiao Shan promised to find someone suitable, and Gu Xiao, overhearing the conversation, immediately mentioned that he knew a doctor and could make an introduction. That night during the hospital stay, Lin Zhixiao sent her mother home to rest and stayed behind to care for her father. After visiting hours, Dr.

Du found Lin Zhixiao still waiting outside and kindly let her into the doctors’ lounge. Later that night, Gu Wei came in to change clothes and unexpectedly ran into Lin Zhixiao. Knowing her character, he didn’t scold her and simply let her stay while he spent the night in his office chair. The next morning, Lin Zhixiao noticed a note on the desk along with an ice pack and a layman-friendly medical book. Thinking Dr.

Du had left them, she thanked him, leaving him completely confused. Gu Wei got a call from Gu Xiao and initially didn’t want to go, but upon learning the requester was Lin Jianguo’s daughter, he reluctantly agreed to meet. Lin Zhixiao and Xiao Shan arrived at the café first. While Gu Xiao went to pick someone up, they gossiped about Dr. Gu. In Lin Zhixiao’s view, Gu Wei was just a pretty face who rose through connections.

Unluckily, Gu Wei overheard her words. Xiao Shan, embarrassed, pulled Gu Xiao aside to scold him. Caught between his cousin and his crush, Gu Xiao had no choice but to suffer in silence. Gu Wei calmly sat down to talk with Lin Zhixiao. He couldn’t understand why she was so prejudiced, judging him based on hearsay and deciding he was an unreliable doctor.

He shared the story of the Khwarezmian messenger to explain that people shouldn’t be as arbitrary as kings. As a family member, she should be the one who best understands Lin Jianguo’s health. Back at the hospital, Lin Zhixiao learned that the boy in the next bed, Qiu Qiu, had a serious condition and needed immediate surgery. Unfortunately, his family couldn’t afford it and had decided to discharge him.

After spending time with Qiu Qiu, Lin Zhixiao grew fond of him and suggested her parents donate money. Dr. Du brought a bank card to Qiu Qiu’s mother. It contained Gu Wei’s personal salary and donations he had collected—enough to cover the surgery. Lin Zhixiao was shocked. In her mind, Gu Wei was cold, expressionless, and selfish. Dr. Du immediately defended Gu Wei. Suddenly, a commotion erupted in the hallway.

Lin Zhixiao looked over and saw Gu Wei leading a team of doctors and nurses into Qiu Qiu’s room, efficiently managing the situation. Her impression of him was completely overturned. Because it was urgent, Gu Wei returned to the operating table as the chief surgeon. Though the operation was successful, he still trembled after leaving the OR, unable to suppress his lingering fear.
