Lv Gang, 47 years old, Chief Surgeon at the Royal Hospital of Hong Kong!

Wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, Lv Gang appeared scholarly and elegant, and at this moment, he was sitting in his office, frowning at a facial reconstruction file in his hands!

The file contained a sketch of a woman's face, showing only the basic outline but expressing a firm result for facial analysis!

After looking at it for a long time, Lv Gang showed a trace of exhaustion in his expression, rubbed his eyebrows, and leaned back in his chair!

"Zihan is just too stubborn, if she doesn't get reconstructive surgery in time, once the scars heal and the facial muscles set, it will be troublesome!"

Lv Gang was Zhang Zihan's attending physician, and he was also her father's college classmate!

Ever since Zhang Zihan was admitted to the hospital, he had put all his effort into trying to cure her, but unfortunately, Zhang Zihan would rather die than undergo the plastic surgery, and she was even less willing to see her father or any of her family members!

"Is it worth it for a dead man..."

Lv Gang could never understand, he couldn't see what kind of charm that guy had to make Zhang Zihan so infatuated!

She would rather destroy her own beauty than agree to the engagement arranged by the Huangfu Family!

Especially now that Hong Kong was in turmoil, filled with denunciations and curses directed at that man!

Even though Lv Gang knew the man was not as despicable as the rumors suggested, he still felt no fondness for him; after all, he was the one who had harmed Zhang Zihan to this state!

"Lucky that this damn kid is dead, if he weren't, I'd definitely beat the hell out of him!"

Lv Gang clenched his fists in anger, but just then, he suddenly felt a chill as a draft blew through the room – the door of the office had unexpectedly opened!

He wanted to get up to close the door, but at that moment!

A slap, swift as lightning, came from behind Lv Gang and struck his face firmly!

Smack!

The sound was extremely loud and crisp, and before Lv Gang could see what had happened, he felt an intense burning pain on his face, his vision went dark, and he passed out in his chair!

Ye Feng stepped out from behind Lv Gang, glancing indifferently at the doctor who had vowed to beat him up.

He then awkwardly took off the doctor's white coat, removed his gold-rimmed glasses to put on himself, and stared intently at Lv Gang's face!

After only a moment, Ye Feng's appearance started to change slowly; his skin sagged, making him look like he was aging rapidly!

Soon, Ye Feng's appearance became identical to Lv Gang's!

Now, wearing a white coat, gold-rimmed glasses, and a similar hairstyle, if Ye Feng stood next to the doctor, it would be hard for anyone to tell who was the real Lv Gang!

After checking himself for any discrepancies and finding none, Ye Feng then pushed his glasses up on the bridge of his nose, picked up a maple leaf flower beside him, and walked out the door!

After leaving the room, Ye Feng remembered to lock the door before he slowly made his way to the VIP intensive care ward!

Before reaching the VIP intensive care ward, Ye Feng saw many reporters being blocked in the hallway by bodyguards, and when these journalists saw Ye Feng coming, they quickly surrounded him!

"Doctor Lv, can you tell us about Zhang Zihan's current condition?"

"Doctor Lv, is there still hope for Zhang Zihan's recovery? Does she still need facial reconstruction?"

"Doctor Lv, it's said that Zhang Zihan is about to get engaged to Huangfu Ling, as Zhang Zihan's elder, what do you have to say about this?"

...

These were all entertainment journalists, incessantly asking their questions.

However, Ye Feng was utterly indifferent, not saying a word, squeezing through the crowd and heading toward the ward!

Outside the hospital room, two female bodyguards stood quietly at the door, and when they saw Ye Feng approaching, both of them nodded in acknowledgment.

"You two, leave for a while. I have something to discuss with Zihan! Come back after an hour," Ye Feng said to them in an indifferent tone.

The two female bodyguards looked startled, but knowing that Doctor Lv was Zhang Zihan's father's classmate and an uncle figure to Zihan, they could only nod and then leave the place.

With no one else around, Ye Feng clenched his fists tightly, his heart filled with trepidation, anticipation, worry, excitement, and fear.

Whew!

After taking several deep breaths, Ye Feng finally pushed open the door and walked in.

As he entered the VIP intensive care room, Ye Feng stopped dead in his tracks, gazing at the woman curled up in the corner.

Zhang Zihan now appeared much thinner than before, her whole body bony and skeletal. At this moment, she was curled up into a ball, sitting on the floor in the corner of the room.

Her jet-black hair hung down, concealing her face, but through the strands of hair, one could still see the reddish scars crisscrossing her face in a chaotic mess, nearly rending her entire face unrecognizable.

At that moment, Ye Feng's eyes fixed on an item in Zhang Zihan's arms, and tears suddenly streamed down his face.

It was a pair of worn travel shoes.

Zhang Zihan clung tightly to those travel shoes as if they were a child's most beloved toy, or as if she were trying to meld the shoes into her very being.

"Your shoelaces are undone, just like your heart. Let me tie them for you..."

In Ye Feng's mind, echoes of past sweetness still resounded; he used to love tying her shoelaces, and she used to adore the way he tied them for her.

He had promised to tie her shoelaces for a lifetime...

"Are you not wearing shoes because you resent me for not being able to tie them for you?"

At this moment, tears flooded from Ye Feng's eyes as he gazed at the dispirited Zhang Zihan in front of him, the sourness in his heart slicing through like a knife, shredding it to pieces.

Zhang Zihan just sat quietly on the ground, her head not lifted, as teardrops continuously fell.

It seemed as though she had been crying for days, or perhaps for years, the sorrow in her bearing heart-wrenchingly painful to witness.

"Uncle Lv, stop trying to persuade me! Tell my father, I won't have plastic surgery, I won't agree to that arranged marriage! If you keep pressuring me, I will die..."

In Zhang Zihan's voice, there was no hint of emotion, sounding like someone whose heart had died. The unspeakable sadness in her tone was agonizing and heartbreaking.

"Girl... girl..."

Ye Feng was completely choked up; he looked at this foolish girl, wondering why she always had to be so stubbornly foolish to the point of being distressing and heartbreaking.

Upon hearing the word 'girl,' Zhang Zihan's curled-up and frail body shook violently, the tears in her eyes falling faster and fiercer.

'Girl,' a term that only he would use to address her, only him...

"I'm hallucinating again! I miss him so much..."

Zhang Zihan shook her head desperately, as drop by drop, her tears wetted the floor, her heartbroken appearance utterly devastating to behold.

"Girl, it's... me..."

Ye Feng's heart ached more and more, he quickly stepped in front of Zhang Zihan, rubbed his face vigorously, restoring his original appearance:

"I'm back..."

That sentence made Zhang Zihan's tender body completely freeze in place.

Her head slowly lifted, and when she saw the face of the person in front of her, she was completely stunned!
