Chapter 7
On the plane, my head leaned against the window, watching the scenery outside gradually recede, until a backward inertia brought the plane into the blue sky.
I even had a sense of unreality.
From this moment on, I no longer had my own nationality, I would dedicate myself to the whole world.
After more than ten hours of flying, my companion and I landed exhausted.
Completely different from the peaceful and tranquil scene in the country, this place is filled with warfare and armed conflict, where even a slight mistake could cost one’s life.
While taking a nap in the car, the medical team leader who came to pick us up introduced us to the situation of the destination.
At the same time, he gave each of us a gun.
He said that while saving lives is important, more important than the mission is one’s own life.
This sentence deeply touched my heart.
I suddenly remembered that during the years I was married to Freddy, I saw him as my everything.
At that time, I also considered him more important than my own life.
Unfortunately, the young man in my memory eventually died, died at the age when he loved me the most.
And I, and he, also came to a complete end.
In the future, I will not be influenced by his emotions anymore, I will not be sad and upset because of his intimacy with Selena, and I will not give up my own future and career for him.
For the rest of my life, I only cried for myself, laughed for myself, and lived for myself!
Soon, we had already arrived at our destination.
On the muddy road, many wounded soldiers were sitting on the ground, with their arms or lower legs covered in bloody wounds.
I just learned that this area had just experienced a bombing.
And these wounded soldiers with shocking wounds that I saw were only the least injured in that disaster just now.
Because the operating room was already full, they had to place them on the roadside.
The present me has thrown all thoughts out of my mind and quickly ran over to help them bandage up.
And this kind of work was just the beginning.
In the following months, everything I experienced every day seemed to be challenging my worldview.
At the same time, I became more and more firm in my heart.
I never regretted coming here, nor did I regret becoming a doctor without borders.
Until one day at noon, a colleague gasped and said, “Someone is looking for you.”
I thought it w
an injured person, and as I was about to leave, my colleague continued, “It seems like he came from a foreign country.”
