examinations.
It was already past three in the afternoon when all the projects had been completed.
Frederick, now the first assistant surgeon in the neurosurgery team at Philex Hospital, stood by as the chief surgeon a foreign specialist with extensive experience in craniotomy–reviewed the examination results
After a thorough assessment, the chief surgeon outlined the operation plan and scheduled the craniotomy for the day after tomorrow, in the morning. The sequelae were consistent with the domestic doctors‘ findings, including the risk of amnesia.
Mira had already anticipated this outcome, her expression unreadable as she processed the information.
“Are
you hungry?” Frederick asked, removing his white coat and replacing it with a long black–and–gray jacket “There’s a well–known Japanese restaurant nearby, I think you’ll like it.”
Mira nodded and got into his car. As they drove, the conversation drifted back to the high school days. Frederick had been in his third year when she was just starting high school Back then, Mira had joined the school’s astronomy club, where she met many like–minded students, including Frederick
He had always been the go–to person for anything related to astronomy–an encyclopedia of knowledge. From supernova explosions to black holes devouring stars, Frederick had a rare gift for explaining even the most complex concepts in ways that were vivid, engaging, and easy to understand
Mira had always enjoyed listening to Frederick’s explanations Back then, she was already in a relationship with Elias, and she couldn’t help but share these fascinating discussions with him on their way home from school
But Elias would often sneer dismissively. “What’s the point of all this theoretical nonsense? I don’t understand
why anyone would care about it. What truly matters is using your hands to help ordinary people.
At the time, Mira felt a deep, indescribable sense of loss. She found herself at odds with Elias, but when he finished speaking and hurried to help an elderly man move boxes, she couldn’t help but feel that, in his own way, Elias wasn’t entirely wrong
Then one day, when Elias saw her standing next to Frederick in front of an astronomical telescope, his anger flared “Mira, you’re my girlfriend. Can’t you keep your distance from other guys?”
That moment marked the end of Mira’s involvement with the astronomy club.
She had always thought that Frederick would pursue a career in astrophysics, but instead, he chose to study medicine. It wasn’t entirely surprising–his grandfather had founded a pharmaceutical company, and both his parents were surgeons
Three years ago, Mira married Elias. At that time, Frederick happened to be visiting his family in Maryland, but instead of attending their wedding, he simply sent his best wishes.
“By the way, the surgery requires family signatures, When will your husband be here?” Frederick asked, his eyes on the road as he drove
Mira looked out the window, her voice calm. “Sir, I divorced Elias a few days ago. He doesn’t know that I’m fe for surgery.”
She turned to him with an almost impassive expression. “Could you sign as my legal representative? If it’s inconvenient, I can find someone else.”
Frederick was momentarily taken aback. “Convenient.” His response was swift, but the surprise lingered on his face. “How could you… Never mind. We don’t have to talk about it.”
Mira’s voice was steady, almost detached. “He cheated. So I chose to divorce.”
At that, Frederick’s grip tightened on the steering wheel, his knuckles going white. He knew that Mira and Elias had been childhood sweethearts–he had seen their bond blossom over the years. During high school, Frederick
had been childhood sweethearts–he had seen their bond blossom over the years. During high school, Frederick had gotten a little closer to Mia, and Hias had eyed him with jealousy.
Later, when he learned that they had gone from school uniforms to wedding dresses, Frederick couldn’t help but
feel a pang of emotion.
The cat pulled up in front of the restaurant, and Frederick parked smoothly. The waiter greeted them and led
them to then seals
As promised, the food at the Japanese restaurant was authentic and flavorful Frederick smiled as he tasted the
first bite

“Si, this is for you “Mita reached into her bag and pulled out a thick notebook, placing it on the table in front of
