Chapter 35: Timeless love
Michael (In the Past)
I was young, so young that I barely knew what I was doing. I had just finished my medical studies. My degree was my pride, but also my burden. Being a doctor was everything I had ever dreamed of, but what no one told me was how hard it would be. Not just the work, but the expectations. The weight of responsibility, of following the rules, of living up to what society expected of me.
When I arrived at that small hospital where I was assigned my first job, I had no idea what was waiting for me. The atmosphere was tense, the patients always in need, and the more experienced doctors had no patience for someone as young as me, who was just beginning to understand what it meant to be in the battlefield of medicine.
And then I saw her. Rachel.
