Chapter 2 — Six Weeks of Love

2 “If you agree,” he suddenly said, “I will raise the baby.” I turned around in surprise, unable to believe my ears. “What did you just say?” “I said, the baby is for me to raise.” He stood up, walked in front of me, "You don't have to shoulder the burden alone." "What do I depend on to support myself?" I asked again. He moved his lips, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he just blurted out: "Anyway... don't suffer alone." Looking at that complicated expression, I suddenly understood something. "Doctor Luc, you don't think this baby is yours, do you?" I deliberately laughed coldly, "We broke up three months ago." His face immediately turned pale. "No..." "Of course not." I interrupted him, "I'm not that lacking in men." After saying that, I turned and walked out of the clinic, leaving him standing there dumbfounded. Leaving the hospital, my legs were weak. Just now, being calm in front of Luc Canh Trinh was just pretending. Just seeing him brings back all the memories that were once buried. Luc Canh Trinh and I used to be classmates at the Medical Academy. Back then, he was first place all year, and I was third. He is handsome, studies well, and is a male god in the eyes of many female students. As for me, I'm just an ordinary girl, my only advantage is my hard work. Third year anatomy class changed everything. That day I had to have heart surgery. I was originally afraid of blood. Seeing the heart covered in blood almost made me faint. It was Luc Canh Trinh who caught me in time. "Are you okay? Do you need to go to the medical room?" That gentle voice rang in my ears. At that moment, my heart trembled slightly. From then on, I began to proactively approach him. Let's go to the library together, eat together, and do experiments together. Gradually, we became more acquainted. In my fourth year, I finally mustered up the courage to confess. "Luc Canh Trinh, I like you." He paused for a moment, then laughed: "I know." "So what is your answer?" "I like you too." That time was the happiest time of my life. We went to school together, practiced together, and stayed up all night studying for the practicing certificate exam together. He would buy me late night food when I studied until late at night. He would massage my shoulders every time I was tired from practice. "Mac Han, after graduation, let's take the entrance exam to the same hospital." One spring sunset, he said. “Okay, we will be together forever.” I used to believe that happiness would last forever. But during the five-year internship, everything changed. His father, Professor Luc, was a famous professor at the academy. During a medical dispute, a patient's family accused him of accepting bribes. Although it was later proven to be a false accusation, the Luc family's reputation was seriously damaged. What's worse is that the denunciation also mentioned me, saying that I received a national scholarship thanks to my relationship with Luc Canh Trinh, implying that I was also involved in that matter. During that time, Luc Canh Trinh became quiet and we saw each other less and less. Until one day, he found me. "Mac Han, let's break up." I thought I heard wrong. “What?” “We're not compatible.” He avoided my eyes, "You deserve someone better." "Luc Canh Trinh, what are you talking about? Is it because of your father's business? I don't care!" "I care!" He suddenly shouted, "I can't implicate you." "I don't implicate you!" "Enough!" He turned and left, "It ends here."
