Ashes of Longing

While I was seeing patients in my clinic, Ellie Wilson, the most beautiful girl from my college class suddenly rushed in and dropped to her knees in front of me.

"My dad has early-stage cancer. Please, you have to save him. I know you're an expert in this field."

Out of kindness, I agreed.

Then she begged me to front the cost of the surgery, saying her family was poor and she would repay me in installments once she started earning a salary.

I agreed again.

However, the day before the operation, her father, Sebastian Wilson, died in the hospital room.
