BLIND TO NOTICE

My boyfriend Brody Wills was an outstanding graduate of the Medical University of Shuostein. Yet, he looked down on me because my family lived on the outskirts of the city, considering me not a true local.

After graduation, I found myself pregnant before marriage, but he forced me to have an abortion. He did it just to marry a wealthy and beautiful local woman.

Little did he know, that wealthy woman was my childhood best friend Rachael Barnett. And outside of the city, all the municipal projects were built by my family.

Brody and I were the perfect couple during our university years. He was the class president, always gentle and humble, consistently ranking in the top three academically.

During our freshman training, I fainted under the scorching sun. While everyone else stepped back in shock, he quickly picked me up and rushed me to the infirmary. Our story of him heroically saving me spread, and we were seen as a perfect couple by our classmates.

Brody came from a poor family, but he never showed a hint of inferiority or concealment. Throughout the undergraduate study, he consistently excelled and received scholarships every year.

He often spoke of how hard it was for his mother, who raised such an outstanding university student all by herself in a remote mountain village. His face was full of pride and joy, though I couldn't fully understand it at the time.

To avoid making him feel inferior, I initially hid my true family background. I only told him I was a local, and my parents ran a small convenience store.

We attended the Medical University of Shuostein, the top medical school in the nation.

My father didn't want me to study medicine, as it was too demanding, and he didn't want his only daughter to endure such hardships. But becoming a doctor had been my dream since I was a child.

Brody would occasionally ask casually, "Didn't you say you're a local of Shuostein? Why do I rarely see you go home?"

I would always brush it off with a laugh, "My home is quite far from the city center; it's too inconvenient to go back."

Our student days ended quickly.

I planned to undergo three years of training at a hospital to officially become a doctor. However, Brody received an offer from Strioca Pharmacy Group.
