Chapter 8 - To become an astronaut

Liam never had news nor tried to find Seraphina after their last encounter. He believed that if fate would allow it, they would eventually crossed path and meet again. And if that happened he knew for sure he'll pursue her.

Liam was at a charity event sponsored and organised by Jin Medical Group for cancer patients. The event was grand as a lot of elite families attended.

The hall was grand and lively. Liam socialised with the other wealthy young masters as he was the representative of the Jin family. When he excused himself from the group of young masters, he past by a group of young misses. Accidentally, as he passed by them he overheard their conversation.

"Can you believe that Seraphina? She went overseas to be an astronaut!" A girl said while laughing mockingly.

"Gosh! That girl just gets weirder by the day!" They let out a series of laughters before they noticed Liam near them.

"Nathalie isn't that Liam?" A girl whispered at the other girl named Nathalie. As she heard Liam's name, She turned her sparkling gazed where the other girl was pointing at.

When Liam heard his name he immediately left without a word. When he heard their conversation about Seraphina his heart sank. She was getting further and further away from him. She was beyond his reach. He felt stupid for letting his fate decide for them because obviously not everything you hoped for would always go your way. He was hurt. The love that never even started —ended. But the story goes on.

7 years after, Liam Jin at age of 26 being a natural genius in medicine backed up by his family resources he became a junior doctor at Jin Medical Group. Having a strong footing at the industry he was transferred at Jin Medical Group in country Y and was appointed as a medical director.

One fateful night, Liam received a call from his father Logan Jin. The call wasn't long but it had a huge impact on him. He then received an email after the call and he immediately opened the email regarding a medical report. He was in disbelief. 7 years of no news about her but he would've thought that the first news he'd received regarding her was her accident medical reports.

Back to the present time,

Liam who was still standing outside Seraphina's room was snapped back to reality as a female nurse called his name.

"Director Jin?"

"Hmm?" He replied before he turned his gazed away from his hand.

"CEO Jin was waiting for you in your office, Sir." She softly informed Liam Jin as she follow him. Liam knitted his brows but didn't say anything. He just nodded as he strode his way to his office. Reaching his large with a minimal interior designed office, he spotted a middle aged man wearing a formal suit perched at a one-seater sofa in his office.

"Father." With his usual monotone voice he bowed slightly as a sign of respect.

"How was she?" Logan Jin didn't beat around the bush as he inquired about Seraphina's health.

"She would be discharge soon." Liam plainly replied to his father. Logan nodded as he was satisfied with his answer. He glanced at his son who silently sat at another two-seater couch in his right side. Seeing his son's expression he spoke.

"Say it." Logan knew Liam very well. He knew something is bothering him. He was like that 7 years ago.

"I want to be transferred back to Jin Medical in country C."

"Why?"

"Seraphina will be discharge soon. I want to keep in check on her health."

"Liam, don't forget you're engaged." Logan reminded his son as he knew what Liam was thinking.

"I know." He plainly answer. Studying his son unchanged calm expression he sighed.

"I'll think about it. Im leaving." Liam send his father off but before Logan got into his car he spoked.

"Son, the Yue family had a complicated family history. Don't implicate the Jin family with their affairs." Logan reminded him before he shut the car door closed. Liam stood silently staring at the speeding car disappeared from his sight. Hearing the same words his father said 7 years ago, he tightly clenched his fist as he felt an indescribable pain in his heart.
