The Doctor Who Forgot to Live
Summary
Author
Hello my dear lovely readers 😊
Author
This is my new chat story.
Author
Hope you will all like it and enjoy it.
Everyone knows two names.
The country's most brilliant doctor and medical researcher.
The nation's biggest movie star and the only heir to one of the world's most powerful business empires.
They belong to two completely different worlds.
One lives under laboratory lights.
The other beneath flashing cameras.
The other is loved by millions.
When fate unexpectedly forces them to work together inside the same hospital, countless misunderstandings, hilarious clashes, hidden emotions, and long-buried memories begin surfacing.
But neither of them realizes...
Their meeting isn't the beginning.
It's the continuation of a story that quietly started years ago.
Some people heal the world.
The person who saves everyone else is the one who needs saving the most.
Chapter 1 — The Chief Finally Explodes
Aurora Shen (FL)
(staring into the microscope.)
Aurora Shen (FL)
(types rapidly on her laptop.)
Aurora Shen (FL)
(records another observation.)
Aurora Shen (FL)
Mutation level...
Aurora Shen (FL)
Without protein degradation...
Aurora Shen (FL)
The success rate should increase by another 2.8%.
Aurora Shen (FL)
Still not enough.
Aurora Shen (FL)
(continues writing.)
Outside the laboratory...
Several interns whisper nervously.
Intern 1
Been here since yesterday?
Intern 2
She's been here since the day before yesterday.
Intern 2
She only came out once.
Intern 2
To pick up another research sample.
Intern 1
Did she even eat?
Intern 2
I don't think so.
Nurse Mei
(rushes toward the laboratory.)
Aurora Shen (FL)
Without looking away from the microscope.
Aurora Shen (FL)
Leave it outside.
Nurse Mei
It's already dinner time.
Aurora Shen (FL)
Then leave dinner too.
Aurora Shen (FL)
I'll eat later.
Nurse Mei
You said that yesterday...
Aurora Shen (FL)
One more hour.
Nurse Mei
You always say one more hour...
Aurora Shen (FL)
This time I mean it.
Chief Director Chen
(stares at the security monitor.)
Chief Director Chen
How long?
Assistant
Forty-nine hours.
Chief Director Chen
Sleep?
Chief Director Chen
(grips his forehead.)
Assistant
Should I call her again?
Chief Director Chen
I'm going myself.
Chief Director Chen
AURORA!
Aurora Shen (FL)
(still looking into the microscope.)
Aurora Shen (FL)
Good evening, Chief.
Chief Director Chen
LOOK AT ME!
Aurora slowly raises her head.
Chief Director Chen
When did you last eat?
Chief Director Chen
Answer.
Aurora Shen (FL)
Don't remember.
Chief Director Chen
Sleep?
Aurora Shen (FL)
Don't remember.
Chief Director Chen
Blood sugar?
Aurora Shen (FL)
Probably low.
Chief Director Chen
PROBABLY?!
Chief Director Chen
Aurora...
Chief Director Chen
Do you plan to become a patient yourself?
Aurora Shen (FL)
That would be inconvenient.
Chief Director Chen
......
Assistant
(tries hard not to laugh.)
Chief Director Chen
Not one word.
Aurora Shen (FL)
I only need another week.
Aurora Shen (FL)
Three days?
Aurora Shen (FL)
Tomorrow?
Chief Director Chen
You've fainted five times this year!
Chief Director Chen
WHY ARE YOU CORRECTING ME?!
Aurora Shen (FL)
Accuracy matters.
Chief Director Chen
(closes his eyes.)
Chief Director Chen
I raised a genius...
Chief Director Chen
Not a robot.
Aurora Shen (FL)
I'm fine.
Exactly as she says that...
Aurora takes one small step.
The entire laboratory falls silent.
Chief Director Chen
AURORA!!
Chapter 2 - Enough Is Enough
Aurora Shen (FL)
(slowly opens her eyes.)
Chief Director Chen
Immediately walks into the room.
Aurora Shen (FL)
(blinks a few times.)
Chief Director Chen
(crosses his arms.)
Chief Director Chen
Don't "Chief" me.
Chief Director Chen
Do you know why you're here?
Aurora Shen (FL)
I fainted.
Chief Director Chen
Because?
Aurora Shen (FL)
Low blood sugar.
Chief Director Chen
Because?
Chief Director Chen
LOUDER.
Aurora Shen (FL)
I forgot to eat.
Chief Director Chen
Again.
Nurse Mei
(whispers to another nurse.)
Nurse Mei
She's getting scolded like a little child again.
Nurse Lily
But she deserves it this time.
Chief Director Chen
Aurora.
Chief Director Chen
Do you remember what I told you after your last fainting incident?
Aurora Shen (FL)
Eat on time.
Chief Director Chen
Before that.
Aurora Shen (FL)
Sleep properly.
Chief Director Chen
Before that.
Aurora Shen (FL)
Drink water?
Chief Director Chen
(slaps his own forehead.)
Chief Director Chen
You remember every medical journal published in the last ten years...
Chief Director Chen
Yet you can't remember basic instructions for staying alive!
Aurora Shen (FL)
(sincerely.)
Aurora Shen (FL)
Those journals were important.
Chief Director Chen
AND YOUR LIFE ISN'T?!
Aurora quietly looks away.
The room falls silent.The room falls silent.
Chief Director Chen
(sighs heavily.)
Chief Director Chen
Aurora...
Chief Director Chen
You're the youngest chief researcher this hospital has ever had.
Chief Director Chen
You're one of the finest surgeons in the country.
Chief Director Chen
Hundreds of patients wait months just to get an appointment with you.
Chief Director Chen
Thousands of researchers admire your work.
Chief Director Chen
But...
Chief Director Chen
What good is all that...
Chief Director Chen
If you collapse before you're thirty?
Chief Director Chen
(firmly.)
Chief Director Chen
I've made my decision.
Chief Director Chen
Starting today...
Chief Director Chen
You are suspended from entering the research laboratory.
Aurora's eyes finally move.
Chief Director Chen
Your laboratory access card has been revoked.
Chief Director Chen
Your assistant has already been instructed.
Chief Director Chen
No one is allowed to let you inside.
Chief Director Chen
For one month.
Aurora Shen (FL)
The clinical trial—
Chief Director Chen
Other researchers will continue it.
Aurora Shen (FL)
The cell cultures—
Chief Director Chen
Already reassigned.
Aurora Shen (FL)
The experiment isn't finished.
Chief Director Chen
Neither is your recovery.
Aurora quietly lowers her head.
She actually looks troubled.
Aurora Shen (FL)
(sighs softly.)
Aurora Shen (FL)
Owning a hospital means administrative duties.
Aurora Shen (FL)
That takes away from my lab time.
Aurora Shen (FL)
I prefer being just an employee.
Chief Director Chen
(frowns.)
Chief Director Chen
What does owning a hospital have to do with this?
Aurora Shen (FL)
Just thinking aloud.
She had more than enough money to build several world-class hospitals.
But no one here knew that.
She had quietly started investing every bit of her scholarship money into the stock market.
She studied companies the same way she studied medicine.
Her investments multiplied into an enormous fortune.
Enough that money had stopped being a concern long ago.
But she had never told anyone.
Not because she wanted praise.
It wasn't important to her.
Everything else came second.
Chief Director Chen
(grinds his teeth.)
Chief Director Chen
Not anymore!
Chief Director Chen
As the Chief, I am officially banning you from the research lab for the next month.
Chief Director Chen
Your security card is revoked.
Chief Director Chen
And don't even think about climbing through the laboratory window.
Aurora Shen (FL)
I only did that once.
Chief Director Chen
TWICE!!
Aurora Shen (FL)
I stand corrected.
The nurses immediately cover their mouths, trying not to laugh.
Even Chief Director Chen has to fight back a smile.
Chief Director Chen
Since you suddenly have free time...
Chief Director Chen
You'll also be training this year's interns.
Chief Director Chen
If I leave you alone...
Chief Director Chen
You'll sneak back into the lab.
Aurora Shen (FL)
I wouldn't.
Chief Director Chen
You absolutely would.
Aurora Shen (FL)
Probably.
Chief Director Chen
Exactly.
Chief Director Chen
So from tomorrow onward...
Chief Director Chen
Your schedule belongs to me.
Aurora quietly stares at the ceiling.
For the first time in years...
What she was supposed to do tomorrow.
