Chapter 16
“We’ll discuss it later.
I’ve got a lot on my plate right now.
”
After that, silence.
Declan never responded again.
Hannah frowned at her phone, puzzled.
Hadn’t Declan been desperate to marry Eliana? Why did it feel like she was the one pushing him now?
Lydia poured a glass of milk for Hannah, then furrowed her brow in thought.
“Oh, I almost forgot, a few days ago, Mr.
Campbell asked if you’d be interested in resuming your old job.
And if you are not inclined to, he hoped you could mentor at Starrywinter University.
He even offered to be your assistant.
”
Taking a sip of milk, Hannah shook her head as she wiped her Lips.
“Having a senior citizen as my assistant? That’s just not going to work.
”
“So, should I tell him that?”
Pausing to wipe her mouth again, Hannah pondered, “Tell him I’m not inclined to reclaim my old position for the time being.
It’s been ages since I’ve used a scalpel.
My hands might be a bit shaky.
Being a mentor sounds plausible.
But can I sit in on other people’s classes? I’ve been out of the loop for so long.
Who knows how many research papers Mr.
Campbell and the others have published by now?”
Lydia rolled her eyes playfully.
“Seriously, even if you took a break for decades, you’d still outperform most.
”
When Hannah walked into the hospital, Saul Campbell had just finished a surgical procedure.
At the sound of a knock, he hastily swallowed a mouthful of tea and blurted out, “He’s not available.
Try again tomorrow.
”
Feeling awkward, Hannah replied, “Alright, Mr.
Campbell, I’ll leave these items at your doorstep.
Please remember to grab them later.

Just as Hannah was about to leave, the door swung open.
Saul gazed at her, astonished.
“Hannah? What brings you here? Please, come in!”
Eagerly ushering her inside, he continued, “I had a critical situation in surgery today and wasn’t sure who to talk it over with.
Lucky you’re here.
I’ve got a ton of questions!”
Once she entered, Saul immediately handed her a stack of papers and reports, essentially pinning her to an academic chair.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
While fixing tea beside her, he said, “It’s a rare visit.
I need to pick your brain as much as I can today.
Who knows when I’ll get another chance?”
Hannah set down the papers and reassured him.
“No need to worry, I’m divorced now.
”
Observing Saul’s stunned expression, she elaborated, “I’m here to discuss the mentor position you mentioned to Lydia previously.
”
Hannah seemed composed, but a rush of conflicting emotions surged through Saul.
Years ago, as an intern, Hannah had displayed a remarkable aptitude in her first surgery.
She had then, however, sacrificed a promising medical career for a man.
This decision remained a persistent ache in Saul’s heart.
Upon learning of her divorce, his initial concern was for her emotional well-being.
He had feared she might make another drastic sacrifice.
Relieved to see her stable, he exhaled softly.
