Zeta suddenly called out to Stella when she was about to leave. “Wait!”
Zeta stood up and removed her white coat. “I happened to be done with work. Why don‘t we leave
together? The endocrinology department should be off work too. Do you want to have a meal together?”
Stella stiffened. “That‘s not necessary...” She could barely manage a smile. “Let‘s talk.” Zeta walked up to
her. “You‘re really similar to a friend of mine,” she could not help but exclaim again.
“Really?” Stella avoided her eyes. Zeta patted her shoulder. “Although I can‘t help you much as a doctor,
I‘m just an ordinary woman without my white coat. Can I chat to you as a woman?”
Since she had said so, Stella could not avoid her anymore. She could only reluctantly nod. The two of
them went to the hospital cafeteria. While on the way, someone said hello to Zeta.
Stella could tell that Zeta was a gentle and casual person in private and relaxed a little.
When they arrived at the cafeteria, they got their meals and sat opposite each other. Zeta still could not
get used to seeing Stella‘s face. “Ella ...” she called out to her. Stella looked up. “What‘s wrong?” “It‘s
nothing.” Zeta put down her cutleries. She still felt a little emotional. “I can‘t help but think of Stella when I
see your face....” “Don‘t worry about it.” Stella smiled at her. “You‘ll get used to it.” Yvonne reacted the
same way at first. She was hesitant to speak to her because of her face, but she finally accepted the fact
that she was Ella as time passed. Time could always heal everything, including those deeply rooted
habits. Besides, she was just someone they met by chance. After taking two bites, Zeta suddenly asked,
“By the way, you have a boyfriend, right?” Her seemingly unintentional sentence suddenly made the
atmosphere tense.
Stella‘s eyes flickered, and she gave a vague response.
Zeta did not seem to expect such a reaction from her. She frowned a little. “You were asking for that kind
of drug in the consultation room earlier... You have a boyfriend, right?”
Stella‘s mouth twitched a little. She was silent for a moment.
Seeing that, Zeta could only ease the tense situation. “It‘s fine if you don‘t want to talk about it.”
Stella curled her lips, but she did not smile. “It‘s not something worth saying...” “Are you and your
boyfriend not in a good relationship?” Zeta asked tentatively.
She had seen too many of these women. They tried so hard to fix their relationship with their significant
others at the cost of their own health. However, the end result was often terrible. She did not know if Ella
was one of those people. However, her face reminded her of the poor woman before, so she could not
help but want to help her.
This was something out of her job scope. She could have left her alone, but she could not. Stella took
two bites and suddenly lost her appetite. “I‘m sorry, doctor. I remember I had something to do, so I have
to go now...” she said and was about to get up. Zeta looked at her in surprise. “You haven‘t even finished
eating… You‘ve only taken a few bites.“
