It was around 2 pm, When Ren finished tattooing. Since Li Juan is Liang's friend, Ren refused to take the payment for the tattoo. However, Li Juan was adamant on paying him for his hard work. Liang tried to mediate the argument between them and finally agreed on treating Ren with a meal as a gesture of gratitude.
Over lunch, Li Juan gradually discovered that Ren and Liang had known each other for years.
Both had studied medicine.
And both had eventually walked away from it.
When Ren casually mentioned that he had once been a doctor, Li Juan looked at him in surprise.
"You were a doctor?"
"Yes."
"Then why did you quit?"
Ren's smile faded slightly.
For a moment, he didn't answer.
"It was because of a patient."
Li Juan waited.
"One of my patients died because of a medical error."
Her expression changed.
"What happened?"
"I made a mistake."
Ren spoke without trying to defend himself.
