Chapter I
Mayo Clinic. One of the most influential medical institutions in the world and represents the highest level of medical care in the world. It is a frontrunner in the field of medical research. Although called a "clinic", the Mayo Clinic is actually a center of integrative medicine with a long history. Being able to serve here is the highest honor for a medical practitioner. But it's such a place that countless doctors dream of. But it was the beginning of a terrible nightmare.
On a cold winter night covered with hoarfrost and snow. Zoe, a nun at St. John's Convent in Minnesota, found an abandoned baby at the door. In a cold wind of nearly minus forty degrees Celsius. The abandoned baby was only wrapped in a thin blanket. The exposed skin has taken on a purple-black color. The breath of the abandoned baby has also been like a thread. Seeing that this young life is about to pass away.
With a glimmer of hope, the kind-hearted Zoe carries the abandoned baby back to the convent. and called Dr. Brandon from the Mayo Clinic to treat the abandoned baby. When seeing an abandoned baby who has severe frostbite. As the premier surgeon at the Mayo Clinic. Brandon shook his head helplessly. However, at Zoe's strong request. He also performed simple medical treatment on the abandoned baby.
All Brandon did to comfort Zoe. But what he didn't expect was that. The next morning, the abandoned baby miraculously regained his vital signs. It is even possible to eat already. Brandon who got the news couldn't believe his ears. Such severe frostbite. Speaking from his experience. Even adults don't necessarily make it through. Not to mention being a baby who hasn't been weaned yet. This makes Brandon, who has a persistent passion for medicine, take a keen interest in this abandoned baby who escaped death. At the same time, the number of visits to St. John's Abbey naturally increased. It's just that while focusing on abandoned babies. Brandon also gradually began to notice the beautiful and gentle Zoe. Brandon, who has always devoted his entire time to medicine, develops a love for women for the first time.
The abandoned baby gradually got better under Zoe's nursery. Frostbitten skin also began to get better because of Brandon's treatment. But when the frostbite heals. The baby's skin was bloodless. It's as if there's no blood flowing under the skin. But being able to save his life is already a blessing in misfortune. This weird sequelae caused by frostbite is naturally nothing. The blanket that wrapped the abandoned baby was embroidered with two letters... XB. Brandon deduced from the bones of the foundling baby that his parents were likely from China. Xiao Bo.
Xiao Bo grew up in the monastery day by day. Unlike other children. Five years of life in the monastery. He never cried. And never touch toys that can make other children ecstatic. It seems that the cold night that he was abandoned five years ago did not take his life. But it froze all the emotions of this child. Such an unlikable child. Others naturally stayed away. And the only one who can communicate with Xiao Bo. It's Sister Zoe.
Zoe also didn't like Xiao Bo's unkind expression. She began to teach Shaw to keep a smiling countenance. For Zoe's request, Xiao Wei will never refuse. So he got into the habit of smiling. Just don't know why. It was obviously a friendly smile, but there was an indescribable chill on Xiao Bo's face.
