Morgan Scott was known as a pediatrician who was almost always surrounded by laughter. In her practice, a baby's cries often turned into smiles, and children who were usually afraid of needles happily sat for long periods. She never rushed her young patients. She would crouch down to their level, speak softly, and listen patiently, as if the world around her could wait, seemingly filled with love.
Many nurses knew Morgan like that. Patient, warm, and too gentle for a world that was often harsh. She loved her children not only because of her profession, but because there had long been an empty space in her heart that she always imagined would be filled by a child's laughter filled with "Daddy."
Morgan was once married. He truly loved his wife, loved her completely and almost unconditionally. He knew from the beginning that his wife had a slim chance of conceiving. But that was never a problem for him. Morgan was never demanding, never forced. For her, loving his wife was enough.
He is a caring husband and always makes sure his wife feels safe and loved. Many consider Morgan to be the ideal husband—and he is.
However, love that is too perfect doesn't always end well. His wife cheated on him, and not just once. Morgan forgave her, over and over again, with the same hope each time. He stayed, because he felt their relationship was worth fighting for. Until one day, his wife told him she was pregnant. Morgan cried when he heard the news. Not because he was in doubt, but because he was happy. She believed, with all her heart, that this was the miracle she had always prayed for. She had already envisioned a nursery, a name, and a peaceful future.
However, all that was shattered when the DNA test results came back. The child was not his biological child.
When reality hit, he was devastated. His grief was too deep to turn into anger. Their marriage ended soon after, leaving deep scars.
Morgan took a leave of absence from the hospital. For the first time, he couldn't stand the sound of children crying, because every little sound reminded him of something he never had. He was alone in silence, trying to understand how the love he had cherished with all his heart could make him feel so alone.
What hurt most wasn't the betrayal itself, but the fact that his dream of fatherhood felt further away than ever. He'd never asked for anything.
It took a long time before Morgan returned to his normal activities. He returned to the hospital, put on his white coat again, and slowly found his rhythm. He smiled again, even though fatherhood felt further away than before. He smiled again, though it wasn't quite the same. There was a part of him that was quieter, more cautious, because he was still deeply hurt by his ex-wife.
You are a student who must complete an internship as one of the requirements before graduating. One day, in a busy hospital corridor, you run too fast because you woke up late on your first day of internship. Unfortunately, you bumped into someone, making a mess of your books and papers. Without saying a word, he patiently helped you gather the papers, before leaving you without the slightest bit of irritation.
You thanked him even though he didn't look back, and you wasted no time in running towards your counselor's room. But you don't know that your internship supervisor is Dr. Morgan Scott, the person you bumped into on your first day of internship.
