Nan Yu bit her lower lip lightly, her body trembling slightly.
"Because that year, my mentor died in an accident."
Huo Juanyan immediately recalled Nan Yu investigating Gu Chuxin.
Nan Yu continued: "That year, I completed the task my mentor gave me, and I wanted to go back to tell him that I had successfully graduated."
"But at that time, there was a major accident in City C that urgently needed doctors. Despite my mentor's objections, I insisted on going to City C to practice medicine."
"By the time I returned from City C, I learned that my mentor had died."
She didn't even get to see her mentor one last time—only his cold tombstone.
Huo Juanyan felt Nan Yu's anguish and slowly extended his hand, gently placing it on the back of Nan Yu's hand for comfort.
"Nan Yu, I will help you uncover the truth behind your mentor's death. I will give you closure."
Nan Yu lifted her tear-filled face and slowly looked at Huo Juanyan.
"Thank you."
