After Avery and Van's successful operation and their continued internship at the hospital, their relationship faced a major challenge. A female doctor from another department fell in love with Van and started getting closer to him.

Avery heard the rumors about the female doctor and immediately began to think about how she would handle the situation. Fear filled her heart, and she didn't know how to handle her emotions anymore.

One night, Avery felt overwhelmed and unable to cope. She left their room to get some water and passed by Van's office. She caught a glimpse of the female doctor and Van inside, seemingly engaged in a conversation.

Inside her heart, sadness and jealousy screamed. She tried to hold back the tears, but she couldn't help the pain in her chest. She made her way to their room, closed the door, and buried her face in her pillow.

Van knew Avery and how much she cared and hurt. He tidied up his office and searched for Avery in their room. When he arrived, he saw his partner crying and swearing that it would be the last time she would experience this kind of pain.

"I'm sorry, Avery," Van said as he approached, "I didn't mean to hurt you. That female doctor showed interest in me, but I promised you that I would remain faithful to our relationship."

Van opened their door and approached Avery. He caressed her hair and leaned her against his shoulder. "I love you, and I wouldn't trade your love for anyone else. You are my life, and no one else can compare to you."

Avery's tears subsided, and she lifted her face. She saw sincerity in Van's eyes, and her trust in her partner slowly returned.

"Van," she said, gently stroking Van's cheek, "I love you too, more than words can express. I don't want us to fall apart over something like this. I'm fighting for us and our love. But please show that you're not interested in anyone else to prevent the situation from worsening."

Van nodded and wrapped his arms around Avery. "I'm here for you, my love. I won't allow myself to be the cause of our discord. I'll strive to make things right between us. No one can match you."

In the following days, Avery and Van made an effort to confront the challenges in their relationship. They talked and strengthened their trust in each other. They made sure that their love was stronger than any trials they faced.

Amid their work as interns, they succeeded in building a strong bond. They continued to address minor issues and strengthen their love.

As the days went by, they learned that being doctors wasn't just about caring for patients; it also involved taking care of their own hearts and minds. They learned that every challenge and hardship aimed to strengthen their characters and their love.

The story of Avery and Van, starting as medical students who fell in love, continued to evolve and inspire others going through similar trials. They learned that love, trust, and support were the foundations of their relationship and success as both partners and professional doctors.

Avery and Van would experience even more challenges in their profession and personal lives. Changes that would prepare them to face unexpected events and make decisions for their future.
