The events between Avery and Van, Avery couldn't help but think about Liam and Sophia's past relationship. Although they were no longer part of Avery and Van's lives, doubts and fears still lingered in Avery's heart.

Days passed, and every time Avery saw their faces, she couldn't help but feel a deep sense of anxiety. What really happened in their past relationship? What were the reasons for their breakup?

In Avery's mind, she couldn't live without knowing the truth. So one day, she intentionally looked for a chance to talk to Sophia at the hospital. She prepared a reason to approach Sophia when she saw her.

Because Avery and Sophia were becoming friends, Sophia didn't hesitate to talk to Avery. "What's up, Avery? Do you need something?"

"Ah, well, I didn't get what I wanted from you. I just wanted to know a little detail about you and Dr. Liam. I just want to know what really happened between the two of you."

Sophia was surprised by Avery's question. She didn't expect Avery to ask about their past.

"Liam and I, we loved each other," Sophia answered with emotion. "We were together in med school, and that's where our love blossomed. In the beginning, our relationship was filled with happiness. Joy was present in every moment we were together."

But as time passed, problems and differences arose between us. "We had misunderstandings that we didn't properly address. Our love slowly faded in our relationship. We lacked communication and couldn't compromise."

Sophia smiled slightly as she remembered their past moments with Liam. "But I can't deny that we were also happy in every moment we were together. We continued our relationship despite the problems, hoping that it would be fixed someday."

Avery's heart softened as she listened. She never expected that Liam and Sophia had their own share of pain. She didn't know if she should train herself to forget her worries. But she knew she couldn't ignore them.

For a moment, Avery found hope in her heart. She decided not to let her fears consume her. She realized that what mattered most was the present and the future of her relationship with Van.

When Avery and Van saw each other, Avery didn't mention her conversation with Sophia. Instead, she poured all her love into Van and let go of the fears in her heart.

Van noticed the change in Avery's disposition. But he didn't ask, trusting that Avery's decisions would lead to something better.

Although there were days when fears and doubts resurfaced, Avery learned to let go of them. With each passing day, their love grew stronger, building a solid foundation in their relationship.

In due time, Avery realized that Liam and Sophia's past relationship was just a part of their history. What mattered was the present and the battles they faced as a couple.

And with their desire to continue supporting each other, being patient, understanding, and loving, Avery and Van continued their journey as a couple in the medical world and in the lives they served.

Liam and Sophia's past relationship, although it brought fear and anxiety to Avery, served as a warning that true love is not based solely on the past but on the present and future of a relationship. And with their ongoing understanding and love for each other, Avery and Van continued their joyful journey as a couple in the medical world and in the lives they served.
