Glaiza Katarina Alcantara dreams of becoming a doctor. When she was a child, her father underwent brain surgery. At that time, she feared they might lose him, but the surgery went well. Since then, her sole ambition has been to become a doctor-a great one, just like those who operated on her father. Her dream is to work at Magnus Medical Center, where her father had the surgery. It's renowned as the best medical center on Isla Socorro, offering top-notch medical care that attracts patients not only from the local community but also from nearby islands and provinces.
While pursuing her dream, she experienced the pangs of heartbreak for the first time. She loved him with all her heart, willing to give even her soul. She was prepared to fight for their love, ready to defy the world for him. She loved him deeply, yet there's a love that can never be enough. A love that was never needed. A love that wasn't meant to last forever.
But she never thought that her heart was capable of beating for someone else, even if it was barely beating. Every step she took seemed to lead to him, and all her rational thoughts faded away whenever he was near. She was afraid that she would fall in love with him along the way.
