When Orm wakes up in a hospital but finds herself staring at her own unconscious body, she realizes she's stuck between life and death-her spirit roaming the sterile halls with no one able to see or hear her.

Alone and confused, she stumbles into the quiet presence of Dr. Ling Kwong, a no-nonsense internal medicine doctor with tired eyes and a warm heart she hides behind clinical precision. Intrigued and comforted, Orm begins to follow her around the hospital, drawn to her voice, her kindness, and the way she always visits Room 303-even though Orm never had any visitors.

Ling doesn't know she's being haunted by the ghost of her patient. Or that she's slowly becoming the reason Orm's soul clings to the edge of life.

A story of quiet yearning, otherworldly connection, and the hope that love-no matter how improbable-can be strong enough to bring someone back.

Prologue "Not all heartbreaks come from betrayal. Some grow from choices made in silence." They were happy once. Truly. Stupidly. Brilliantly happy. After the rivalry, the tension, the guarded hearts-Lingling and Orm had found each other. Two doctors, one heart. They stood in the dawn light outside the hospital, palms pressed, quiet smiles blooming. And for years, they made it work. Lingling soared in internal medicine-panels, journals, awards. Orm, ever proud, filmed her behind the scenes, smitten and steady. They shared shift schedules, socks, even toothbrushes. Fans adored their chemistry-Orm's teasing, Lingling's glares that always ended in a blush. But slowly, life crept in. Lingling picked rounds over date nights, grant proposals over cuddles. She missed anniversaries. Ignored Orm's soft pleas to rest, to breathe, to be there. Not out of malice. Just... neglect. Lingling believed love would hold on its own. But Orm was tired of holding it alone. "I miss us," Orm said once while Lingling typed away. "You never look at me the way you look at your career." Lingling didn't flinch. "My work matters." "And I don't?" Orm whispered. She didn't say no. She said nothing. That silence became a wound. Orm stopped filming at home. Stopped asking. Stopped hoping for a space in a life Lingling was building without her. Until one night, suitcase in hand, Orm stood by the door. "Do you even see me anymore, Ling?" Lingling didn't look up. That was all she needed. She left-no slammed doors, no last plea. Just a note on the fridge: "You chose your calling. I just wish you made room for me in it. - O." Lingling came home late. Read the note under harsh fluorescent light. And for the first time in years, she realized- She'd won every award. But lost her heart. Cross My Heart, Suture Yours: CODE RED
