But being away from the field for seven years, both medical theory and technology had evolved significantly, making my once-familiar skills obsolete.

Besides studying theoretical knowledge, I frequently reached out to old classmates to help me understand the latest radiology equipment in various hospitals.

Knowing I was applying for a radiology position in a district, my classmates nodded with awkward smiles. "Good, good."

But their faces showed mixed reactions—surprise, doubt, and even schadenfreude.

Once a top student who became a chief surgeon at General Hospital shortly after graduation, I was the envy of everyone.

Now, I couldn't even get a radiology job.

Seeing me so busy, my son curiously asked, "Dad, are you preparing to go back to school?"

I patted his head.

No, I was preparing for a war.

In this war, my son, Arianna, and her 'idol' Noah would all be involved.
