The story begins with Ah Fun (Nick Cheung) and his in-show girlfriend Eva (Gigi Leung) returning from Kenya after volunteering with LifeForce. Nick Cheung had been asked by Eva many times to accompany her to Kenya and help out, but he's been too busy in Hong Kong treating wealthy people. Ah Fun takes Eva out to dinner and talk of how beautiful it was in Kenya and how they should go there some time after their marriage. However, fate strikes them as Eva is run over by a car after their dinner trying to pick up a keyring that Ah Fun had given to her.
After the incident, Ah Fun visits Kenya because of Eva's influence. On his way to the LifeForce camp, he encounters a pregnant woman in trouble who is about to give birth to a baby boy. Ah Fun stops and helps this woman, the baby boy coming to earth touches him and he decides to become an obstetrician so he can help give birth to more babies.
Eight years later, Ah Fun has a clinic opened to serve the people in the neighbourhood, sometimes even for free. He has changed completely from being competitive and greedy for power to helpful and cheerful. The story continues on about how they (him and his friends) help out at LifeForce.
His life changes when Hong Kiu (Sonija Kwok) comes along. Hong Kiu is in love with Ah Fun but Ah Fun still cannot forget Eva. After many things (including a one night stand), Hong Kiu and Ah Fun finally get together and they marry. But tragedy strikes again when Hong Kiu is diagnosed with womb cancer while she is pregnant. The doctors advise her to get rid of the baby and cut the tumor, but she refuses; instead, she waits until the baby is born and then accepts the surgery.
The surgery ends tragically and Hong Kiu is now in a coma. Ah Fun continues to visit her with their daughter every day at the same time. After persistent waiting, she awakes and the family travels to Kenya.
