I wanted to go in, but I was blocked by relatives of Carter Family.
Jessica’s son warned me, “if you meddle, I’ll hit you!”
“Forget it.”
When I wanted to break in, a man pulled me.
I looked back and saw Ming standing behind me.
Because he was wearing a white coat, he was not conspicuous in this hospital at all.
I lowered my head and walked slowly to Sherry’s bed and held her hand.
It felt the same way I used to hold Daniell’s hand.
She was dead but not cold. She still had a temperature.
Sherry was in a coma for a long time and could only survive on a ventilator and nutrition needle, so she was skinny.
This was the first time I had touched Sherry in this period of time.
I touched her skinny hand and suddenly I doubted what I had always believed.
I held Sherry’s hand and murmured, “Ming, if a person becomes a vegetable, is she dead? Was it wrong for me to stubbornly try to keep her alive on a ventilator? She’s skinny. Was she in pain at that time?”
“You are filial anyway.”Ming put his hand on my shoulder.”You just want to be nice to her.”
“Is that so?”
“Your grandma will be moved by your persistence.”
Ming comforted me.
I didn’t know if it was because of his presence that my sad heart had recovered.
I took Sherry’s hand and stood next to her.
Jessica was still arguing behind me.
After a long time, a doctor came and said, “I’m going to push the patient away.”
Then he pushed Sherry’s bed.
I looked at him in panic.”Where are you going to push her?”
Maybe it was because the hospital and Jessica quarreled. The doctor didn’t answer me and kept pushing.
I was after him. Jessica stopped me.”He’s going to the morgue. Are you going to the morgue with him?”
“Yes!”
I said immediately.
Jessica looked at me and let go.”Go!”
By this time, the doctor had pushed Sherry’s bed away.
I wanted to follow him, but a strong arm held me from behind.”Don’t go there. It’s not a good place. You girls are easy to get sick.”
“But…”
“Tomorrow the body will be transported to the funeral home. You have a chance to see her. Don’t worry.”
Ming was holding me.
His voice was magnetic and warm. It comforted me at this time.
I stood there and watched Sherry get away from me. Eventually she was pushed into the elevator by the doctor. But my heart was numb.
I couldn’t cry or shout.
I didn’t even have the ability to think.
It seemed that everything now was not a reality, but a dream. When I woke up, Sherry was still alive.
By the time I turned around, Carter Family was gone.
Ming drove me, but when I got back to my senses, I found that the car had entered York No. 1.
I explained awkwardly to Ming, “I’ve moved. I don’t live here.”
“I know.”Ming stopped the car and got off to open the copilot’s door for me. He said, “you live in my house.”
“What?”
I sat in the car and looked at him in surprise.
Because I woke up in the middle of the night, my brain was dull.
Ming looked at me and held his glasses.”I have a guest bedroom. I’ll worry if you go home alone.”
“…”
“Don’t worry. Sean likes you and I won’t do anything to you.”
Ming smiled.
His words hurt me like a thorn.
Sean liked me? It never happened.
I was sure Ming wouldn’t do anything to me and he took me to his house because he was really worried about me.
It was almost five o’clock in the morning. I didn’t need to sleep long, so I went upstairs with him.
When we got upstairs, I saw him take out a key to open the door.
He didn’t open the door so he changed the key.
York No. 1 was an upscale community. The keys were specially customized and had unique patterns on them.
He had two keys. One could open the door and the other couldn’t.
I didn’t think too much and teased him, “it seems that you have more than one house in the community.”
“Ha ha, actually I am a hidden rich man.”
Ming was also joking with me.
We went into the house.
Ming took me to the guest bedroom and said, “you are the first one to live in this bedroom. Don’t worry. Everything is new.”
Then he went out.
I looked around and found Ming’s house empty.
There was no superfluous furniture in his house. It was neat like a model house.
But his bed and quilt were soft. I felt sleepy after lying in bed.
I quickly took out my cell phone and set an alarm clock and went to sleep.
I woke up naturally.
I opened my eyes and thought for a second to think about what happened!
I picked up my cell phone and saw it was 11:30!
God!
I got up quickly. As soon as I opened the door, I saw Ming sitting neatly on the sofa with a cup of coffee in his hand.
He saw me and smiled, “are you awake?”
“I’m going to work.”I changed my shoes and said, “I set the alarm clock, but I turned it off by accident.”
Before I had my shoes on, I heard Ming say, “I’ve called Sean and asked him to ask for your leave.”
“What?”
My hand was in the air.
I turned to Ming. He looked innocent.”Isn’t he your boss? Can’t he ask for your leave?”
Of course he could.
But I didn’t need him to ask for my leave.
I didn’t know if I should thank Ming or be depressed.
Ming still said softly, “there are toothbrushes for guests in the bathroom. You can wash your face first and then we can go out for lunch and then go to work.”
“I…”
“Is there anything urgent at work?”Ming looked at me and didn’t force me, “then I’ll drive you to the company.”
Actually, I was not in a hurry.
Ming helped me last night so I should treat him to lunch. I took off my shoes.”No. Let’s have lunch together.”
Then I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth.
When I brushed my teeth, I felt that I had forgotten something important, but I couldn’t remember it.
When I was sitting in Ming’s car to go to lunch, I suddenly thought, “my laptop!”
