CHAPTER 50

On Wednesdaye Yu LianEver since I stood him up, I hadn’t been in touch with Xiao GuanI heard fro Xiao Guan around evenabout itHowever, Xiao Guan still deeply resentedhim down, so I didn’t really want to see hih, Annie, how co to CGP?Why don’t you consider co?We are still short on translators,” Xiao Guan said

“Thanks, but it’s okayDon’t you always ask ent?” I s of that, I have three booklets that Iauction booklets into my hand without any hesitation, “Since you’re free anyway, it’s better to ht?”

I looked at him speechlessI wanted to say: Xiao Guan, do you kno much pain I’m in?I have plates and screws inserted and my body is swollen, yet you still want me to do translations for you?!Not even CGP would ask me to do that!

Xiao Guan and others chatted with me for a while and proet out of the hospital to get rid of the bad luckThey then leftAfter all the chatter, everything returned to silenceMy heart sank bit by bit like the intravenous drip dripping down into htly outside, but my heart was sour

Even Xiao Guan came to visit; Li Chuan, where were you?

Caretaker Auntie Li ca my body clean compared to an actual bathShe soaked the towel into ater, and wiped my body bit by bitShe es like she was an archeologist exa a fe my body, she helped wash my hairShe used a round bucket to hold the water and washed e into a new hospital gown

It was like that every dayAuntie Li would helpthree tiI, on the other hand, was i’s novelsI would pick up my pen and do a bit of translations every now and then, but I would feel tired every few pagesEason came to see me every day and ate lunch and dinner with meHe couldn’t be of , so his main purpose was to “help” me eat my foodAs a result, I was forced to drink a bowl of pork bone soup h I was deteretarian, Eason’s mom’s pork bone soup was deliciousFurthermore, I wanted to recover faster

On the second week,became abnormally swollen and it hurt so much that I couldn’t sit up, eat, drink, or sleep wellI had gotten bone infla a fever, andIt hurt so much that I needed Pethidine to relieve the pain

So this was how it felt to be sickI had always been healthy and active since I was littleI had great reflex and loved every sportI had never wounded myself before, so the bone inflammation hurt like hell

I had to receive intravenous drip and take antibiotics every day, and had to get the pus drained and taken outI didn’t dare to take a look at ; a hideous scar was left on itThe doctors who came to check up on it always had a stiff face, so I suspected that not er, they would say that I would have to saw offScenes from the movie, Bethune, and scars on Li Chuan’s body started flashi+ng across my mind

No matter how many times I told Eason not to come visitthe month he took leaveSometimes he would stay for the entire dayHe attee my clothes a few times, but I always turned him downI didn’t let hi how he really wanted to helpbut couldn’t, I said, “Eason, can you help me to cut my hair?The shorter the betterI have too much hairIt’s inconvenient for Auntie Li to wash it”

Eason held the scissors in his hand happily and gave me an awful haircutI was embarrassed to see others for a few days, but I didn’t dare bla the days; I marked a cross on every day that I was in the hospital

A month had passed; Li Chuan still hadn’t come visit me

My heart becaht due to the pain, I thought about how heartless Li Chuan was and cried untilthat Li Chuan probably didn’t know that I was sickBut he couldn’t possibly not have known; even the cleaning lady knew and all the employees of CGP caot injured?

I then co that Li Chuan was probably sick hiht have returned to Switzerland alreadyBut the ladies froossip every week; they said that Li Chuan went to work at CGP every day while I was sick and even held a few sBut they also said that Li Chuan was not well; he was on his wheelchair ht again that even if Li Chuan’s heart was as cold as steel and refused to coive me a call

Rene neither ca back to the days that I was together with Li Chuan, I had never fallen sick before, not even catching a coldBut whenever et me to lie down on the bed, and then he would cook eMasterLi Chuan always cared a lot about others, didn’t he!?

Two months after the motorcycle accident, Eason had no choice but to return to work at the labAlthough he technically didn’t need to be there for work, he had classes and analyses to do, so he couldn’t come see me every day like he did in the first uilty fro him not to come anymore because I was taken care of by Auntie Li, as professional, attentive to detail, careful, and patientI really didn’t need another person to be at reedHe still ca as beforeHe would go to the bookstore and buy s to help h the dayOne ti Zheng Dynasty”When he saw that I was about to fall asleep, he startedhis students’ essays at my bedside and chatted every now and then with me
