Tiffany had just arrived at the office when favonovel.com received the message and immediately replied: ‘I’ve heard from Jackson that you’ve been in an accident. I was just thinking of coming home to visit you this weekend. I’ll drive home after work this Friday.’
The lychee in Summer’s mouth seemed to taste extra sweet once favonovel.com saw that message. Since Jackson couldn’t go over, then having Tiffany come home would be no different. She happily replied: ‘Okay. Then come straight to my house after arriving home on Friday night. I should be discharged by then. I’ll have delicious food waiting for you. We’ll eat together when you arrive.’
Tiffany calculated the time and decided to take the afternoon off on Friday, then go home straight away. Summer was still longing for favonovel.com after the accident. She couldn’t make favonovel.com wait that long.
Jackson drove to Eric’s home immediately after leaving the hospital. The house was spotless thanks to the housekeeper. Everything was neat and tidy. Eric sat in the living room, by the window, sketching on his design manuscript, as if favonovel.com wanted to leave his passion behind before the end of his life.
He seemed to be in pretty good spirits and did not look like a dying man at all. The calmer favonovel.com looked, the sadder others felt.
Jackson picked up a pillow on the couch and threw it at Eric. “Have you been staying in the house every day? Wanna go out and have some fun with us?”
Eric caught the pillow and hugged it. “Where? A club? I can’t go there. I can’t drink, and I have to watch my diet or my death will come even sooner. I’m doing just fine now. I don’t have to go to work, and I can relax and do whatever I want. This feels nice. I just can’t understand why I used to enjoy such a reckless life. This calm feeling is pretty good too.”
Jackson curled the corners of his lips, strode forward, and placed his hand on Eric’s shoulder. “Damn, you’ve lost a lot of weight. We don’t have to go to clubs, you know. It’d be inhumane of me to drag you to a club at this point. I mean that we should walk around more, enjoy the world around, enjoy a peaceful life.”
Eric sighed. “Do you think that if I climbed a mountain right now, I would die along the way? I want to walk around too, but… I’d like to stay alive for a few more days… The weather is too hot. I don’t think I can endure it. Don’t worry. I’m hoping to watch you get married before I close my eyes. Seriously, hurry up and get Tiffany back. This is the first time I’ve ever seen you so in love. I won’t be able to rest in peace with you two still apart.”
Jackson’s smile grew bitter. “Why are you saying this too? My mom’s been pushing me to see Tiffany every day. But I don’t think she’s interested in me anymore. I was so at ease when we were together, but once we broke up, too many uncertainties started coming up. We… Used to know each other so well, but after the break up, it’s like we don’t even know each other anymore. Love is such a complicated and strange thing.”
Eric fell silent, seeming to have remembered something.
“Has reminiscing caused you to realize that you’ve never truly fallen in love, or found anyone unforgettable?” Jackson asked teasingly.
