I asked Jiaoyou to help me find a careful caregiver.
He agreed, but he couldn't help but ask, "What about you and Zhen Zhuo..."
"What is it?"
I calmly retorted.
Wen Jiayou frowned, "What exactly happened between you two?"
"I don't want to disturb him."
I said softly, "In the future, there are some things that still need him to pass on."
"What things?"
"Junior, you will help me, right?"
Wen Jiayou looked at me deeply, nodded, and turned to leave the hospital room.
After he left, I opened my phone alone.
It turned out that I had been in a deep sleep for a day and two nights.
Today is the second day of the New Year.
I checked my call log.
Zhen Zhuo had called me once at midnight on New Year's Day.
I thought to myself that it must be because his mother and Wen Ling were no longer in "danger" that he remembered me.
My WeChat was filled with messages from Zhen Zhuo.
" Yu Zhu, what happened to you?"
" Yu Zhu, where are you?"
"Yu Zhu, why aren't you answering the phone?"
"Yu Zhu, please tell me where you are."
"Yu Zhu, what is going on with you?"
...
Looking at these repeated messages, I couldn't help but laugh.
As I laughed, tears began to flow down my cheeks.
Zhen Zhuo, your concern is so cheap.
I wiped away my tears and blocked Zhen Zhuo from my contacts and WeChat.

Jiaoyou arranged a single patient room for me.
Due to my head injury, my physical condition is very poor.
The treatment plan originally scheduled for early January has to be postponed.
Recently, my back pain has also been getting worse.
I have to rely on painkillers to relieve the pain.
After fainting again due to dizziness, I looked at my haggard self in the mirror and let out a long sigh.
Perhaps I can't hold on much longer.
But I want to live for another year.
I want to see the changing of the seasons once more.
Aunt Wang is a very attentive and caring aunt.
I really like her.
She said I look like her daughter.
So, she treats me especially well.
Looking at her gentle profile, I can't help but wonder if my mother were still here, would she care for me like this?
I concealed my illness and simply said I was an unburdened orphan.
Aunt Wang sighed, "Oh, your parents have passed away, poor child."
I smiled faintly and didn't explain.
My parents are no longer here; they no longer have to endure the pain of burying their own child.
Aunt Wang asked me, "Dear, you are so beautiful, how come you don't have a boyfriend?"
Boyfriend?
I was slightly taken aback and then bitterly smiled.
I used to be a burn surgeon.
Everyone called me "Dr. Yu."
But now, I can no longer perform surgeries for others.
I gently touched the wound on my head, where seven stitches were placed.
I changed the subject: "Aunt Wang, when can I be discharged from the hospital?"
"Soon," Aunt Wang replied, "Dr. Chen said you can be discharged after this observation period."
I leaned against the headboard, gazing out the window.
Outside, the sunlight was just right.
I wanted to go for a walk.
Aunt Wang said I should rest more.
But my body felt stiff lying down.
I pleaded, "Aunt Wang, will you accompany me for a walk?"
"I don't want to sit in a wheelchair."
I still wanted to retain some dignity.
Aunt Wang couldn't refuse me and had to help me with my coat and scarf.
Just then, Jiaoyou called.
"Senior Sister, we have a new discovery."
"What new discovery?"
Wen Jiayou's voice sounded very excited.
He said, "We have re-evaluated the treatment plan for your condition."
"Senior Sister, maybe... maybe..."
His voice trembled.
My heart began to race.
