It had been five years. Even if it was over, he was still my friend who had been friends with my family for many years. Let’s treat this dinner as the last good farewell.
At the agreed time, Elmer did not come to pick me up. Instead, an intern from his department came. The young man who had not graduated from college shared his admiration for Elmer with me in a simple mind.
“Mr. Elmer is really amazing. Not only is he a good doctor, but he is also very considerate to his girlfrined.”
Seeing me looking at him sideways, he seemed to be encouraged. “Yesterday, his girlfriend just had her period and he rushed her to the emergency room. I have been with him for two months and I have never seen him so flustered. The doctors in the emergency room can’t speak after being yelled at by him. He stayed with his girlfriend all night, rubbing her hands, rubbing her belly and feeding her brown sugar ginger tea. Such a loving and considerate man. I am so happy. They will get married next week, lovers finally get married.”
He said a lot and finally realized that I was too silent.
“Miss, are you his sister?”
