It took me a long time to hear Sean’s voice, “my books and papers are here. I’ll take them back.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Oh…” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
His things were here. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was in a bad mood before and then I was busy working so I forgot about it. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I didn’t open the door, “well, President Jessop, wait a minute. I’ll help you pack up.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I want to go in.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I heard Sean. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Actually, I was hesitating. But I thought although we had divorced, he just came to get things. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
We had nothing to do with each other after he got them. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I felt a chill when I opened the door. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean stood at the door. He was wearing a gray black coat and there were many snowflakes on his shoulders and head. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was a little surprised. Didn’t he drive straight to the underground garage? Why was he so cold and there were snow on him? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Was he coming from outside? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But I didn’t want to care about him. When I let him in, I turned around and said, “President Jessop, wait a minute. I’ll help you pack up.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He didn’t have many things. Just a paper bag could hold them. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I took his books and papers off the bookshelf in the living room. I handed him the paper bag and said politely, “President Jessop, everything is here. You see if there is any omission.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean took the bag and didn’t look at it. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He stared at me and gave a wry smile. “It looks like you’re doing well after the divorce.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Yes, I had a good time.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I pretended to be calm. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was having a bad time. I felt bad, but I couldn’t tell him. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean nodded. “Okay.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I thought his eyes were a little confused but I didn’t think much about it. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I took Sean to the door and said, “goodbye.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I closed the door. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But when the door closed, I heard a muffled sound in the corridor. I hesitated and opened it. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I saw Sean lying on the ground with his eyes closed. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Sean!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I got nervous all of a sudden. I rushed to touch his face with my hand. But I found his skin very hot. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I touched his forehead and neck and found that Sean was having a high fever! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I called his name and opened his eyes. I was sure Sean was really in a coma. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I hesitated for a moment. I didn’t think he could lie here. I dragged him inside but he was too heavy. I tried my best to move him a little. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I could only call security and asked him to drag Sean into my room. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
We put him on the bed. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I picked up the phone and wanted someone to take him away. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But looking at the phone, I was lost again. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Who could I ask to take him away? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I didn’t have a phone number for anyone Sean knew except Molly. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The thermometer showed that his temperature was 39.5 degrees Celsius. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I didn’t understand. Why didn’t he go to the hospital and come to my house when he had a fever? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But I didn’t think too much. I couldn’t go against my heart. I was afraid something would happen to him. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I made an emergency call. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Before the doctor came, I wanted to get a basin of water to help him cool down. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But as soon as I was about to leave, he grabbed me. “Don’t go.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I looked back at Sean who was unconscious. I was in a bit of a quandary. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Sean, let go. I’ll get you some water. I’ll be right back.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“No, don’t go…” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean didn’t let go of my hand after I explained. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
His hands were very hot. He grabbed my hand and it made me feel a little hot. He couldn’t have a fever all the time. If he had a fever in my house and became stupid, Jessop Family and Molly would not let me go. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But when I wanted to break free of his hand, Sean raised his arm and held me in his arms. His thin lips were steaming, “I miss you. Don’t go. Don’t leave me.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
His voice was full of attachment. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
My heart was pounding. But I was worried about him and could only pat him on the chest. “I’ll get the water. I’ll be back soon. I will not leave you.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Really?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I could understand him, though he had his eyes closed and he didn’t speak clearly. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Well, really.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Even though I said that, Sean didn’t let me go. He held me. I heard him say a lot in my ear. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I didn’t catch it this time. But I heard him say, “I love you. I didn’t say it before, but this time I say so don’t leave me.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I leaned over him to think about who he was talking to. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Was he talking to me? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
That was impossible. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When I doubted, I heard Sean say, “don’t divorce. Let’s not divorce. I love you.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
This sentence made my heart thump! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Let’s not divorce. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Was he talking to me? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I suddenly thought Sean was pretending to be sick and lying to me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I couldn’t believe my ears, let alone believe him easily. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When I thought how to ask him, there was a knock at the door. The doctors were here. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I suddenly backed away and wanted to open the door. I heard him say, “Molly…” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
My heart hurt at that moment. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I thought I was ridiculous. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
How could he have said that to me? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Of course he said it to Molly! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I hurried to open the door for the doctors and let them take him away. I didn’t care about him after that. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
All my previous sorrows piled up. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But right now they were like volcanoes and erupted. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I stood in front of the window, but I couldn’t suppress my sadness. I took out the bottle of red wine I bought that day to please Sean. I sat at the window drinking. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Soon I finished a bottle of wine. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Although it was red wine, I began to feel dizzy because I drank it on an empty stomach. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
My cell phone rang. I stood up and took my cell phone from the tea table. I tried to see through the blurred vision to distinguish the content of the message. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“How are you? We haven’t been in touch for a long time. How is your study? Do you have a good job?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Who was it? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I squinted at the sender again. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It was a number I didn’t save. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But the number was familiar. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Who was it? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Maybe I drank too much. I dialed that number. It took a long time to get through. I heard him say, “Hello.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Hello, who’s speaking?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I began to talk nonsense. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The person on the other side of the phone introduced himself, and I suddenly remembered that he was the one who helped me to go to university! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I’m sorry. I’m sorry…” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“You’re drunk.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Before I finished, he said. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
