The Day He Matured

After two weeks I was in the hospital, the doctor allowed me to leave the hospital and told Richard to take me to the hospital for a checkup at the beginning of the week.

The moment the car drove out of the big gate, I felt like I was reborn.

A few days ago, Richard brought his mother to visit me. Because he kept sleeping at the hospital, she suspected him of doing something shady. So he had to let his mother see my wounded body.

Richard’s mother is a very kind woman, and she does not despise my low status.

She said that human life is temporary. If she can help anyone, she will help and told me to live with her and Richard so that she can take care of me.

However, I did not dare to disturb them. Moreover, I shouldn’t be hanging around Richard, causing him to miss out on other love relationships.

Fortunately, Caily took the initiative to invite me to live with her. Caily has not had a boyfriend and has not thought about love, so I don’t feel shy when I live with her.

At the very least, I won’t turn into a lightbulb preventing her from dating because no guy comes to her house.

The car took me and Caily home when the sunset had fallen all over the streets of the city.

I miss Brian so much; I miss the times when he drove me on a road like this.

Was the love between me and him the shortest love affair?

Richard has a pretty good relationship with a senior employee in Sunshine Bank, so he knows that Brian’s second surgery has been successful and that the man is recovering very well.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

I understand Richard asked about Brian’s condition just because he realized what I wanted to know. He did not want me to worry.

I just need to know that, I don’t want to bother him and ask him to keep an eye on Brian’s status week by week, month by month.

As long as Hellen is next to Brian, he will not be hated by his grandfather. As long as he obeys his grandfather and resumes his love affair with Hellen, he will still be the bright heir of the Hana Corporation.

At the very least, Brian’s grandfather would accept Brian because of his relationship with Hellen’s grandfather.

“If you need anything, just call me. Don’t wander around, stay at home until you’ve fully recovered, and then go wherever you want.” Richard put me down on the bed and told me.

“I already know. There’s also Caily here.” I smiled and nodded.

“Right. Do you think you are the only one who is worried about Bella? This is my territory.” Caily put down my bag and said with a curved lip.

“Well then… this time around, Bella bothers you to take care of her.”

After helping Caily fix the door hinge, Richard also quickly left.

His company is rushing to make documents to bid for the bidding package to supply medical supplies and equipment to hospitals.

He wasted a lot of time and money for me and then had to stay up all night and stay up until morning to check all the files sent by the subordinates.

“He talks like he’s entrusting his lover to me to take care of.” Caily shrugged as soon as she returned to me.

I don’t know what to say, I just laugh. Caily did not know that I loved Brian, so for the past two weeks, she has been pushing the boat for me and Richard continuously.

He was silent, and I just smiled.

I thought that I should not let my friend misunderstand, so I decided to tell her who is in my heart.

Just as I knew before, when Caily heard that Brian and I were once lovers, her eyes were wide open, her mouth wide open, her head shaking in disbelief.

To be honest, if I was in Caily’s position and heard that a girl who had nothing outstanding was asked to fall in love by a bank president, I wouldn’t believe it either.

“I already remember. His eyes when he met you at the restaurant that day were very strange, very angry. Turns out it was because of jealousy.” Caily said loudly after thinking for a long time.

“Uh. At that time, I still hadn’t accepted to be his girlfriend.” I bowed my head and replied softly.

The space fell into silence. I can clearly hear Caily’s sigh.

She slowly approached and wrapped her arms around me, comforting me. I couldn’t hold back the nostalgia and regrets for Brian, so I burst into tears on her thin shoulders.

I will cry once in a long time, very loudly, for melancholic tears to wash away the happy and sad memories of yesterday. My future is no longer him, I am alone on the path of life, the path of bleak love.

“What would you like to eat? I show off my cooking skills to treat you.” Caily let go of me, took a tissue to wipe my tears, and asked.

“Make fried eggs and add more pepper and onions.”

“Okay, I’ll cook right away.”

Caily lightly pinched my cheek and quickly ran into the kitchen.

Right now I have time to observe her cozy, neat, and clean living space. A small house in a small alley is rented for a relatively cheap price because its owner is also an extremely kind woman.

Just half an hour later, the delicious meal was on the table. Although Caily offered to feed me, I refused. I have to gradually get used to these unhealed hands.

She only stayed with me at night and had to go to work during the day and I couldn’t ask Richard to hire a maid for me.

“You look like children who feed themselves for the first time.” Caily took a large piece of fried egg and put it in my bowl and spoke.

“This kid will be an adult in a few weeks. By then I’ll go to work and earn more money than you.” I quickly replied.

“Oh. Your diplomas are all kept in the house of the president of Sunshine Bank, your identification papers are already burned. You have to go back to your hometown and redo all the documents before you can apply for a job.”

That’s right, the first thing I need to do after I get well is to go back to my hometown to make an identity card and documents. Now, I’m like an alien, how can I apply for a job?

I can’t go to Brian’s house to get things. And even if I went there, I wouldn’t be able to climb in. He went to America and I don’t know when he’ll be back.

And if Brian comes back soon, even if I add two more pig livers, I still don’t dare to approach him.

I’m sure he’ll grab me and throw me into the river. It was the punishment for a traitor of love, abandoning their lover while he was on the brink of life and death.

After struggling for a long time, I also finished my meal. I couldn’t help Caily clean up, so I had to sit still in the room playing with the phone, avoiding disturbing her.

The new phone Richard bought for me has a light pink color with a floral case. I know it’s quite expensive, more expensive than the phone I’ve ever used.

Fortunately, when Brian dragged me into the phone shop, I refused to buy a new one, or else I would lose a thousand dollars.

Maybe Richard thought I was stupid, so he said it was cheap. Maybe it’s just cheap for him.

I of the present is no longer the same as before, obediently accepting all that Richard and Caily give, saying no to the word “reject”.

“Hello beautiful girl, look what I bring you.”

The familiar warm male voice spoke, making me almost drop the phone that was on my lap.

The scent of the big box in his hand made me swallow my saliva even though my stomach wasn’t hungry. It is the smell of fried crab with tamarind, a dish that I have liked since the first time my parents bought it for me.

” Why didn’t you rest but come here?”

“Who told you to make my mother like you? This is what my mother made for you. My mother asked me what you like to eat, and as soon as I answered, she immediately went to buy it and cook it. This is a gift to celebrate your discharge from the hospital.”

My heart is like a ray of sunlight entering, strangely warm. I didn’t expect his mother to love and care for me so much. Did she realize that her son had special feelings for me, so she loved me?

If only I could meet Richard again when my heart and body did not belong to Brian, perhaps his family would be the perfect destination for a loner like me.

I was immersed in that peaceful feeling, so I didn’t realize that Richard’s eyes were glued to my phone screen. Google homepage and search bar are the words “Brian, Chairman of Sunshine Bank”.

It wasn’t until Caily’s voice sounded, that I discovered Richard’s eyes and quickly turned off the phone.

“Let me peel the crab for you. Wait a minute.”

Richard blinked and quickly walked out of the room. The door was only half-closed, so I could clearly hear the cheerful conversation between him and Caily.

His expression just now was a mixture of many expressions, blank, sad, even disappointed.

Yes, I promised him to forget the unhappy past, smile and move on to the bright future he drew, but I didn’t keep my promise.

At the very least, I should keep my promise when I’m in front of him.

Richard and Caily are two people I will cherish from now on for the rest of my life. As for my dear Brian, I will try to bury my feelings and memories about him deep in my heart and wish him happiness.

In the future, he will fall in love with someone else and so will I, like so many others.

If everyone was forever immersed in the past of unfinished love affairs, not opening their hearts, the world’s population would decrease sharply.

I will love another man when he makes me fall in love without seeing Brian in him.

Putting the phone in the desk drawer, I left the room, went to the dining table, sat down, and looked at two people, a man and a woman, quickly peeling crabs and squeezing fruit juices.

Occasionally, Richard would put a big piece of crab meat in my mouth. He said that eating first will feel more delicious than when putting the food on the plate.

“I thought you were very polite. Do you also like to eat stealthily?” I quickly swallowed the crab meat and asked him.

“Caily likes that too. I see that most people are like that. There are no outsiders here, we can do whatever we want. No need to keep the image.” Richard calmly replied.
