Chapter 10 On the seventh day after moving to the general ward , I suddenly had trouble breathing and an irregular heartbeat . I was rushed back to the operating room and barely survived . As if by unspoken agreement , I never asked about my condition again . Patrick also pretended nothing was wrong , comforting me that these were normal reactions . But I knew , I could feel that I might leave this world at any moment . Having grown up timidly , I wasn't afraid of death at all . But now I was scared , scared that Patrick would wait for me in vain , only to end up with nothing . " Patrick , I want to go out and get some sun . Patrick was pouring water for me . Hearing this , he instinctively glanced at the machines I was connected to , but agreed . " Okay , I'll find a wheelchair to take you down . The sun looks really warm today . " He wheeled me to the garden . Just as he said , the sun was indeed warm , lazily wrapping me up . After staying in the cold ward for so long , I hadn't felt such warmth in ages . We chatted , from the past to the future , talking about many dreams for later , even though I knew they were impossible .

" Then I'll trouble you all . " The man shook his head , staring into my eyes with an unusually serious expression . " No trouble . My name is Patrick , remember ? " Then he added , " You can call me Dr. Moore . You can come to me for anything . " I nodded , looked out the window, and didn't speak again . Patrick stood there for a long time before closing the door and leaving . A nurse came in to change the dressing . She cautiously asked , " Miss Smith , do you remember me ? " I shook my head . " No , do we know each other ? " She waved her hand . " No , no , I was just asking . " Even though all the doctors and nurses avoided talking about my condition , I could tell it wasn't improving , even worsening . My breathing grew heavier , and I often passed out . But every time I opened my eyes , Patrick was sitting by my bed , looking at me with those red , swollen eyes . I was puzzled . " Dr. Moore , do we know each other ?

" 268 Vouchers I curled my lips , finding it funny . " Dr. Moore , why joke like that with a patient ? " Patrick looked more serious than ever , saying word by word , " I'm serious . " I avoided his gaze and turned my head away . The ICU was so quiet only my breathing could be heard . I freed one hand , picked up the phone on the nightstand , and slowly typed a few lines . 19:48 )
