Ellis pushed open the door of the hospital room and

walked in.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the room was good, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He then prepared to introduce everyone to his uncle, and so he began, “This is my…”

When he turned around, however, he didn’t see Uncle Olsen following behind him and was somewhat confused.

Where was his uncle?

Ellis had no choice but to turn back, only to see Uncle Olsen leaning against the wall in the corridor outside

The man, who was always restrained and

self-possessed, had lit up a cigarette.

He took a fierce drag, then blew out a ring of smoke.

Scratching his head, Ellis asked, “Uncle, why aren’t you coming in?”

expression showed a moment of distraction. He said lightly, “Well, it’s okay. I’ll wait here for the results.”

Ellis was puzzled.

He became even more baffled, “Uncle, you’ve come all this way to see Mrs. Olsen, and now you’re just going to wait here for the results?”

Uncle Olsen’s gaze fixed on something in the distance. He took another deep drag on his cigarette, and nodded, “Yes, I promised her that we would never meet again in or after this life.”

Ellis fell silent.

He heard intense sadness in that statement.

His mouth opened as if to say something, but he found he didn’t know what would be appropriate to say.

He had suspected that there was something between Uncle Olsen and Mrs. Olsen, perhaps an old flame, or maybe Uncle Olsen had failed this cherished friend. After all, Uncle Olsen had once been quite a playboy, pursued by many.

But he could never have imagined that their past would be so dramatic.
