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.

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

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

Ellis was puzzled.

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.
