Chapter 69

  • Chapter 15

  • I returned to the Goma refugee camp and reunited with Joseph’s colleagues.

  • Now, Doctors Without Borders had returned. His former partner, Adam, had been promoted to coordinator for the entire Goma project.

  • The moment we saw each other, no words were spoken, but tears flowed uncontrollably.

  • After crying together for half an hour, I told him I had come back to search for Joseph.

  • He led me to the warehouse, where some of Joseph’s belongings were still there.

  • “We evacuated in a hurry, and many things were left unorganized,” Adam explained.

  • Inside a box, I found a few scattered items: a paper card, a packet of flower seeds, a set of keys, several medical books, a stethoscope…

  • These little things, so closely tied to him, transported me back to three years ago.

  • I could almost hear his voice, “You’re here!”

  • I remembered walking into his dorm one afternoon, seeing him sitting on a chair, reading a book,

  • casually twirling a pen.

  • Adam, too, seemed melancholy.

  • “These things should have been dealt with long ago, but I thought maybe one day you’d return to sort

  • them out for him, so I kept them.

  • “I never expected that day would come.”

  • I accepted the items solemnly.

  • “Adam, thank you.

  • “I’m the one who came too late.”

  • Later, I told him I still wanted to find out the whereabouts of the children from that time.
