I have already forgotten how my conversation with Fu Yan ended that day. Probably he felt guilty, while I remained calm and composed.

After Egg Brother and Fu Yan left in the evening, A stayed at the hospital with me. Since it was just an island, the medical facilities were not well-developed, and there was only a couch for A to sleep on. That day, I was really exhausted, both physically and emotionally. I leaned against the bed and quickly fell asleep. In the middle of the night, I woke up groggily and saw A sitting on the couch, holding a pen and paper while checking his phone and writing something down. The paper was densely filled with writing. I checked the time and realized it was past 1 AM. This couldn't be a travel guide; he usually didn't bother to check. Before, it was always me suggesting places to go, and he would agree.

I couldn't help but ask him, "What are you doing?"

He picked up the medicine prescribed by the doctor and shook it, saying, "These medicines have all the instructions in English. I can't understand them, so I'm checking if there are any precautions. You can't take medicine randomly."

The doctor who prescribed the medicine spoke in English, and when he explained how to take the medicine in the afternoon, we barely understood the dosage and combinations, but when he mentioned dietary restrictions, the three of us were utterly confused.

"Oh," I didn't know what else to say. It was rare to see A being so caring about me.

A is someone who acts on impulse. Occasionally, when he's in a good mood, he might pretend to dote on me for two or three days, but it doesn't last long. No one has the energy to care and dote on someone they don't love every day.

Sometimes he can act very caring towards me, but it always comes with conditions. The last time was when my mom passed away, and this time it was because I fell into the sea. I've tried hard for five years, but I couldn't get a balanced loving relationship. I always have to pay a painful price to tilt his emotional balance a little toward me, and it's all out of pity.

Now, I'm tired, and I don't want this kind of pity anymore.

I don't know what time A went to sleep that night. When I woke up, he was sitting on a chair next to my bed, with his head resting near my pillow, and his right hand was unexpectedly interlocked with my left hand. We had only done this kind of intimate action on the bed before, and I wasn't used to it, so I quickly pulled my hand back.

My action of pulling away woke A up, and he rubbed my hair, asking if my foot still hurt. I shook my head. Then he helped me wash up, had breakfast with me, and took me back to the hotel.

In the afternoon, A and the others went to discuss the medical expenses with the company that rented out the motorboat. I heard that D's girlfriend was good at English, so communication was not a big issue. Later, that company covered my medical expenses. I breathed a sigh of relief because since I had decided to break up, I would need to pay back A when I got back. Speaking of which, I have to complain about foreign medical expenses. I spent nearly ten thousand dollars for that treatment, which roughly translates to 60,000 RMB. For someone who had just started working, it was a huge hole in my wallet, and it wasn't even top-notch medical treatment. There were plenty of problems. I really can't stand it when people say that foreign medical care is better than in my home country. <(￣ ﹌ ￣)>.
