《人生七十载》1O62

　　The next day, I went to the hospital, while Xin had to work overtime.

　　After leaving the hospital, I received a message from him:

　　WHERE ARE YOU

　　I didn't reply. Before long, he gave a call to me. I didn't answer. A few minutes later, another call came just as I reached the crossroads.This time I picked up.

　　A gentle voice came from the other end of the phone.

　　"Are you at the hospital?"

　　"Yeah."

　　"Are you done?"

　　"Yeah."

　　"What did the doctor say?"

　　"Nothing serious."

　　"Did you do any tests?"

　　"No."

　　"Okay."

　　Then there was silence at the other end of the line. After waiting for less than one minute, I hung up.

　　In fact, I had gone to the orthopedics department. I twisted my right ankle going down the steps last month, but it was stills swollen even if I followed the doctor's instrucitons.

　　When I got home, there was a coconut on my desk. I knew Xin had been there. Then I went to his place to get my clothes and brought him some snacks. I acted indifferent while he was cutting decorative paper.Then I left.
