About a month after his first visit to the hospital, Dylan Johnson booked an appointment for Erwin Wilson to come back for a follow-up visit. Frederick Hall originally had a meeting that day, but he did not hesitate to push the meeting to the afternoon, and then accompanied Erwin to the hospital. Erwin Wilson didn't know it when he woke up in the morning to find Frederick drinking coffee and reading the newspaper in the living room.
Erwin Wilson froze for a moment. After Frederick's birthday, he felt that Frederick seemed to have changed a bit. Exactly how to change, Erwin himself could not say. He just knew that he would catch Frederick's eyes from time to time. After the four eyes met, Frederick would smile at him. Erwin didn't understand what was going on, but the heart in his chest would unconsciously beat faster.
"Wake up?" Frederick asked Erwin softly, then looked at Maria to tell her to make breakfast.
Erwin Wilson nodded vaguely, he used the sign to ask: "Why don't you go to work today?"
"Go to the hospital with you." Frederick finished saying that, put down the newspaper and went with Erwin Wilson into the dining room. "After I go to the doctor, I will go back to the company."
Erwin Wilson nodded. It doesn't matter whether Frederick comes or not; he feels this is not too important. Besides, if Frederick Hall had decided to go with him, then Frederick certainly had nothing important to do in the morning.
If Paul knew what was going on in Erwin Wilson's mind, he would be very angry. Paul had scheduled an appointment for early this morning, but just yesterday, Frederick Hall reported that the meeting was pushed to early afternoon. Paul didn't understand what was going on. He could only follow. Then he received the news that Frederick would not be at the company all morning this morning.
After all these years of work, this was the first time Paul had seen Frederick Hall take a leave of absence. In the past, no matter what illness or incident, Frederick Hall would still stubbornly come to the company. Today, the atmosphere in the company is extremely strange. The news of Frederick Hall taking leave spread throughout the department. Many people brought it up as a topic of discussion.
Frederick Hall and Erwin Wilson did not know these things. After having breakfast, the two went together to the private hospital where Dylan Johnson worked. Early morning is the time when the hospital is the most crowded. Patients queue up for hundreds of people. Frederick Hall had just parked his car and sent a text message to Dylan Johnson. The other person, after receiving the message, immediately responded.
“You and your husband go up! I have already told the nurse to prepare the necessary equipment.”
Because there were goals, Frederick Hall and Erwin Wilson avoided a lot of complicated procedures. The two stopped in front of Dylan Johnson's clinic door, which was unlocked this time. Inside, Dylan Johnson was facing a young man.
“Dylan, don't you feel that going abroad means you have to cut all ties?”
The man asked loudly. Dylan Johnson rubbed the side of his temple, painfully saying, "Baby, listen to me!"
"Who's your baby?" The other man's face was red, and he struggled to get away from Dylan Johnson's arms. Suddenly, the two saw Erwin and Frederick standing at the door of the room, wide-eyed, looking inside.
Dylan Johnson coughed, letting go of the man. He was about to introduce himself when the other man spoke first.
"Erwin Wilson?" The voice was so familiar that Erwin was a bit taken aback. He opened the door wide and saw a familiar figure matching Franky James on the virtual reality network.
"Oh, it's you!" Franky James couldn't hide his surprise. He took a step forward, then saw Frederick Hall standing behind him again. “Frederick?”
In an uncertain tone of doubt, Franky James stared at Frederick appraisingly. Frederick let Franky James look at him, and he nodded. “Good morning, Franky. Long time no see!"
Franky James was suddenly at a loss for words. He still knew Frederick Hall and Dylan Johnson were best friends. Coincidences are natural, but Franky did not expect that he would meet Erwin Wilson in real life. The last time, Franky James sent Erwin Wilson's gems, he also knew he was in B city, but never thought that he could just come across B city to catch people by chance.
After the four of them calmed down, Dylan Johnson pulled Franky James by the arm, saying, "Franky, it's my fault that it's my fault to leave without a word. But then…”
Dylan Johnson didn't finish, but Franky James understood. At that time, the family of Franky James protested too violently. Even his father wanted to break off relations with him just because he was gay. Franky James is sandwiched between his family and his lover, he doesn't know what to do.
Dylan Johnson received a place to exchange students in country Z and left without saying a word. Franky James could not accept this fact, he quarreled with his parents, then also left B city, for another place. After a few years, the relationship between Franky James and his family became a little more harmonious. But Franky James still hasn't received any news from Dylan Johnson.
Franky James pursed his lips as he looked at the two Erwin Wilson and Frederick Hall who were still here, unable to open their mouths to argue. He just pulled his hand away from Dylan Johnson, replying: "I've got something to do first! Talk to you later."
Dylan Johnson also knew this was not the time to talk, cleared his throat, and invited Frederick and Erwin to sit down.
"Today we're going to do a full checkup. I want to see if you're healthy enough for surgery." Dylan Johnson returned to a serious look. He pushed the medical book in front of Erwin. "You wait a moment, let me call someone to take you for a thorough examination."
The host Erwin Wilson was still the male nurse the other day, and Frederick did not stay to prevent Dylan Johnson and Franky James from talking privately. The two of them, one by one, left Dylan's clinic.
Now, with only the two of them left, Franky said, “Now explain! Why did that year leave without saying a word? After that, he came back and didn't want to contact me!"
Saying this, Franky James' eyes were also red. Franky James felt very sorry the two were once the sweetest couple, always stuck together and refused to let go. Yet, in the blink of an eye, there was no sign of Dylan Johnson next to him.
Dylan was silent for a moment, then finally smiled wryly: "Franky, I know you were a person with no money or status at that time. My parents, I can't completely break up with them. After all, you're just an outsider."
Franky James waved his hand and slapped Dylan. He almost cursed at this man.
“Damn it!” Franky James angrily shouted: “Dylan, I was already messing with the roof. What the fuck is the cut-off? I'm like an idiot, always thinking of a way to keep him from getting hurt. In the end, he quietly left!"
Dylan froze his left cheek burning. But that didn't matter. Franky James rarely gets angry, rather Franky never gets angry with him. Dylan gaped, unsure of how to respond. Franky's anger still hasn't subsided, he gritted his teeth: "Do you want to break up with me?"
Dylan Johnson shook his head decisively this time. After all these years, Dylan Johnson has never thought of breaking up with Franky. After returning home, he heard from friends that Franky James had moved to another city to live. He thought that Franky did it to forget a coward like him.
Dylan Johnson didn't dare go look for Franky James. Years abroad, he did not dare to listen to the news of Franky. He was afraid that he could not help but return immediately, making Franky awkward.
"Baby, I still love you!"
