Tiffany had just arrived at the office when she received the message and immediately replied: ‘I’ve heard from Jackson that you’ve been in an accident. I was just thinking of coming home to visit you this weekend. I’ll drive home after work this Friday.’
The lychee in Summer’s mouth seemed to taste extra sweet once she saw that message. Since Jackson couldn’t go over, then having Tiffany come home would be no different. She happily replied: ‘Okay. Then come straight to my house after arriving home on Friday night. I should be discharged by then. I’ll have delicious food waiting for you. We’ll eat together when you arrive.’
Tiffany calculated the time and decided to take the afternoon off on Friday, then go home straight away. Summer was still longing for her after the accident. She couldn’t make her wait that long.
Jackson drove to Eric’s home immediately after leaving the hospital. The house was spotless thanks to the housekeeper. Everything was neat and tidy. Eric sat in the living room, by the window, sketching on his design manuscript, as if he wanted to leave his passion behind before the end of his life.
He seemed to be in pretty good spirits and did not look like a dying man at all. The calmer he looked, the sadder others felt.
Jackson picked up a pillow on the couch and threw it at Eric. “Have you been staying in the house every day? Wanna go out and have some fun with us?”
