"You don't have to listen to Mom, I'll talk to her." Andrew's talking to me now that his mom and dad are gone.
"Yes thank you."
He looked at me and breathed. I don't know how to behave to him. It also feels wrong because I know he has hope in me.
"Andrew, I ..." He cut the word
"You don't come back to the office today waiting for me all day, go. Tomorrow is not worth waiting for. You need to rest too. It's late last night, you waited all night for me. No need to come here tomorrow morning. Just drop by the night after you finish your job."
"I'll be back tomorrow morning."
"No need. Just night." He stays on his message. "I'm not a kid who can't take care of myself. There are many nurses who can help. It's hard at 7 and go home and rest. Finish your own business tomorrow at the office and you can come see me tonight."
"Are you mad at me."
"Why am I mad at you?"
"You kicked me out." He grimaces.
"So you want to be here. That's up to you. What do you want to do here. Taking care of me like I'm your lover? You can't do that, can't you." He's practical now, doesn't want me to wait for him. Maybe disappointed with our situation. He didn't want himself to expect much, even though he was still trying yesterday. "I told you you don't have to feel like you owe me. What I said before while in the car was forget it. I know you feel like I cornered you back then."
"No, I don't feel like I'm cornering me."
"If not, then go home and rest at the hotel."
"Eliz, go home, work, look at me at night. I don't need you to wait." He looked at me and gave orders.
"You're making me feel so wrong." He just smiled.
"I saved you not expecting anything in return. If I don't save you then it will be a regret that my whole life cannot protect you, my choice is only two and I choose to protect you without hesitation. Consider it your luck. I'm just asking if you can't avoid me, act like you used to. I know I can't force my feelings. So go home just be normal, I'm not gonna make this a weapon." He looked me straight in the eye. I approached her bed and sat down next to her.
"Andrew, I can only thank you."
"That's enough." She smiles. "What else can I expect." He was being so sincere to me. Just satisfied with thank you, this is a debt I can't pay for a lifetime.
"I go home first, tomorrow I'll bring lunch."
"That's better, look at that dark circle in your eye. You haven't slept all night. Go awayl. We have lunch tomorrow at the hospital." He laughed to himself at the idea of lunch at the hospital.
"All right, I'm leaving. If you need anything, call me straight away. The hotel is near I can bring it right away." Still feeling guilty leaving him alone.
"Yes, don't worry go."
Finally went with various thoughts in my head. I haven't even told Gilbert this. How to say it, Andrew received a bullet for me and his mother expected me to return the favor to her son.
If I wasn't willing, would Auntie and Uncle David consider me an ungrateful person. Maybe they'll hate me eventually, somehow Albert responds and Mana finally.
