He was delighted yet puzzled. "Aren't you going back to the country to get married? Does your husband allow you to continue to suffer abroad?"
I gently scratched the red rash on my body caused by allergies. It was itchy, and my heart ached.
"I won't get married... I will just focus on being a doctor and saving lives from now on!"
Steve, who treated me kindly, immediately noticed something was wrong with me.
"You are welcome to come back and contribute to the medical field. Once you become busy, you have no time to think about anything else.
"Honestly, you're the only one without a family member visiting you in the past two years. Even if Barry is very busy, he should come here once. If not, it means that he no longer loves you.
"If he doesn't love you, why not abandon him?"
If it weren't for the hundreds of wedding planning books and the grand proposal, I would tell Steve that Barry loved me deeply, as I did in the past with full confidence.
For two whole years, I constantly told Barry about my longing for him and begged him to come visit me, just like a fool.
I found it ridiculous after finding the wedding planning books.
