The more I thought about it, the more guilty I felt. I decided to have my parents come and take me home.
After contacting my parents, I learned that a large number of people had fallen ill outside, and people like me had become the majority.
Before leaving, I wanted to ask Brandon for a way to contact him, but I felt embarrassed.
Our meeting had been so sudden, and our parting was just as abrupt.
But I should have been an unfortunate and unpleasant episode in his life.
When saying goodbye, I sincerely thanked him.
"Thank you, and I'm sorry! I hope you won't encounter unreliable people like me in the future."
He was stunned for a moment. Without waiting for his response, I armed myself with my suitcase and left the room.
……
Young people have good resistance, and within a week, I was back on my feet.
Perhaps due to good protection, my family members were also fine.
Seeing me idling around, my mother asked me to go to the supermarket to buy some groceries.
Seeing the throat lozenges on the shelf, I thought of Brandon.
I thought of the medicine he bought for me but didn't deliver, wondering if he was doing well and if he had fallen ill.
