"I have a tumor in my back and the doctor told me to decide as soon as possible."

Efia didn't react much, maybe she hadn't heard the meaning of the sentence yet.

There's no more for Foley, he's a little anxious and a little excited, and the pleasure of finally being able to give it all out gushes like dopamine.

He did talk about what had happened recently, but it took a long time.

During this time, Langkalam once called downstairs if he could let John go for a walk with her Labrador, and Representative Foley did not object.

Outside the window, night finally came, as if I had been prepared.

"Foley, I didn't know there was so much going on."

"Of course, you don't know."

"I'm sorry, I really don't know." Ephia got up from the ground and didn't know where to stand. She wanted to cry, and the muscles in the corners of her eyes tightened together, but she didn't shed tears.

"Don't you think the whole thing is a little scary, Foley."

"The whole thing?"

"Yes, it's the whole thing, not a separate thing."

"To be honest, since Bellus died, I just want people to know about me, and of course, I don't be naïve enough to think that anyone else can help with this."

"I don't think Bellus's death is that simple, you're right, it's related to his research, anyone who listens to you can deduce this, but that's why I'm a little uneasy."

"Why?"

"Perhaps, a woman's intuition or intuition or something like that, I don't know, I don't have a good opinion of what Ryomi Mussel and the organization she represents."

After saying this, Ephia regretted it a little, would this make Forlì think that she was eating this woman's vinegar, if so, she shook her head and didn't continue to think about it.

"I mean, I think it's weird. But Foley, you're an engineer, you know surgical robots, can they really have problems? ”

"Why do you ask?"

"Oh my God, what are you running away from? What are you running away from with Belus? You all ignore the calculations, that's why, Belus, maybe his research is to prove that medical robots are not necessarily better than human doctors, at least in some aspects there are serious flaws, even security risks. ”

"You're right."

"He didn't want to face it head-on, for the simple reason that there wasn't so much going around, he just didn't want to waste his energy on such boring things for so many years, and he didn't expect the outcome objectively. To put it simply, Belus's purpose is to prove that there is a problem with the medical device man. And because he couldn't accept that he was trying to prove it, he was ashamed of it. ”

"Belus always seemed calm... Elegant, he was like a gentleman. ”

"I don't have much of an impression, I just remember that he was about the same height as you, and I don't want the kind of man who can't withstand setbacks."

"Yes, he's kind of like Chandler's American tough guy."

"That's right." Efia smiled slightly, and the atmosphere in the study finally relaxed a little.

Foley wanted to reach out for Ephia to his side, he just lifted it up and put it down, he was very comfortable now, as if lying in the warm water, the sun was not dazzling, that beach Ephia had walked with him, what they talked about that day, yes, Ephia was wearing a white blouse that day, she seemed to have a preference for this color.

It's not easy for both of them to feel a little more relaxed.

Not seen in years, Ephia never imagined that when she saw Forlì again, he would go from a boy who only knew work and basketball to a man who was tormented by life.

She wondered if she was going to stay with him more, which meant, no, it wasn't appropriate, it wasn't a good time to look at it, whether or not Foley wanted it to be the same, and Ephia regretted it, why did she think of it.

If he didn't need to stay at all, or even not at all, he just said a lot about his mother, his wife, and John, well, and Belus, but he didn't say any of these things and didn't tell anyone about them, maybe behind his seemingly silent personality was someone who liked to talk to people everywhere.

We didn't know each other, no matter how often we used to meet, talk, walk.

The two have no commitments, no declared love, and no sexual contribution, even though the people of this world, this land, love these things as much as they love rugby. Nothing is the biggest gulf between them.

"Ephia." Representative Foley calls her name from her seat.

"Hey, I'm here."

"What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing, I'm fine."

"We should have something to eat, did you bring it?"

"No, downstairs."

"Actually, I want a chicken sandwich and a cup of coffee, and the coffee must not be strained through my head."

"Don't add sugar?"

"Of course, it's best if there is."

Ephia smiled knowingly, and walked out of the room to the staircase.

There was no sound on the first floor, and it seemed that John and their lovely neighbor hadn't come back yet.

She walked over to the dining table, where several red and blue cardboard boxes were lying quietly.

She folded the carton again and held it in her hand.

At this moment, there seemed to be the sound of flower pots moving in the yard outside the kitchen window, and she remembered that Representative Foley had seen John walking around the yard.

She stood there and looked out, the lights in the room were so bright that she could almost only see herself in the window with a lunch box.

Turning to go upstairs, Foley was standing at the door of the study waiting for her.

"Thank you for bringing me food."

"You're welcome."

Efia hands one box of sushi to Forlì and the other for herself.

"There's some wine in the fridge." Representative Foley doesn't open the box, "Do you want me to go get two cups?" ”

Efia wanted to refuse, drinking alcohol obviously didn't do any good to Forlì's current condition, maybe except for giving him a good night's sleep, but this is not necessarily, some people will always be excited after drinking and can't sleep. But she just nodded and carefully picked up the chopsticks.

When Foley walked to the kitchen, I heard Belus's voice coming from my head, something was looking at me, Foley, outside the house, everywhere.

Representative Foley sped up his movements and hurriedly took two glasses and a bottle of champagne, which was a little inappropriate to drink at this time, and he didn't know when this bottle of champagne was put in the fridge.

Representative Foley didn't think much about it, he just wanted to get back to the second floor as soon as possible, "The restaurant has also been occupied." When he remembered this sentence, he felt familiar, it must be in some book.

"What's wrong with you?" Efia looked up at Forlì, who had just entered the door.

"Maybe the stairs are a bit rushed." She guessed something neurotic.

Representative Foley lifts the champagne into the air, "If you don't mind drinking this." ”

"I'm fine."

Two glasses lay side by side on the desk, and Foley poured one cup for Ephia and then a full one for himself, and he drank it all, like a thirsty animal finally seeing the pool.
