Chapter 8 : A Walk Down Memory Lane 1/7 Joyce came to see me , pointing carefully outside and asked , The guy outside … is that Tristan ? I corrected her with a serious tone , No , thats an annoying spirit .
Joyce gave a helpless laugh , Do we really have to cut your hair ? Cut it .
Maddie is too busy , dont take up her time .
You do it for me , Im still a bit reluctant .
Joyce silently started to cut , bidding farewell to my beautiful hair for me .
I looked in the mirror and thought , Im truly a cancer patient now .
A terminally ill cancer patient .
I started to not be able to move around as much , because it was getting too painful .
I asked Maddie to find a caretaker for me , saying , Someone with nimble hands , someone who works quickly , I have money .
Maddie kept her word , and the next day she found a caretaker for me , but Tristan stopped them before they even entered .
Chapter 8 : A Walk Down Memory Lane Ill take care of you .
He spoke softly , yet his tone was firm .
I was in too much pain to speak , but I managed to force out a word : Get out ! Ive heard that so many times , Im immune to it .
I was pissed .
How could I forget that Tristan was my sworn enemy , always picking a fight with me .
Once I calmed down a bit , I threw everything at him and told him to get out .
He squatted in front of me and said : Abby , can we go back to LA for treatment ? Better medical resources .
2/7 I tilted my head and asked him : Tristan , dont you understand what late stage means ? My treatment will only postpone my death .
Besides , I didnt want to go back to LA either .
There were so many memories I hated there .
Why not ? There could be improvements , right ? I shook off his hand and said : What use is there in improvements ? All my family is six feet under .
Im just going to reunite with them .
Why are you trying to postpone that ? But Abby , we are also … a family , dont you remember ? 3/7 Chapter 8 : A Walk Down Memory Lane Jesus Tristan , you should get yourself checked out tomorrow , you seem mentally ill .
Were divorced .
Do I need to hang a banner on your head so you can remember it ? I took a deep breath and asked , Tristan , are you into sick girls ? Your last mistress was constantly sick too .
You went to the hospital with her often .
I suddenly realized , Oh my Gosh , I know what it is .
You have knight in shinning armor complex .
You like to save damsels in distress ! Tristan shook his head with a pale face .
Your fetish is really strange .
You should get it checked out .
I felt sick looking at his face now , Im warning you , dont bother me when I look for a caretaker .
If I die tomorrow , I wont leave you any money ! I wont even give it to you if I take it out and throw it out the window ! Tristan took out a basin and put it under me and said with red eyes , Do as you wish .
He patted my back and shed tears .
I felt even more sick and vomited out all the food I had eaten in the evening .
Tristan no longer tried to stop the caretaker from entering , but he sometimes helped the elder caretaker I had asked for .
I just closed one eye and accepted it as a way to satisfy his strange fetish .
Chapter 8 : A Walk Down Memory Lane As long as he doesnt bother me too much , Ill let it go .
On the Lantern Festival , my caretaker asked for a leave and I happily agreed , after all her grandson is so cute .
Fireworks were still going off outside my window .
Abby , its cold by the window .
I turned my head to look at Tristan , he hadnt left for over a month , sleeping on the long chair outside .
4/7 At first , Maddie was chasing him away , but later she quietly told me : He always goes to warm up your IV drip when youre asleep , so I figure Id let him stay .
Tristan , lets go out for a walk ? The Lantern Festival is different , when I was young , on this day , Tristan would sneak out of his house , hold my hand , and take me to the street behind the school , using his New Year money to buy me delicious food .
Tristans family was powerful , so he always had to sneak out of all kinds of gatherings , wearing a small suit like a little prince , and appear in front of me .
When we were young , this day was the one I looked forward to the most .
I once asked him , What if your family doesnt agree with us being together ? Chapter 8 : A Walk Down Memory Lane Tristan laughed heartily and hugged me gently , saying , My darling , then well elope , just like what were doing now .
5/7 Later , his family wanted him to marry a more suitable woman , not an orphan with no relatives .
He resolutely refused and took me away from the city on a particular Lantern Festival .
I will always remember that year , when I was lying in his arms on the bumpy train , saying , I dont have any family , Tristan .
He held me tightly and said , My darling , well form a new family ! Ill be your family ! I will always remember his warm hands holding mine , and his excited heart that seemed to burst out of his throat .
Promises echoed in my ears , but now things have changed .
How could we have come to this point , given all we have done for each other ? I dont understand it , so I wont think about it anymore .
I want that one , I said to Tristan , pointing at a roasted sausage .

Abby … He looked uncomfortable .
I pursed my lips and went forward to buy it myself .
Chapter 8 : A Walk Down Memory Lane Okay , Ill buy it for you .
Stay here , that place is smoky , dont go .
6/7 I happily took a bite , feeling the long lost sensation of my youth .
Afterwards , I had Tristan buy me cotton candy , tacos , and ice cream .
Unable to carry it all myself , I reluctantly used Tristan as a human support , taking a bite here and a bite there .
Abby , he suddenly spoke up .
Shut up ! I gave him a glance , If youre going to say something I dont want to hear , you can leave .
Abby , eat slower , his voice was a bit choked , and when I looked up I could only see his slightly red eyes .
Why are you crying ? Are you here just to wait for me to kick the bucket ? I sighed and walked away .
Abby , Abby , Im sorry , Im sorry .
Tristan quickly caught up to me and asked quietly , Do you want to eat some more ? No ! I wasnt in a good mood , so Im going to ruin his mood too .
These things arent good for my health , do you want me to die sooner ? Chapter 8 : A Walk Down Memory Lane 7/7 Tristan lowered his head and , seeing me about to leave , he still reached out and grabbed my sleeve , Abby , do you want to eat some rice noodles ? From the one at the back street .
That was a store that we used to go to every year and I loved the noodles there .
Maybe it was the temptation of food , or the line of young students coming up from behind , or even more likely … it was Tristan in his suit , lowering his head , which matched a certain moment in a certain year , so long ago … I nodded and said ok .
