He is a very gentle man, but he keeps calm when making any decision.
He wants Jamie to go to France with him and live with them, but Jamie refuses.
So, the distance between the families lengthens.
"Dad is missing you every day and wants you to come back. We miss you so much that we’re sick." Chris's voice has a trace of sorrow and blame.
"What? Are you sick?" Jamie's hand tightens worriedly when she hears it.
"No, it isn’t. It’s called lovesickness." Chris is a little puzzled, thinking about whether it is right.
Oops!
Jamie almost smiled and smirked. Was this elder brother a teasing monkey?
"Chris, lovesickness is used to describe men and women." Jamie explains to him patiently.
"For men and women? I'm a man, you're a woman. Is there any problem?" Chris says with a trace of doubt.
"Emm…"
Jamie doesn't know how to explain it with his words. So she can just say, "Yes, this is lovesickness ..."
"Jamie. If you really encounter something, don't fight against it alone. I still have man over there. You can come to find your brother if you have any troubles." Chris's voice becomes soft and he carefully tells Jamie.
"Brother, who is that man you are talking about?" Jamie walks to the commercial street but doesn't walk in. She just stands outside and chats with Chris.
She looks around habitually. She seems to have an illusion that she sees Jozo.
Putting away the doubts in her heart, Jamie walks straightly over there.
"This is a secret. If you want to know it, you'll have to find it by yourself." Chris is still keeping Jamie guessing and keeping it confidential.
"..." Jamie pouts. Since that Chris doesn't want to say, he certainly has his intentions.
After a few chats, Jamie hangs up the phone and is still getting closer and closer to Jozo. But she doesn’t know that a car passes by suddenly. And when she looks at it, there is nobody there.
"It’s so strange. Do I get the wrong person?" Jamie thinks she may recognize it mistakenly, and she doesn't think much about it.

Jozo comes out with Alma, but Alma is just called by her to go to a store to buy things. Jozo doesn't want to wait for her, so she comes in the mall by moving her wheelchair.
She doesn't do it for anything else. The reason she escapes from Alma is just to finish the appointment.
Jozo moves her wheelchair to an intersection and is about to make a turn. But she doesn't expect a person coming head-on. Therefore accidentally she rushes straightly on him.
"Ah!"
The two collides together, but fortunately the man reacts promptly and he stabilizes the wheelchair so Jozo avoids falling off the wheelchair.
Jozo is also in shock. But the strong fragrance of perfume makes her frown.
"Ah! July! Are you okay?" A girl in casual clothes runs over anxiously and asks.
July straightens up and looks at Jozo. She asks, "Lady, are you okay?"
"It's okay." Jozo thinks that she is familiar and she looks at July carefully.
This lady seems to be a famous model of Dan’s company.
"It’s better that you’re okay. This is my business card. If you think you have any problems, please contact me." July hands Jozo a business card of her own.
Jozo doesn't speak but just nods.
July and her assistant don’t stay for too long and leave first.
"Jozo doesn't need to think too much. We are destined to be different people." The man says coldly.
Jozo is shocked in her heart and begins to sweat. This man, why can he understand her mind...
"I believe Jozo is a smart person and hope that we can cooperate happily."
"What do you mean?"
But the silence on the opposite side is terrifying. Has the man on the other side already left?
She takes out her mobile phone to take a picture.
The man has really left when she doesn’t know.
Jozo is even more curious in her heart. This man can leave so quietly ... Who is he?
She doesn’t know anything about the man, but it is obvious that the man knows her well...
…
When Jamie returns to the hospital, she sees Dan leaning on the bed and looking at the documents.
The man who works conscientiously is really handsome!
Jamie's heart is touched and it beats violently a few times. Her small hand rests on the doorknob and fails to regain her mind for a while.
She ... She does think that Dan looks very attractive to her!
But she has to admit that this scene reminds Jamie of high school’s life, Dan accompanied her from time to time to study at night although in most of time he was teaching her. She slept on the table happily. But every time when she waked up in the next morning, what Jamie saw was that all the homework have been done.
