Michael's Healing Touch in a Broken World Chapter 51

Since that day, some subtle but noticeable changes have taken place in Ethan Yin's life of living alone.

For example, someone moved into the house upstairs that was originally empty, and for several nights in a row you could hear the sound of people tidying up things, and the sound of footsteps going from the bedroom to the living room, and from the living room to the kitchen, sometimes brisk and hurried, sometimes slow and dawdling.

During the days when he was not besieged in the hospital, Ethan Yin could even judge from the noise what time the upstairs residents returned home every day and what their mood was that day.

For example, we often receive food from neighbors, ranging from steamed buns, wontons, scallion pancakes to biscuits, cookies and small cakes. Since I saw two movers from the home appliance mall carrying a large oven upstairs one day, the residents upstairs have been staying in the kitchen longer and producing more food.

Fortunately, the new neighbor upstairs was not free every day. After a few days of idleness, he started to work day and night and came back late. He was no longer available to stay downstairs in the hospital. One day in November, Ethan Yin returned home and saw a note on the door, which read: I've been too busy recently, take good care of yourself and wait for me to come back!
