    The day of the car accident, he was carrying strawberries he had just bought. Three months after I was diagnosed with stomach cancer, he secretly went for bone marrow matching. The day after the donation surgery, he rode his electric bike to the hospital to deliver the soup I had made, and was hit by a truck that ran a red light, throwing him more than ten meters. I didn't shed a single tear at the funeral. Relatives said I was cold-blooded; no one knew that he had just donated bone marrow to me, his terminally ill girlfriend, just last week.
