Meanwhile, Yi-jun hears two people talking

Brad: Are you sure it was him?

Femi: I used to date him. Of course it was him.

Brad: You're a nurse at New York General Hospital?

Femi: Yes, on the cancer ward. And Taylor was there. He walked right by me and didn't even see me.

Brad: Maybe he was just visiting someone.

Femi: But you saw how skinny and pale he looks. He has "cancer patient" written all over his face.

同一时间，怡君听到两个人在聊天

布莱德：你确定那是他?

费　咪：我以前跟他交往过。我当然确定是他。

布莱德：你是纽约综合医院的护士?

费　咪：对，在癌症病房。而且那时候泰勒就在那儿。他从我身边走过时，甚至没看到我。

布莱德：或许他只是去探病。

费　咪：但是你看他的样子多瘦多苍白。他就是一付癌症病患的模样。
