In this chapter, we hear the story of a woman who is about to leave her job to go back to her family in China. She asks a friend to help her prepare for her departure, but the friend refuses, saying that if the document containing her husband's will is released, she will not be able to return to China. The friend tells her that her husband will be waiting for her in the car, and that he is a reliable driver. The woman tells the friend that she has something to tell him, but she does not want him to hear it. She says that she will be leaving the city soon, and the friend should take this as her last words. She tells him that the woman is pregnant, and she has already bought a lot of things, including a crib and wet tissue for the baby's mother. She advises the woman to relax, and to buy whatever else she needs after the baby is born
