Before entering the consultation room, Hu Zhonglian had specifically made an appointment with an expert.
While waiting for the lab results, Ji Meishu kept calling.
Hu Zhonglian was so annoyed that he had to answer the phone.
Ji Meishu's gentle voice came from the receiver, "Zhonglian, are you coming home for dinner tonight?"
Going back? Or dinner?
The focus of Hu Zhonglian's concern had shifted; the call seemed more like a signal.
Hu Zhonglian said expressionlessly into the phone, "I can't make it back, I'm still in Lin City, and I probably won't be able to return until the weekend at the earliest."
"Oh," a disappointed voice came through the phone, "I was hoping you could come back tonight to accompany me. The baby has been troubling me so much that I can't sleep well at night."
"If you can't sleep, let Tongtong come back to keep you company, I'm really too busy to get away," said Hu Zhonglian, numbly.
