As Lady Parker spoke, her voice started to choke. "Since that time, you haven't come home to see me for a long while. Are you waiting for me to die before you return home?"
"Mom, what are you talking about?" Frank Parker frowned.
"I'm not talking nonsense," Lady Parker said tearfully, "every time I ask you to come home, you always make up excuses that you're busy and don't have time to come back. I know you're still angry with me, and you definitely still resent me inside your heart."
"What do you expect me to do so you will forgive me?"
"Do you want me to personally apologize to Joanna Lawrence?"
"If that's what it takes for you to forgive me, then I'll go apologize to her. Just don't ignore me like you do now, whatever comes may."
Listening to Lady Parker's sobs over the phone, Frank remained silent.
"Frank..." Lady Parker cried again, "I miss you so much. Can you come home to see me?"
