She returned the call after a moment of deliberation.
It took a while before the call connected.
Mu Yazhe's sullen voice came through from the other end. "Why weren't you answering the phone?"
"…My phone's battery got drained…"
"Do you know how worried I was when I couldn't reach you?!"
He nearly resorted to using the GPS tracker to locate her.
In the end, her phone had merely run out of battery.
It was just a false alarm!
It looked as if he had worried a lot for nothing!
He parked his car at the roadside, his heart finally settling as he gripped the phone tightly.
"I'm sorry for making you worry… I didn't know that it's drained!" weakly reasoned the woman. Her caution- and remorse-filled voice sounded just like that of an erring child.
He kept mum for a moment, unwilling to vent his anger on her and finally said, "It's alright! I was just worried that you got yourself into some trouble."
