"Xiao Jie…"
Gong Jie looked rather surprised. "You're awake already, Sister?" He pursed his lips, suddenly uneasy. Perhaps it was because he had taken Gong Fan away, and furthermore while she was unconscious. He waited for her outburst!
However, the expected anger did not come. He was surprised at her calmness.
"You've arrived at the Hurricane Group safely, have you?"
He was taken back that she had not chastised him.
"Where's Gong Fan?"
"He's here with me." After a pause, he asked, "Aren't you mad at me, Sister?"
On the other end of the line, the woman sighed in exasperation. "Why should I be mad at you, Xiao Jie? Haven't you done enough for me?"
Gong Jie was suddenly speechless. He laughed at himself almost derisively. "I'm sorry. I don't know what I'm able to do for you, really, but I know I've done my best."
