"Mom, I can't get through to his phone," the man cautiously informed his mother.
The old lady's face sank upon her hearing that.
"Is he coming at all?" Now, even Bai Xuexian was concerned. If the man failed to turn up tonight, then her plan would go to waste!
"How about Mu Huan?" Matriarch Mu asked her son.
"Her phone is turned off."
By now, a storm seemed to be brewing judging by the look on her face.
"Mom, do you think something may have happened to Xiao Huan? You know the girl, she won't leave her granny in the lurch. She will never disappear without a reason!" the man commented worriedly.
His mother had the same thought too. His daughter-in-law's last reply hit her once more: Mother, haven't you noticed that I've been here with you all night? How could I have done anything?
The more she reflected on the latter's words, the more guilty it sounded.
