Maybe Meng Ying was busy or did not have her phone with her, but she did not answer.
Huo Yao stopped trying and sent Meng Ying a text instead. Meng Ying only replied to her during the second period after lunch.
[Sorry, I just saw your text. Dad got into a traffic accident, and I had to take care of him.]
After Huo Yao saw the text, she stepped out of the classroom to call Meng Ying even before the class was over. This time, Meng Ying picked up quickly.
Meng Ying's choking voice came over the phone. "Yaoyao, the doctor said that Dad suffered serious injuries and might become… a vegetable…"
Huo Yao held the phone and kept listening to Meng Ying cry. When Meng Ying was almost done, Huo Yao asked her. "Where did your father get hospitalized?"
Since Meng Ying was on the verge of breaking down, she answered everything Huo Yao asked, blankly.
