Pei Lightian's parents were both looking conflicted at each other. They had to talk with their son and get to the bottom of this.
"Dear, please dial the number of your son!" Said Pei Yaohua. The woman looked at her husband with a worried face, she pulled her mobile phone from her bag and dialled a number. The ringing sound could be heard throughout the room, but nobody intended to answer. The frown on the woman's forehead deepened. She dialled again, but to no avail.
Silence enveloped the room.
"Aunty, we've tried for days as well, but Brother Tian seems to have vanished from the face of the Earth!" Said the girl in a weak tone and with her head down. Her small hands were sweating profusely.
"Don't worry dear! He will come back, he always does!" Said the woman in a kind reassuring tone. Although her heart started trembling on the inside. Her motherly instinct was telling her that something was not right for days. She felt that the father-son pair was hiding something from her.
She was suffering from a heart condition for ten years now and anything upsetting, could be a fatal blow to her.
"Please don't do anything hastily until he comes back. We will not talk to your parent's!" Completed Pei Yaohua.
The girl nodded in agreement, then stood up and left with Chu Nan.
The husband and wife were left alone in the quiet room. They both fell pensive and worry enveloped their hearts.
"Dear, he will come back won't he? He always does!" Asked the woman in a weak voice and a pair of trembling eyes.
The man approached his wife and held her in his arms comforting her by patting her back, then he said. "Don't worry honey, he is doing business abroad and he most likely changed his sim card, for a local one. He is alright! Of course he will come back. He is a good child, he will never forget his parents!" The man reassured his wife, although he wasn't certain himself, about his son's whereabouts.
Ning Lingyu looked up from the man's tight embrace and asked. "What shall we do in regards to the girl? Do you think she'll..."
"No! I won't allow it!" Said the man with a stern face. He held her for a while longer, then he went to his office to make some phone calls. After he finished, all the hospitals in the capital and the surrounding areas, weren't allowed to perform an abortion surgery on Miss Lu Wei Wei.
In the car, Wei Wei and Chu Nan were silent for a while, then the young man mustered his courage and asked.
"Have you thought about what are you going to do?"
Wei Wei had her head leaning on the car door, looking out the window at the moving landscape. She left out a heavy sigh and answered.
"His parents know as well now, if he still doesn't get in touch by tomorrow at noon, then I will have to book my appointment!"
"I see...!" Replied the young man. Then he drove the young girl back home.
At Hebei Gardens mansion, the Müllers were just kicked out by the staff. Ele didn't plan to stay any longer, as she would have to give her parents an explanation. She swiftly disappeared from their side and got in a cab that was parked nearby.
On the back seat, the young girl made a few phone calls, after she finished her lips curved in a wicked smirk. If it didn't go the nice, polite way she will succeed the dirty way. After all she wasn't an innocent girl anymore.
