"Mum..." Yue followed his mum around like a lost puppy. "Just this once can I just go and come back. We might get a good lead on her whereabouts"
"As I said, no means no," she continued wiping down the kitchen counters. "Don't even ask me anymore Yue I can't afford to put you at risk."
"I will not be at risk. I am fully trained!!!!"
"Who is fully trained?" Peng Peng entered the kitchen with a curious look on his face.
"Peng Peng, convince my mum that I can go to H city," he clung onto his arms like a leech.
Peng Peng just gently patted his head. "Why don't you let him go? H city is relatively close. Only two hours from here,"
"Still, it's a no for me," his mum calmly whispered. but ever so slightly, her hands were trembling.
"if you want, I can go with him. I'm free for a few days," noticing her weird behaviour. Peng Peng even tried offering this.
