The phone beneath her pillow vibrated with a sound that stirred Fu Han awake. As she fished it out, the screen revealed a message from Bai Wei. The moment she realized it wasn't from He Xing, her eyes dimmed with disappointment.
Still, she unlocked her phone and read the brief message. "Fu Han," Bai Wei wrote, "I heard from mom that you're having surgery soon. Hang in there! I have unfinished business back home, so I won't be able to come abroad to be with you. Don't be mad."
When Fu Han had left for overseas, Bai Wei had promised to be there for her surgery, to cheer her on. Fu Han had been moved by the sentiment, but she hadn't taken Bai Wei's words to heart, knowing that Bai Wei obviously preferred staying with Luo Qinghe to coming abroad.
So now, receiving Bai Wei's message, Fu Han didn't need to think twice to guess that Bai Wei's "unfinished business" must be related to Luo Qinghe.
