All she needed was to know she was still alive.
"How long have I been asleep?" asked Zhao Wanru.
"Not long, you were shot yesterday... it's the second day now... six in the afternoon." Luo Nanyang quickly stopped mid-sentence, realising he was about to reveal too much, almost letting slip that it was now six in the afternoon on the second day.
"What time is it on the second day? Oh! Where is my mobile phone? I will check the time myself." Zhao Wanru can be impatient and instantly began searching for her phone.
"Honey, don't move around. You are still hooked up to an IV! The doctor said that you just had surgery, you can't be holding a radiating device like a mobile phone. It's not good for your recovery. There are no radiating things in this room. I also don't know exactly what time it is."
Luo Nanyang had to continue his lie. As the saying goes, one cannot lie, for once you tell a lie, you have to use many more lies to uphold it.
