After hanging up and receiving calls again and again—
Huo Jinnan finally answered and put it on mute before returning to the ward, casually tossing the phone on the table beside the hospital bed.
"Anan."
The old man called out, but with no response, he waited a while and asked as gently as possible, "Are you listening?"
"..."
"Anan..."
After calling out several times, the old man realized.
He had done this often in the past few days, unable to bear Ayun's constant sobbing calls, he'd set his phone aside to prevent nuisance.
He sighed heavily, fearful that Ayun's call at this moment would spoil his plans, but he didn't hang up and set the phone aside, turning to Uncle Guan, "Uncle Guan, do you think it's possible for Anan to return to the military?"
