Rong Lin's expression turned blank as he glanced at his phone and then looked away, intending to ignore it, but suddenly, he snapped back to attention, worried that it might be a message from his mother?
Could it be that his mother was still alive after jumping off the cliff?
It was this very thought that made Rong Lin swiftly grab his phone, clumsily swiping open the screen and tapping into the WeChat app.
His previously dull pupils suddenly warmed and then widened as his voice trembled, "Mother... it's from Mother!"
His fingers shook as he clicked on the WeChat message, indeed from Lan Jin. It read: "I am well, do not worry."
These four words reignited hope in Rong Lin. He scrambled up from the ground, a look of ecstatic joy spreading across his handsome face as he jumped up and shouted excitedly:
"It's from Mother, Mother has replied, Mother is still alive!"
"Really?"
