"Most definitely!" Xiao Zhou declared. "Well, Sister-in-law, I think Brother Shen here as fallen asleep again. I guess that's all for now. I'm hanging up."
"Alright. Thanks for your help."
"Not at all." Xiao Zhou hung up the phone with his heart beating in his throat and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He passed the cellphone back to Shen Zhilie and uneasily said, "Brother Shen, is it appropriate to lie to your girlfriend like that? I think it's better if we just told her the truth."
Shen Zhilie laid on the bed and narrowed his eyes. His face looked ashen.
A tube was inserted into his hand, and a translucent fluid could be seen flowing into his body.
When he heard Xiao Zhou's suggestion, Shen Zhilie opened his eyes and remarked, "It'll be worse if we tell her. She will worry."
