"I'll meet him in a few days," Dylan finally managed to say after a long silence.
Zhao Wei pursed her lips for a while, "Silly boy! Why are you avoiding him? I'd hate to see you lose a friend like him because of your sister. So, stop making excuses with yourself and talk to him."
"Ma, I missed you!" Dylan's voice came out like a whine. A whining tone that Zhao Wei was most familiar with.
"I'm right here, why are you missing me?" she retorted trying to sound playful.
Dylan held her tightly, her heart clenched in her chest when she felt something wet on her stomach where his face was buried.
"Is it hurting?" she asked and Dylan didn't reply to her. "I'm sorry that you have to go through this. It isn't even your fault."
"It isn't your fault either," said Dylan. "Every mother loves her kids."
Zhao Wei gave a sad smile as she said, "But maybe my love wasn't enough."
