CHAPTER 190
As soon as Mrs Yang heard her eldest son's voice, she felt a little sense of relief but she still could not help but worry a great deal. She had waited for him in the living room since he called and told her he had arrived at City X and would soon be home.
But two hours had passed and her son was not forthcoming. She began to panic, even more, when he was not picking up her calls. Her heart swelled in dangerous anxiety. So hearing his voice now, it's only natural for her to ask him a lot of questions about his well being and whereabouts.
"Xiaokai! Is that really you?" She asked when he spoke.
"Yes, mum. It is me," he answered.
"Oh my goodness. Are you okay? Why have you not been picking up my calls?" Did anything happen to you? Where are you? I'm coming to get you, right now," she bombarded him with questions, not even allowing him to utter a single sound not to even talk of a word.
