His phone had already run out of battery two days ago.
Lu Xiao fell silent, walked into the room, and went to charge his phone.
His mother noticed that he seemed out of sorts, exceptionally forlorn, and she felt it was not right to make him feel worse.
When she approached him, she patted his shoulder and gently said, "It's alright, son. I was just joking. Xiaoxian didn't leave impulsively because you left without saying goodbye. She said it was because of work that she had to go back to Shanghai."
At this, her tone paused again as she added, "And, Xiaoxian wouldn't punish you for such a thing. She's just feeling heartache and worry, that's all."
Indeed, which wife wouldn't worry when knowing her husband was on a mission?
Lu Xiao, hearing these words,,
felt an inexplicable heaviness in his heart.
He responded quietly with a hum, acknowledging his mother's words, but in his heart, he simply believed it was just an excuse for her departure.
