Chapter 355 - An Important Health Screening Report
All good things must always come to an end, and although reluctant, Pei Ge eventually had to send Tang Xiaoyu to the airport.
Her holiday, which was neither short nor long, also came to an end.
That morning, she specially took a half-day leave to bring her good friend to the airport.
“Auntie, I’m leaving now; you take care of yourself.” Tang Xiaoyu hugged Zhang Manhua as she endearingly bid her goodbye.
Zhang Manhua’s eyes rimmed red as she nodded gently. “Alright, you take care of yourself overseas as well. Send my regards to your parents, okay?”
“Mhm!” she affirmed and then, remembering something, quickly added, “Oh, yes, Auntie, when you receive your medical result today; you have to let Ge Ge message me what it says no matter what.”
“I got it. Auntie’s health is very well, so there’s nothing to worry.” She showed a smile thick with emotion.
Pei Ge ended the call once she deemed that she had nagged at her mother enough.
“Ah, what should I do on such a rare half day?” she muttered, suddenly at a loss on what to do.
Seeing that there were still three hours until lunch, she decided to take a nap.
After her beauty sleep, she was surprised to learn that her mother was still not at home.
She yawningly picked up her phone and dialed her mother’s number again.
“Hello, Mom, why aren’t you back yet?” she asked in a sleepy voice.
“Oh, I’m not done yet.” Her mother’s voice seemed to tremor.
Unfortunately, the half-asleep her failed to notice this.
“Why is it taking so long?” she complained.
“Didn’t I say that the hospital is especially crowded today?” she explained.
“Ah, I’ll prepare our lunch, then.”
“Alright, I’ll hung up now.”
“Mhm.”
In the end, when she finished lunch and was about to leave for work, her mother was still not back home.
“Yi, could it be that there are many collecting their medical reports today?” she asked to no one in particular and dialed her mother’s phone once more.
This time, the dial tone sounded for a long time before it connected.
“Hello, Mom, why aren’t you back yet? I already had lunch without you,” she questioned, her voice filling with worry.
“You go to work first; I’m on my way home now.” In the background, she could vaguely hear the rumbling sound of a bus.
An ominous feeling crept into her heart, but she paid it no heed and merely bid her mother a safe trip home before hanging up to leave for work.
