Nan Chen went back to his seat after hanging up.

Then, he stayed silent.

Ning Ran was about to go insane.

He wasn’t leaving, nor was he saying anything. How much longer would this silence go on?

She didn’t know if she could hold back much longer.

“You can really just go. I only have a fever right now, and it’s not even that bad,” Ning Ran said.

Nan Chen still kept quiet and let the silence play on.

At that moment, Ning Ran’s phone rang. The call was from Erbao.

Ning Ran was a little frazzled as she didn’t know what to tell the child.

She didn’t want them to worry, but she couldn’t keep hiding things from them and lying about it, either. She felt super guilty, especially because of how they were both such reasonable kids.

“Pick up the call,” Nan Chen reminded Ning Ran.

Ning Ran finally woke up from her daze. “Honey?”

“Mommy, where are you?” Erbao asked.

“I’m working,” Ning Ran replied.

“What time will you come home?” Erbao asked.

“In a little while, sweetie.”

Ning Ran was taken aback when she said that.

That was an awfully casual lie she had just made up. She was still in the hospital! She didn’t even know when she was going to come home. How had she lied to them so easily?

She was facing this problem quite often recently. She wouldn’t think before speaking, then she would come to regret it.

Was she slowly becoming less intelligent, or had she just never been that smart?

Nan Chen frowned.

How could this woman lie to everyone, including her own children, so brazenly?

Erbao was overjoyed to hear that her Mommy was coming home.

“Okay. Mommy, remember to bring some good food for me! I’m hungry.”

“Yep, of course, sweetheart,” Ning Ran replied.

After she hung up, Ning Ran looked at Nan Chen helplessly.

“Are you always this dishonest?” Nan Chen asked coldly.

“I wasn’t being dishonest,” Ning Ran protested, feeling wronged.

“What do we do now? You just lied to the kid!”

“I didn’t lie to her! I really do want to see her. I miss them; I miss them a lot,” Ning Ran said.

“Why?” Nan Chen didn’t really understand.

“I don’t know! Whenever I get nauseous or feel like blacking out, I’ll start missing my kids, a lot. I just want to see them again.” Ning Ran was getting pretty worked up.

Nan Chen thought about it. Maybe people really did miss the ones that they loved the most whenever they were the weakest.
