Chapter 163

**On the Day of the Festival**

Mila was surprised to receive another call from Adrian. Lately, the frequency of his calls had been unusually high.

She had thought that after their last argument, Adrian wouldn't speak to her for months.

Quite unexpected indeed.

Mila paused for a moment, then asked, "How did you get sick? Hasn't your dad been taking care of you? Hand the phone to him, let me speak with him."
