Chapter 182: Mother
Knock Knock
Kim Rock frowned at the sound of a knock on the door. Whoever was outside, couldn’t they see the [DO NOT DISTURB] sign hung outside her room?
"They better have a good reason for disturbing me," she grumbled as she went for the door, opening it without checking who it was. As soon as she laid her eyes on the person outside, her irritation was immediately replaced with surprise.
"Fil?" she called. "You came back?"
Fil pursed her lips and smiled. "I left my luggage, and I didn’t say goodbye properly."
"Oh." Kim let out a shallow chuckle. "That’s okay. You didn’t have to bother."
"And I also want to thank you for looking after me and also, last night," Fil added with a wide smile. "It meant a lot to me. I know you’re busy, but you still came as my plus-one. Thank you."
Kim’s eyes softened, crossing her arms under her chest while leaning her side against the jamb. "You’re welcome," she said, noticing that Fil’s aura was much lighter than when she left. "You seem better now. Is everything okay now?"
"I can’t say everything is okay, but it’s much better than earlier." Fil smacked her lips. "I made you worried earlier, didn’t I?"
"You did." Another short laugh escaped Kim. "But I’m glad you’re feeling much better now."
The two of them stared at each other, smiling. After another several seconds, Fil briefly bid her farewell and turned around. Kim, on the other hand, kept her gaze on her before she reached for the door to close it. But before Kim could, Fil turned around and faced her again.
