Chapter 281: Break
“I know my physique is not the best, but I don’t have any mental illnesses.” The middle-aged woman shook her head.
“Do you still remember the phone ringtone? Situ An hasn’t returned. I have looked around the apartment. It was in your imagination.” Xuan Wen’s tone became severe.
“Imagination?” The middle-aged woman was uncertain.
“It’s a very simple observation. Since your son loves you so much, why would he purposely hide from you?”
“Yes. Situ An will never not answer my call.” The middle-aged woman was in pain. “But…”

The neighbours, plants and even the sun were startlingly pale. The middle-aged woman flipped through the diary. Every page had an entry related to the middle-aged woman. The words were unsettling.

Various words flashed in the woman’s eyes. She lifted her head in confusion.
“It’s my son! I can hear his phone ringing!” The middle-aged woman closed the diary. She wanted to rush out but was held back by Xuan Wen.
“Auntie, please be mindful! You didn’t even call Situ An. Why would his phone ring?”
