Chapter 229 - 230 Initiative
A sound like that of a newborn kitten’s meow came from Gina Lopez’s mouth, so faint she could barely hear it herself. This left her somewhat speechless.
She thought back carefully to the day she heard Sunny Nguyen’s voice. It didn’t start off with a meow. Instead, she was humming. That seemed easier to learn. So, taking a deep breath, she finally let out a hum.
"That’s not so hard, is it?" Gina Lopez was quite pleased with the sound she made, and it was louder than before.
Still, the sound wasn’t loud enough to carry outside. She tried again, humming a little louder.
"Hey, are you feeling okay?" James Brown’s voice suddenly rang in her ear.
Gina was startled and stared at James dumbfounded. Wasn’t this guy asleep? How did he wake up?
"Hey, I’m talking to you. Are you feeling unwell? It’s not another fever like last time, is it?" James turned to face her and reached out to touch Gina’s forehead.
Gina slapped James’s hand away, her face flushed with both shame and embarrassment: "I’m fine."
"If you’re fine, then why are you humming? Are you in pain?" James frowned.
"I... I..." Gina immediately felt like a complete failure, realizing her humming sounded like it was done in pain, which meant she must have learned it wrong.
"Ahaha..." James suddenly wore a mischievous smile, saying, "I get it now. You wanted to learn that kind of sound to show your parents, huh?"
