After more than ten hours of luck, Elizabeth finally woke up from the daze. Although she had slept for a few hours, she had not slept well. Her face was still pale.
"Elizabeth, are you alright? Let's go out for something to eat. You didn't eat anything just now!" Fiona was concerned about the suggestion of not touching the food on the plane at all. This made Fiona very worried.
In addition to protecting her safety, the mission that Joshua had given her had to take care of her everyday life.
"Alright, let's go!" Elizabeth nodded and the two of them followed the crowd out of the airport and sat down at a restaurant beside the airport.
"Elizabeth, Mr. Joshua is calling!" Fiona said as she handed the phone over to Elizabeth.
Elizabeth pursed her lips and smiled.
"Hey, honey!" Elizabeth placed the phone close to her ear and said softly.
"Are you tired after flying for so long?" Joshua showed tender concern.
Elizabeth laughed bitterly: "a little, but I feel very happy to come back here."
That's true. You live a good life in this small town, and I might not have time to visit you soon. Just live a good life together with Fiona and Amandag. Joshua's voice carried a touch of disappointment. Because of the old lady's interference, Joshua was no longer able to fly over to visit her freely.
"Alright, I understand. Don't worry about me, take care of yourself as well." Elizabeth was no longer willful and unreasonable. She would carefully listen to everything Joshua said and remember it in her heart. Moreover, she would not do anything that would make things difficult for him.
"Trust me, I will try my best to accomplish what I promised you. Do you remember?" Joshua remained silent for a moment, and said with a low voice.
"I know. I will stay here." Elizabeth's voice suddenly became choked with sobs.
"Don't cry, it's not like we're leaving each other forever. You just need to believe that we'll meet again very soon." When Joshua heard her sobs, his heart broke. However, he was unable to wipe her tears, making his heart hurt even more.
"Alright, Fiona and I are eating. How about, we hang up first!" Elizabeth did not want her emotions to affect him, so she wanted to hang up first.
"Alright, remember to eat dinner on time.." Joshua was really worried that she wouldn't eat his fill.
"I'm not a child, I care a lot about my health. Besides, I'm afraid of death!" Elizabeth couldn't help but laugh from her tears. His concern made her feel like she was a child who had no ability to take care of herself.
"Just take care yourself." Joshua also laughed humorlessly.
The atmosphere immediately became a lot more relaxed, so Elizabeth could only say: "I really don't want to chat with you anymore, I'm hanging up!"
"Alright!" The man nodded.
Elizabeth was waiting for the other party's man to hang up first, but she realized that she could hear his breathing the entire time, so she could only harden her heart and hang up first.
As Joshua listened to the sounds coming from the other side, a sense of loss flashed across his handsome face. He was so in love that he even wanted to preserve the other's voice. Perhaps he was the only one left.
Not long after Joshua hung up, the old lady suddenly received a call. Someone told her an address abroad.
"Please help me check who registered to this phone!" The old lady's face darkened.
"Young people always love to fight for their career. This is also good. When people are alive, they should do more things that they want to do. They won't regret it when they get old!" The old man finally believed it.
"That's right. When we were young, we did quite a few things. Now, we're filled with memories!" The old lady's eyes were filled with tears. She wanted to wipe them away, but all she could do was blink hard to prevent the tears from falling.
"What's the matter with you?" The old man turned to look at her and realized that something was wrong.
The old lady panicked for a moment, tears still flowing from her eyes. "It's nothing. I just thought about what happened between us when we were young and suddenly felt emotional."
"Alright, I won't talk to you in the way I did before." The old tutor couldn't help but laugh. He extended a hand to pass over a piece of paper, but discovered that his hands were starting to tremble again.
The old lady hurriedly stood up and took a piece of paper. She wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and said, "I'm fine. Don't worry about me."
"I wish I had the time to be with you and the children, but I'm old and don’t have much time left!" The old tutor couldn't help but mock himself.
"Everyone will be old, so don't think too much about it. I'll get someone to cook whatever you want to eat in the afternoon!" The old lady turned her back and her eyes were red again.
"It is up to you. I am not hungry at present." The old man smiled.
"Alright, I'll go down and prepare!" After saying that, the old lady pushed the door open and walked out. The tears that she had just wiped fell uncontrollably.
In her entire life, she'd lied to very few things about the old tutor, but just now, she lied to him one more time.
"Jane, forgive grandmother!" The old lady could not help but sigh.
