You Little Liar!

Even though she dreaded his answer, Yu Lili asked, "Are you ... at your mother's house?"

Ou Ming answered lightly, "Yes, I am still here. Remember to go to bed early and don't forget to take your medicine."

Yu Lili's heart dropped. Her mind felt numb and her mouth so dry that she could not say anything for several minutes.

Finally, she said, "I know, I will. I'll let you get back to what you're doing."

"Goodnight!"

"Goodnight!"

Yu Lili hung up the phone. The room was as silent as the grave. It was as if Ou Ming had hollowed out all of her happiness from the past few days. She was left feeling empty and alone. She laid down and looked at the ceiling for a long time before she threw her cell phone across the room and covered her head with a quilt.

Another sleepless night.
