Godmother, Please Love Me - Chapter 19
The notification sound of a text message woke me up.
It wasn’t Jiang Ye.
It was a red storm warning.
From the twenty-second floor, the looming dark clouds pressed down from the sky, and the other person who should have been home was still absent.
The clock ticked on to ten o’clock.
The usual video call at this time was silent.
I stared at my phone for a long time, eventually taking the initiative to send a video invitation.
The R&B tune played in the stormy night.
“Love song”
“Love song”
“Love song”
“……”
The repeated words echoed in my ears, yet no one answered.
Instinctively, I messaged Ms. Zheng-he could only have gone to her.
“Has Jiang Ye come back?”
“……He drove off an hour ago.”
An hour ago, just as the storm began.
The messages kept urging every citizen to stay home and avoid driving.
Could Jiang Ye still be on the road?
Bang!
Something hit the glass with a loud noise.
Outside, the storm raged fiercely.
I couldn’t see any streets below.
For the first time, I felt panic and fear.
Is Jiang Ye still on the road?
No, he must have found somewhere to take shelter from the rain.
But this assumption didn’t convince me.
I knew clearly-Jiang Ye would come back for me.
He wouldn’t leave me alone at home.
Because he was afraid, afraid that my inner avoidance and weakness would drive me to sever ties with him, even to the point of self-harm.
