Chapter 68: Chapter 68: A Twist of Fate (4)

The phone kept ringing non-stop, and Qiao Mo, gritting her teeth, finally picked it up.

Even though she knew she might not have to contact him again, she couldn’t help but want to know if he was doing well, still wanted to hear his voice...

Even if, perhaps, he might resent her.

"Xiao Mo, you finally answered the phone." Jiang Jinghao breathed a sigh of relief, his voice filled with deep concern.

Hearing the familiar voice, Qiao Mo’s eyes moistened, and she gently curled her lips up, softly saying, "Jing Hao..."

Hearing her voice, he finally felt at ease: "Xiao Mo, were you worried?"

Qiao Mo was slightly stunned... not reacting immediately.

"I didn’t expect to encounter an earthquake; I was trapped here for so long. The communication was cut off, and it was only today that it got restored."

Earthquake?

Qiao Mo was dumbfounded, but she could indeed hear that his voice over there was intermittent.

"Where are you? Are you injured?"

Upon hearing about the earthquake, Qiao Mo couldn’t care about anything else and immediately asked.

Jiang Jinghao comforted gently: "It’s okay, don’t worry, I’m not injured. I didn’t expect to come to Xijing and run into an earthquake, but fortunately, it wasn’t a high magnitude."

Xijing...

"You haven’t come back since your last business trip?"

At the mention of Xijing, Qiao Mo finally realized. Last time at the hospital, when she was on the phone with Jiang Jinghao, he said he would go to Xijing for a business trip for a couple of days, but she hadn’t been paying attention to the news lately and didn’t expect Xijing to experience an earthquake.

"Yes, I’ve been afraid you wouldn’t be able to reach me and worry, so as soon as the communication was restored, I immediately called you to set your mind at rest."

Qiao Mo felt ashamed; she hadn’t contacted him at all recently.

She didn’t even know that he had experienced an earthquake.

"Xiao Mo."

"Hmm?"

"I miss you." Jiang Jinghao gently spoke, his voice carrying a hint of fatigue.

Qiao Mo’s eyes felt sour, and tears fell.

"Promise me, take good care of yourself when I’m not around."

Qiao Mo’s voice was a bit choked up. She quickly wiped the tears from her face and pretended to be relaxed: "Don’t worry, when have I not taken good care of myself?"

"Xiao Mo, can you do me a favor?"

"Tell me."

"I’ve been unable to reach my mom. Since the communication was restored, I’ve called her several times, but no one picks up. You know, she’s the only one at home, and I’m worried... worried something might have happened to her."

Jiang Jinghao’s brows were tightly furrowed, his voice filled with thick concern.

"Aunt Feng?" Qiao Mo was taken aback.

Jiang Jinghao had always been dependent on his mother since childhood. She was alone at home, and almost never failed to answer his calls.

Hearing him say this, Qiao Mo couldn’t help but start worrying too.

Aunt Feng was very nice and had always been good to her, like a mother.

"Okay, don’t worry, I’ll go to your house to have a look right away. Maybe Aunt Feng’s phone has some issues. As soon as there’s news, I’ll let you know immediately." Qiao Mo spoke again.

"Okay, flights are tight recently, most of them are being used to transport supplies and the wounded, it might take a few more days for me to get back. Please take care of my mom for me." Jiang Jinghao spoke again, giving uneasy instructions: "Hey, it’s late now, don’t go out alone. I won’t be at ease."

Qiao Mo nodded in agreement: "Okay, I’ll ask Qinghuan to go with me."

After speaking, Qiao Mo seemed to think of something, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke again: "Jing Hao, have you... have you received the message I sent?"
