"Your mommy it not delicious. The food she bought is delicious." Greg smiled.
"You'd better answer the phone as soon as possible. It has been ringing for a long time." Hearing the vibration of the phone in the pocket of Greg, Leona reminded him.
Greg looked a little embarrassed. He probably knew who called him. He coughed and said, "Okay, I'll go out to answer the phone."
Standing in the corridor of the hospital, Greg took out the phone from his pocket after making sure that he was far enough away from the ward. As expected, it was from Rona. He answered the phone quickly!
"Greg, long time no see. Do you remember me?" On the other end of the phone, Rona's long lost voice came through, which made Greg's heart tighten. Her voice was the same as before, as if it had returned to eight years ago in an instant.
Greg looked out of the window, but there was no focus in his eyes, as if he was looking at something in the void through the window. After a while, he said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Well, are you okay?"
"I I am still the same as before. I heard that you went to Europe." Rona said in a cheerful voice, but Greg felt that she was just pretending to be happy.
Greg kept silent for a while and said, "Yes!"
"Greg, don't you have anything to ask me or say to me?" Finally, on the other side of the phone, Rona couldn't stand the silence of Greg and asked in a choked voice.
"What else should I say? I don't think there is anything to talk about between us. We have already said what we should say, haven't we?" Only Greg himself knew how excited he was at the moment.
He had a grudge against Rona. She was the first woman he had fallen in love with. He had thought that he would never fall in love with other women in his life.
If it weren't for the appearance of Leona, he thought he would still be as bright as before, but in fact, he was living a walking dead life every day, and all this was caused by her!
"Greg, don't do this. I..." Rona's broken voice came through the phone, which upset Greg.
"Well, don't cry anymore!" All of a sudden, Greg roared. Although he was unwilling to admit it, he was still disturbed by Rona's sobbing. He punched the wall beside him to vent his anger.
The sobs on the phone suddenly stopped, followed by a long silence, and a few inaudible sobs. Greg could even imagine that Rona was trying not to cry as before.
However, this made Greg feel even worse. When did they be like this?
Taking a deep breath, Greg tried to keep his voice calm and said, "Why do you call me this time?"
Eight years later, Rona suddenly came to him. Greg believed that there must be a reason. Otherwise, why did she appear at such a sensitive time? He didn't believe that she just found it out of her conscience.
"Greg, I miss you!" Rona's affectionate and cautious voice came through the phone. Although her voice was not loud, it was like a heavy hammer pounding on the heart of Greg.
