Since Richard was always strict about discipline, he wouldn’t allow Shirley to act recklessly.
“Alright! Since you’re free over there, take good care of Zacharias. Ensure he makes a swift recovery, as he’s needed to assist your great- uncle with work matters.” He supported his daughter’s decision.
“Yeah, I know, Dad.”
“Your mom would like to speak with you for a moment.”
After Richard finished speaking, a gentle voice came through. “Shirley.” “Mom, what’s up?” Shirley felt a sudden rush of nervousness. Her mother wouldn’t start prying, would she?
“Nothing. I heard you volunteered to look after Zacharias in the hospital. I was a bit surprised. Are you two just friends?”
“Yes, we’re just friends.” Shirley began to feel uneasy.
“Just friends?” Angela wasn’t entirely convinced. As a woman, her intuition told her that her daughter’s proactive care for Zacharias went beyond mere friendship.
“Mom, it’s just friendship. Please don’t jump to conclusions,” Shirley said seriously, wanting to put an end to her mother’s wild speculations.
“Alright, it’s clear that you’ve grown up, become responsible, and know how to care for people.” Angela let the matter rest.
“Mom, I’ll hang up now. Take care of yourselves!” After speaking, Shirley hung up the phone, letting out a small sigh of relief.
Meanwhile, at the base’s lounge, Angela hung up her phone. She asked her husband, “Could our girl actually like Zacharias?”
Richard understood his wife’s implication and asked with a smile, “Is that a problem?”
“Of course not; it’s not a problem at all. I’m just saying, our girl is still so young, but her taste seems pretty good.” She couldn’t help but feel that their daughter was quite fortunate. Everything seemed very promising when she considered Zacharias’ looks, family background, and prospects.
