This had troubled me for a long time. I'd like to know the answer.
If I were seriously injured, my parents would be so anxious that they would fly from another country and stay with me all day. They wouldn't be absent.
Jasmine was either an orphan or her identity was mysterious, and she didn't want us to know.
"She kept her identity secret. I also contacted people at Lincoln University to retrieve her files, but the person in charge had family affairs to attend to and hasn't responded to me."
Colin and I took advantage of the opportunity and had an in-depth talk about Jasmine.
I had always wanted to speak with him to better understand his feelings toward her.
It was important for the future of the three of us. I must make it clear.
Colin didn't hide anything and told me his thoughts. He and Jasmine were merely friends and had no secret romance. What we had to do was to take care of her and let her recover as soon as possible.
With the confidence he gave me, I knew how to deal with Jasmine in the future without being too passive.
...
We planned to fly at 10:00 am, so we got up early. We packed our luggage and planned to leave for the airport at 8:30 am.
Right then, Winston's call came.
Fortunately, the call wasn't to me but Colin.
Colin was so sensitive to Winston that he got upset whenever he heard or saw him.
He frowned in displeasure and picked up the call. He only listened for less than a minute before his expression darkened. He then hung up and looked at me gloomily.
I felt guilty and thought that I had done something to make him unhappy. So, I silently recalled my behavior over the past few days. However, I found that I had done nothing wrong. Why was he looking at me with such scary eyes?
