“Alright, I got it,” Christy Zhong answered immediately. She had to remember this on her head firmly for later.
It was about time to get off work, and Justin’s teacher didn’t call her again. Perhaps the situation was not that bad, was it? Still, Christy was worried. So when she was cleaning James Feng’s desk, she quietly called his teachers and asked about it again. They assured her that he only had a fever, and there was nothing serious.
It was common for children to have a fever, but she was worried if his teachers there would not take good care of Justin. Besides, Justin was too small. If they could not treat him in time, and his fever turned out to be the symptom of other diseases, it would be more troublesome.
“Don’t worry, Ma’am. We will follow up about Justin with you. The teachers on the night shift will also take care of him,” they tried to comfort Christy.
However, as a mom, Christy could not stay still even after they consoled her. She replied to them sincerely: “Thank you, Miss. I’ll tell his other mom to go and look after him. And if there is any emergency, please call me as soon as possible.”
Also, how could Christy not respect Justin’s teachers? She would treat them with good manners because if the teachers were annoyed by her, Justin could get into trouble.
“It’s alright, just keep your phone standby,” but it seemed like they were so friendly to her.
Christy could hardly find a teacher with excellent etiquette, especially to teach a child like Justin. They adored him so much and felt that Justin would be successful in the future. Usually, teachers would naturally pay more attention to such students.
“Certainly. Thank you, and goodbye.” Christy hung up the call. Afterward, she called Wen once more. “Wen, please help me to look after Justin. And let me know if something happens.”
“Alright, now you are rest assured to do your work,” answered Wen generously to her.
James glared at Christy, and he was annoyed. She was slacking off too much. He wondered, when would Christy finish answering calls on her phone? She could not handle her life problems, yet refused Junyan Zhang’s help. What a weird person Christy was. Also, did she love that kid that much?
James also wondered, what would it be if he let Christy know that the twins of a boy and a girl were their children at times like this? No way, it was not the best time to do so anyway. Christy should not find out about it now, especially Anran could wake up anytime!
James did this so that when Anran got back, they could consider her status in his family. He did not care about other people’s feelings, but he would have some illusion whenever he faced Christy.
“Okay, then, I’ll hang up,” Christy was not feeling awkward with Wen. Wen knew her the best, and whatever she did, Wen could always understand her.
Shortly after she hung up, Christy glanced at James and became anxious. She quaked: “Mr. Feng, I’m sorry, I was asking my friend for a moment…” she suddenly paused and could not finish her words. How should Christy explain it to him? Perhaps, the more she spoke, the more mistakes she would make.
His brow knitted as he asked her: “What did you call me?”
James wondered how this woman could forget things easily? Wasn’t it just fine before? And what was going on? He was annoyed since Christy didn’t learn.
For him, a pretty girl could easily attract men, but it was only their appearance that was beautiful, no matter what. And they needed to get along with each other for a while before he could size her heart up.
Christy immediately realized that she did something wrong again and apologized right away, “I’m sorry, Brother James.”
