Chapter 38

　　Mae didn’t dare to go back to the villa. She went straight to her old apartment. 　　She buries herself in her tub and washes her skin, layer upon layer. 　　The phone suddenly rings. It's Christian calling. The call that she was painfully looking forward to. In tangled emotions, she still presses the answer button. 　　"So you’re willing to answer at last? Where did you go last night!? Do you know that the whole family is scrambling to find you? " 　　Christian's angry inquiry reverberated white noise in her ear. Mae was biting her mouth desperately, trying to make her voice sound calm and smooth, "Sorry, I met an old classmate last night, and my mobile phone just ran out of power, so..." 　　Christian fell into silence. After a while, he said, "I don't want you to get hurt, but please tell me in advance where you're going next time. My parents and Xian are worried." 　　His concern is like a knife inserted into her heart, choking her speechless.
