Mary had been talking about her daily life for the past twenty minutes when her mother had gradually fallen asleep.

Her mother's physical health was deteriorating. She did not know how much longer she could hold on.

She stood up and tucked her mother in. She then gently opened the door and walked out quietly.

In the hospital hallway, she watched Lucas make a phone by the window.

"Yes... Lucas Murong... The flight is at eight o'clock tonight. Yes... America." Lucas knocked on the windowsill rhythmically. "Yes... Can I return it? Well, cancel the order. Okay, thank you."

When Mary walked towards him, she vaguely heard what he said on the phone.

"America? Are you going back?" Mary asked.

"Here you are!" Hearing the voice, Lucas turned around and hung up the phone. He said to Mary with a smile, "I won't go back so I just canceled the ticket."

"You... Were you going to leave?"

"Yes." Lucas nodded. "I don't have anything else to do here. I wanted to call William to inform him, but he didn't answer."

"It's all my fault." Mary felt sorry. "If you hadn't received a call from Dr. Cao and hadn't picked me up in R Town, you would have been able to leave."

"I volunteered." Lucas raised his eyebrows.

"It's not too late though," said Mary after thinking for a while. "It's not too late to go to the airport now. Why did you cancel the ticket? Let's go now. I'll see you off."

She then pulled Luca

dishes were served.

The sound of the violin in the restaurant was melodious. It was very suitable for chatting and eating.

"Mary," said Lucas suddenly, "could you tell me what happened recently?"

While gazing at the window, she answered, "A lot of things have happened..."

"Then tell me one by one. Perhaps I can help you with it."

"Okay." Mary added with a smile, "You are William's friend so you'll know these things sooner or later. Even if I don't tell you, he'll tell you in the future for sure."

"Right."

"William... He broke up with his father. His father told him that if he were to look for Frank, he would disown him."

Mary told Lucas everything one by one.

After Mary had finished, Lucas frowned and remarked, "Things seem to be very complicated."

"Yes." Mary sighed. She had no idea what to do.

"We can't do anything about it now," said Lucas. "William is very stubborn. Since he has decided to go to Japan, he will not come back until he finds who he is looking for. We can only wait. Let's see if he can bring Frank back."

"Okay." Mary nodded expressionlessly.

"Then, what do you think?" Nervous, Lucas looked at Mary and asked, "If they were to come back together, what are you going to do?"

"Me?" With a self-mockery smile, Mary added, "My marriage to William is just a show made to deceive the public. If they come back together, I will take the initiative and leave William."
