Mai Xiaomai urged him to drink it.
Abis took a sip and thought the water was truly refreshing and delicious.

"Wife, come back soon, I miss you, I love you."
Seeing those words, tears blurred her eyes again, preventing her from seeing clearly through the lens.
She turned around to look for tissues to wipe her tears.
