After sending the message, he held onto his phone, anxiously waiting for Melody's reply.
However, what he got was like a stone sinking into the sea.
His mind was filled with myriad thoughts, imagining all the most unlikely but most feared scenarios.
Finally, during his long wait, his phone made a noise.
The moment he saw the screen light up, he was overwhelmed with excitement.
But at the same time, he was afraid.
Excited that Melody called him.
Afraid that Melody would say something cruel to him.
His fingers trembled uncontrollably; no matter how scared he was, he wouldn't miss this, and quickly answered the call, "Melody..."
The gentle call, as always, brought a mist over Melody Parker's heart again.
She paused, waited for the moist sensation in her heart to settle, before replying normally, "Yes, it's me."
After speaking, without waiting for the other person to say anything, Melody Parker gently asked, "Neal, have you been well lately?"
