157 Festival of Gil 2  

[Father is calling you!]

[ACCEPT]

[DECLINE]

Exhaustion caught on Ren when he stopped working, and he almost dropped dead on the ground from the sudden dizziness. For a time, he saw burn spots before he took a deep breath and calmed his nerves.

Looking at his palms, it was shaking. He huffed a shaky breath as he looked at his screen. Ren had to admit that for a time, he thought of not answering his father. He was thinking of calling him back later. Every second was gold, and he couldn't stop now.

However, his past memories interfered with his decision, and he pressed the [ACCEPT] button. It might be an emergency, and he wouldn't forgive himself if something happened to his family because he prioritized money over them.

"Dad? Is something the matter?" Ren immediately asked despite his panting breaths.

There was silence for a moment before his father said in a serious tone, "Ren, are you okay?"

Ren was baffled why his father's question and asked, "Yeah. Why?"
