Assault

After talking to his father, Yufan called Ling.

" Yufan is it you?" Ling asked.

" Ya it's me." Yufan said.

Ling gasped and said," Where the hell are you? Why didn't you call me earlier? You know how scared I was. I-"

" I am sorry baby. There was a sudden change in the plan so I had to fly to US. Everything happened so fast that I did not get time to inform you. I am sorry." Yufan said.

Ling sobbed for a while and said," I was scared I thought- I thought that I lost you."

Yufan's heart ached when he heard her sobs," Ling please don't cry. I am sorry. Please honey stop crying. I am okay wait I'll video call you."

" Wait." Ling said.

" What happened?" Yufan asked.

" Don't video call me tonight. I am not in a very good state." Ling said.

" Why?" 

" My eyes are swollen and my hair is also messy. I cannot let you see me like this. What if I scare you away?"
