Not Giving Up

When Daniel took the cellphone out of his pocket, he frowned at the sight of the caller's name on the screen. He hesitated to pick it up and let it ring for a long time. Finally, Daniel sighed and answered the phone.

"Hello?" His voice sounded very impatient. He waited for his interlocutor to say something before replying, "Why do I suddenly need to go to Jakarta?"

"..."

"I'm not going! What does she have to do with me? She ran away from the hospital by herself, so why should I go to pick her up?! Who does she think she is?!"

"..."

"I told you that I'm not going! Don't waste your time to force me because it's useless! Bye!" After saying that, Daniel hung up the phone in exasperation.

When Lilia heard his words on the phone, the corner of her mouth lifted into a small smile. As expected, Leila had returned to Jakarta.
