Night slowly deepened.
At midnight, Huo Yishan, who couldn't sleep, took out her phone and dialed the number she hadn't called in a long time.
In the research lab at two in the morning, the only sounds were fingers typing on keyboards and pages being flipped.
The sudden ringing of a phone broke the serene night.
Li Yuan slightly turned his head, moving his gaze from the documents.
When he saw that familiar caller ID, he was momentarily stunned before answering.
Before he could speak, Huo Yishan's voice came through, "Why?"
He wasn't surprised by her voice at all. After two seconds of silence, he spoke slowly, "You go back first, wait for me—"
"Li Yuan! I'm telling you right now, unless you give me a reason, I'm not leaving!" She wanted to know if he had overheard the conversation she had with her father in the hospital room earlier, and if that had hurt him.
