Chapter 217
It had finally stopped raining after two days of continuous drizzle . Lu Zhaoyang slept restlessly that night but without anymore nightmares .
Reinvigorated, she prepared breakfast in the morning and even went for a walk with Huo Chen after their meal .
The air outside smelled of fresh earth and leafy greens after the shower .
Their morning walk did not prolong . The renovation works on the second floor were still incomplete .
After a busy morning and lunch, Lu Zhaoyang went back to her room for a nap but could not catch some sleep . She had a premonition that something had happened .
The more she thought about it, the more anxious she felt . In the end, she jumped out of bed and went to get her phone .
She wanted to call someone and ask if anything had happened back at home .
This was the first time she switched on her phone ever since she left . When the screen lit up, she was shocked by the nonstop beeping that signalled new messages .
Her mother had called her for so many times and sent so many messages to her!
She read one of the messages .
"Yang Yang, I'm begging you, no matter where you are, please give me call after you see this . I'm very worried about you!"
Lu Zhaoyang suddenly realized that she had been too thoughtless in not giving her mother a call after escaping .
Nevertheless, she dared not keep her phone active for too long for fear of being tracked by Huo Yunting .

She switched her device off and took out the SIM card .
Her heart was beating so fast it felt like it was threatening to burst through her chest .
She took her bag, put on a jacket, and left her house .
In a shop nearby, she bought a new SIM card and returned to her bedroom with it . She locked the door from inside with trembling hands .
Lu Zhaoyang inserted the new SIM card into her phone, but panicked before she began to dial her mother's number .
It was still early in the night back in the capital . Her mother should still be awake .

Lu Zhaoyang dialed the familiar number . She bit down hard on her lower lip as she waited .
The call went through soon enough . The other person answered with a soft and doubtful but also anxious voice . "Yang Yang, is that you?"
"Mum . . Are you alright?"
Lu Zhaoyang asked with affected calmness . She should have contacted her mother sooner .
When did her mother find out about her escape?
Suddenly, her mother began to sob .
"Yang Yang, come back, please! Come back with your uncle, I'm begging you!"

They knew…
"Mum, I want to make my own decision, just this once . It's too exhausting to stay at home . "
She did not want to go back and face Huo Yunting . That was not going to happen .
Xue Yuming panicked some more and said, "He is your uncle by name, this is akin to being incestu — My dear daughter, come back . As long as you're willing to turn back, we can still salvage this!"
Lu Zhaoyang's lips turned paler and paler . In the end, she inhaled and said haltingly, "I don't want to go back . I know that he's my uncle . Nothing happened between us . I'm just tired and want to get away from the city . "
"Don't lie to us . Everyone in the Huo family knows about your love history! The old missus is very angry . You can't both stay abroad forever! Come back!"Please download our sponsor's game to support us!
