”I hope you're doing well Gramps… I'm hanging up,” With that said piece, Ethan immediately hang up on his persistent grandfather. Just talking with him reminds him of his words that nights, hence, Ethan Lu wanted to retain the slightest delusion that his grandfather was a normal person.

As soon as he cut the line with his grandfather, Ethan's phone rang again. Fortunately, he arrived at his place as he drove with his usual speed unlike when Lexi on board. Parking his luxurious car, Ethan frowned to see the caller ID of Chris Yu.
