Hence, the loving couple was exchanging sweet words and stealing kisses without any care who was watching them aka Ryn who was sitting behind.

Ryn uncrossed and crossed back her legs. Maybe it was a bad idea to follow this couple home.

\”Do you want to go home or follow me to the mansion?\” Mika asked suddenly.

\”Home.\”

Ryn did not try to call her mother again. She decided to call her once she reached home. She was worried, yes, but she also felt if it was an emergency, her mother would at least tell her by message when she could not contact her.

Maybe Jason was missing Mika too much until the car was slower than usual as if he was trying to prolong the time both of them together, even ignoring the honk coming from the drivers behind them.

It took them twice longer before the car stopped right in front of Ryn's apartment. Jason helped taking out the huge luggage for Ryn while the best friends hugging each other tightly.

\”Call me tomorrow,\” Mika reminded.

\”Yes… yes…\” Ryn murmured and pulled herself from the embrace. Then, she took the luggage Jason pulled toward the elevator and waved again at her best friend. She pressed the button and waited until the door slid open before she pulled the bag into the small area.

\”Let's go, babe. We should go home. Your mother must be missing you so much,\” Jason rested his hand on Mika's slim waist and pulled her slightly toward the car.

Mika let him do that, even let him helping to put the seat belt around her before gifted him a kiss on the lips.

\”Let's go home. I'm tired,\” she murmured and closed her eyes drowsily.

Jason stole another kiss on her hand before changed the gear and drove the car away. His mind was busy thinking about how to make the family agree for him to spend the time at the house with Mika. Even just to accompany her sleeping.

Ryn, on the other hand, pulled her heavy bag out of the elevator, heading to her own house. She was tired from the long flight and all she could think of was sleeping.

But first…

Once she dropped the bag at the door after she locked back the door, she took out her phone and looked for her mother's number.

She waited for several rings until finally, her mother answered the call.

\”Hello, mother?\”

\”Ryn darling, finally.\”

Ryn sat on the couch and rested her head on her hand. Her heart pounded.

\”What's wrong, mother? I found quite a lot of messages from you but I could understand nothing,\” Ryn asked hurriedly.

\”Oh, nothing. Your father and I are missing you,\” her mother laughed.

Ryn frowned. Despite the laughter, Ryn could feel something wrong in her voice.

\”Mother?\”

\”Is there anything wrong? Don't hide anything from me,\” Ryn asked.

Her mother sighed a bit.

\”Mother, please.\”

Her mother mumbled something under her breath but Ryn could not hear even a word.

\”Mother.\”

\”Fine. Your father was admitted to the hospital yesterday.\”

Ryn's face changed.

\”What? Why?\”

\”The doctor said his blood pressure was too high. It must be because of the stress from his work,\” her mother said.

\”How is he now, mother? Is he still in the hospital?\”

\”He's already at home, resting,\” her mother replied.

\”I'll go home tomorrow, is it okay for you?\” without thinking, Ryn decided to go to her parents. It has been months since they last met and truthfully, she missed them desperately. They were supposed to be away for three months, selling whatever caught their interest at the moment and then returned home. Who could guess her parents decided to stay at the countryside for so long and did not even have the plan to return and live with their only daughter like they should.

\”Oh, you don't have to. Your father is okay now. I've increased his vegetables intake and of course, have made him my special tofu cupcake to make him feel better,\” her mother said hurriedly.

\”Oh, mom,\” Ryn rubbed her temple. She had no doubt her father regretted getting sick when he was presented with the cupcakes.
