Chapter 1108
The text message was the same as a few days ago, all about Essie and Roddy’s daily life, as well as Essie’s treatment progress.
So, why did he wait until this time today to message me?
Was it even right after I finished talking to Johnathan?
I pursed my lips and dialed Reynaldo’s number directly.
Sure enough, no one answered over there.
I chuckled, so it was obvious who sent this message.
I lay exhausted on the carpet, staring blankly at the ceiling.
In the restless and uncertain night, every minute and every second felt as long as a century.
I don’t know how long had passed, when a hint of light appeared on the horizon.
I slowly got up from the ground, leaned against the window, and quietly watched the sun rise.
At this moment, my phone rang again.
I mechanically looked at the phone on the ground, hesitated for a while, and then got up and walked over.
I was surprised that this time, it was Reynaldo who called.
I unconsciously tugged at my lips and pressed the answer button.

There was silence at the other end of the phone.
Silent until I wanted to scream, to go crazy.
But in the end, I managed to suppress my emotions.
I looked at my phone and asked lightly, “What’s up?”
“Last night I drank too much, so I didn’t send you the message in time, nor did I answer your call in time.”
“Have you had too much to drink?”
I chuckled and said, “You don’t have to lie to me like this. Do you think I would worry about you?”
I told you, “No way!”
You are dead or alive has nothing to do with me, I will not worry about you, nor will I rush you.
“No! Never ever!”
I growled lowly, tears falling uncontrollably.
My heart was twisted into a knot, hurting badly.
I smiled at the phone and said, “You really are quite self–righteous and opinionated.”
You were going to give up on me, you were going to cut ties with me, and I was worried about what you would do? What a joke!
I told you, “I was worried about the two children, not you!”
“Cough…cough…”
There was a sudden suppressed cough on the other end of the phone.

His breath seemed a little unstable, and his breathing became very heavy.
I unconsciously grabbed my phone tightly, and after a while, I said in a low voice, “Reynaldo, shall we have a video call?”
Reynaldo paused for two seconds and said quietly. “I’m a bit busy right now, so let’s just talk on the phone.”
I smiled and said, “Inconvenient? What’s inconvenient? Is there another woman lying beside you?”
“Esmeralda!”
The man suddenly growled at me, but then he coughed, as if covering his mouth with his hand, coughing very suppressed.
He seemed afraid that I would discover something, and hurriedly said, “The children… the children are fine. You don’t need to worry. Just hang up for now.”
Immediately after that, there was a busy tone on the phone.
I slowly put down my phone, silently chuckled, but laughed with tears all over my face.
It doesn’t matter, they were all afraid that I would worry, claiming to be considerate of me, for my own good.
Then I followed their wishes, not worrying, not asking.
Anyway, Reynaldo also wanted to distance himself from me. He wouldn’t tell the truth on the phone, so I didn’t need to worry about him anymore.
I slowly wiped away the tears on my face, and then went
