Hearing that Hedong's mother had fallen ill, the group lost all inclination to keep joking around. He Xi, who was a doctor, spoke up first this time: "Big brother, what kind of illness does auntie have?"
"I don't know either. Dad didn't explain clearly, only that it might be very serious and told me to get back as soon as possible."
Hearing Hedong's answer, He Wenjie's immediate reaction was that something fishy was going on. He Wenjie and Ding Xiang exchanged a glance, seeing the exact same doubt in each other's eyes, but neither of them said anything. Even if one suspected it was a trick, no one wanted to risk the one-in-a-million chance it was real. So no matter what anyone else said, Hedong definitely had to go back, which made voicing any doubts pointless.
