Chris looked at his daughter’s sorrowful and pitiful expression, his heart breaking. The pain he felt was worse than anything else.

Inescapably vexed, he found himself at wit’s end, bewildered and exasperated, incapable of resorting to scolding or yelling. He could only struggle misery and utter confusion.
Overwhelmed by his daughter’s sobs, Chris’s heart ached with concern worried for any possible mishap. In a moment of desperation, he gave in to her demand, “Hooey, please don’t try. Dad promises to firing your mom back.”

Chris clenched his teeth and insisted. I’m not lying at all. I promise that I will bring your mom back, no matter what it takes”

As he settled himself with Rebeccaana peacefully resting on him, her words echoed in his mind. The could’t shake off those thoughts.
After hesitating for a while, he reluctantly reached for his plane, which was neatly.
However, as he reached for his phone, he realized that he didnt have Rebecca’s contact information saved. It struck him that he hadn’t paid attention to such details. If it hadn’t been for the divorce certificate, he might have almost forgotten that Rebecca was his ex wife.
Chris closed his eyes, attempting to calm his merwhelming thoughts, and made a resolution to himself.
Rebecca, for Rebeccaana’s sake, I’ll give you a chance.”

With each passing second, waiting became torment. Rebecca held her breath and nervously pinched the corner of her clothes.
Sorry, the person you dialed is not answering. Please try again later, the automated voice announced.
Rebecca didn’t give up and called again, but there was still no answer.
“It’s alright, try again,” she reassured herself.

It wasn’t Chris’s voice, but the knew who it was
“Rebercana..” Rebecca blurted out excitedly, her hands gripping the phone tightly.
But just as she called out her daughter’s name, the phone suddenly hung up.
Embarrassment flooded Rebecca’s face as she hurriedly redialed the number,
In the next moment, a message appeared on her screen: “I’m sorry, but the person you’re calling has turned off their phone.”
As if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her head, Rebecca felt her heart freeze.
She felt like collapsing her eyes filled with anxiety, and tears welling up inside.
Why? Why did you hang up? Why did you turn off your phone?
Rebecca didn’t give up. She mechanically dialed the number repeatedly until her phone’s battery ran low. After charging her cellphone, she guarded it closely, fearing she might miss a call from her daughter

“No pleas

With that, Chris ended the call, leaving Rebecca feeling a mix of hope and apprehension. She now had an opportunity, but she also knew it wouldn’t be
