Chapter 1830: 440: Suwen is a great beauty_4

"I’m in the car now."

After sending this voice message, Viola Thompson made a video call.

"Viola, dear!"

Seeing her beloved daughter, Mary Perryne’s face was filled with a kind smile.

"Mom."

It was eight in the morning for Viola, and the sunlight was just shining in through the car window, casting a shallow layer of gold on her, "I have something to tell you."

"What is it?" Mary asked.

Viola continued, "Something came up here, and I won’t be able to come back on Monday."

I won’t be back!

Hearing this, Mary was very anxious, "Then when can you come back?"

"I guess in about a week," Viola answered.

Mary continued, "What suddenly happened? Does it have to be you there? Can’t someone else handle it?"

She hadn’t seen her daughter for two months.

Ever since the zombie virus, her heart had been weighed down with worry. She had just been eagerly awaiting news of Viola’s return, and now she suddenly told her that she wouldn’t be back on Monday.

This was unacceptable to Mary.

Viola looked at Mary with a smile, "Mom, don’t worry, this mission is not dangerous at all, it just takes about ten to fifteen days."

Ten to fifteen days?

Mary immediately said, "Didn’t you just say it would only take a week?"

This change was too sudden.

Viola said, "Just relax, it won’t be more than half a month at most."

"Is it possible for you not to go?" Mary frowned tightly, "Viola, mom misses you."

Hearing this, Viola also felt some discomfort, "Mom, I miss you too. I promise you, I will come back as soon as possible."

Mary’s expression looked very troubled.

A moment later, Mary asked again, "What mission are you on this time? Is it really not dangerous?"

The Ebola Virus is contagious, and currently, there is no cure.

Of course, Viola wouldn’t tell Mary this.

She smiled and said, "It’s really not dangerous, I’m just going to attend a few lectures."

"Really?" Mary asked.

"Of course, it’s true," Viola added, "Mom, would I still deceive you?"

Mary sighed, "Viola, I finally got you back after so much effort, I don’t want anything to happen to you, I don’t want you taking risks. I don’t even look forward to any great achievements from you, I just want you to be safe."

What she wanted was very simple.

Just a family reunion.

"Mom, I know, I promise you, as soon as I finish this mission, I’ll fly right back."

"Okay," Mary nodded.

Shortly after, the two hung up the video call.

Although Viola assured her repeatedly that nothing would happen, Mary still felt a bit uneasy. When she went back to the bedroom, she brought up the matter with Sawyer Thompson.

Hearing that his daughter wouldn’t be coming back again on Monday, Sawyer was very worried too.

But he still comforted his wife, smiling, "Our Viola is so capable, she’s not even afraid of the zombie virus. You, stop worrying about nothing!"

Mary sighed.

Sawyer added, "Besides, Viola isn’t the sort of person who lacks judgment. Rest assured, she definitely won’t let herself encounter any danger."

His daughter was not only his daughter.

Viola had even more important responsibilities.

Mary nodded, "I’ll go to the temple to get a talisman for her safety tomorrow."

That was all Mary could do for now.

Mandel Thompson parked the car at the entrance of the Astir family’s residential complex and sent a WhatsApp message to Isla Astir.

[C’me out, I’m at the entrance of your compound.]

Ever since establishing a romantic relationship with Isla, he dared not drive his car to the front of her apartment.

He was afraid of being discovered by Astir’s parents.

After receiving the WhatsApp, Isla hurried outside immediately.

Just reaching the gate, she saw Mandel standing in front of the panda statue at the entrance.

Mandel was tall and well-presented, and even the dark night couldn’t hide his allure, so Isla spotted him at first glance.

Isla ran up to him, "It’s so late, what are you doing here?"

Mandel took out a box of dessert, "I brought this for you."

Isla accepted the dessert box and was surprised to find it was the dessert Mandel had sent her a picture of.

How had she responded at the time?

She said she liked it.

She hadn’t expected that her casual reply would lead Mandel to actually bring the dessert to her.

"Are you moved now, Miss Astir?" Mandel asked at this moment.

"A little," Isla answered.

It hadn’t been easy for Mandel to do this.
