The atmosphere seems to be kind of weight. Austin on the other end of the phone chuckles, obviously comforting, "Florence, from the beginning to the end, I am willing to do. It has nothing to do with you." However, his comfort does not make Florence Li feel easier. "Will you come the day after tomorrow?" He asks again tentatively. She has escaped with her son again, and if she goes out now, Brian will be sure to find her. Therefore, she hesitates and unable to decide, holding her cell phone tightly, and doesn’t answer.

Austin knows that she has left Brian, but the situation between them two hasn’t been learned about by him. In Austin’s opinion, she might be not willing to face himself. Although he is kind of disappointment, Austin is still unwilling to force her, "It doesn't matter, it’s OK that you don’t want to come." "Austin, shall we meet at your birthday night? I'll send you my address." His tone gradually recovers. "Sure, I'll come to see you the day after tomorrow." Because of her limitation of mobility, Li can't do much for Austin on his birthday. She just goes to the cake shop to make a birthday cake herself for him on the very day. Welcome to Flying Lines to read the whole novel!
