“I'll come pick you up right now! Two hours at most! Oh no, one and a half! Wait for me!”
“Alright. But, Anne, don't rush, okay? Drive carefully.”
Even at this moment, my mother was still worrying about me.
I set the GPS to the last location from my mom’s phone, it was a service area about 150 kilometers away. Less than ten minutes after I drove out, my phone rang. The car screen flashed Liam.
“Anne, your mom called me saying you’re going to pick her up? Then hurry up! The fireworks show is about to start...”
I simply laughed angrily, “Liam, you left my mom alone at a highway service area and you still have the nerve to rush me?”
The background noise on his end was loud and I could faintly hear his mom laughter. “Don't talk nonsense! How did I abandon your mom? I just told her to take the bus and come by herself.”
"She’s an adult, isn’t she? Can’t she read or buy a ticket? She always makes things complicated! We wasted half a day waiting for her at that service area. My mom’s already annoyed waiting!"
