Chapter 35
Zhang Lisheng who had always been curious about his mother's anxiety that came out of nowhere asked carefully, "Mother, actually, why do you…"
"English! Speak English!" Lili was shocked and shouted loudly .
Zhang Lisheng was stunned for a while with his eyes wide opened . He then asked with hesitation in English, "Mother, are . . . are you alright?"
"I'm sorry, baby . Mother shouted at you, I'm sorry . "
After a moment of silence, Lili held her forehead then said with her shaky voice, "I'm alright . It's just that I'm tired and I'm in a rather bad mood due to the accident that happened . "
Figuring that it was himself who brought such fear to his mother, Zhang Lisheng couldn't bear to ask further . He comforted her by saying, "Take a rest now if you're tired, mother . "
"We're leaving this place tomorrow, aren't we?"
"Yes, rest now . I'll bring you back to New York tomorrow . Good night, baby . " Lili mumbled and switched off the wall lamp in the bedroom .
Both of them didn't speak at all that night .
Morning came . The phone on Zhang Lisheng's bedside table rung and woke him up .
He turned around and realized that his mother was still sleeping so he picked up the phone immediately .
A young and sweet female voice came from the phone and greeted in English, "Dear guest, good morning . "
"This is the Chengdu Golden Dragon Hotel's wake-up call service . It's exactly 9 a . m . now and it's three hours and thirty minutes before the departure of Flight A073 from Chengdu to New York . "
"Would you like us to send breakfast to your room after fifteen minutes?"
Zhang Lisheng noticed the bright sky by looking at the window through the curtain, he then replied softly, "Sure, you can send breakfast to us . Thank you . "
"Alright, sir, Bon appetite and safe journey . "
Lili happened to wake up when Zhang Lisheng hung up the phone . She asked with her hoarse voice while smiling, "Baby, you're awake . Who did you call? Were you saying goodbye to your friend?"
"No, mother . It's the hotel's wake-up call service . Also, they're sending us breakfast . "
It was clear that this was Golden Dragon Hotel's little compensation . Lili nodded without saying anything and got off the bed drowsily .
There were two bathrooms in Room B4507 double bedroom suite . Lili occupied one of them to take a hot shower and lifted her spirit by washing her face with cold water . She then began to contact Johnson who worked for the U . S . consulate in Chengdu .
"Mr . Johnson, may I know if you've completed my son's passport application?"
"Ma'am Lili, we're not applying passport for the young Zhang Lisheng but directly collecting…"
"Okay Mr . Johnson, I'm in a rush to board the plane . All I want to know now is if I can successfully leave China with my child today?"
"Of course you can . Since our consulate had made the promise, we would definitely make it happen . "
"In fact, I'm holding your son's passport at the Golden Dragon Hotel's lobby now . I would be the one contacting you if you called me a couple of seconds later . "
"That's great . " Lili said in relief, "Thanks for coming all the way here . "
"You don't have to thank me, Ma'am Lili . This is my responsibility as an American citizen in a foreign country . "
"I'm entering the elevator now, may I know which room are you staying in?"
"Room B4507 on the 45th floor . "
"Great, see you soon . " Johnson hung up the call after saying that .
Lili walked towards the bathroom immediately and said to Zhang Lisheng that got freshened up after staying in the bathroom for too long, "Baby, Mr . Johnson from the consulate has brought your passport here . "
"I'll meet him in the living room . "
"You can come out already after you're done washing up . We'll go to the airport after breakfast . "
"Yes, mother . " Zhang Lisheng said loudly while looking at his own reflection in front of a big and bright mirror in the bathroom .
All of a sudden, he felt all of his anxieties gush out of him because of the fact that he is going to leave tomorrow to face a brand new life .
With his wizard worm in his arms, Zhang Lisheng had finally calmed down after hours of overthinking . He patted his face and walked out of the bedroom after lifting his spirit .
The sunlight was shining brightly in the living room . Johnson who was just saying goodbye to Lili saw Zhang Lisheng who was walking out of the bedroom . He then smiled and said, "Good morning, young man . You're glowing with great spirit, seems like you're ready to embrace a brand new life . "
"Good morning, Mr . Johnson . Thank you for sending my passport here . "
"You're welcome . "
