She offered an apologetic smile, "Ma'am, I'm sorry, but this breakfast is for my boss, so I can't sell it to you. I'm in a rush to get to work, so I must be off."
"Miss Xi, I'm really sorry. If it weren't for something urgent, I wouldn't trouble you. Today happens to be the thirty-second anniversary of the day we met, and we had this exact breakfast on that day. Moreover, my husband has recently fallen ill and been hospitalized. He loves the breakfast that you have, and since one portion has sold out here, I had to buy it from you. Miss Xi, I really don't want to disappoint my husband. I hope you can understand that he is a patient and help me out."
The lady spoke with deep emotion, and a strong longing could be seen in her eyes.
"Miss Xi, don't you believe what I'm saying? If you wish, you can come with me to see my husband at the hospital," the lady appeared insistent on achieving her goal.
