Suddenly, his phone rang.
Without hesitation, Gerald answered the call.
It was Rebecca. "Gerald, you need to come back. I have something to tell you."
Gerald was stunned for a moment but replied indifferently, "I've just reached Imperial City. I promised Lydia that I would come back."
"I need you back here!" Rebecca groaned. "Please come back now!"
"But I haven't even seen Henry yet!" Gerald just landed at Imperial City, and he did not want to go back so soon.
Rebecca, on the other hand, was unhappy. "I've told you before. As long as he is not stressed by emotional pressure, he'll be fine. Gerald, I'm running out of patience. I must see you in twelve hours."
Then, Rebecca hung up.
Twelve hours was exactly the flight duration from Imperial City to Sumanthova!
Gerald was in a dilemma. In the end, he had no choice but to give Lydia a call. He apologized and told her he could not make it back.
