Parking the car at the side of the road, James did not get off the car in a hurry.
He sat in the car and looked outside the window blandly. The feelings in his heart were complicated.
He had been looking forward to this moment for a long time, but he suddenly felt a little nervous and uneasy.
His phone rang. After he picked it up and had a look, his eyes became soft again.
"Hello?"
On the phone, Elizabeth asked, "Are you busy now?"
"Well, a little bit." His voice was tender, but he didn't speak very fast.
"I just got up, and mom said that you went out to handle something. Is it something in the company?"
James pondered for a moment, "No, it's something else."
Elizabeth didn't ask much and just said, "Oh. Originally, I wanted to wait for you to have dinner together, but mom said that she didn't know when you would come back, so we
didn't wait for you. I asked Auntie Chang to save some dishes for you. If you're hungry when you come back, I'll get up and heat up the food for you."
Hearing her considerate words, James was touched, "Okay. Just go to bed if you're sleepy. I can heat it up on my own if I'm hungry."
"You certainly don't know how to use the microwave. It's okay. Anyway, I can sleep at any time. I seldom exercise every day. When I heat it up for you, I can have a chance to walk around."
"Well, okay."
"By the way, when will you come back? If you come back soon, I'll wait for you and go to bed later."
James thought for a while, "Honey, don't wait for me. I may be very busy and come back late at night. Go to bed first."
"Late at night? Are you in a social activity now?"
"No. I have something else to do."
"Well, don't come back too late."
"I know."
"Go ahead with what you are doing. Come back early when you're done. I'll hang up first." James's heart was moved when he heard this.
She asked him to come back early when he was done...
When he finished what he was doing, he could go home where there were the people he loved and cared about. But...
"Wait a minute." He suddenly said.
"What's wrong?"
"Well..." James hesitated for a moment, "If I find those people... who hurt Xavier that year, what do you think Xavier will do?"
Elizabeth said after a few seconds, "Do you mean that you've found them?"
"That's right."
"Did Xavier tell you anything before? For example, did he say what he would do after finding those people?" Elizabeth asked.
"Yeah." James did not hide it from her, "He asked me to find them."
Elizabeth understood what he meant, "That is to say, you are busy with this matter, right?"
"Yeah." James answered, "I'm looking for another man, and I think I'll find him soon. Now I am outside the hotel where Xavier lives. I suddenly don't know what to do. Although he asked me to find them, I am afraid that... he will not be able to accept the news he will get, because the person who has been caught by me almost doesn't know anything."
