CHAPTER 245: CHAPTER 248

Suddenly, a surge of indescribable heartache and pity filled his heart, so he added, "Brother Jackson misses you very much."

On the phone, Mia Ginger suddenly choked up.

Was she crying?

Koa Jackson instinctively fell silent.

For the first time, he truly felt the pain emanating from his chest.

He wished he could be right by her side, comforting her sudden panic.

How lucky he was to receive such sincere and passionate love.

Koa Jackson couldn’t help but sigh inwardly, his voice becoming much gentler than usual as he softly coaxed her over the phone for quite a while. Eventually, he even told two cold jokes he had heard back in college, and finally, Mia Ginger burst into laughter.

Hearing her laughter, Koa Jackson finally felt relieved.

He glanced at the time and said tenderly, "It’s very late, go to sleep early. I’ll visit you as soon as I can."

"Mm, goodnight, Brother Jackson," Mia Ginger said with a smile.

"Goodnight."

After hesitating for a moment, she heard the rather joyful low laugh of Koa Jackson on the phone,

"Good girl, go to sleep," Koa Jackson said with a smile in his voice.

Mia Ginger held onto the phone for quite a while without hanging up.

He hadn’t hung up either.

After a while, she uncertainly asked, "Why haven’t you hung up yet?"

"Reluctant to," Mia Ginger replied.

In every call between the two, Koa Jackson was always the one to hang up first, hence he never noticed this situation of hers.

Mia Ginger occasionally felt sad but never mentioned it to him.

Koa Jackson was silent for a brief moment and suggested, "Let’s count one, two, three together, then hang up."

"Mm," Mia Ginger chuckled lightly.

"One, two, three."

After the count of three, Mia Ginger heard the dial tone from the phone.

She laughed and hung up the phone.

She truly felt the lingering affection from Koa Jackson.

Though maybe not as fiery and crazy as hers, it was already surprising enough for her.

It was more than enough.

Her heart felt warm and content, almost to the point of tears.

Mia Ginger held her phone and turned back to her dormitory.

Thinking about the incredibly gentle Koa Jackson from earlier, she found it hard to put down her phone.

She held it as she slept the whole night.

It was as if the phone was Koa Jackson.

——

The next day, at around five in the morning.

Mia Ginger habitually opened her eyes, unable to fall back asleep.

In the midst of turning over, she unconsciously glanced toward Windsor Myres’ side but found her bed empty.

Didn’t she come back last night?

That’s odd.

Mia Ginger thought groggily, feeling a bit dazed.

After a while, with no sense of sleep, she quietly got out of bed.

After freshening up, she stood on the balcony, looked at the deep blue sky, and felt like going for a run.

She was a person of action.

With that thought, she turned back to her dorm, grabbed her phone, and headed towards the training field.

There weren’t too many runners, each in their own unit, circling around the track.

Mia Ginger’s gaze swept around, unexpectedly spotting Windsor Myres jogging not far away, closely following a tall young man ahead.

That young man?

It was Camden River.

She hadn’t given up yet, huh?

Mia Ginger stepped onto the track and pondered while jogging, suddenly feeling Windsor Myres had quite some determination.
