Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

In the Yamin family, Angie had just woken up. She woke up too early in the morning and overslept when she went back to sleep.
It was quite tiring for her to keep going on like this.
The temperature was too low, so she didn't go out today.
It would probably snow in a few days. The weather was getting colder.
Suddenly, she received a message on her phone. Angie stopped eating her snacks and picked up her phone to check. Christina got married. Stella and Charlie went to work at the company and Chris went to the hospital. There was only Angie left in the huge house.
She was quite lonely every day. It was a world of difference compared to the lively atmosphere of the Roberts family. No wonder William was so boastful.
Angie nodded and smiled as she swiped her phone to take a look. She replied, [I understand. I guarantee that the supervision is in place.] The next day, it was 5 a.m. as usual.
Angie set the alarm again. She woke up early and stood by her son's bed. Today, she changed the way of waking him up. It was too strenuous yesterday.
Angie turned on her phone, cranked up the volume, and played music. Instantly, the wake-up ringtone echoed in Chris's room.
The next second, the deeply asleep Chris jolted awake and quickly started searching for his clothes.
As soon as Chris held the clothes in his hand, he noticed his mother smiling at him by the bed. He threw the clothes back onto the bed and rubbed his hair in frustration. "Mom, please let me go. Can you go back to sleep?" Chris clasped his hands together and begged.
At this moment, Chris even wanted to die.
During the military training at university, Chris had psychological trauma because of this wake-up ringtone. The instructor of their class always rang the wake-up ringtone unexpectedly at night. It was repeated over and over again. Even now, he still remembered it vividly.

Angie had to urge Chris to get married soon. "Do you think I like running to your room and waking you up on such a cold day? If you could just wake up on your own, I wouldn't bother coming to your room. Look at how desolate it is in there." Chris really wanted to tell his mother that he was very annoyed, but he was afraid of being rebuked, so he thought about it and decided not to.
"Can I change it to winter swimming? Can I go to the swimming pool to exercise? Or can go to Trevon's gym for a run?" The temperature outside today was even lower than yesterday.
Chris shivered at the thought.
Angie thought about yesterday's temperature and today's temperature, and her heart suddenly softened. But since the plan had already started, how could she stop before it succeeded? "Just endure it for another half month." Chris wondered, 'Are you really my biological mom? The temperature starts rising after half a month!" Given that today's temperature was even lower than yesterday's, 10 minutes later, Chris directly put on thermal underwear. He even added a gray striped sweater and a black down jacket. Feeling not warm enough before heading out, he threw on a scarf as well.
The temperature outside was still so heartless. Wherever there was a gap, the wind would come in. Chris's teeth were chattering non-stop. In order to prevent himself from freezing to death, Chris decided to run.
As he ran, the cold wind blew into his nostrils, making him suspect that his nose was frozen. He took out a blue medical pocket from his pocket and put it on. He felt a little better.
He ran slowly.
About five minutes later, a young lady ran past him. It was the same young lady from yesterday. Chris stared at her back and was very curious. How much did she love her ex-boyfriend to vent on such a cold day? What Chris did not know was that she did not like to run in the winter. Instead, she had the habit of running outdoors every day, unless it was raining heavily.
Chris lacked exercise and quickly pulled away from the woman. However, he had no intention of chasing after her at all. He continued to run like a snail. His body warmed up as he ran, and he increased his speed slightly.
The cold wind rustled the branches, and a few new tender branches seemed to be about to break. When the cold wind blew past his ears, it was like a sharp knife cutting through.
The woman jogged. Her breathing was steady, and she controlled the rhythm, making her run more effortlessly. She still wore a white Bluetooth earphone in her ears, and perhaps due to the low temperature today, she had wrapped a scarf around her neck.
She pursed her lips, listening to the sound coming from her earphones.
After a while, she answered without stopping, "Yes, I'll go to the office later." The person on the other end of the phone laughed. "If Christina didn't call you personally, you probably wouldn't go." Leia agreed with this point. Indeed, she was just afraid of trouble. She was afraid that everyone would stare at her because of a checkup. "I'm very healthy. The couple is just worrying for nothing." "Because you are alone in Athana. That's why they are worried." "What's there to worry about? I'm already an adult. Besides, I was born and raised in Athana." But the entire family of her moved to Sapphire City.
It was because her parents were worried about her and doted on her, so they wanted to move to Sapphire City to take care of her.
Suddenly, the topic changed. "By the way, I saw another runner more dedicated than me this morning." The person on the other end of the phone was interested. "Huh? What do you mean? Have you found a new companion? Are you abandoning me?" "What are you thinking about? When I just ran, I found a man who came out to exercise after catching a cold. He's probably also an outdoor morning jog enthusiast." The woman thought of the blue mask she had seen just now and said firmly.
However, the person on the other end of the phone did not think so. "You must be mistaken. Didn't the temperature on your side drop again today? Perhaps he's afraid of inhaling cold air?" She retorted, "I don't think so. If he's afraid of inhaling cold air, why would he wear a surgical mask? It's so thin, and what cold air can it block? But it can certainly protect against viruses." If he was concerned about inhaling cold air, he should wear a warming mask. Most people wouldn't wear a medical mask for that purpose.
The person on the other end of the phone guessed again. "What if it's a doctor? He casually took it out of his pocket." Considering that Leia had previously caught a severe cold from jogging in sub-zero weather in Sapphire City, the doctor, after inquiring about the cause, advised her not to jog in sub-zero temperatures in the future. The doctor also provided a list of reasons to support the recommendation.
Therefore, Leia felt that a doctor would not choose to wear a surgical mask in sub-zero weather for a run.
Leia retorted again. "Hey, stop your conjecture. Have you forgotten what that
doctor said when you accompanied me to the hospital?" It was obvious that she had thought of it. She chuckled. Seeing that she had thought of it, Leia asked, "Do you still think that he's a doctor?" "That's true. I don't think there are many lunatics like us." Hearing this, Leia smiled.
After running, Leia went home to take a hot shower and change her clothes. She went to the courtyard of the villa and opened the car that Joseph had given her. It
was a blue one.
Leia opened the car door and got in. She bent down and took the flats from the passenger seat. She changed out of the high-heeled short boots and placed them on the passenger seat. She turned on the navigation and entered the destination. She started the car, stepped on the accelerator, and drove out of the
courtyard.
Leia controlled the steering wheel with one hand and turned on the air conditioner in the car.
She turned on the music and chose a song she liked.
This time was the gathering point for office workers heading to the company, and the traffic was congested. However, Leia remained calm and composed, handling everything with poise and patience. She listened to music, and as she gazed at the long queue, she found an unusual sense of contentment in the moment. Ablack Mercedes-Benz three cars away was not in a good mood. The driver kept honking the horn, and after honking for quite a while, the cars in front still hadn't moved. He glanced at the display screen inside the car.
He opened the car window, and the cold wind poured into the car. Shivering, he
placed one hand on the window and stuck his head out, looking outside. In an effort to maintain his image, he refrained from cursing out loud; instead, he muttered curses under his breath.
At this moment, the central control phone rang. It was a call from the nurse at the
front desk. He swiped the answer button and said, "I can't promise I can arrive there on time." He had already used the fastest time possible to take a shower. He did not expect it to be so congested today.
What the hell? After saying this, he hung up the phone and observed the car
situation in front of him at all times. He prepared to cut in line. The line began to move. The steering wheel of Chris began to move bit by bit, tilting the front of the car. The car behind it did not dare to move for fear of hitting it.

Chris successfully cut the queue for a car and followed up with the same
operation.
At the traffic light, in a blue car, Leia's phone rang. It was from Mona.

Leia stretched out her slender fingers. Her skin was very good, even
her hands. She pressed the answer button on the display seen in the car and connected to the Bluetooth earpiece. "What's the matter?" Mona said, "The meeting at 10 in the morning..." Before Mona could finish,
Leia replied, "I'll be back." She glanced at the time. It was still early. There was still time. The content is on Novelxo.org! Read the latest chapter there!

Mona nodded. "Alright, Ms. March. I'll get ready first." Leia replied, "Okay."
When the traffic light turned green, she released her hand to hang up the phone. Suddenly, a black car in front
cut the queue and rushed straight ahead. Fortunately, she remained very composed. If it were someone
else, they might have started arguing with the driver. Even if not arguing, they would likely be angrily cursing at
the black car in front. The content is on Novelxo.org! Read the latest chapter there!
Leia glanced at the license plate of the black car in front of her. She felt that it
was unsafe and rude for this person to drive.
The black car in front of her was like a rat as it crawled around everywhere. Seeing this, even Leia was speechless.
It had been an hour since Leia arrived at Yamin Hospital.
The 30-minute journey took almost an hour. Leia parked the car. When she got
out of the car, she realized that the car parked beside hers looked very familiar.
Leia changed into a down jacket that reached her ankles. In this weather, she
wouldn't be able to take it if she didn't wear a down jacket. Inside were trousers and a shirt.
She picked up the coffee-colored bucket bag and slung it over her shoulder. Then, she stuffed her hands into her pockets.

Leia walked toward the entrance of Yamin Hospital. When she passed by the black car beside her, she was ack stunned for a moment and realized that it was the car of the rude person who had overtaken her. The content is on Novelxo.org! Read the latest

"What a coincidence! The person was going to the hospital. No wonder he was in such a hurry,' Leia thought to herself.
However, she did not think too much about it and walked straight to the
outpatient building.
When Leia arrived at the hall, she opened her bag and realized that she did not
bring the medical report issued by the company.
She originally wanted to leave, but on second thought, she did not want to make
a second trip.
