The next day, Haru woke up because of the vibrating of her phone. She picked it up from the study table before answering the call she looked at Callista.

"Hello Nicole,"

[Thank God you answered my call. Arche and Jasper called you a few times, but you didn't answer. Where are you? I went to Carmen's condo because I thought you were there, and also I visited your room here at the hospice, but you weren't there. Where are you? We are worried about you, especially me. Who picked up you in the hospital? It is obvious that it wasn't auntie Emma who picked up you in the hospital, right? Tell me, Haru, who is this person? Arche is now wondering about your actions.]

"Nicole, don't worry, I'm fine, I'm okay."

[Haru... Nicole is that, Haru? Give me your phone. I will talk to her.]
