Chapter 1568

She walked up the basement and away from the house before she finally answered the call. Lily had turned off the location service on her phone, but she was still worried that someone might be able to track her.

"Hello?" As soon as the call connected, she heard a cry from the other end.

It wasn't just a sob. It sounded more like a wail—a heart-piercing howl. This startled her. The volume was so overwhelming that she pulled the phone from her ear. The caller did not speak and continued to cry with no intention of stopping.

It was only after a few seconds before coherent words could be heard. "Lily, I…woo woo… I… woo woo…"

Lily rubbed her temples and tried to comfort Anastasia. "Okay, slow down. Don't worry. Let it all out before you speak."

‘What in the world happened?’

A part of Lily felt helpless. Anastasia was not usually like this. Something big must have happened for her to be crying like this.

Anastasia, with her temperament, would hold it in no matter how unhappy she was.
