Lately, Cyril had been dealing with a lot because of his sister. He wasn't eager to pick up the phone, but thinking about what his mother had said made his head ache a bit, so he reluctantly answered.
As soon as he answered, he heard his sister crying and screaming as if she had been terribly wronged. Hearing her like that made Cyril frown.
"What's wrong? Why are you crying and shouting again?"
"Brother, please come and save me! He wants to sell me for money! I've never been so mistreated before! Please, you have to come and save me! Mom said you would help me. Please, for the sake of me being your sister, come and save me!"
Bonnie's words left Cyril confused. He didn't quite understand what she meant.
He knew his sister had been infatuated with another man lately and didn't know what to do about it. But he didn't expect her to be sold. That just didn't make sense. Why would anyone want to harm her?
"What are you talking about? I can't quite understand. Explain this clearly. Who's doing this?"
Bonnie was sobbing heavily on the other end of the line, making it hard for Cyril to understand. He was getting impatient, but because she was his sister, he restrained himself and told her to calm down before explaining.
