Zachary immediately called Queenie as he walked out of the ward.
The first call was rejected.
Despite that, Zachary was not bothered by it at all. After all, Queenie had always hung up on him.
Without a second thought, Zachary dialed her number again. This time, the call was connected. However, Queenie said in an annoyed tone, “Zachary, are you done? Don’t you know that I’m having an academic conference now?”
“Queenie, You’ve got to come back now,” Zachary replied. He then immediately recounted the event that happened in Soir Coffee in fear that she would hang up. “Mr. Nightshire and Mr. Morgan already agreed to send over a helicopter to pick you up. Do you think you could request some leave and come back?”.
There was a heavy silence on the other end of the line for a few seconds. Just when Zachary thought that Queenie had already hung up, she suddenly said, “I’m going to ask for a leave now and then head straight to Reynolds Airport.”
“Okay!” Zachary was overjoyed as he heard that. Right when he wanted to share with her an update about the pacemaker, Queenie had already ended the call.
Zachary was left bewildered. He thought that the reason she agreed was that she had changed her attitude toward him. But it seemed that it wasn’t because of him that she
was willing to return.
Zachary did not think much about it. He was merely under the impression that it was for the sake of Mr. Morgan that she agreed to come back.
After that, Zachary immediately made his way back to the ward and informed Vinson that Queenie was on her way to Reynolds Airport.
