What's more, what Bill and Terri said didn't work at all. All she was thinking about was how to get in touch with John.
She looked up at the clock above her head and found that it was nine o'clock. There was not much time left for the wedding to begin. She became anxious at once.
She lifted the quilt and turned on the computer with bare feet, but she couldn't get on the net no matter how hard she tried. She reached to the back of the desktop and found that there was no cable at all.
She found the tablet computer and tried to connect it to the wireless network. However, it was useless.
And her phone had already disappeared.
"This is going too far!" She complained and threw herself onto the bed. "It's a premeditated plan!"
She collapsed on the bed, racking her brain, and she placed the last hope on the fixed phone on the night table.
In fact, she didn't expect much from it now. But when she saw that the phone line is still connected, a glimmer of hope flashed through her heart.
She picked up the phone and dialed John's number. During the few seconds before the line was connected, Euralia felt her heart was about to jump out of her throat.
"Hello..."
The phone was finally picked up, but the voice from the other end of the line made her heart sink thoroughly.
"Euralia?" Bill's low voice passed through the phone, and he sounds so cold.
She asked dejectedly, "Bill, when will you set me free?"
His voice was colder than before. "I didn't lock you up. I just want you to take good care of yourself. When you get better, you can go out at any time."
"You are a liar. You just want me to give up, and you want to imprison me in the house," said Euralia, biting her lips.
On the other side of the phone, Bill ignored her accusation and said coldly, "Have a rest."
His attitude totally irritated Euralia. She yelled, "Let me out!"
"Do you want to see John?"
"I..."
