Standing aside, Marnon didn't understand what Yanis was doing. "Have you forgotten the phone number?"
Yanis whispered, "I do, I just don't know who to call."
"The child's father, of course. Just tell him you're safe."
Yanis nodded.
Hearing the voice on the phone, Yanis was inexplicably nervous.
The phone rang several times before it was answered.
The moment the phone was connected, a familiar voice came.
It was a little hoarse and low, "Who is it?"
Just as Yanis was about to speak, there was the sound of brakes, followed by the sound of the car door being slammed shut.
Yanis stuffed the phone into her pocket almost out of instinct.
Sameer got out of the car and looked at Marnon, "Is it done? Let's go, and it will be hard to drive later."
Marnon was also surprised. She replied, "Okay, okay, I bought these things. Put them in the car."
Sameer responded, turned around, and took all the things that were put aside into the car.
While Sameer was carrying stuffs, Yanis took the phone out of her pocket, hung it up, and handed it to the woman, "Thank you, it didn't get through."
The woman took the phone, "It's okay, you can call next time."
"Call whom?"
Sameer asked after hearing the woman's words.
Just as the woman was about to speak, Marnon spoke first, "Oh, her husband got injured. I wanted to call him and say hello, but she said he was at home, and we can say hello next time."
The woman was stunned for a moment, then quickly responded, "Yes, he fell down two days ago and has been resting at home lately."
On hearing this, Sameer also said, "Then tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, we'll drop a visit. He helped us a lot last time."
The woman nodded, "Sure."
Marnon looked at the woman and blinked, "Then goodbye for now."
After speaking, Marnon reached out her hand and held Yanis, then hurried into the car.
Sameer nodded to the woman, turned around, got into the car, and drove off.
Just after the car left, the woman's cell phone rang again.
A low male voice came from over there, "Hello?"
The woman was shocked when she heard the strange man's voice. She asked in the local dialect, "Who are you? Are you a fraud? I don't have any money... So forget it!"
On the other side of the phone, Zane frowned when he heard the woman. "Didn't you call just now?"
The woman was taken aback. She completely forgot that Yanis had just called. "Who called you? Don't try to cheat me of my money, you damn fraud... It's not happening."
Zane hung up the phone.
But he was uneasy. He felt that the call should have come from the person he was thinking of.
But it was another woman's voice.
The dark room was filled with a strong smell of alcohol.
Cans were scattered all over the floor.
He couldn't remember when was the last time he left the room.
