Zane took Yanis directly into the house and helped her take off her wet clothes. "Go to bed, I'll find you some dry clothes."
Yanis nodded and turned to climb onto the bed.
Zane closed the door and handed Yanis some dry clothes. "Change quickly."
Yanis took the clothes and looked at Zane. "You're wet too. You should change."
Zane nodded. "You change first, stay on the bed, and I'll make some ginger soup for you to warm up."
Yanis looked at Zane's concern and didn't refuse. She knew that drinking ginger soup would put Zane's mind at ease.
After changing her clothes and taking some medicine, Yanis lay on the bed and soon fell into a drowsy sleep.
Zane watched Yanis sleeping and decided not to wake her up. He closed the door and went outside.
During the rain, the phone signal was weak. Zane walked around the yard until he found a spot with some signal.
He called Albi back and discussed some important matters.
As soon as Zane finished talking to Albi and hung up, Allan called again.
"What's up?" Zane answered the phone.
"Are you still in town or at Mitch's house?" Allan asked in a low voice.
"We're at Mitch's house," Zane replied and then asked, "Are you here?"
"I'm in town, but I can't come up now because of the rain. Did Mitch mention the burial time?" Allan asked.
"No, did you ask him yourself?" Zane responded.
Allan said on the phone, "I've called Reed's and Mitch's phones several times, but only yours went through."
Upon hearing Allan's words, Zane remained silent for a few seconds. "Shall I ask for you?"
Allan agreed, "Ask him politely. I'll ask now while it's raining and the signal on the mountain isn't good, so I don't end up being unable to reach him later."
Zane turned around and glanced in one direction, where he saw Mia standing at the doorway, reaching out to feel the rain. Zane called out, "Mia."
Mia looked towards Zane and responded, "Brother Lawrence."
"Go and call your eldest brother, tell him I'm looking for him," Zane instructed.
Mia nodded and walked towards the other side.
Mitch quickly came over from the side and stood in front of Zane. "Mr. Lawrence, you're looking for me?"
"Allan asked when your mother's burial is. He's in town and can't come up now because of the rain," Zane explained.
After hearing Zane's words, Mitch replied, "It's the day after tomorrow at eight in the morning."
Zane turned and reported the time to Allan.
On the other end of the phone, Allan responded, "I'll come up when the rain stops."
Zane acknowledged, "Anything else?"
Allan cleared his throat. "Um, can you pass the phone to Reed?"
Zane had put the phone on speaker when Mitch came over, so Mitch naturally heard Allan's request.
Upon hearing Allan's words, Mitch furrowed his brows. "She can't answer the phone right now; she's talking to my uncle."
