Chapter 161
Even when Tyler was called away during the middle of the night, he would still return home no matter how late it was.
Vicky received no replies from Tyler, even many minutes later.
The rain was pouring heavily, and the visibility was sparse. It was dangerous to be driving on the road in this weather.
She thought of calling him, but she was worried it would distract him if he was driving, so she decided against it. Nonetheless, she could not possibly fall back to sleep in this state, so she picked up her book and started to read it.
The words were in front of her, yet they barely registered in her mind. Even several minutes in, she did not turn the page.
An hour later, she took her phone and opened up various apps without any meaning. And that still did not help to calm her mind.
It was already two-something and Tyler was still not back yet. Although sometimes he had to leave in the middle of the night, it was very rare for him to stay out late. After some thinking, Vicky finally decided to call him.
Beep, beep, beep!
Oddly, the dial tone sounded like it was drawled, much longer than last time.
For some reason, she felt restless with the phone in her hand. Suddenly, a remote notification voice came from the other side of the phone.
"The number you dialed is unavailable. Please try again.’
Vicky frowned. It was a notification that no one picked up the phone. She thought he could be in the middle of an important meeting or he was on his way back home, so she did not call again.
An hour later, however, Tyler still had not returned nor did he reply to her messages or call. She could not help it; she had to try again. 1
This time, there was no dial tone. The system's cold female voice was heard from the other of the phone instantly.
"The number you called cannot be reached. Please try again later."
