It was probably Fletcher, Talia, or the old Simpson who informed Ayan about what happened tonight. Hearing him speak this way, Camille nodded in agreement, "Yes, I know."
Ayan's eyes were exceptionally tender, and his tone was very gentle as he said, "It's getting late. Get some rest. I might be back tomorrow evening."
"Alright, you get some rest too."
"Okay, good night!"
"Good night!"
After bidding each other goodbye, the call ended.
Camille didn't ask Ayan about Grace's situation. She didn't want to inquire too much because sometimes no news was the best news. As for where Grace had gone, it was better not to know; at least that way she wouldn't worry about accidentally letting something slip.
Camille thought this way, and her face finally relaxed.
That night, Camille fell asleep before 11 p. m., and her phone's ringing woke her up the next morning.
It was not her usual alarm clock; it was a call.
It was still not seven o'clock, and Camille's regular alarm was set for 7:20 a. m. So, she was being woken up nearly twenty minutes earlier than usual, which could make a significant difference in the quality of her sleep.
Camille wasn't too happy to be awakened like this. The phone kept ringing as if there was an insistent message that it would continue until she answered it.
Camille stared at her phone with an expressionless face for several seconds before slowly and reluctantly answering the call.
"Hello?"
"Is this Miss Armstrong? This is Hance City Hospital. Can I trouble you to come over now? Your mother had a car accident and is currently hospitalized. We need a family member to come in and sign the papers."
It was a woman's voice.
Camille was taken aback, and her face was filled with incredulous shock. She asked in disbelief, "My mother? Are you sure you haven't got it wrong?"
"Your mother isn't Mrs. Armstrong? There's no mistake. It was your mother who asked me to call you. She initially tried to call you from her phone, but we couldn't get through, so I called you from the hospital phone. Please come to the hospital right away. You haven't settled the bill yet. She has a mild concussion, and her mental state isn't very good. Do you want to have a more detailed examination?"
After the nurse had finished speaking, she repeatedly reminded Camille to come to the hospital immediately.
Camille remained stunned, and her mind was filled with questions about this situation. She lay still in bed for several minutes, not moving. Eventually, she lifted the covers and got out of bed.
She looked at the time; it was almost 7:30. Ayan probably hadn't woken up yet.
Camille left her phone on the bed and went to freshen up. By the time she was done, it was nearly 7:30. She picked up her phone and sent a message to Kian.
Originally, she thought that if Kian didn't reply, she would let it be, but Kian replied very quickly.
Upon seeing the message, Camille immediately dialed Kian's number. Receiving a call from Camille this early, Kian was quite surprised, "Mrs. Simpson, is there something you need?"
Kian's tone had a hint of nervousness.
Camille smiled gently and said, "Don't be nervous; I'm not calling about him."
Kian quickly responded, "Mrs. Simpson, you have misunderstood; I didn't mean it that way."
"Really? Why do I feel you're quite tense? You're not hiding something from me, are you?"
