Even as she was on the phone with her, though she could hear that something wasn't right with her tone, she still didn't think too conscientiously over it.
It was only after a long while had passed with still no signs of Ruth and the calls that couldn't get through, did Yesseca knew that trouble had occurred.
She had to see Ruth right away.
At the same time, in Nashaland.
Ruth, who was presently muddle-headed, tried to get out of bed several times, but found that she had no strength in her at all.
She palmed her phone out of her pockets.
She wanted to call Yesseca, to tell her that she might not be able to come.
But her phone was dead.
And the charger was on the table.
Ruth gritted her teeth as she struggled to her feet.
She shuffled over to the table with the intention of grabbing the charger and call Yesseca once her phone was plugged in. However, the moment she reached the side of the table, it was as if her legs couldn't bear her weight anymore, turned to jelly and gave out from under her.
Because she had not been eating and drinking for three days straight, plus the strain on her mental state had reached its limit added together with the fall that she had, it was no wonder that she fainted straight away right after she closed her eyes.
At eight o'clock that evening, Tremaine returned to the Quartley Palace.
For the past few days, he had been away from Nashaland visiting foreign dignitaries abroad.
His plane had just touched down on Nashaland soil just a minute ago.
As soon as he entered the Quartley Palace, the first thing he heard was a crying child.
He came upon the sight of Rorita with a child in her arms as she swayed gently back and forth, while Madam Quartley was to the side, constantly amusing the child.
However, the child wailed loudly still, cries of 'Mama!' was heard in between the continuous sobbing.
