Fannie felt a little embarrassed hearing what she said.
But she knew that Laura had a point.
She was impatient before and didn't think it through.
She didn't refute Laura and said obediently, "Alright. Alright. I got it."
Laura then smiled and stood up with relief.
"I'll call him now."
"Okay."
Laura found Diego's phone number and called him.
It didn't take long for him to pick up his phone.
Diego's playful voice came through.
"Hello?"
Laura grimaced and said, "It's me."
There was an instant silence on the other side of the line.
Then she heard him laughing cheekily, "Oh. What's going on?"
"You promised me yesterday that we would go to the City Hall today and get a divorce. Where are you now?"
"Oops!" Diego suddenly slapped his head, "Gee, my poor memory! How could I forget this! Well... Sorry about that. I was drunk last night and I'm having a terrible hangover. I just woke up. Well... did you talk to your mother about this?"
Laura frowned. She didn't know why, but she thought Diego sounded a bit off.
She said in a calm voice, "So when will you come over?"
"Now it's not a good time. I'm in the middle of something. Hold on a moment. I'll call you back."
Laura had to hang up.
After checking the time, she saw that it was ten in the morning.
Then, she agreed to wait for him,
"Fine. I'll wait for your call then."
"Alright."
After hanging up the phone, Fannie looked at her worriedly, "How is it? When is he coming over?"
Laura frowned. And she vaguely felt a bad feeling. However, she didn't say anything to her mother in case she worried.
She shook her head and said, "He's got something to do right now. He'll come over when he's done. It's still early. The City Hall doesn't close until 5:30. We should be able to get there in time."
Hearing that, Fannie nodded in relief.
Laura was worried about Fannie going through the procedure alone with Diego, she planned to go together.
However, she was not sure when Diego would come over. Therefore, she would stay in the hospital all day today.
She thought Diego would call her when he finished his "work".
However, five hours passed and she did not receive his call.
Laura panicked and called him at 3 in the afternoon.
However, she didn't expect that his phone would be off.
The look on her face changed drastically. And she wasn't sure if Diego didn't answer her phone on purpose or if something suddenly happened to him.
So she had to call him over and over again.
