After Max left, Laura took a shower.
Nicole had prepared some food for her by the time she came out.
After a day and a night of suffering, she was exhausted.
So Max took her home first before he went to the police station alone.
She needed to rest and they would talk tomorrow.
Laura was indeed hungry now. When she saw the delicious food on the table, she began to dig in without hesitation.
Nicole was happy that Laura was back safe and sound.
While she was eating, Nicole chattered next to her.
Just then, Nicole's phone suddenly rang.
Laura's phone was taken by Diego. They didn't have time to search his body, so she didn't have her phone now.
Nicole took it out and looked at the caller ID. Her face lit up.
Then she thought of something, looked at Laura, and said expectantly, "Laura, it's Stephen. He must have known you were back."
Laura didn't know that Stephen was there that night.
She froze, "How did he know about this? I thought the crew didn't know."
Nicole then quickly told Laura that they met that night.
Seeing that the phone was still ringing, Laura smiled, "What are you waiting for? Pick it up."
So she did.
They heard an anxious voice from the other side of the phone.
"Nicole, I heard that Laura was found. Is it true?"
Nicole glanced at Laura and got permission before saying, "Yes, thank you for asking."
Stephen sounded relieved.
"It's good that she's back. Is she all right? Did she get hurt?"
"She's fine. She's not hurt."
"Who did this? How did she get back?"
Stephen asked so many questions that Nicole wasn't sure if she could answer him.
So she looked at Laura for help.
Laura smiled and reached toward her.
She took over the phone.
She chuckled, "I'm fine, Stephen. I'll tell you in detail when I get back to the set! Don't worry about me."
Stephen was sure she was really okay when he heard her voice.
He was relieved and happy.
"Do you know how scared I was? Nicole hurt her leg that night trying to find you. Everyone was freaking out. It's good that you're okay now."
Hearing that, Laura froze.
She turned to Nicole, "You're hurt?"
Nicole didn't expect Stephen to talk about it and quickly waved her hands.
"I'm fine."
Laura said on the phone, "Well, don't tell anyone for now. I shall be back to the set soon. And we'll see how things go."
Stephen knew that Laura's disappearance was a secret and no one on the set knew about it except the director.
