Miya looks at the caller ID, and it is called by children. Was it Carmen who had something wrong? Miya conjectures and gets through the phone.
“Mummy, come back now.”
Just when she gets through, there is an urgent voice from the phone. Miya feels a little bit nervous. Is her guess right?
“You say it slowly. Is there anything wrong with great grandma?”
Compared with the children, Miya is much calmer, but she feels she has a headache.
“No, the great grandma hasn't come back yet.”
There is another voice from the phone.
“Not yet back?” Miya looks at the time subconsciously. It's only about four o'clock in the afternoon, and it's not dark. Carmen likes to wander around, so there should be no problem. “It's still early. You don't have to worry.”
Miya thinks that even if Joey likes Carmen very much, there is no need that she is so nervous like that.
“Mommy, it's not great-grandma.” Joey's voice is a little annoying. Her mother is so stupid.
“Not her? Then who is that? “Miya asks.
Joey sighs a breath, says, "it is Aileen.”
“Aileen?” Hearing this person, Miya's eyes lit up in an instant. She has been looking for this person for a day, but she hasn't seen a figure. “Is she at home now?”
“Of course, she's still in the little garden, and no one can drag her in.” When Joey says this, she is speechless.
“What's going on?” Miya frowns, and she feels as if something happened.
“In a word, you come back quickly. Now Ben and Andre are having an unreliable conversation with her. I'm going to be crazy.” Joey sighs again.
“OK.”
After making an appointment with her daughter, Miya immediately leaves her work aside. She packs up her things and goes outside.
But Miya just walks a few steps, then she meets someone.
“Don't you usually leave at the closing time? What's the matter today? “
Miya raises her head, and the man in front of her is her husband Alex.
Miya remembers what Joey said just now and thinks that Aileen may not listen to her if she is alone, “you go with me.”
Miya says, and she holds Alex's hand and goes outside.
Seeing that Miya is in a hurry, Alex doesn't understand, “what happened?”
“We go home now. Children said Aileen has been at home," Miya explains, and she does not stop walking at all.
Compared with Miya, Alex is calmer indeed, “Since she is already at home. Why are you in a hurry?”
