Before he could finish his sentence, he looked at the man. If this was really the wife he bought and she called out using his cell phone, she might run away...
The man also looked at the conductor. "Just take it as a good deed, lend it to her."
The conductor was even more confused this time.
He took the phone off his neck and handed it to Arya.
Arya took it. "Thank you."
She instinctively wanted to dial Xavier's number first, but when she pressed the button, she dialed Orlando's phone. Now she was not sure if Jacob and Xavier could be contacted. She had to contact someone first and leave here before looking for them.
The call was answered soon.
"Who is it?" Orlando was unhappy.
Arya held the phone tightly. "It's me."
Orlando perked up in an instant. "Arya?"
He was so excited that he called Arya's name, not "Miss Harrison".
"I'm in C City. Come and pick me up as soon as possible..."
Orlando looked confused. "Aren't you in M City? Why are you in C City?
"It's a long story. Come here as soon as possible." Her voice was very anxious.
Orlando put away his attitude. "I'll go there as soon as possible."
As he spoke, he was checking the route online to see the fastest way.
He was in H City, which was quite close to that county. "Wait for me for three hours."
Arya said, "Okay, I called you from someone else's phone. I'll wait for you at the bus terminal."
Orlando replied, "OK."
Hanging up the phone, Arya looked at the conductor. "Can I make another call?"
The conductor smiled. "My phone bill is very expensive."
The man took money out and handed it to the conductor. "Let her make a call again."
The conductor glared at the man. "Do I need it?"
The man said, "Didn't you say your charges are very expensive?"
"Yes, it's expensive. Is that enough?"
Arya handed the phone to the conductor. "Here it is. Thank you for letting me make a call just now."
"You can continue. I'll be kind to the end." The conductor waved his hand.
Arya pursed her lips. "Thank you, then."
She took her phone and dialed Xavier's number but it couldn't get through, so did Jacob.
Arya covered her chest with worries.
The plane was out of control. It was really dangerous even no one could tell her the exact condition. She did not dare to continue to think, so she forced herself to calm down.
After returning the phone to the conductor, she kept staring out the window.
Praying silently in her heart, she hoped Xavier would be fine.
After about an hour, the bus stopped. The man got off, and Arya followed him.
"You wanted to wait for the person to pick you up here, right?" The man looked at Arya and said.
He heard what was Arya talking about on the phone just now.
Arya nodded. There were many people at the station. She found a seat and sat down to wait.
The man squatted beside the telegraph pole and Arya made a seat for him. "Sit down for a while."
The man shook his head.
While waiting for Orlando, the man started smoking again.
Arya looked at the thick smoke and remembered the way Xavier smoked.
