Arissa pulled away from Nicklaus when she heard Stephen's words. She reached for her phone in her pant and typed Collins's contact out before pressing the send sign.
"Excuse me," she said to Nicklaus and Stephen before walking away. The call was connected after a beep and a grateful smile covered her face.
She took in a deep breath. "Collins," she called, closing the door behind her, "How have you been?"
"I'm okay," his voice gave feedback from the other end.
Arissa sighed, trying to control her almost trembling voice. "Are you free?"
"I'm on my way to the hospital, my flight was delayed. How is Adele?" he asked.
Her heart jumped in grace. He's on his way to the hospital was great news. She thought he was still back in his hometown.
She sniffed, "Adele is alright. Just fast asleep_"
"What happened?" Collins cut her off when he heard how trembling her voice sounded, "Are you alright?"
