章 459: I Need You!

Scarlett returned home in a rush after dropping Zara off at the RAS office. She headed straight to her bedroom and attempted to call Xander, but until the last rang, Xander didn't answer her phone call.

"Is he still sleeping?" Scarlett mumbled, attempting the call once more. This time, it finally connected, bringing her some relief.

"Hey there, my beautiful wife," Xander's cheerful voice resonated through the phone. However, despite his upbeat tone, Scarlett's expression remained tense as she sat on the edge of the bed. "How's everything on your end, baby?"

"Xander, I..." Her voice faltered, trailing off uncertainty.

Xander's tone shifted to concern as he sensed the sadness in her voice. "What's wrong, baby?"

Scarlett struggled to convey the sad news to him, yet whenever she tried to speak, her words seemed to make a U-Turn down her throat, leaving her speechless.
