บท 88: Eightieth-Eight

Cell phone rings. Without looking closely at the name of the caller, Aura accepted it.

"Hendry, I don't think I can ..." Aura said with a heavy heart.

It's quiet. There was no more sound.

"What's wrong with you and Hendry?" Said someone there.

The voice boomed, making the cellphone in Aura's hand almost fall. Her heart suddenly skipped a beat. It wasn't Hendry who called, but Dennis. Aura stared at her cellphone for a moment. Dennis's name was displayed on her cellphone screen.

Aura grumbled in her heart, scolding herself for being careless. She thought Hendry had called to confirm the invitation to lunch. Why doesn't she look at the phone screen first? Careless! Aura didn't stop scolding herself.

"Den ..., I ..." Said Aura.

It's quiet. The call has been disconnected.

Aura felt her face hot, then turned cold, as if the blood had now stopped flowing to her face. She knew the storm was coming soon.

"Mommy." Said Gianna.
