A Ring In The Grass (2)

Qin Zhi'ai made a call to the housekeeper, but the phone rang several times, and no one answered.

Probably because it's so late, and the housekeeper's cell phone is muted. Maybe she's already asleep… Thinking of this, Qin Zhi'ai was about to hang up the phone, get out of bed, and find Dr. Xia's number in the phone book downstairs. However, the call was picked up before her fingertips could touch the end call button on the screen.

Qin Zhi'ai said hello, but no one responded.

Being in so much discomfort, Qin Zhi'ai even seemed to have some difficulty speaking. She didn't open her eyes and could only ask in a weak tone, "Are you the housekeeper?"

Still, there was no response. She frowned, forcing herself to stand up with the pain, and asked with all her strength, "Are you listening? Do you hear me? Housekeeper, I... "

The phone was hung up before Qin Zhi'ai had finished her words, with only a series of busy tones playing over the phone.
