They Were No Longer Strangers

"Did you see my cell phone?" Vega asked after they finished breakfast. She turned to Altaïr, who was sitting beside her.

Her brother shook his head. "I guess you better not worry about other things. You should focus on your recovery. Right, Grandpa Rory?"

He turned his gaze to Lauriel. The handsome man nodded. 

"Altair is right. You don't have to think about anything else," said Lauriel with a smile.

"Uhm .. but I want to know how my husband is doing," said Vega. She held out her hand to Altaïr. "Lend me your cell phone."

Altair shook his head again. "No. Ren told me to forbid you from using the internet and things like that. He wants you to focus on yourself and your recovery. That's why I keep your cell phone away."

Altair was not one that spent a lot of time on the internet, just like the rest of his family. They preferred to spend valuable time with people close to themselves, rather than caring about outside news.
