Chapter 51: Give Him A Break

“For now, let’s stay focused on our trip next week. And we better keep an eye on Daphne. I need her a hundred percent when we fly into Vietnam,” Jackie said.

“Yeah, sure,” Henry replied.

“I’m gonna go get some things from the pharmacy for her…”

“Nah, just give me the list. It’s just down the road. I need to go out for some fresh air anyway,” he said.

“Sure? Okay, I best go see how she doing before I leave,” she said.

She was about to head to Daphne’s room when a call came in. She looked at her phone screen and her brows came together menacingly -- she had an uncharacteristically nasty scowl on her face.

When Henry saw her reaction, he immediately knew who it was.

She took a deep breath, then touched the answer button on her phone screen.

“I don’t want you to call my number again, Arno. Never again… Ever!” she yelled at the top of her voice, then immediately ended the call.
