Chapter 490: You Promised I Still Have You (32)

Yi did not notice the strange atmosphere at the moment, and just when the mobile phone was answered, he quickly stuffed it into Percy Stanton's hand, urging him with his mouth to say, "Hurry up!"

Percy swallowed, his fingers stiff, as he raised the phone to his ear. Then Isabel Smith's voice rang out again: "Hello?"

After a pause, Percy finally spoke, uttering a single "Yeah" into the phone.

Though it was just one word, it instantly brought the slightly unwell and early-to-bed Isabel back to full wakefulness. She glanced at the caller ID on her phone and realized she hadn't misheard the voice. Stunned for a moment, she finally asked the silent Percy on the other end, "Is there… something you need?"

"Nothing." Percy wanted to add that he was playing a game with a friend, and accidentally called her, but thinking better of it, he remained silent.

After a while, Isabel responded with an "Oh," and then raised her hand to cover her mouth, letting out a soft cough.
