Chapter 205

  Early in the morning, a phone call woke both Annette and Roxanne.

  Roxanne sat up and rubbed her hair. "Who would call this early?"

  Annette said, "It's my phone. I'll go check it."

  She went to the living room and took a look at her phone. It was still Lance.

  Roxanne followed her out.

  "Who is it? Is it Connor?"

  "No, it's Lance."

  Roxanne rushed forward and asked, "Why did he call you?"

  Annette said, "I don't think it's a good thing."

  "Don't answer it."

  Roxanne took Annette's phone and threw it aside.

  "What do we have for breakfast?"

  "There's nothing at home. Let's go buy some food." Annette thought for a while and said, "But I don't want to go out. I'm scared."

  Roxanne knew that Annette was scared of people's gazes, so she said, "I'll go. Wait at home. I'll be back soon."

  Annette said gratefully, "Thank you, Roxanne."

  "Come on, it's nothing."

  Roxanne went to the bathroom, and Annette's phone rang again.
