Amadeus Yancey could tell she hadn't fully woken up, so he asked the people around him to be quiet for a moment and spoke in a softer voice, "Once you're there, take care of yourself. If anything comes up, call my Aunt Candice. She's in Beijing, and I've told her about you coming over today. Her phone is on 24 hours a day, waiting for your call."
Nathalie Quinlan hadn't expected him to discuss her visit with Candice Yancey, and for a moment, she fell silent, not quite sure how to respond, before quietly saying, "I might not have time to dine with Mrs. Yancey."
