In Gustave's ward, Darlene was holding a vase filled with water and inserting a bouquet of gladiola into it.
When Cyrus called, she wanted to answer it herself.
However, Gustave saw that she had no free hand, so he helped answer it and hold her phone by her ear so that she could speak without putting down the flowers in her hands.
For some unknown reason, Darlene did not refuse it and allowed Gustave to hold her phone for her.
She probably wanted to prove that Avery was no longer important to her no matter what he did.
So insignificant that he couldn't even interrupt her arranging flowers.
Cyrus made an appointment with Darlene for Avery. After hearing her consent, he quickly hung up the phone.
As they were close, Gustave could vaguely hear the voice from the phone and Darlene's reply. It was not difficult to guess who the person was and what he said.
The call ended and the flowers were all arranged.
