"Is this Ms. Finnegan?" A familiar voice came from the other end.
Elena Finnegan had already recognized it was Marcus Moore, whom she had met yesterday.
But, he didn't use this number when they exchanged contacts.
Was he worried she wouldn't answer his call?
"It's me," she replied coolly, without asking anything.
"Ms. Finnegan, this is Marcus. I went to the hospital today, and the doctor said you were discharged and that you're in good health without any issues. He's completely baffled. What exactly happened?" The voice on the other end sounded worried and confused.
"I'm all better now, and I had to work today. That's it," Elena Finnegan said without elaborating.
Marcus, still concerned, asked another question, "Are you sure you're really okay?"
"The doctors have checked; you wouldn't be unaware, right?" Elena maintained her nonchalant tone.
"I know…" There was a pause on the other end before he continued, "Are you off work now? Want to grab dinner together?"
