"I..." Heinz hesitated, opening his mouth to speak but no words came out.
"Just say it." Grace couldn't hold herself back anymore. The more hesitant he was, the more insecure she felt.
Heinz was deep in his thoughts. Just as he was about to speak, the phone rang, interrupting him.
Grace realized that it was her phone.
She paused, "Hold on."
She was taken aback when she looked at the caller ID. "Heinz, it's the Smith family. It's the previous landline of my home."
"Pick up the call!" Heinz said in a low voice.
Grace quickly accepted the call.
Marry's voice came as soon as the call connected. "Grace, save me! Simon wants to kill me."
"What?" Grace's first instinct was to doubt her words.
"Simon wants to kill me. Please help me, I'm really going to die," Marry pleaded. "I'll tell you now, your other son... He's not dead. If you save me, I'll tell you where he is."
"W-what? Are you serious?" Grace thought she had misheard something.
