Yvonne was finally relieved after receiving Maria's call in the middle of the night.
She asked anxiously on the phone, "Maria, where the hell have you been? Not only did you not pick up, but you even switched your phone off. Do you know how worried your dad and I are? Your grandma was so worried that her blood pressure shot up."
"Mommy, I'm all good. I'm with a friend. You don't have to worry about me," Maria quickly explained. "I'm safe. I'll be back soon."
"I'll go pick you up," Yvonne told her.
"No, it's fine, Mommy. He will be sending me back," Maria explained. "Don't worry about me."
"I can finally relax now that I've heard your voice," Yvonne said. "Hurry up and come back. Your dad nearly called the police and sent a few people to look for you."
"Ah, then quickly tell Dad." Maria was shocked by her mother's words. "I'll be home right away. I'll hang up now."
She made the call beside Liam.
He was driving.
