Christopher had been sound asleep, but the sound of the phone ringing brought him back to consciousness.
He heard the caretaker call out "Miss Garcia" and his mind instantly cleared.
"Pass me the phone," he announced. Naturally, the caretaker obliged and quickly informed the other side before switching the call to speakerphone.
Amelia softly asked, "Did I wake you?"
"No... I've been asleep for a while, was about to wake up anyway."
The caretaker glanced at him—jeez, what a liar.
He had just fallen asleep after the doctor had come to change his dressing and check his wounds, which had been painful enough to cause him to sweat profusely and turn pale.
But how he chose to act was his business, and thankfully, he didn't fly into a rage about it.
Amelia didn't know if he was lying or not. After a pause, she returned to the matter, "Well... Lucas told me that your father knows the businessman who sponsors Olivia Williams?"
"Uh-huh."
"You're going to ask your father for help?"
