Henry Doyle's voice had just fallen when he was about to answer the phone.
The call from Ellie Doyle suddenly disconnected.
He wasn't even given a chance to answer.
Henry was frantic, having waited a whole month for Ellie's call, he couldn't just let it go!
Immediately,
Henry redialed the number.
The mechanical female voice came through on the other end, "Hello, the user you are calling is currently on another call, please try again later…"
"Ellie must be busy, no rush, no rush," Henry muttered to himself in reassurance, then he looked up and glanced at Evelyn Woods, "Why are you still standing here? Hurry and go find Mrs. Doyle!"
Evelyn came to her senses, nodding vigorously and with a hint of excitement, "Right, right, I'm on it!"
As her words fell,
Evelyn didn't bother changing out of her pajamas and quickly went out the door.
Henry stood in place, anxiously staring at the phone in the palm of his hand, and dialed the number again.
This time, the call connected.
