However, Violet Don didn't notice Noah Bates' various thoughts about her. After taking the medicine given by Carlos White, she got up to retrieve her phone, which had been placed aside by Noah Bates earlier.
It was already late at night, and if she didn't return, Wayne Don was sure to be worried.
Sure enough, as soon as she grabbed the phone, it rang. Noah Bates thought the ringtone sounded strangely familiar, but he didn't have time to consider it much before Violet Don answered.
"Hello?" Her voice still held that chilly tone, but upon closer listening, one would find a soft hoarseness, like the satisfying lure after an ambiguous encounter.
"Mommy, where did you go?"
Wayne asked, "Why haven't you come home yet? I'm really worried about you!"
Violet Don could only reassure him, "I'll be back soon."
