"Alright!"
After Sabrina hung up the phone, she pondered in silence. She wanted to be calm. The more she encountered such matters, the calmer she had to me. Every minute and every second passed so slowly as if a year had already gone by when, in fact, it had only been half an hour. Sabrina's phone rang again.
She picked her phone up to take a look and answered it. "Hello, Marcus?"
On the other end of the line, Marcus immediately said, "Sabrina, I was a little busy in the morning. You had called me to ask about Yvonne. Is there something I can help you with?"
Sabrina was speechless. Logically speaking, the first number that was saved on Yvonne's phone should be Marcus' number. After Yvonne had met with an accident, the first thing the local doctor would have done was to call Marcus.
However, from what Sabrina had heard over the phone, it seemed like Marcus still did not know that Yvonne had met with an accident.
What was going on? Sabrina took a pause and then said calmly, "It's fine, Marcus. I was looking for her, but it's not a very important matter.”
"Oh, alright then." Marcus let out a sigh of relief on the other end of the call and said," I've been too busy a while ago. From my grandpa's passing to my three brothers coming back to stir up trouble, even now, I still have not caught a break.
It so happened that Yvonne's birthday is in a few days. When the time comes, you, Sebastian, the children, Vireo and his wife, and Zayn and his wife, as well as Nigel and the rest, should come to my house together. Let's get together, alright?"
"Sure," Sabrina still answered calmly.
She took a breath calmly, and continued," Marcus, if there's nothing else, I'll hang up now."
"Alright. Bye, Sabrina." Marcus’ voice was very normal. It was so normal that Sabrina could not tell if there was anything unusual at all.
He made it so complicated that Sabrina was already a little impatient. With a bit of grumble in her tone, she said, "Can’t you just tell me directly which department it is?
On the other end of the call, the doctor had already hung up the phone. Sabrina was speechless. Fortunately, she had a good memory so she was able to remember the route after he told her once. She went along with the route, and five minutes later, Sabrina got into the elevator and got out of it again. As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, she could feel the quietness in the ward.
Immediately after, Sabrina also saw a few large words written on the ward across from her, which were ’Intensive Care Unit ( ICU)'.
Sabrina felt her heart in her mouth. After she met the doctor, the pitch of her voice changed. "Doctor...I am Yvonne's family. May I know if she..?"
She did not dare to ask and also did not dare to think.
"The patient is basically considered no longer in a critical condition," the doctor said calmly.
