Since Hannah had hung up the call, there wasn't anything Helen could do to change the outcome. Thus, she played along and stated, "Alright, Hannah. I'll keep that in mind."
The moment she picked up her phone and took a peek at the screen, she was dumbfounded because the call was from an anonymous instead of the jerk.
As Hannah noticed the odd expression on Helen's face, she wondered if something was wrong. What is it? Hadn't she just said she would keep my words in mind? Why's she gaping at her phone again?
Helen said in a hushed voice, "Hannah, I have something to tell you."
"What is it?"
"1-1 think we have taken things out on the wrong person-that wasn't a call from that jerk."
"H-Huh? Whose call could it be if it wasn't a call from him Why hasn't he stopped me from yelling at him?"
"I have no idea! It's from a number I have never seen before!" Helen replied with a sheepish grin because she found it hilarious.
She had no intention to blame her sister and found their goofy response adorable.
The heartless Helen stated, "I think the person on the other end is equally confused because he was scolded the moment you answered the phone. Do you think he's wondering if he has done anything wrong as of now?"
Chuckling, Hannah said, "I think he's thinking if he has accidentally called some lunatic because I hung up the call as soon as I finished taking things out on him! I think you should call him back just in case he's trying to reach you for something urgent."
Her sister nodded and reverted back to the anonymous figure immediately.
"Hello?" A man's hoarse voice could be heard once the call was picked up.
