Right after Alexander hung up the phone, it rang again. This time, it was an unknown number. He usually would not answer unknown numbers, but this was his private phone. After hesitating for a second, he slowly pressed the answer button.
"Hello?"
"Daddy…" A childish voice came from the other end, clear and sweet.
Alexander's heart instantly softened, and the frown on his face immediately loosened. "Galen?"
"Daddy, Grandpa is sick."
"Huh? Where are you? Whose phone are you using to call? Where's Grandpa now?" Alexander became aware that something must be wrong and quickly walked to the corner of the room to ask in a deep voice.
"Mr. Russell…" A familiar voice of a man sounded. Alexander could not think of who it might be on the spot.
"It's Austin," the other party spoke before he could figure it out. "There's something I want to tell you."
After knowing who it was, Alexander relaxed a little. He tugged on his tie and urged, "What is it?"
"About that… I don't think it's suitable for your son to continue staying here. Can you bring him home?" The other party seemed a little hesitant as he finished his sentence.
