Minnie smiled upon my words, "You two should really start to learn how to take care of yourselves. With that being said, I won't be leaving you guys anytime soon. I'll stay here and take care of you since you're going to give birth soon."
As we chatted, Minnie's mood improved. She cooked some broth for me, but I didn't have much. After that, I felt a little sleepy, so I went straight to sleep.
I was woken up by the phone in the middle of the night, and I picked up the phone without checking the caller.
"Hello," I said to the phone.
"Is this Arianna Reid, wife of Mr. Hendrix Roberts?" The person on the other end of the phone sounded formal.
I looked at the time on my phone. It was already two in the morning. I wondered who would call at such a time.
"Who's this on the phone?" I asked.
"Hello, Miss Reid. I'm so sorry to inform you that the flight H898, which Mr. Roberts was on board from Ucrebury to Jarold City, yesterday was involved in a flight incident. He's currently in the government hospital for emergency treatment. We need his family members to sign some papers for us to proceed with his surgery," The person over the phone replied.
I sat up from bed, and my head was buzzing. "A flight incident? How...¹'
My mind went blank, and I couldn't pay attention to the phone call. I simply responded out of instinct and hung up the phone.
However, I didn't know what to do. I searched for Hendrix's contact number on my phone and called him with my trembling hands, but no one answered.
I tried calling Josiah and Austin, but none of them answered my call too. I started to wonder if it was because it was too late at night.
Then, I realized that I couldn't afford to be emotional under such circumstances.
Hence, I decided to call Andrea. Fortunately, I didn't have to wait long before she picked up. She was crying over the phone, "Arianna, where are you? Hendrix... Something happened to him. Come over now!"
