I accepted their thanks and went to the first floor.
When I came back, Amelia's parents thanked me again.
I did not say a word from start to finish. Sensing my phone vibrating in my pocket, I fished out my phone.
I was busy earlier and did not sense the vibration. After taking it out to look now, I saw dozens of missed calls, all of which were from Theo.
I was just about to call Theo back when he called me again.
As soon as I answered it, he asked in a grumpy tone, "Where are you? Why didn't you answer any of my calls?"
I sighed. "Why didn’t you sleep longer? I came to the hospital. Amelia’s child suddenly fainted. I took them to the hospital.
"Don’t worry about me. I’ll handle the affairs here. If you're still sleepy, then get more sleep. I can't really talk right now. Talk soon."
Afraid that he would nag at me, I quickly hung up the call.
Seeing that I had gotten off the phone, Amelia's mother walked over. "Mrs. Grant, do you think we've crossed the line?"
I pursed my lips and made no reply.
Amelia's mother let out a bitter smile. "We were decent people who would never do such undignified things, but we can't help it when we have a son who takes money from us. If it weren’t for him, we wouldn’t have been put in such a tough situation and Amelia wouldn't have died.
