How could there be such a coincidence? Sabrina was frantically looking for Yvonne, but Yvonne's phone happened to be switched off? The worry and anxiety in Sabrina's heart got even stronger.
However, as she could not say anything at that moment, all she could do was look at Ruth calmly. "Ruth, my stomach is a little upset, so I'll be heading to the restroom. I may take a little longer, so keep an eye out for me, and if a call comes in, answer it."

Aino sighed. "I really do have something urgent, and it's quite urgent. However, when I am in such a state of anxiety, Sebastian's line is busy when I called him, and Sabrina's line is also busy when I called her.
"Aunt Ruth, do you know? I strongly suspect that both Sebastian and Sabrina are dating each other through their phones during working hours! They are so into their date that they don’t even have the time to pick up their daughter's call! I really wonder if I am adopted!"
"Haha!" Ruth was amused by what Aino had said. She laughed before saying, "Aino, sweet child...”
