After some thought, Aubree pulled out her phone and called Sonya.
It did not take long before Sonya answered the call. “Is something wrong, Aubree?”
“Mrs. Farwell, can you please come over? My arm hurts so bad, and I'm scared...” Aubree's voice was full of unease.
“Just give me a moment. I'll be right over,” promised Sonya immediately.
With that, the woman hurriedly got changed before striding out the door.
Only after getting into her car did Sonya begin to wonder why Aubree called her if Lucian was with the young woman.
“What about Lucian? Isn't he with you?” inquired Sonya curiously.
“I'm not sure where he is either. Maybe he's working overtime. I didn't call him because I didn't want to disturb him. My parents weren't answering my calls, so I had no choice but to trouble you.” There was a hint of sadness in Aubree's voice.
Hence, Sonya quickly comforted the young woman. “It's okay. You only got hurt because of me, so taking care of you is the least I can do. Just wait for me at the hospital. I'll be right over.”
After Aubree agreed to her request, Sonya hung up and dialed Lucian's phone number with a hardened face.
She found it hard to believe that her son would still be working at such a late hour.
Lucian tucked Estella in after chatting with her, and as soon as he left his daughter's room, he got a call from Sonya.
