He repeatedly contacted Ms. Armstrong at the orphanage, but could not get in touch.
He decided to make a trip back to the orphanage himself.
Meanwhile, after Joyce hung up the video chat, she got up and washed up.
Then she sat at the table, eating her breakfast while getting ready to turn on the TV for the news.
Just then, her cell phone suddenly rang.
Thinking it was Luther again, she frowned deeply and glanced at the phone, but it was Karl calling.
She looked aghast and hurriedly picked up the phone.
"Joyce, I have not been able to call you. It was always busy." Karl said.
"Oh, I was just having a video chat with an employee." Joyce made up an excuse. Naturally she couldn't tell Karl that she was just having a video chat with Luther.
"Mr. Clark is dead." Karl said directly.
"Ah." Joyce was startled, "Dead?"
She hurriedly pressed the TV remote control in her hand and switched to the news channel.
Sure enough, the news was making a big deal of it.
"This morning, the president of the Capital charity commission Mr. Clark, was found dead in his office, and it was probably a myocardial infarction."
"The police are looking for more details."
