    I sighed, "I deeply apologize for this. It''s unlike the Torres family. I''m sure something is holding them up. I''ll try t="


    "What about my pay? I''m afraid I might have to stop giving my services if I d-"


    "I wasing to that, Miss. Text your ount number and rate to this number. I will pay you immediately. So please, continue to take care of him."


    "Alright. Thank you."


    "I''ll also try to -"


    I blinked when I heard the click that signaled that the call had ended. I raised my brow and shrugged as I dropped my phone. I didn''t me her, I would have been madder if I were her. She was just so soft- spoken that I hadn''t expected that she would hang up on me


    I shook my head as I reclined in my seat. This was really unfortunate. Mark had been in aa since his operation was finalized. Yes, he had been unconscious since his surgery. I couldn''t keep staying so I had to leave but my case was understandable, right? I had work to deal with plus I wasn''t exactly rted to him


    Sandra had always been a selfish bitch so I wasn''t surprised that she was yet to go see her fiance who couldn''t show up to their engagement because he was involved in a fatal car ident but his mother?


    Rose was always all over Mark, she made it seem like she was the first woman to have a child, who knew she would find it hard to pay him a visit at the hospital?


    I thought of what to do, how to reach out to them. I could either go to them or ce a call through to them but that would be so much stress so I decided to go with thetter.


    I licked up my phone again. I was not sure if I had Rose''s phone number but I scrolled through my contact list in search of it anyway.


    I found it. My thumb hovered above it. I have always hated any form ofmunication between my former mother-inw and I; I used to do anything to avoid getting in situations that would require us to interact.


    I thought of calling Sandra instead but it was only natural and sensible that his mother would be the first person I will reach out to, not the woman that was indifferent about him.


    I sighed and dialed her number.


    "Grandma Doris, this is for you," I muttered to myself as the phone rang. "I''m doing these things that I don''t like or want to do because I want to keep my promise to you."Content ? N?velDrama.Org.


    If only Doris was here, I''m sure she would have rushed to the hospital that morning.


    The ringing ended and no one picked up. I frowned and cocked my head to the side as I dialed the


    number again. After a few seconds, the ringing stopped as there was no response.


    My frown deepened as I stubbornly redialed the number.


    "Why isn''t she picking up?"

    There was still no response after I redialed it the fourth time. If she was intentionally ignoring my call then she must be a fool and not care about her son at all. So far, she must know that I was the only one who would be with Mark in the hospital and since I never called her, she was supposed to know that I must be calling her regarding Mark.


    I decided to try to call her with someone else''s number, I rushed to Grace''s office. "Hey, can I have phone?"


    "Sure..." she trailed off as I had already snatched her phone from her desk.

    I felt her eyes on me as I punched Rose''s number into her phone and dialed it. No response. I tried again. and there was still no response.


    "Strange," I murmured under my breath as I handed Grace''s phone to her. Her curious gaze was on me as she absentmindedly took the phone from me.


    "What''s up?"


    I sighed and plopped in the cushioned chair in her office. "I''m trying to reach Rose. I tried to reach her with my line but she didn''t pick up so I thought maybe she was ignoring my calls. I tried to reach her with your line too but it''s still the same. At least, now I''m sure she isn''t deliberately ignoring my calls."
