Thomas Fisher was resolute, so Christopher Turner and Sophia Wood didn’t persist any longer. They got in the car and left first.
After the four elders left, Thomas Fisher also got into his car. However, he didn’t drive away imdiately. He picked up his phone, found Alice Turner’s number, and dialed it at once.
"Sorry! The number you are calling is temporarily unavailable. Sorry..."
After dialing for a long ti, he heard the ssage that the call couldn’t be connected.
Knowing Alice Turner didn’t want to pick up his call, Thomas Fisher didn’t give up and dialed her number once more. But after waiting for a long ti, he heard the sa response as the first ti.
He called several more tis in a row, and the result was always the sa.
Worried that sothing might have happened to Alice Turner, Thomas Fisher couldn’t care less and directly called Easton Hols, wanting Lily Turner to help him contact Alice Turner.
Only after knowing she was okay could he be at ease to go ho.
"Kid! Why are you butting in now?"
When Thomas Fisher called, Easton Hols had just brought Lily Turner to the proposal site and was about to prepare his mood for proposing when the call ca in.
Hearing this, Thomas Fisher knew he had interrupted his buddy’s important mont, but he was very anxious now. Willing to risk getting scolded, he said, "Where’s my sister-in-law? I need to talk to her about sothing, can you pass her the phone?"
His tone was hard to suppress due to his urgency.
"What happened again? Tell ."
Easton Hols deliberately avoided Lily Turner when answering the call. Now he was a few steps away from her, feeling lucky that he had taken the call privately.
Even across the phone, he could sense his good buddy’s anxiety and worry.
The situation instantly reminded him of the ti two months ago when his good buddy was also so anxious and worried, calling directly to find his wife.
Last ti it was because of Alice Turner, and this ti it surely couldn’t be unrelated to Alice Turner either.
"I... I’d better talk to my sister-in-law."
Thomas Fisher hesitated for a mont, then decided to find Lily Turner. He wanted to speak directly to her, not knowing how to start with his buddy. His brother was so shrewd that he would surely notice sothing was amiss.
Hearing this, Easton Hols was even more convinced that Thomas Fisher was calling Lily Turner because of Alice Turner. He just didn’t know what the situation was this ti.
Last ti was a false alarm, but this ti?
"Tell what’s going on, or I won’t call my sister-in-law. This kid always makes a fuss, turning a small matter into sothing serious."
"It’s nothing serious; I just want my sister-in-law to give my other sister-in-law a call, that’s all." Thomas Fisher tried to sound relaxed and composed, not letting his brother catch on to his discomfort. But what he didn’t realize was that his brother had already sensed sothing off about him earlier.
"Your sister-in-law is pregnant now, so you better not scare her. If you do and sothing happens to her because of your scare, you’d better wait and see." Easton Hols did not refuse Thomas Fisher this ti; he sternly warned him and then walked toward Lily Turner, who was standing not far away, with the phone in hand.
Seeing Easton Hols approaching, Lily Turner assud he had finished the call and asked, "Done with the call?"
As she asked, she naturally reached out to hold him as he walked over.
"No, the person he wants to talk to is you."
Easton Hols said this and placed the phone in Lily Turner’s ear.
