Jacqueline’s hand gripped the phone a little tighter. Her expressionless face twisted into a grimace. “Ah, it’s you, Ms. Smith. Why are you with Shane and picking up his calls?”

Natalie smiled at her somewhat interrogative tone and explained, “You see, Ms. Graham, Mr. Shane is having a fever because of me, so—”

“So you went to take care of him?” Narrowing her eyes, Jacqueline interrupted Natalie.

“Not exactly, but—”

“It’s alright. You don’t have to explain anymore!” Jacqueline interrupted Natalie once again and clutched her covers tightly.

Natalie guessed that she must have misunderstood something, but when she was about to clarify things, she realized that Jacqueline had already hung up.

“Oh no!” Natalie smacked her forehead with guilt.
