“We have met before. I am Natalie,” Natalie replied while sitting by the bedside.

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.

I shouldn’t have picked up the call on Shane’s behalf had I known that this would happen!

Even if Jacqueline could not contact Shane, she might just be worried for a while, and there would not have been any misunderstanding. But now, her good intention had resulted in a disaster instead.

 

Natalie sighed with a slight headache. She then decided to look for Mrs. Wilson so that she could explain everything to Jacqueline. Jacqueline should believe Mrs. Wilson, right?
