Elaine stood at the roadside of the airport exit, repeatedly calling Jacob but was unable to get through.

“This damn Jacob, I don’t know where he’s gone.

Not answering my calls,” she cursed.

Claire asked her, “Mom, are you sure you talked to him about the time?”

“Of course, I told him clearly.

She looked worried and said, “Dad, he can’t be in some kind of accident, right… It’s not bedtime now, how come the phone can’t even be answered?”

Charlie quickly reassured her, “Wife, don’t think blindly.

“Yes,” Claire agreed.
