Chapter 178

"Indeed. You've got a wonderful friend!" Charles said as he nodded. "Alright, since you're awake, why don't you go wash up and give your friend a call? She was extremely worried about you last night!"

“Oh, right, I nearly forgot. Rowena must be worried sick!" Noelle said as she hurriedly tried to locate her phone. "Charles, have you seen my phone?" "It's on the bedside cab!"
