After leaving the hospital, Grace was already drenched in cold sweat, and her face was pale.
Grace found a place to hide and only came out at night to call Jeanette using the phone Madeline had prepared.
The call was only answered after she dialed the number more than ten times.
Jeanette was heard saying in an impatient voice, "Hello, who's this? You'd better have something important to say, or I won't let you off."
At that, Grace's hands trembled with fright.
Taking a deep breath to compose herself, she replied in a calm tone, "Is this Ms. Miller?"
"How can you not know who I am when you're the one calling me? Hurry up and spit it out! I don't have time to waste."
Jeanette got even more impatient.
She had always had such an attitude toward unknown callers.
