Chapter 27 Betrayal And Regrets

• The sound of Ann’s ringing phone pierced the quiet morning, I gently reached for the phone beside the bed. The caller ID displayed “Emily.” I gently nudged Ann, trying not to startle her.
• “Ann, it's Emily,” I said softly, holding the phone out to her.
• Ann blinked her eyes open, her face was still looking pale but her fever seemed to have lessened. She gave me a faint, grateful smile and took the phone.” Hello.” she said, her voice weak.
