"Jeffrey," she said, "I don't know how long I'll be in the hospital. Call him and tell him not to wait for me to eat."
Rachel said this as she found the name
"Jeffrey" in her contacts and made the call.
The phone connected quickly, and Jeffrey's slightly cold voice came through, "Sister."
"I have something to do. I'm afraid I'll be back late today. You… prepare dinner yourself," Rachel said.
"What do you mean by something to do? Just tell him you're in the hospital right now," Josephine interrupted.
"Sister, are you in the hospital right now?" Jeffrey's tone seemed to shift a little.
"Yeah, I fell and I'm waiting for an X-ray at the hospital," Rachel replied.
"Which hospital? I'll come over now," Jeffrey said immediately.
"You don't have to come. I've got Josephine with me. You can just wait for me at home," she said quickly.
There was silence on the other end of the phone. After a few seconds, that cold voice came again.
