Friday, continue …
"Let me see what I can do."
"Well I am going to call Susanne and ask."
"Hang on …"
"Come on Yi, pretty please" but now Anna was really pleading with Hou Yi. As soon as Hou Yi looked at his wife, he had no option but to relent. He could stay strong at least for some time, but as soon as he saw her face, he was gone.
In all the time since they had married the only times that he has seen her so happy and animated was when she was with her family, demonstrating in front of him her skills and the look she had on Wednesday morning before this nightmare started. All he wanted to do was to keep that look on her face.
"Well …"
"I am calling."
"Hang on Anna, what about James?"
"My baby brother can come any time. I need Susanne, Rosemary and Rebecca."
Anna grabbed Hou Yi's mobile, given hers was beside the bed, and started to dial Rosemary, as she knew she would know where Susanne was, and if she was at work, could get a message to her.
