"Hey, Kristin!" Zachary spoke into the phone. "What's up?"
"Hey, Zachary!" Her voice sounded from the other end of the line. "I'm calling to inform you that I'm about to travel out of Turin. I'll be away for about a week, so don't be surprised when you try my phone and find it unavailable."
"Oh!" Zachary said while noting that her voice sounded a bit off. He asked, "Is anything the matter? Are you facing any challenges?"
A few more seconds passed, and she answered, "Honestly, this has to do with my grandpa. His health has gotten worse. He is undergoing treatment at the Haukeland University Hospital in Bergen. I'm heading there to see him."
"Your grandpa is not well!" Zachary's eyes narrowed.
