Abigail got in the car and dialed Aunt Claudia.
"Abigail, where are you?" Aunt Claudia, holding her old phone, glanced nervously toward the villa. Abigail left at 8 a.m., and it was already 4 p.m. Aunt Claudia was very worried about Abigail.
"Aunt Claudia, I can't come back tonight because I have something to do. I booked a hotel for you online. You can go there now, and I will come to find you tomorrow." She wasn't there today. The Taylor mother and daughter were at the hospital, but Jackson Taylor was there and might take his anger out on Aunt Claudia.
Aunt Claudia said, "No need, Abigail. Don't waste money. The allowance from the lady boss is enough. I'm fine; come back early."
After saying this, Aunt Claudia hung up the phone. Holding the daily necessities she had bought for Abigail, she was about to go inside when she faced Jackson Taylor, who had a bandaged hand. Startled, she shrank back. "Mr... Mr. Jackson."
