Mr. Hayes stopped moving the hand that was applying medicine for Quinn.
"Something strange? What kind of strange thing?"
"Nothing! I am just spouting nonsense," Lauren quickly said.
Mr. Hayes mumbled to himself before continuing to treat Quinn's wound.
Suddenly, Lauren's phone watch rang. She recognized the number. It was the phone number of Ruby's guardian.
She pointed at the phone number and shouted excitedly, "Ruby is calling me!"
Everyone in the Torres family already knew that Lauren had a good friend who was coming to stay for the time being. They knew what Ruby had experienced in her own home, so they didn't have any objections.
Lauren picked up the call.
"Hello, Ruby?"
Everyone could hear the conversation since the phone watch was set to speaker mode.
"Lauren, it's me."
"Where are you now?"
"I'm still at the police station. The social worker is helping me with the paperwork. I'm waiting for her."
