"Oh, thank god, you finally answered my call!"
Chloe heard Dorothea's voice on the phone, and her body tensed immediately. She knew she had no entanglement nor sin against Dorothea, but whenever she remembered that menacing old woman, she couldn't help but get nervous.
"Chloe? Are you there?" Dorothea asked.
Chloe gulped as she tried to swallow her nervousness. She sat at the corner of the bed, putting the phone near her ear, and answered, "H—Hello."
Dorothea had a huge sense of relief after the burden in her heart had been lifted a bit. She really thought that Chloe blocked her, just like how she blocked her family and husband.
'Could it be that she still sees me as a redeemable mother-in-law, or does she just forget about me completely?' Dorothea wondered in her mind. Though, the answer was actually quite obvious.
