[Ellie's P.O.V.]
Things didn't go as smoothly as I had expected. I called her again and again, but she never picked up. I called my mother as well, but it was no longer in service.
My eyes widened in disbelief. I couldn't believe that I had already been eliminated from their world. Even though my father didn't want me anymore, I didn't believe that they would abandon me too.
Unwilling to give up, I called them again and again, as if they would pick up as long as I called them enough times. I just wanted to hear their voices. I just needed to know that I hadn't been forgotten and that I was still the most important person to them.
I didn't know how many calls I made, but in the end, I still heard the same boring and cold dialing tone. Still, I didn't want to give up, so I suddenly thought of Kans. Maybe he knew how my mother and sister were doing. I could get some clues from him.
