Wendy was a little dazed by the sudden disconnected tone on the other side of the phone. She had just woken up and was not totally conscious yet.
Once Wendy was fully awake, she remembered the words Grandmother had said on the phone and the tone she had used. Wendy swallowed.
What had happened? Hadn't Grandmother been so kind and caring about her yesterday? Why had it changed overnight?
Wendy reached out and touched her belly. Didn't Grandmother know that she was pregnant? Could it be that she had heard it all wrong just now, not being fully awake?
Head full of doubts, Wendy got out of bed. She saw Michael sitting at the dining table, his face lowered with a heavy expression on his face.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Michael raised his head, looked at Wendy, and smiled gently as he got up. "Wendy, let's have breakfast after you wash up. I'll call Jake and Leah."
