As the old lady spoke, it was as if a thunderbolt had struck, leaving the entire room silent for a moment.
It took more than a dozen seconds for Anthony Charlie to react. He looked incredulously in Grandma Charlie's direction and stepped forward excitedly.
With that step, his foot was tripped, and he staggered a bit before regaining his balance.
"Daddy, be careful! You're stepping on the table. Take two steps to the left and then turn right to come to the old lady's side."
Carlos Charlie's voice came through the earpiece.
Anthony Charlie maintained his composure and restrained his excitement as he quickly took a few steps to stand before the old lady. He asked, "Grandma, what did you just say?!"
He didn't notice that Amelia Charlie's eyes were full of suspicion after he had just stumbled.
Grandma Charlie raised her eyebrows when she saw how agitated Anthony appeared. "I said, I talked on the phone with Eve last night for a long time. How could she possibly be dead?"
