I scoffed lightly at his question, knowing all too well that he would already be aware of any developments, even without my telling him.
But before I could inquire further, he abruptly ended the call, leaving me puzzled by his cryptic behavior.
As I pondered his actions, another call came in, this time from Ackee. "Hello, Erica, Are you already at the hospital? Tell me, what should I bring? Do you need anything?" His genuine concern touched my heart, despite my insistence that I was fine.
"No, Ackee, I've just reached. I'll let you know if anything comes up. Don't come yet," I replied, grateful for his unwavering support.
"Okay," he replied before ending the call, leaving me to wrestle with my conflicting emotions and the uncertainty of the future.
