The call went through, but no one picked up.

Jasmine didn’t hang up immediately. She waited until the answering machine said, “The number you’ve dialled is unavailable. Please try again later.”

Jasmine kept her phone away and gazed into space at the staircase. She blamed herself for it. It was her ignorant that caused what happened today.

Sadness filled Jasmine’s heart, and her eyes went red.

Jasmine didn’t notice how long she had been sitting on the stairs. Her phone buzzed in her hand. Jasmine looked down and saw that it was Boyce. She had so many things to tell him at first, but now, she didn’t know how to tell him what happened.

Jasmine sniffled and tried to adjust her emotions. Then, she took the call. Boyce asked, “What’s taking so long?”

Jasmine remained silent.

Boyce reacted quickly. He asked, “Are you mad because I didn’t pick up your call? My phone was in the office, and I went out for a meeting. I immediately call you back when I saw your missed call.”

“I wasn’t mad at you. I’m mad at myself,” Jasmine looked down, “What time are you coming home today?”

“I might come home late tonight. I won’t be back for dinner. I’m having a gathering with my colleagues tonight,” Boyce got promoted. So, his colleagues wanted to treat him to a meal.

Boyce can’t refuse their offer.

“I’ll wait for you,” Jasmine pouted, “I’ve something to tell you tonight.”

Boyce said, “Alright.”

“Go back to work. I’m hanging up,” Jasmine hung up the phone after that.

Jasmine got herself together and left the hospital.
