As soon as the call connected, Harriette started crying uncontrollably.

On the other end of the line, the man remained silent. The expected concern didn't come immediately, causing Harriette to pause. Fortunately, Miles' voice soon came through. "Harriette, please don't cry. Did something happen? Are you hurt? Please don't cry..."

Every word she said carried an intense sense of care, reflecting on Miles's concern that she was familiar with.

Harriette finally felt relieved, though she was still crying. Hearing Miles on the other end of the phone sounding even more anxious helped calm her down a little.

Between her sobs, she started blaming herself, saying, "Miles, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have gone to meet that person, and I shouldn't have made Rose come with me. I, I..."

It was followed by another bout of sobbing from Harriette.

"What's happened to Rose?" Miles asked.

Harriette heard the person on the other end of the phone suddenly stop breathing for a moment.

Even though Rose died in the warehouse explosion, she still cried deliberately out of jealousy and didn't immediately respond to Miles' question.

Miles was clearly more anxious and asked urgently, "What's going on with Rose?" She could almost picture Mile's expression at that moment.

"Boohoo, Miles, Rose is dead! She's dead, Miles. It's all my fault. Blame me. I caused this harm to her."

The more anxious Miles became, the more guilty Harriette felt.

She was blaming herself, which only made sure Miles was unable to bring himself to criticize her.

After learning about Rose's death, Miles would probably rush back immediately. He was bound to investigate the circumstances of what happened himself.

Anyway, she felt innocent about her actions today too!

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone. It remained silent for so long that Harriette almost thought Miles had hung up the call.

"Miles?" Harriette called out with a flicker of curiosity in her gaze.

"Mhmm." Finally, there was a response.

For a moment, Harriette didn't know how to react. Fortunately, right after, she heard the familiar concern in Miles's voice. "Don't be scared. It's not your fault. You didn't harm Rose."

The voice on the other end of the phone sounded calm, and before hanging up,
