My Four Miraculous Treasures

When Willow didn't answer Lara's call earlier, Lara didn't try calling again.

Willow wondered what Lara and the children were doing and where they were. Hence, she called Lara back.

The dial tone only rang once before the call went through. Unlike the usual where Lara would berate her the instant she picked up, she sounded oddly calm and solemn this time as if she had given up.

"Go on, tell me why you didn't pick up this time. What important business are you up to now that you've tricked me and the kids into going back to the village?"

Willow was forced to sleep with Jasper last night and was currently being imprisoned at his home.
