Chapter 735

Nina hung up without a second thought. Greta stared at her phone, now echoing the busy tone, her face drained of color. Refusing to give up, she dialed again. This time, Nina picked up once more. "Aunt, didn't I say? Dad's swamped and can't get to you right now. I'm busy too, can't pass your messages."

Trying to soften her tone, Greta pleaded, "Nina, Auntie's not feeling well and really needs your dad to come to the hospital..."

"Why should I care if you're not well? Stop bugging me while I'm gaming."
