Requiem of a Broken Heart

Chapter 1078:

In the middle of her distress, Yvonne’s phone began to ring.

Frantic, Margie grabbed it and answered without thinking. “Hello?”

Norton had just stepped off the plane when he pulled out his phone and scanned his messages. Yvonne’s name still lingered on the screen from their last chat. He let out a quiet sigh—true to form, she hadn’t made any effort to reach out. With a brief pause, he navigated to his contacts and hit call without second-guessing.

The line connected almost immediately, but the voice that answered wasn’t hers.

His grip on the phone tightened, dread flickering in his chest. He steadied his voice and said, “I’m looking for Yvonne.”

“She’s sick. I’m her colleague, Margie,” the woman replied, her voice laced with worry. “I’ll tell her you called when she wakes up. May I ask who’s speaking?”
