Requiem of a Broken Heart

Chapter 1078:

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.

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?”

Margie’s shaky tone, on the verge of tears, made Norton’s brow knit tightly.
