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.
