“I’m fine. Where are you? Why can’t I get through to your phone?” Owen’s voice was hoarse, as if he hadn’t slept all night.

Hailey pressed her lips together and replied calmly, “I’m fine. You don’t have to worry.”

The conversation stalled for a moment.

Knowing she was safe, Owen didn’t press further. He simply said tiredly, “Give your parents a call. They’ve been worried all night.”

Hailey responded with a hum, then asked, “When are you leaving? I’ll buy your ticket.”

Silence fell on the other end.

After a while, Owen finally said, “It’s fine. I can buy it myself.”

Hailey said, “Then I’ll hang up.”

Owen didn’t respond.

Hailey waited for a moment. Just as she was about to end the call, Owen spoke again. “Hailey, we’re just taking a break, not breaking up, right?”

His tone was a little cautious as he sought confirmation.

Hailey pressed her lips together. After a few seconds, she gave a quiet hum in response.

Hearing that, Owen clearly let out a breath of relief. In a low voice, he said, “I’ll always wait for you.”

He had decided to wait for her until she had sorted everything out and uncovered the truth.

Hailey felt like she couldn’t breathe. She didn’t respond and simply ended the call.

She turned to Raphael with a small smile and said, “Sorry to keep you waiting.”

Raphael shook his head. “It’s fine.”

After exchanging contacts, Raphael picked up his keys and offered, “I’ll take you home. Where do you live?”

“No need. I live nearby,” Hailey replied.

Raphael knew how to keep the right distance and said, “Alright. I need to stop by the supermarket anyway. I’ll walk you to the entrance.”

Hailey nodded.
