Irene was actually surprised that Isaac would call her first–he never did that after he went abroad twice.

Naturally, it surprised her that he would call her.

Irene’s fingers clenched on her phone–he only called because Mrs. Watson told him that she was ill, not because he missed her?

“Are you feeling better now?”

“Yeah, much better. You don’t have to worry.”
