Despite Malvina’s cries echoing behind them, Hannah acted as if she didn’t hear a thing.

Soon, Bryson picked up the phone.

“What happened?” he inquired immediately.

Surprised by his direct approach, Hannah hesitated before responding, “Can’t I just call you without a reason?”

“You’re right.

She briefly explained the recent events to Bryson, then added, “You know Officer Stevenson, could you get in touch with him for me? I need his assistance with what just occurred.
