Seeing my troubled expression, Christine asked, “What happened on his end?* I was hastily packing my things as I replied, “My aunt’s critically ill. I need to rush back to RiverCity.”

Thinking about Dorothy’s tactics, I even started to doubt whether it was the illness that worsened or it was because of my getting involved.

“Critically ill?” Christine decided on the spot. “Bryant’s coming to pick you up, right? Stop packing. Just leave it to me. I’ll wrap things up here this afternoon. You go back first, and when I return, I’ll bring your stuff with me.”
