Arabella stopped and turned to look at him.
"There's one more thing | forgot to tell you." Martin looked into her eyes, earnestly saying, "You need to be careful these days.

Arabella nodded. "Thanks for the heads up."
Jack, waiting outside the hospital, saw Arabella stride out with a commanding presence and hurriedly opened the car door for her.
"Did you get the phone?"
"No." Arabella's voice was calm as she got into the car.
Jack didn't close the door but asked in confusion, "Why not? Wouldn't Martin hand it over?"
"With the way Martin is, he'll deliver it sooner or later withoutasking. There's no rush."
Earlier, Arabella had deliberately told him that he was no longer on the blacklist, hinting that he could contact her anytonce he
got hold of that phone.

[It's horrifying. This person is a monster!]
When Arabella saw this trending news, it was already after dinner.
Memories of the past flooded her mind until a servant knocked on her door, snapping her out of her reverie.
"Ms. Bella, there's a call from Mrs. Amelia. Would you like to take it? It's Amelia's birthday today, and your parents went to her
house at half-past one this afternoon. But it's eight now, and Amelia said she hasn't seen them, she called to check on them."
They hadn't arrived?
Arabella opened the door, and the servant guided her to the phone extension on that floor.
Another servant handed the phone to Arabella, who spoke in a calm voice, "Amelia, happy birthday."
"Hey, is that Bella? Thanks for the wishes. I'm just wondering if your parents got held up and couldn't make it to my birthday party?
| tried calling their cell, no answer, and no replies to my messages either. I'm getting a bit anxious."
Amelia explained, "They've always been punctual for my birthday in the past. Even if they couldn't make it, they would let me
know in advance. It's not like them to be unreachable like this."
