The call for Alice Turner came from Isla Lane, with Thomas Fisher standing right beside her, and he noticed it as soon as she picked up the phone.
"I'll go over with Mom and Dad first, you take your time with the call." Thomas Fisher quietly squeezed Alice Turner's hand, then left the living room with the others.
Alice Turner's reaction just now wasn't very noticeable, and no one else detected anything unusual, assuming it was work-related without further thought.
Once everyone left the living room, Alice Turner answered the call, which was on the verge of hanging up automatically by then, and the person on the other end was getting a bit anxious.
"Alice! Why did you take so long to answer? What are you busy with?" Isla Lane was quite anxious while waiting, and her words carried a questioning tone right from the start.
Alice Turner didn't argue with the person on the phone, directly ignoring their questioning attitude, "Auntie! Is there a reason you called me?"
