    "The nurse said my mother won''tst two hours. Can you make it here in two hours?" Martin pleaded


    earnestly.

    "Serena''s phone, for two lives. Think it over and let me know," Arabe said,ying down her terms


    before abruptly ending the call.


    Martin was stunned, never expecting the phone to be what Arabe wanted.


    But then again, why should she help him for nothing.


    Aside from the phone, he had nothing else to offer that could possibly tempt her.


    After much contemtion, Martin was about to approach Serena when his phone rang with a call from


    the enigmatic figure.


    "Why haven''t you dealt with the girl yet? You promised me action," the voice on the other end


    demanded angrily.


    "I need more time. My mother and sister’s lives are at stake. They depend on her," Martin tried to pacify


    the caller.


    "There''s no more time! I want to hear she''s been taken care of by midnight tomorrow, or I''lle for


    your family myself!"


    "Hello? Hello?" Martin was fuming but couldn''t afford to burn bridges just yet, especially since he had


    no intention of harming Arabe, hoping to stall for even a split second longer.


    Just then, Serena rolled out in her wheelchair to find him. Martin quickly crouched before her, speaking


    in a tone of negotiation, "Serena, there''s a way we can save mom and sis. Would you be willing to


    help?"


    Serena, sensing the desperate tone in his voice and his expression, had an ominous feeling but still


    asked with feigned sincerity and asked, "What’s the n?"


    "Arabe wants your phone, in exchange for their lives."


    His words made Serena’s smile freeze. Holding back her anger, she managed a smile and asked,


    "How does she know about the phone? Did you tell her?"


    Seeing Martin stay silent, Serena grew anxious. "Martin, that was our secret. How could you share it


    with an outsider?"


    "With the situation so dire, if we give her the phone, we could save mom and sis. Please?" Martin


    implored.


    Serena''s demeanor shifted, "That was thest thing my dad left me. Why should I hand it over?"


    "The guilty have their debts; she''s after the mastermind of the hospital fire. Dad’s gone; she won''t go


    after you."


    "Martin, I can''t." Serena maneuvered her wheelchair to leave, "I won’t hand over the phone, no matter


    what. Anything else, I''d consider." New ch?pter av?ble o? Draмаnоvеls.cоm


    "Serena." Martin quickly held onto the wheelchair, stopping her from leaving, "Our mom and sister are


    lying in there."


    "So am I not family to you? Do you disregard my feelings just because I don''t share the Cooper blood?


    In a crisis, you choose them over me?"
