Sarah looked at her cellphone which was on her desk. The expression on her face showed a doubt, wondering whether she should press the call button displayed on the screen of her cellphone or not.
The cellphone screen had displayed a number, or rather, a number from someone. The number she got from Anna, the blonde woman's number.
Right now she's really free because she doesn't have much surgery scheduled, maybe because of the problem she had yesterday, so the head of her department knows that she can't work to her full potential, so he gives it a little leeway.
So, in this free time, Sarah tries to get things done as quickly as possible. She wanted to ask the woman why she did this to her, to her babies.
Like… Why did she have to go this far?! Sarah didn't understand at all.
However, when she had finished typing the woman's number into her cellphone, Sarah suddenly couldn't continue.
What should she do when talking to that woman? Would she be able to keep herself calm while talking to that woman?
Sarah didn't know what to do!
"Hah!" Sarah sighed. Why should she think about this? It's not like she has to talk to an important person so she has to keep her attitude, right?
Having made up her mind, Sarah pressed the call button and picked up her cellphone and placed it to her ear.
The sound of the connected call made Sarah's heart beat faster. Soon she would be talking to that woman!
"Hello…"
Sarah swallowed hard when she heard a female voice she had heard before. Just like nine years ago, the woman's voice still sounded the same.
"Hello? Who's this?"
The woman's voice sounded confused and impatient. She began to wonder if the person calling her was a prankster.
"It's me," Sarah answered quietly, and sounded involuntarily hoarse.
"Who?" she asked, sounding a little annoyed. "Do I know you? This is your first time calling me with this number!"
Sarah didn't answer right away but she took a deep breath to calm herself that got carried away. Memories of the past nine years flashed back to her when she spoke to this woman on the phone, and it involuntarily irritated her a little.
"Of course you know me," Sarah said coldly. "I am Sarah, the mother of the kids you attacked," she continued.
Nine years ago, she had introduced herself as Michael's wife, and her reason to call her was to find out what the two of them were doing at the hotel.
Ironically, she called the woman again but this time she couldn't introduce herself as Michael's wife.
The woman remained silent and said nothing, as she had done that time when Sarah asked her to explain what had happened.
However, Sarah wasn't going to let her hang up again without hearing what she had to say.
"Let's meet at the cafe." Sarah then mentioned a cafe name. "It's near your apartment, so there's no reason for you not to come, right?" she continued in a half sarcastic tone, trying to provoke the woman.
"How did you know my apartment?" The woman's voice sounded surprised when she heard that.
Elizabeth was already surprised when Sarah suddenly called her, but hearing Sarah mention a cafe near her apartment made her unable to stop herself from asking.
"Is it important?" Sarah asked, still sarcastically. "Let's meet in an hour. I hope you won't run away like a coward. Just like you did nine years ago."
Without waiting for Elizabeth's answer, Sarah ended the call and put her cellphone back on the table.
Her heart was still beating fast, and she could feel sweat dripping down her palms. She thought she could be calm when talking to her. However, the memories of nine years ago made it impossible for her to do that.
She is upset and angry!
She was indeed annoyed and angry that the woman was targeting her babies, but it seemed to have doubled because of what happened nine years ago.
Sarah took a deep breath, trying to calm herself from getting emotional. Because of her emotions earlier, she said she wanted to meet the woman, even though that was not the plan.
She had thought about meeting the woman in person, to the point of finding a suitable place for them to meet, but when she thought about it again, she didn't want to see her face.
However, it seemed like she was going back to her original plan. Hopefully everything will be fine.
***
Sarah arrived at the cafe where their appointment was five minutes late because it was quite far from the hospital. Fortunately, the head of the hospital again gave her permission to come in for half a day.
That made Sarah a little suspicious. Was he doing it because he understood what was going on with her, or because he knew she was close to Michael?
However, whatever it was, Sarah didn't need to think about it any deeper and focus on her meeting with the woman.
As soon as she entered the cafe, she looked around for the woman she was about to meet. The cafe wasn't very busy, so Sarah easily saw the customers.
However, it seemed that the woman had not yet arrived, so Sarah took a seat and ordered a drink.
While waiting, Sarah tried to calm her heart that was pounding wildly with anger and occasionally took a sip of her drink.
"Is she not coming?" mumbled Sarah looking at her watch. She had been here twenty minutes, which meant that she was twenty-five minutes late.
Sarah gritted her teeth, the emotions she was trying to control came back out of nowhere. What exactly did this woman want? Why won't she come? Is she afraid?
She then took out her cellphone and called the woman. However, the woman did not answer the call at all.
"You bitch!" Sarah cursed softly when she had called three times, and that woman wasn't picking up. Looks like she did it on purpose.
Sarah then stood up, it seemed there was no point in her waiting here like an idiot. That woman won't come!
However, just as she pushed his chair towards the table, the bell placed on the cafe's door rang, signaling that someone had just arrived.
The blonde woman seemed to be looking for someone, and walked towards Sarah when their eyes met. Her facial expression was flat.
Meanwhile, Sarah sat back down when she saw the woman she had been waiting for finally arrived.
"Did you wait that long?" Elizabeth asked as she sat across from Sarah. "Sorry, I have to get ready first. You know how long it takes a woman to get ready," she continued as she smiled and looked at Sarah with a condescending look.
Unlike Elizabeth who came with full makeup on her face and did her hair, Sarah's appearance looked normal with her light makeup because she had just been from the hospital, and wearing that makeup was very unprofessional.
Sarah's outfit also looked casual, with a t-shirt with a fall coat and jeans.
Very different from Elizabeth who came in a sweater dress combined with boots up to her knees, not forgetting a pair of sunglasses and a Collins brand bag to complete her appearance, making her look like a model.
Sarah snorted at the woman's words. The woman even deliberately took off her glasses first to show her a disdainful look.
"I'm flattered that you're getting ready like this to see me," Sarah replied with a smile.
If the woman thought she was going to let her act on her own, then she was very wrong.
Elizabeth gritted her teeth when she heard that. She had deliberately prepared like this to meet the woman in front of her. However, she didn't expect that woman would shamelessly say that.
"Then where did you get my number and also my address?" asked Elizabeth curiously.
Did Michael give the woman her number?
It was the only reason Elizabeth could think of. However, why?
"It seems that you are curious about it to the point that you forget that I know you are the mastermind behind the news that spreads on the internet," Sarah said coldly.
"Yes, I did that," Elizabeth replied casually, then took the drink she had ordered earlier and took a sip.
Sarah's eyes opened in disbelief when she heard the woman admit her actions so easily. She already knew that she was doing it, but hearing it directly from her took her completely by surprise.
"Why… Why did you even do this?!" Sarah said, her voice rising and shaking with anger. "My babies are completely innocent!" she continued angrily.
"You're right. They are innocent kids," Elizabeth replied, nodding her head. "It's you."
"I?!" Sarah's expression was disbelieving. "So you mean, you did that, because it was my fault?!"
Elizabeth nodded.
"Yes!" Elizabeth answered, raising her voice. "Because you used your kids to get close to Michael, now that man broke our relationship! Why did you have to snatch Michael from me?!"
