Worried about the possibility of any more unexpected events, Easton Holmes definitely wouldn’t let Lily Turner stay outside anymore. He was determined to take her back to the compound.
"Of course, that’s fine."
He pinched her nose and urged, "Hurry up and call Mom."
While speaking, he took out the phone from his pocket.
Lily Turner took the phone Easton Holmes handed her and immediately dialed Sophia Wood’s number.
"Hello!"
The phone had just rung once when Sophia Wood answered, and after just saying hello, she went quiet, seemingly waiting for the person on the other side to speak.
Lily Turner immediately called out, "Mom! It’s me."
"Lily! Child! Are you okay?"
As soon as she heard Lily Turner’s voice, Sophia Wood anxiously asked.
Earlier, when Lily Turner and Alice Turner didn’t return for a long time, Sophia Wood was somewhat worried and called Alice Turner.
When Alice Turner answered the phone hesitantly, Sophia Wood instantly sensed something was wrong. After repeatedly questioning, Alice Turner told her what had happened at the Military District Compound’s entrance.
Alice Turner also explained a series of events that happened later to Sophia Wood. Worried about Lily Turner, she really wanted to call to ask about the situation, but knowing Easton Holmes was explaining things to Lily, she held back.
After hanging up Alice Turner’s call, Sophia Wood held the phone, waiting for the situation on this side.
Just as she was getting anxious waiting, she received a call from Easton Holmes. She guessed it was Lily Turner but dared not be careless.
Hearing Sophia Wood’s concerned and worried voice, Lily Turner knew she already knew about what had just happened, and she was very clear on how she knew.
"I’m fine."
Although there was something just now, it’s nothing now.
"Are you really okay?"
Sophia Wood couldn’t see Lily Turner on this side of the phone and didn’t hear anything that sounded wrong, but she anxiously asked for reassurance.
Lily Turner nodded heavily, and just as she finished nodding, she realized she was on the phone with her mom, who couldn’t see her, so she quickly said, "I’m really fine. You can ask my sister if you don’t believe me."
She turned her head to look around, but didn’t see her sister’s figure.
"Honey! Let’s go home!"
As Lily Turner got up to find Alice Turner, Easton Holmes gently reminded her.
"OK!"
Since she was on the phone with her mom, she gestured ’OK’ to him, then withdrew her hand and took the phone to find her sister.
Lily Turner continued to search for Alice Turner while talking to Sophia Wood on the phone, "Mom! Pack up a bit, we’ll come to pick you up later."
As she spoke, she searched room by room.
"You guys will pick me up? Pick me up to where?"
Sophia Wood was still waiting for Alice and Lily Turner to return, but Lily said they were coming to pick her up. She was extremely puzzled, not understanding where the two sisters were taking her.
At this moment, Lily Turner pushed open the study door and saw Alice Turner, whom she had been looking for.
"Of course, we’re picking you up to my place." After saying this to Sophia Wood, she walked inside, "Sis! Hurry up and come with me, to my place."
As she walked towards her sister, she didn’t forget to urge her to come along.
"Your place? At the Military District Compound?"
Alice Turner was just as confused and puzzled as Sophia Wood on the phone.
