Chapter 392

I had no idea when the phone stopped ringing. I just knew that when Brandon carried me from the bathroom to bed, all the bones in my body had turned to jelly. I was so exhausted that I didn't even want to open my eyes. Nestled under the covers, I soon fell asleep. "Take a nap. I'll make some potato soup for you," Brandon whispered in my ear. I murmured a soft acknowledgment and drifted into slumber, but even in my half-asleep state, I kept hearing the phone ringing. I didn't want to move, and I couldn't open my eyes. I groped around the bed, but the space beside me was empty. "Brandon…" I called out for him. Brandon hurried over and leaned down. "What's wrong?" Without opening my eyes, I mumbled, "My phone is so noisy." "What?" It seemed he didn't catch what I said. "Phone. Noisy," I repeated. Brandon didn't respond right away, but he spoke after a moment, "Mae, you're dreaming. Your phone isn't ringing. It's turned off." Really? Then, what was that ringing I kept hearing?
