Only after Shui Xian's reminder did Raelle think about the long-forgotten cellphone. The mobile phone had never been something precious to her like most people of her age. She just carried it around because it was convenient for her family to keep track of her whereabouts. Other than that, she hardly had any use for the phone. After all, someone like her wasn't fond of wasting time scrolling on social media.
"It should be in my bag," said Raelle. "I didn't think of turning it on after the flight."
Shui Xian was momentarily shocked that someone would forget their own phone's presence but then he remembered that his wife was obviously out of the ordinary. She definitely could forget about something like a phone.
"You called me?" she asked.
"Yeah," answered Shui Xian softly as he took out her phone and turned it on for her.
"Why?" asked Raelle.
"I can't call my wife?" retorted Shui Xian avoiding her eyes.
