The phone rang for a while and was answered just as the service provider was about to cut the call. The voice on the other end of the line was very surprised, "Sammy?"
"It's me." Samantha smiled slightly. "How have you been, Dr. Sherwood?"
That was the first time Samantha had called him since he left, he even wondered if he had misread when he first saw the caller ID.
Hearing that familiar voice, he could not help but smile. "I've been good. How about you?"
He thought that they would no longer be in contact if there was nothing important.
He was pleasantly surprised and very happy too.
"I..." Samantha hesitated before going any further. Instead, she rephrased and asked, "Dr. Sherwood, do you mean what you said?"
Alan's smile receded.
It appeared that something did happen to her.
When he left, he had promised Samantha that she could come to him if she ever needed any help.
