Chapter 195: Callan will Be Fine
Emily stayed there for a moment, staring after him. What was wrong with him? Why had he been crying in his sleep? Was this a one time thing?
She frowned when she remembered overhearing Callan’s mom telling her mom years ago that Callan kept having nightmares and she didn’t know what else to do for him.
Was he still having those nightmares all these years? What was he dreaming about?
Why did she give him the satisfaction of annoying her even when she knew very well that he done said that to avoid the conversation?
She reached for her glass of water again and was about to pick it up and return to her room when her phone started to ring on the coffee table.
The sound made her jump a little.
She didn’t need to look at the screen to know that it was Mari.
With a sigh, Emily picked it up and received the call. "Hello, Jam," she greeted with a smile when she saw he was on the call.
"Em, sorry I haven’t called you back since our last conversation. Things have been crazy over here. I just realized I haven’t spoke with my siblings for the past two weeks. Can you believe it? I feel so irresponsible," Jamal confessed, feeling really disappointed in himself.
"There is nothing irresponsible about you. I haven’t called you back either since our last conversation and I don’t even have as much drama going on in my life as you. And you haven’t spoken to your siblings because neither of them has reached out to you either. You’re not irresponsible. You have a lot going on and since you’ve always been the type to reach out, it’s only ideal that we reach out more to you now. And the difference in time zone really doesn’t help. Don’t feel bad," Emily said as she sat down on the couch Callan had been sleeping on, and Mari laughed.
"Aww. You sound so wise right now, Em," Mari said, and both Emily and Jamal laughed.
