No matter how many times he dialed , the only sound that came from the phone was that mechanical female voice saying , Im sorry , the number you have dialed is temporarily unavailable . Please try again later ! He was so anxious that he couldnt stand steadily . Still not fully recovered , he felt dizzy and fell to the ground . Auntie rushed over to help him when she heard the noise . He anxiously asked , Auntie , did Marlene come back after she went out this morning ? Did she say where she was going and when she would be back ? Ive been trying to call her but couldnt reach her . Auntie then exclaimed , turned around and took a box . Castillos phone is here . She said she wont be coming back for lunch or dinner today when she went out in the morning . Shes going to have a gatherin with her friends . The phone was brought by Ms. Castillos friend this afternoon , who said that the young lady left her phone at her place . Brennan took the box and opened it , and inside was Marlenes phone . He wanted to turn on his phone and find his friends contact information , but he discovered that the phone had run out of battery . After fully charging , he quickly opened the address book , but there was not a single contact in it . Luckily , when I opened WhatsApp , I found that good girlfriend she used to mention frequently before , and there were a few unread messages from this friend on the page . Marlene , the phone you left with me ran out of battery . If you charge it and see this message , please reply to me . Marlene , why didnt you reply to my messages ? Whats going on ? Marlene , didnt you say you were going to the school to take care of something and then come back home ? Please reply to my message quickly !

Marlene hasnt come home yet , so I have a few questions to ask you . Please answer them truthfully . The girl across nervously swallowed her saliva and quickly replied calmly , May I help you ? 1/3 Today I called Marlene , and it was you who answered , right ? Yes ! I had already informed you truthfully at that time , Marlene went to the restroom , so I helped her answer the phone . Why did she later leave her phone with you ? Marlene hurriedly left , saying she had some things to take care of at school . Her phone wasnt left with me , but I helped her pick it up after she dropped it . Why was she so anxious about what happened at school ? Im not sure about this either . I was planning to ask Marlene about it after she returned , but she hasnt replied to my messages . Uncle , if Marlene goes back , can you please make sure she contacts me as soon as possible ? Im really worried about her ! Brennan didnt have time to think about anything else .
