Mr. Hayes stopped moving the hand that was applying medicine for Quinn.

“Something strange? What kind of strange thing?”

“Nothing! I am just spouting nonsense,” Lauren quickly said.

Mr. Hayes mumbled to himself before continuing to treat Quinn’s wound.

Suddenly, Lauren’s phone watch rang. She recognized the number. It was the phone number of Ruby’s guardian.

She pointed at the phone number and shouted excitedly, “Ruby is calling me!”

Everyone in the Torres family already knew that Lauren had a good friend who was coming to stay for the time being. They knew what Ruby had experienced in her own home, so they didn’t have any objections.

Lauren picked up the call.

“Hello, Ruby?”

Everyone could hear the conversation since the phone watch was set to speaker mode.

“Lauren, it’s me.”

“Where are you now?”

“I’m still at the police station. The social worker is helping me with the paperwork. I’m waiting for her.”

Initially, Lauren wanted to ask about her situation, but she decided to wait until she met Ruby in person.

“By the way, Lauren, I’ve already sent in my application to live with you to the police. Can I come over today?”

Why was she in such a hurry? Lauren was a little surprised.

“Um…of course. That’s great.”

“But the police still need you guys to go through the formalities,” Ruby said.

Franklin heard the conversation. He pointed at his phone and Lauren understood.

“My brother will call the police. There’s no need to go over.”

“I see. Alright, then the police will send us over in a while.”

“Alright, Ruby. See you later.”

Mr. Hayes put away the medical kit and stood up from the sofa. “In that case, I have to quickly prepare an extra set of toiletries in Miss Torres’ room. I didn’t expect her friend to arrive so quickly.”

Lauren also felt that it was a little strange that Ruby would be so eager. She had never been a person who liked to trouble others. Lauren originally thought that Ruby would only come over after she called to rush her. Hence, she did not expect that Ruby would actually come over on her own accord.

Lauren also quickly jumped down from the chair, no longer caring about the pizza or Sichuan food anymore. She went straight to her room to clean up.
