My Great Escape Led Me to You novel Chapter 338

The moment the housekeeper finished speaking, Emily Blair’s finger was still hovering over the “block” button when another unknown number flashed on her phone—a number with an area code from the far south.

The shrill ring of the phone sounded urgent and out of place in the quiet hospital room. The housekeeper frowned. Emily’s expression didn’t change. She declined the call and, with practiced ease, added the number to her blocked list.

“Ms. Blair, why are you getting so many calls?” the housekeeper asked in a low voice.

Emily, head down, silently continued blocking the remaining unfamiliar numbers. Even as an outsider, the housekeeper couldn’t help but sense something was wrong. Her heart began to pound—something big and out of control seemed to be brewing.

She studied Emily’s face, searching for any flicker of panic or helplessness, but Emily remained calm, her voice steady when she finally spoke.

“It’s nothing. Probably just a bunch of bored people who got hold of my number and decided to mess around.”

The housekeeper felt a small sense of relief at Emily’s explanation.

But just as she relaxed, another call came through from a different unknown number.

Emily didn’t hesitate; she rejected the call and blocked it as well.

By now, the housekeeper couldn’t accept Emily’s casual explanation anymore. She spoke quietly, “Ms. Blair, is there something you can’t handle? Mr. Lane told me if you ever needed anything, I should let him know. He said he’d help you with whatever it is.”

As she spoke, the phone kept buzzing with new calls, over and over. The housekeeper watched Emily block each number, her voice still cool and unruffled. “That won’t be necessary.”
