Chapter 40 Jealous

• In that moment, Aileen thought of Milton and reached for her phone. Alvin observed her actions, which seemed a bit strained. "Is everything alright?" he asked calmly.
• Aileen fell silent for a moment. After a brief pause, she dialed Milton's number. He answered the call promptly, and she spoke into the phone in a weak tone, "Mr. Quinn, could you do me a favor and pick me up from the Labyrinth Garden? I'm in a bit of trouble."
• Before she could finish her request, Alvin took her phone. Unable to retrieve it herself, she was gently pressed against him. Alvin quickly supported her to prevent her from falling. "No need for you to come over. I'll bring her out," he said to the person on the other end of the phone.
