Before leaving, Rosalie wanted to visit her grandmother because she didn't know when she would return from Melrine.

As soon as she answered, an anxious voice cthrough the phone. "Rose, is that you? It's your aunt." Rosalie frowned. "How did you get my phone number?" But as soon as she asked, Rosalie remembered that she had helped Laila with the hospitalization procedures and left her phone number. So, it wasn't surprising that Laila had her number. "Rose, never mind that for now. Can you lendsmoney?" "I've already said that I won't lend you any money. You should repay the debt you owe yourself." If she lent money to Laila now, it would be a bottomless pit.
"Rose, I'm begging you. I swear it's just this once!" "I don't believe your oaths. People like you will never stop. You've already squandered my parents' compensation and extorted my grandmother. I won't give you a single penny. If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up." "No!" Laila screamed. "Rose, I beg you. If you don't lendmoney, I'm doomed! Can you lendone million? I'll pay you back. Please, I'm begging you. Help me! For the sake of your parents, please, I'm begging you!" Hearing Laila's panicked voice, Rosalie felt something was wrong. She immediately asked, "Who do you owe money to?" "Rose, I'm begging you, lendone million. I'll do anything in return. I swear I won't gamble anymore after this. Please, just lendone million." Rosalie heard Laila's desperate voice, and wondered if she was in skind of danger. If she didn't lend her one million, could it threaten her aunt's life? But on second thought, this was .n likely Laila's trick. As a gambler, she could do anything. For money, she would resort to any means. If Rosalie gave her money today, she would be harassed with the stactics next time.
Rosalie shouldn't start. If she did, it would never end.
So, Rosalie gritted her teeth and said, "I won't lend you money. Handle your own affairs. I need to go see my grandmother. I don't have tto talk to you." After saying that, Rosalie hung up.
A full minute passed, and Rosalie grew increasingly anxious. Was Laila really in danger? What if she owed money to scriminals and they were threatening her life? Rosalie really didn't want to help Laila. She was a gambler, so no matter how much help she received, it would be useless. She said she would change, but the next time, she would fall back into the sold habits.

But what if Laila died because Rosalie didn't help her? No matten what, she was Rosalie's relative. She had to help Laila, even if it was for her father's sake. At this thought, Rosalie called Laila, wanting to ask her the details.
However, an automated voice message cfrom the other end. "The the number you dialed is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."
Laila had just called her, but now, she wasn't reachable. Rosalie's anxiety grew. Could something have happened?
