Chapter 221 - Contact information needed (1/2)

Early next morning Sarah woke up in a hotel room next to Aiden. She moved closer to him, wanting to increase area of his skin on hers, but her mood was spoiled when she realized that a phone is ringing, and it already rang at least three times all the way, before reaching the voicemail. 'Who is this persistent?' She leaned over Aiden and saw that it was his phone. ”Hey, it's your phone, why are you not waking up?” Sarah grumbled and looked at Aiden who was still sleeping.

She loved caressing him sneakily before he wakes up, but part of her was upset that she woke up because of his phone, while he was still enjoying in the dreamland. Sarah moved her body lower with a mischievous expression and bit the side of his armpit.

Aiden jerked out of his sleep, ”What the...” his eyes opened, full of sleepy disapproval of her action.

Sarah felt a bit guilty and lowered her head. ”Your phone is ringing for a while. Maybe it's something important.” She mumbled.

Aiden frowned at her and shifted to reach his phone. He picked up. With half closed eyes and a deep drowsy voice, he spoke. ”Yes... yes, you woke me up... yes... tell me... … … what?...” Aiden was wide awake and glanced at Sarah with a mix of shock and amusement.

Aiden switched call to be on speaker, ”Jeff, can you repeat that?”

Aiden focused his gaze on Sarah as Jeff's voice came from the phone speaker. ”I need personal contact information for a resident in Franciscan Medical Center in Seattle. First name JoAnna. I don't know her last name.”

Sarah looked at Aiden and then at the phone in disbelief for some time.

After some silence, Jeff spoke again: ”That should not be a problem for you, right? I called Franciscan Medical Center, and they refused to give me the information.”

Sarah took the phone from Aiden and hesitated for a second before asking: ”Why do you need her information?”

Jeff fumbled, obviously embarrassed, ”Oh, Sarah... hi... sorry if I woke you up.”

There was a minute of silence.

Sarah repeated, ”You didn't answer my question... why do you want her information?”

Jeff was not sure what to say and not to reveal too much. ”That resident... she took care of me while I stayed in the hospital... I wanted to contact her and thank her.”

Sarah's instincts screamed that he is lying... but she also knew that there is no way to fish out the truth out of Jeff. Why would he want to contact JoAnna? It's a mystery. Do they know each other? JoAnna never mentioned him. ”I will tell her that you said thanks.”

”You know her?” It was obvious that Jeff is doubting her.

”Yes.”

”How can you be sure that it's the same JoAnna?”

Sarah grimaced, and Aiden had trouble containing laughter. The whole situation was very comical. Sarah knows better than to give her sister's information without permission, but she can still say something. ”Because JoAnna is my sister.”

There was some silence before Jeff spoke: ”Are you sure?”
