She retrieved her phone and scrolled through her address book in a futile attempt to find someone else who could lend assistance. In the end, the only option that remained was Stella.

After a brief moment of hesitation, Flossie answered the call.
“Flossie, we have a ring advertisement that needs to be photographed. We just require a few close-up shots of your hands. Can you come to the company tomorrow?” Colin inquired.
Before agreeing, Flossie was seized by another sharp pang in her abdomen. She furrowed her brow and pleaded for assistance. “Colin, are you available now? Could you come to the hospital?”

Flossie accepted his presence without hesitation. Fatigue washed over her, prompting her to slowly close her eyes.
Throughout the ordeal, Flossie’s phone persisted in its relentless ringing, causing her to furrow her brow in evident impatience.
After a brief pause, Colin inquired, “Aren’t you going to answer it?”
Without opening her eyes, Flossie replied in a hushed tone, “There’s no need. Please, turn off my phone. I don’t want any interruptions right now.”
