"Joseph is at my house, what's wrong?"
I was so angry that I shouted out.
"Shouldn't he have sent the medicine here now? Why is he with you now?"
There was silence on the other end for a while, and soon someone else answered the call. It was Joseph.
He sounded calm, with a hint of impatience.
"Why are you yelling at Norah? I can't deliver it today because I have something else to do. They won't die without the medicine for a day. I'll deliver it tomorrow."
"Do you think they won't die?"
I burst into tears and almost begged him.
"Joseph, the doctor said my parents are dying and they need this special medicine immediately. You don't have to deliver it yourself, you can ask your assistant..."
Before I could finish my words, Joseph interrupted me impatiently.
"My assistant is busy, so he can't send it."
But I called his assistant ten minutes ago, and his assistant told me he was in Yoveet.
But I didn't have time to question Joseph, so I gave in again.
"Then tell me where the medicine is and I'll get it myself. Please, they're dying soon."
But Joseph doubted me.
"Mia, are you trying to trick me again? Now you even use your parents' illness to try to figure out my whereabouts. You're crazy."
