"He must not be close to his phone," he muttered as he turned to greet the Gimenez family goodnight and head home when his phone rang.
"Hello?"
"How is he, Javi? Were you able to reach him?" Anne's voice came from the other end of the line.
"Not yet, Anne. It seems he's not with his phone. He will call back when he sees it."
"He's going to be alright, hon, okay?"
"But... he looked like he was in so much pain," Javi said, trying to keep himself composed. "He was on the verge of crying."
"I know, dear. I was heartbroken too when I saw it. But I'm sure the medics will administer something to quell the pain. I promise he will be alright. Lukas is a warrior."
"Yeah... You're right... He is a warrior."
A beep sounded from Javi's phone as he was speaking with Anne, and Lukas's number appeared on the screen.
"He's calling me now, Anne. I'll call you back after we talk, okay?"
"Alright, go. Wish him a speedy recovery for me," she responded before ending the call.
