Black marriage - Season 1 - Episode 60

‘Then I would drive myself’
‘Are you sure??? You would be careful, won’t you?’

Jessica sighed. ‘I can drive well Andy, I would be fine. Take care. I love you’
‘Sighs… I love you too baby, be careful. Call me when you get there’

‘I will. Kisses’
Jessica smiled and dropped her phone inside her bag. She brushed her hair and decided that she would love a braid.

He hung up and quickly picked Jessica’s incoming call. “Oh Jess, thank God”
“Hello sir”

Andy frowned and checked the caller’s name again. What is a man doing with my wife’s phone? “Yes, who are you? And what are you doing with my wife’s phone?”
“I am sorry sir, this is inspector Majid. Your wife was involved in an accident. She has been rushed to Jackins hospital in an ambulance. I saw her phone and…
