In Penelope's hospital room, Zoe held a vase filled with water, carefully arranging a bunch of sword lilies that had been replaced into the vase.

When Uncle Martin's call came in, she had intended to answer it herself.

However, seeing Zoe occupied, Penelope took the initiative to answer for her, holding the phone to her ear so she wouldn't have to set down the flowers to take the call.

For some unknown reason, Zoe didn't insist on refusing Penelope's help but allowed her to hold the phone while she answered calls.

Perhaps it was a way of proving that anything the man did now was truly irrelevant to her.
