"I had an old phone in the cab. What happened to that?" Lucas asked.

Mr. Woods caught up with him. "Lucas, I'm sorry! On behalf of your stepmother, I apologize! Her actions were indeed out of line! I'll teach her a lesson later! Did you have anything important saved on your old phone? What a pity that it's been thrown away." "I won't return. Take care of yourselves," declared Lucas, understanding that he was no longer wee as they had taken the effort to throw out all his belongings.
