I can’t go the bookstore with you today

Eric : Hello.


Andre : Hello. May I speak to Eric?


Eric : This is Eric. Who’s speaking?


Andre : This is Andre. I just want to tell you that I can’t
go the bookstore with you today.


Eric : Hold on. Tell me what’s wrong?


Andre : Well, my brother is being treated in the hospital
for dengue fever. So I have to stay in the hospital
today.


Eric : Oh I’m sorry to hear that. I hope your brother
will get well soon.


Andre : Thanks, Eric. I hope so.
