After a long pause, she finally asked, “Was there anything else?”
Jasmine was in the middle of sipping her juice, momentarily confused. “Hm? Anything else?”
“Anything else your dad did for your mom on his own initiative.”
Jasmine set her glass down, frowning in thought. “No, that’s it. After that, Mom got sick and came down with a fever. Dad took care of her the whole time. He said kids catch things easily, so he wouldn’t let me near her. I didn’t see Mom again until she was better.”
Hearing this, Vesta paused. “So it was your dad who looked after your mom when she was sick?”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
Vesta lowered her gaze and looked at Jasmine. “Was it your great-grandmother who told your dad to do that?”
Jasmine shook her head. “No, it wasn’t. Mom started running a fever before dawn yesterday. As soon as Dad found out she was sick, he took care of her himself and called to have Dr. Blake flown in by helicopter to see her. Great-grandma only found out Mom was ill after Dr. Blake arrived.”
Vesta could more or less guess who this Dr. Blake was—he was fairly well-known around the Capital, after all.
She asked, “After Dr. Blake arrived, your dad kept looking after your mom? So your dad spent all of yesterday taking care of her?”
Jasmine nodded. “Yeah, he didn’t leave her side until she got better.”
Vesta fell silent.
Yesterday, she’d tried calling Thorne. At first, he didn’t answer. She started to worry something had happened, so she called Coy, who told her that Thorne had just been in touch, said he had something urgent to handle, and pushed all his meetings to today.
Relieved but still uneasy, she called Thorne again. That time, he picked up, telling her it was nothing serious—just some business at the family estate that he couldn’t leave unattended for the moment.
