As the family elder, Vernon Ross was the first to speak. "Thank you for bringing Minnie. You've both been standing for a long time; you should go home and rest."
Before Thorne could reply, Jasmine wrapped her arms around Charlene's legs. "I don't want to go home, Mommy. I want to stay here with you."
Helena's condition had been touch-and-go, and for a while, the family had feared the worst. Jasmine must have sensed her mother's anxiety and wanted to offer comfort.
Charlene looked down at Jasmine's upturned face, her expression softening. She gently stroked her daughter's cheek. "Mommy has to stay at the hospital to take care of your great-grandmother, so I won't be able to look after you properly. Why don't you go home with Daddy for now?"
"Okay. I'll come visit you and Great-Grandma tomorrow then."
"That's a good idea," Charlene agreed.
She then looked at Thorne. "Take Minnie home."
Thorne didn't argue. He only asked, "Should we tell Grandma?"
Charlene shook her head slightly. With Helena's condition still fragile, telling Irma Henderson now would only cause her unnecessary worry.
Thorne understood. He gave Vernon a nod, took Jasmine's hand, and left.
Helena's situation remained precarious. After a long discussion with the doctors to fully understand her condition, Charlene called Malvina.
Malvina was busy and didn't see the missed call for half an hour. She called back immediately. "I'll get in touch with a few specialists for your grandmother. Don't worry, Charlene. She's going to be fine."
Shortly after Charlene hung up, a team of doctors arrived at the hospital, requesting to review her grandmother's case.
Charlene was stunned by how quickly they had come. As she was thanking them, two more specialists arrived—renowned experts in pulmonology and geriatrics. They had also been called in to consult on Helena's condition.
