After hanging up the phone, Charlene sneezed again. Her aunt Maisie was worried she might have caught a cold and made her some hot tea. After drinking it, Charlene felt her head getting heavier and soon fell asleep.

Jasmine came over, looking somewhat concerned, “Mom, are you sick?”

Irma was also worried and suggested taking her back to the Henderson family so their trusted family doctor could take a look at her, claiming the old doctor had a knack for quick recoveries.

Helena thought her illness had come on too strong to delay any treatment and also advised her to return with Irma to the Henderson Mansion for the family doctor’s examination.

back at the mansion, the family doctor came over, prescribed some medicine, and after taking a bowl of it, Charlene went upstairs to sleep again.

When she next woke up, she felt much lighter in both body and mind. Opening her eyes, she saw a small lamp on, and turning her head, she spotted Thorne reading a book.
