Chapter 437

Quintin knew Irma as well.

After greeting Irma, Quintin's gaze shifted to Charlene, and she offered a warm smile. "You must be Charlene?"

It was Charlene's first time meeting Quintin. She replied respectfully, "Yes, that's me."

Quintin nodded, clearly pleased. "You're a striking young woman."

Before coming to the hospital, Quintin had already been briefed about Sybil's condition. Still, she didn't rush to propose any specific treatment. Instead, she planned to observe Sybil a bit longer and get a clearer picture before making any decisions.

Charlene and Helena had intended to stay by Sybil's side the whole time and, as a gesture of gratitude, invite Quintin out for lunch. But Quintin waved them off, asking them to head home for now. She'd update them as soon as she had a treatment plan.

"As for lunch," Quintin said, glancing at Charlene with a smile, "there'll be plenty of chances in the future. No need to rush."

With Quintin making herself clear, Charlene and Helena had no choice but to leave.

After leaving the hospital, Charlene returned to work at the office, while Irma accompanied Helena back to the Ross residence.

That evening, Charlene came back to the Ross home for dinner, and Irma was still there.

Shortly after the meal, as Irma was getting ready to leave, she looked at Charlene, gave her hand a gentle pat, and sighed.

Irma knew about Charlene and Thorne's recent trip to city hall to finalize their divorce. Since they'd made up their minds, there was no point in trying to talk them out of it. Besides, even if she wanted to interfere, some people simply wouldn't listen.
