Chapter 448

Before the doctor Charlene had addressed could answer, a young nurse nearby jumped in with an explanation. "The patient in Room 03 is an elderly lady. She fainted yesterday because of high blood pressure. After a thorough checkup, there wasn't anything seriously wrong. She could've been discharged the same day, but her family insisted she stay for observation-they were worried about her."

"She's quite picky, too. She refused to stay in a regular room and demanded a VIP suite. Her family was just as insistent. The VIP rooms have been fully booked for days, but since they're related to someone important, that person pulled some strings, and they basically took a room that was already reserved for someone else..."

The nurse rambled on until the doctor, worried about being overheard, gave a pointed cough. The nurse quickly fell silent.

So, they'd be leaving tomorrow?

That thought eased Charlene's anxiety-at least Sybil was less likely to run into anyone from the Hawkins or Spencer families if the VIP patient left soon.

Still... what if someone intentionally tried to upset her mother?

Worry gnawed at her. Charlene turned to the doctor and nurse, her voice firm despite her unease. "My nerves are a bit frayed lately. I can't handle any more stress. Please keep an eye on who goes in and out of my mother's room. Other than the nurses and doctors she knows and us-the Ross family-no one else is allowed in without our permission."

"And if anyone comes around asking about my mother, I need you to let me know right away."

The doctor nodded reassuringly. "Of course, Ms. Ross. You have our word."
