Chapter 497

Two days later, just around noon, Charlene Ross and Gaylord Hearst were on their way to the cafeteria for lunch when her phone suddenly rang.

It was a call from Thorne Henderson.

Charlene glanced at the screen, hesitated for a moment, then answered. "Hello?"

"Grandma's awake."

A wave of relief swept over Charlene. "I'll head over right now."

"Alright."

After hanging up, Charlene turned to Gaylord, who had paused beside her, waiting. "Sorry, something's come up. I'll have to skip lunch."

Gaylord caught a glimpse of the number flashing on her phone and could tell it was urgent. "No worries," he said.

Charlene gave a quick nod and hurried off.

By the time she arrived at the hospital, Thorne, Jasmine Henderson, Tiffany Henderson, Claudia, Lloyd Henderson, and a few others were already gathered there.
