Chapter 534

After a long pause, she finally asked, "Was there anything else?"

Jasmine was in the middle of sipping her juice, momentarily confused. "Hm? Anything else?"

"Anything else your dad did for your mom on his own initiative."

Jasmine set her glass down, frowning in thought. "No, that's it. After that, Mom got sick and came down with a fever. Dad took care of her the whole time. He said kids catch things easily, so he wouldn't let me near her. I didn't see Mom again until she was better."

Hearing this, Vesta paused. "So it was your dad who looked after your mom when she was sick?"

"Yeah, that's right."

Vesta lowered her gaze and looked at Jasmine. "Was it your great-grandmother who told your dad to do that?"

Jasmine shook her head. "No, it wasn't. Mom started running a fever before dawn yesterday. As soon as Dad found out she was sick, he took care of her himself and called to have Dr. Blake flown in by helicopter to see her. Great-grandma only found out Mom was ill after Dr. Blake arrived."
