Chapter 738

She naturally had to leave as well.

She looked down at Minnie. “I’m going to take Great-Grandma Helena home. Why don’t you stay here and keep Great-Grandma Irma company p>

Minnie nodded obediently. “Okay p>

Charlene and Helena returned to the Ross family home. Around ten o’clock that night, Charlene stepped out of the shower and saw a text from Thorne sent a few minutes prior. It read that Claudia had woken up and was officially out of the woods.

As for Lloyd, he was still in a coma, and the doctors couldn’t say when he would wake.

Charlene read the message, typed a brief [Got it], and tossed her phone aside.

While she cared about the Henderson family’s situation, it wasn’t her place to overstep. So, the next morning, she headed into the office for work as usual.

Helena would carve out time to visit Irma.

Charlene made sure to call Irma to check in on her as well.

Thorne was splitting his time between overnight hospital shifts and running his company. He was busy through Saturday, so Minnie stayed with Charlene.

With Lloyd’s condition still uncertain, Irma stubbornly spent most of her days at the hospital, refusing to leave.

Over the weekend, Charlene accompanied Minnie to the hospital to visit Lloyd and Claudia. It gave her a chance to check in on Irma, too.

Although Claudia was conscious, her injuries were severe, and she was looking at a long hospital stay.

When she saw Charlene bring Minnie in to visit, she offered a polite nod.

Lloyd remained unconscious. By Sunday evening, Charlene took Minnie back to the Ross residence.

First thing Monday morning, right after waking up, Charlene received a call from

Irma.

Through tears of joy, Irma announced that Lloyd had finally opened his eyes. He had fallen back asleep shortly after, but he was officially past the critical phase.

Hearing the news, Charlene and Helena finally let out a sigh of relief.

After breakfast, Charlene dropped Minnie off at school. As soon as she reached her office, her phone chimed. It was a text from Thorne. [My father woke up. He’s out of the woods p>

Charlene read the text and typed a quick response. [I know p>

Irma had already given her the news over an hour ago.

It took Thorne this long to remember to tell her.

Thorne sent another message. [Thank you for looking after Minnie these past few days. And please thank your grandmother for Comforting and taking care of m grandma p>

Charlene: [You’re welcome p>

ret

Assuming the conversation was over, she set her phone down and prepared to dive into her work Then,

it buzzed again.

Another text from Thorne. [Are you free for lunch? I’d like to treat you and the grandmothers to a meal p>

Charlene frowned and replied, [No need p>

Thorne: [But I already asked Grandma, and she really wants to celebrate the good news with you both p>

Charlene: [Got it p>

After ending the chat with Thorne, she called Helena to let her know about Irma’s lunch invitation.

Helena chuckled. “I know, dear. Irma already called me herself p>

Surprised that Irma had beaten her to the punch, Charlene said, “Alright, I’ll be there p>

She hung up and focused on her work.

Right before noon, Thorne texted her the restaurant’s address.
