Jasmine's POV

When I got home from an exhausting day at the office, I threw myself down on the couch. It was obvious that Mr. Hollen was absent because the work load had gone into oblivion and beyond and nothing was going smoothly. Meetings after meetings were rescheduled and put off, deadlines weren't being met, and the list went on.

When Mr. Hollen gets back, he's going to flip out.

My cellphone rang, causing me to leap. I looked at the number.

Unknown.

I hated answering unknown numbers but I answered anyway.

"This is Jasmine," I spoke.

"Hello Jasmine. It's Dr. Shannon from the hospital."

My heart stopped.

"Your mother is awake and she wishes to see you and your sister."

My heart started beating again.

"Thank you. We'll be there as soon as possible."

"Okay. Goodbye."

"Goodbye."

I got up and went to find my sister. She was in her bedroom doing her school assignments. I knocked on the door and let myself in.

"Zen, mom is awake and she wants to see us."

"Fine."

I went into my room and took a quick shower and changed into something simple and comfortable.

Zenia and I walked to the bus stop and took a bus to the hospital.

We walked towards mom's occupied room and found her awake and looking up at the television.

"Mommy!" Zenia let out and ran over to her bed side.copy right hot novel pub
