Olivia Thompson could imagine Charlotte Thompson's worried expression just from the phone call.
She then turned to see Oliver Hudson next to her, his eyes also full of distress.
"I'm sorry, Mommy Charlotte. It's Annie's fault. Annie has made you all worried."
Hearing this, Charlotte Thompson's nose tingled, and tears almost welled up in her eyes.
"Annie, you silly child, what are you talking about?"
How could this child be so sensible as to be heartbreaking?
Olivia Thompson turned to look at Annie Anne lying on the bed, bringing the phone closer and whispered softly,
"Mommy Charlotte, Annie misses you."
"Okay."
...
When Charlotte Thompson hurried to the hospital, she saw Olivia Thompson sitting pale-faced in front of Annie Anne's hospital bed, her eyes swollen like walnuts, cautiously pinching the corner of the blanket until her knuckles turned white.
