Sarah was the only one who stayed with him over the last few days. She felt sad for him because the rest of the family usually only came to visit him at night. In their defense, she said, "They're all busy at work. I'm the one who is free at home and can come to you more often. Mrs. Thomas is very concerned about you. Otherwise, she wouldn't come to visit you every night!"
Mr. Thomas smiled bitterly. Sarah was unsure if it was an approving or denying smile. Instead of continuing to talk about them, he changed the topic casually. "Is Charles running the company now?"
"He has been very busy these days but hasn't explained to me in detail what he does. But whatever it is, I'm sure he can deal with it. He has always run his own company, and he's outstanding in the business."
"Aren't you bored at home? Don't you want to work there too?" He asked.
