"Is everything okay?" Melanie asked when she saw the worried expression on Brad's face, but Brad glanced at Ann instead, "That was Brenna on the phone. Grandma just collapsed. They're on their way to the hospital," He said, making Grace gasp, while Ann looked at him with horror, and her cutlery dropped from her hand.
"What happened? She was okay when I spoke with her earlier. It isn't anything serious, right? It can't be very serious. I should be able to meet her when I leave tomorrow, right?" Ann asked fearfully, close to tears, while Melanie placed a hand over her hand to calm her.
Brad drew in a deep breath and said, "I honestly don't know."
"She wasn't looking very good when I left. I really hope she'll be okay," Grace said, reaching out to pat Brad's hand. He held her hand as though trying to comfort her too. A gesture which wasn't lost on anyone on the table.
