After they had finished eating, Katherine felt the need to check in on her mom since she hadn't heard anything all day. While Charles cleaned up their lunch and put all of the extra fresh products away in the refrigerator and pantry, Katherine pulled her new phone out of her dress pocket and walked back outside to give Marcus a call.
The call only rang twice before Marcus answered and said in an exasperated voice, "She's fine, she's eaten, the doctor says she's improving at the right pace, and she's about to take a nap."
Katherine let out a sigh of relief as she pulled her fingers through her loose curls. "Thank you for watching after her today, Marcus. Did the doctor say if she will be fine to return home to Helios tomorrow?"
"She still needs another day or two because her body is still understandably weak, but there's also nothing else we can do for her other than what we're already doing. As long as she eats and rests, she'll be okay," Marcus replied.
