Tossing aside the complaints, Alice Turner still answered the call from Charlotte Shaw. Although she had already guessed the purpose of the call, she still asked, "Charlotte! Is there something you need from me?"
"Alice! Do you have time this morning? Benjamin is being discharged today. If you have time, please come over." Charlotte Shaw was much more direct than her mother Isla Lane, going straight to the point and saying what was on both their minds.
Alice Turner glanced at the man beside her, who also looked back at her, and they shared a knowing smile. She withdrew her gaze, "Charlotte! I have time this morning."
"That's wonderful. You must come earlier; Benjamin is leaving the hospital at nine." Hearing Alice Turner say she had time, Charlotte Shaw was thrilled and eagerly urged Alice to come over early even before she confirmed it.
