He asked which hospital Henry was in. For Timothy, this was a good sign-it meant Jessica was worried about their son.

He immediately texted Vince, letting him know he was on his way to Riverside Hospital. He didn't have any more details yet.

Vince snapped his phone shut, stood up, and took Jessica's hand. "Come on. Let's go to the hospital."

Mrs. Zimmerman called after them, "Drive safe, you two. Don't go too fast."

When they arrived, Timothy and Mabel were already waiting outside the emergency room.

As soon as Mabel spotted Jessica, she rushed over. "Ma'am!"

Mabel was clearly anxious. As angry as Henry's behavior had made her, he was still Jessica's son-a part of her, no matter what. Even if Jessica had given up custody in the divorce, there was no way she'd want anything bad to happen to her child.

"What happened to Henry? How did he suddenly lose consciousness?"

"I don't really know," Mabel said, wringing her hands. "We were just having dinner and he fainted out of nowhere. It scared me half to death."

Jessica frowned. "Has he seemed off lately? Anything unusual?"

"A few days ago, Miss Sallie took him home, and he's been staying at the Lawson place ever since. Mr. Lawson only brought him back today. He seemed fine."
