Chapter 318
Charlene was just about to speak when Thorne’s phone buzzed again.
“Probably Vesta,” Thorne muttered, stepping out to take the call. His voice softened, “It’s not too serious, don’t worry too much…”
When Thorne came back after finishing his call, Jasmine was just waking up. She blinked sleepily at them and mumbled, “Daddy, Mommy.”
Charlene and Thorne replied in unison, “Yes, sweetheart.”
Jasmine, still feeling dizzy, looked from Thorne to Charlene. Barely awake for a moment, she furrowed her little brows and drifted back to sleep.
Thorne and Charlene chose to sit quietly, not wanting to disturb Jasmine. Once she was soundly asleep, Thorne turned to Charlene and asked, “Are you going to stay?”
Charlene didn’t respond verbally, but her stillness was answer enough.
Thorne didn’t press further. He simply settled onto the sofa across the room.
Charlene, sitting by the bed, leaned back and soon found herself dozing off.
When she awoke, daylight was streaming through the windows. She realized she was now lying on Jasmine’s hospital bed.
Charlene blinked, confused. Last night she had been-
She glanced over at the sofa. Thorne was there, dozing with his hand propping up his head.
Feeling her stare, or maybe just by coincidence, Thorne opened his eyes and their gazes met. Charlene quickly looked away, deciding not to ask if he had moved her to the bed.
Thorne didn’t mention it either. He unfolded his legs and stood, “Are you heading home for breakfast, or eating
here?”
Charlene didn’t answer, her plans were her own concern.
Seeing her silence, Thorne didn’t push. He simply nodded and let it be.
A little while later, Jasmine awoke. The doctor came in to check on her just as the housekeeper and Latonia arrived, carrying breakfast boxes.
“Morning, ma’am,” they greeted Charlene as they entered.
Charlene frowned slightly at the title but didn’t comment.
The housekeeper and Latonia arranged breakfast on the coffee table. Thorne had instructed them to bring an extra portion for Charlene.
“Ma’am, would you like to have some breakfast?” the housekeeper offered.
Charlene shook her head, turning to Jasmine, “Mommy’s going home to shower, I’ll be back later to see you, okay?”
“Okay,” Jasmine replied weakly, “But hurry back, Mommy…”
“Of course.”
Charlene picked up her bag, gave Jasmine one last look, and left.
Back at home, she showered and had breakfast before returning to the hospital. On her way, she called Stewart to update him about Jasmine, “I’ll check on things here, might return to the office this afternoon.”
After all, Jasmine was her daughter, and Charlene needed to be there for her.

“Alright,” Stewart agreed.
At the hospital, Charlene found Granger and Moran in the room when she arrived.
Moran glanced at her, lips pursed, without speaking. Granger looked like he wanted to say something, but with Thorne there, he held back, casting a sidelong glance at him.
Thorne, noticing Charlene’s arrival, spoke first, “You’re here.”
Jasmine called out to Charlene too, “Mommy…”
Charlene nodded, “Yes, sweetie.”
Granger and Moran, with work awaiting them, didn’t linger. After greeting Jasmine and exchanging a glance with Charlene, they took their leave.
Jasmine’s condition wasn’t severe, so one person could easily stay with her.
Charlene thought Thorne would leave with Granger and Moran, but he stayed, managing his work from the hospital room while being there for Jasmine.
Seeing this, Charlene said nothing.

The readers' comments on the novel: Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne)
Enough already. This novel is dragging slowly. Updated with 2 chapters only. REALLY!!! Whoever the author or authors of this novel why is there a delay in penning more chapters? Here’s my question. In reading the comments from others does their opinions matters and/or make a difference? Are comments being monitored? Or is it only a tool allowing readers to blow off steam?...
Long wait to just get an upload of a couple of chapters. Very little progress in the story if any at all! For heaven's sake the story is 453 chapters so far with nothing or little change from where the story began! Show commitment to us your readers and followers please!...
Hi..its my 1st ever time commenting on any story. But seriously....i dont mean to come as rude but are u seriously thinking about the stroy or losing ur grip on the plot and characters...not updating...no story development...no commitment towards ur readers...u just uploaded 2 chapters after god know how long and still nothing to give to the story..if u dont want to write or simply cant then please dont...
The updates are so slow that I forgot the story for some time and just remembered it and read 20 chapters. The chapters are short and the story development is like a snail. 451 chapters and Charlene still couldn't break her image in other's eyes or dealth some serious damage to Vesta and her trash father....
It would be better to say right away that there are 10 chap/month...
Just give us updates already...
We're stuck at this chapter for over 2wks now Very annoying Thorne and vesta having the tune of their lives while Charlene is stuck More annoying...
Updating chapters to this novel is reminiscent of a sloth. There should be a disclaimer when this site states PUBLISH 10 chaps/day....
Seriously speaking story seems to loosing its grip.. no point in dragging.. it would be better if story gets wrapped within 600 chapters.....
Dragging and no real story. Mistress is having gala time and getting all attention and poor wife is getting neglected. The story is stuck and not moving...forget about the divorce let alone husband regretting. Boring book...
