The next day, Sybil’s test results came back.
Overall, the organ failure was less severe than what the previous nursing home had found.
Ordinarily, with proper treatment and attentive care, her condition could be stabilized at this stage.
But Sybil’s overall health was so poor that her organs were deteriorating faster than usual. The prognosis still looked grim.
After the doctor’s explanation, Charlene and Helena felt a mix of relief and anxiety.
They were relieved that Sybil still had a fighting chance, but worried because, given her current state, Sybil probably wouldn’t be able to cooperate fully with the treatment.
That afternoon, Kenton called and invited Charlene and Stewart out for dinner.
But Stewart was away on business, so Charlene drove by herself to pick Kenton up that evening.
As they arrived at the restaurant and got out of the car, Vesta—just about to step out of her own vehicle—caught sight of them.
She noticed Charlene and Kenton together, but Stewart was nowhere in sight. Not thinking much of it, she got out and walked toward Kenton. “Mr. Wagner.”
Kenton glanced at her coolly, gave a curt nod, and immediately turned back to Charlene. “Let’s go,” he said.
He started walking ahead, picking up their earlier conversation as if nothing had interrupted them.
A few days ago in Thorne’s office, when Charlene had discussed some of the latest developments in artificial intelligence with Professor Mack and the others, she’d earned their praise. Even though part of her felt she was just repeating what she’d heard from others, she couldn’t help keeping up with new trends in the field.
She could tell that Kenton was now talking to her about recent breakthroughs in AI—brain-computer interfaces, edge AI inference, and other hot topics.
After Kenton responded to her greeting with such indifference, Vesta didn’t try to join in. She simply kept a polite distance of about six feet, trailing behind them as they entered the restaurant.
With his status, his arrogance should have earned plenty of criticism. But his expertise was unmatched, and his contributions to the country were undeniable.
So even if his behavior didn’t fit his position, no one dared challenge him.
Yet just now, he’d been the one to bring up professional topics with Charlene. He was the one making the effort.
Was Kenton actually impressed by Charlene?
Otherwise, why would he agree to meet her alone for dinner—something he almost never did, not even for close acquaintances?
Had Charlene truly managed to get Kenton’s attention?
Remembering Kenton’s obvious preference for Charlene over herself, Vesta pressed her lips together as she watched them disappear into the restaurant.

The readers' comments on the novel: Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne)
Stewart and Charlene will the best match, both power players!...
Can't wait to read where Charlene will start another relationship... God for is she gets back with Thorne... She needs to be with York or Gaylord (to annoy vesta) or granger (to annoy Thorne)...
I know its ur story and u obviously have ur own plot line and all and have every right to build the story as u like but what writer provide isnt just entertainment, but they shape the narrative of young minds. So I would say that romanticing cheating is, or rather THORNE'S behaviour, wrong for all the reasons..give york a chance ..that will be way more satisfying...again all of this is just my point of view but if charlene and thorne get back together, its not the story im looking for...
Hey...please dont ever make Charlene and thorne get back together no matter what...he simply doesn't deserve it....no matter the reason or plot twist behind the way he treated his legally wedded wife....whether he actually slept with vesta or not....just his emotional cheating...not repecting his spouse....not caring enough to actually get to know the person his wife was....and actually distancing his child from her mother and encouraging her to bond with the mistress are all the biggest RED FLAGS... when a person enters a contract....he must uphold it no questions asked...its not like if ur partner isnt good enough, ur allowed to cheat..allowed to let a 3rd person in-between....if ur not satisfied with ur partner then u can get a divorce...whats the point of all the wealth, power and brilliance of mind when the ML cant even get his head around this simple fact...So, its fine it he regrets, but charlene shouldn't be with him in any case.....
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...
