Before the doctor Charlene had addressed could answer, a young nurse nearby jumped in with an explanation. “The patient in Room 03 is an elderly lady. She fainted yesterday because of high blood pressure. After a thorough checkup, there wasn’t anything seriously wrong. She could’ve been discharged the same day, but her family insisted she stay for observation—they were worried about her.”
“She’s quite picky, too. She refused to stay in a regular room and demanded a VIP suite. Her family was just as insistent. The VIP rooms have been fully booked for days, but since they’re related to someone important, that person pulled some strings, and they basically took a room that was already reserved for someone else…”
The nurse rambled on until the doctor, worried about being overheard, gave a pointed cough. The nurse quickly fell silent.
So, they’d be leaving tomorrow?
That thought eased Charlene’s anxiety—at least Sybil was less likely to run into anyone from the Hawkins or Spencer families if the VIP patient left soon.
Still… what if someone intentionally tried to upset her mother?
Worry gnawed at her. Charlene turned to the doctor and nurse, her voice firm despite her unease. “My nerves are a bit frayed lately. I can’t handle any more stress. Please keep an eye on who goes in and out of my mother’s room. Other than the nurses and doctors she knows and us—the Ross family—no one else is allowed in without our permission.”
“And if anyone comes around asking about my mother, I need you to let me know right away.”
The doctor nodded reassuringly. “Of course, Ms. Ross. You have our word.”
Even with their promise, though, Charlene couldn’t shake her worries. After all, if she was making inquiries about the Hawkins and Spencer families, there was no reason to think they weren’t doing the same about her.
Her real fear was that the other families already knew why she and her mother were here…

Meanwhile, in another part of the hospital, it was Georgina Spencer who had been admitted this time.
Henley had business to attend to, so after a brief visit to check on Georgina, he left.
Just as Charlene had suspected, no sooner had Henley gone than Rhoda began telling Georgina about how she’d seen Charlene and Helena in the hallway.
Rhoda let out a soft laugh. “Oh, we go way back.” Then she continued, “If it’s really multiple organ failure, I suppose there isn’t much time left?”
“That was true, but they have a lot of influence. They brought in Dr. Quintin, and he’s a miracle worker. I hear the chances of recovery are actually pretty good now.”
The smiles on Rhoda and Georgina’s faces faded slightly.
After the nurse left, Rhoda let out a cold snort. “Some people really do have all the luck.”
She couldn’t help but add, “That brat Charlene sure landed on her feet when she latched onto Stewart Ferguson.”
If Charlene hadn’t known Stewart, Sybil would probably already be—
Maureen stayed silent, but her brow furrowed deeply.

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...
