Two days later, just around noon, Charlene Ross and Gaylord Hearst were on their way to the cafeteria for lunch when her phone suddenly rang.
It was a call from Thorne Henderson.
Charlene glanced at the screen, hesitated for a moment, then answered. “Hello?”
“Grandma’s awake.”
A wave of relief swept over Charlene. “I’ll head over right now.”
“Alright.”
After hanging up, Charlene turned to Gaylord, who had paused beside her, waiting. “Sorry, something’s come up. I’ll have to skip lunch.”
Gaylord caught a glimpse of the number flashing on her phone and could tell it was urgent. “No worries,” he said.
Charlene gave a quick nod and hurried off.
By the time she arrived at the hospital, Thorne, Jasmine Henderson, Tiffany Henderson, Claudia, Lloyd Henderson, and a few others were already gathered there.
As soon as Charlene walked in, Jasmine rushed into her arms. Thorne glanced over at them, then turned back to the elderly woman in the bed and said gently, “Grandma, Charlene’s here.”
At the mention of Charlene’s arrival, Irma Henderson’s face lit up with a faint smile, and she tried to turn her head toward the doorway.
Charlene stepped forward and took the old woman’s hand. “Grandma.”
Irma patted her hand softly, wanting to speak, but before she could get a word out, her eyelids fluttered closed and she drifted back to sleep.
Panic flickered across Charlene’s face. “Grandma—”
Thorne placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder. “She just woke up. The doctors said her condition’s still unstable, and she’s low on energy. They said it’s perfectly normal, so don’t worry.”
Charlene finally let out a long breath. Still, seeing Irma so pale and frail, she couldn’t help but worry this might be a final rally. “But… is she really going to be alright?”
Everyone could tell she was just making an excuse.
Lloyd paused, glancing at Thorne.
Before Thorne could say anything, Jasmine hung her head, fiddling with the stuffed animal in her arms.
Thorne didn’t try to stop Charlene from leaving. He simply said, “Let me walk you out.”
Charlene knew he probably wanted to talk. “Thanks,” she replied.
Thorne turned to Jasmine. “Minnie, go play with Uncle Terence for a bit. Daddy will be right back.”
“Okay.” Jasmine said, though her eyes clung to Charlene, full of longing. Charlene caught her gaze, hesitated, then reached out and ruffled Jasmine’s hair. “When I have some free time, I’ll take you out for a day, alright?”
Jasmine’s face lit up at last. She clung to Charlene’s hand and beamed. “Promise!”

Comments
The readers' comments on the novel: Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne)
It is now mind numbing excruciating and irritating in the Chinese version where Thorne is ambiguous and now openly again intimate with Vesta, she leans and mutters sweetly holding his arm! And her clan are viciously demeaning Charlene while Thorne is within hearing distance. There is no justice no reparations for Charlene. Utter disheartening this novel is now...
Thorne must have bashed his head somewhere....
Chapters 480 and on are repeat from previous chapters. What's up with that? Time to stop reading this novel....
Thanks for the update. Keep them coming please!...
Any hope for Vesta being brain-dead?...
Thanks PINKK889 for the info. The same version is also on You tube except dubbed in English and titled “ I divorced my husband who cheated now begging me to come back” Enjoy...
Gosh, this is excruciating ! The slow pace made me leave this for over 3 months. Was just taking a peek and not much development. Btw they have now made this into a 3hr 40 min long drama.Available on daily motion under, the name, next chapter without you. But all the other fringe characters such as York Granger Gaylord are missing in the movie. Ending is very satisfying, practical and apt. She chooses to leave thorne and jasmine and be with Stewart. Vesta and family are inter national wanted Criminals. Not sure if they replicate the same on here. As this book is now on the app for more than 9 months, have a feeling it'll be another 6 to 9 months before this is completed!...
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...
