As the family elder, Vernon Ross was the first to speak. "Thank you for bringing Minnie. You've both been standing for a long time; you should go home and rest."
Before Thorne could reply, Jasmine wrapped her arms around Charlene's legs. "I don't want to go home, Mommy. I want to stay here with you."
Helena's condition had been touch-and-go, and for a while, the family had feared the worst. Jasmine must have sensed her mother's anxiety and wanted to offer comfort.
Charlene looked down at Jasmine's upturned face, her expression softening. She gently stroked her daughter's cheek. "Mommy has to stay at the hospital to take care of your great-grandmother, so I won't be able to look after you properly. Why don't you go home with Daddy for now?"
"Okay. I'll come visit you and Great-Grandma tomorrow then."
"That's a good idea," Charlene agreed.
She then looked at Thorne. "Take Minnie home."
Thorne didn't argue. He only asked, "Should we tell Grandma?"
Charlene shook her head slightly. With Helena's condition still fragile, telling Irma Henderson now would only cause her unnecessary worry.
Thorne understood. He gave Vernon a nod, took Jasmine's hand, and left.
Helena's situation remained precarious. After a long discussion with the doctors to fully understand her condition, Charlene called Malvina.
Malvina was busy and didn't see the missed call for half an hour. She called back immediately. "I'll get in touch with a few specialists for your grandmother. Don't worry, Charlene. She's going to be fine."
Shortly after Charlene hung up, a team of doctors arrived at the hospital, requesting to review her grandmother's case.
Charlene was stunned by how quickly they had come. As she was thanking them, two more specialists arrived—renowned experts in pulmonology and geriatrics. They had also been called in to consult on Helena's condition.
Malvina, knowing of the close friendship between Helena and Irma, assumed Thorne had acted out of respect for his grandmother. She didn't press the matter and, after a few more words of encouragement, ended the call.
Though Charlene was certain Thorne had only helped because of Irma, she still sent him a text message after her call with Malvina.
[Dr. Lindy and the others have arrived. Thank you.]
His reply came almost instantly.
[You're welcome.]
Charlene put her phone away. No more messages came through.

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...
