Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 894

Stewart also recognized Thorne's number.

He scoffed. "What does he want? Is he calling to ask you to beg Axiom Flux Technologies for mercy on behalf of the Hawkins family? Is he really that much of a coward?"

Charlene didn't say a word. She answered the call, and before she could speak, Thorne's voice came through the line. "Jasmine has been running a fever all day. If you have time tonight, could you come check on her?"

Charlene frowned, her voice tight with immediate concern. "She's been burning up for that long? How is she right now?"

"She's still on an IV drip. Her temperature hasn't come down yet."

"Got it. I'll head over a bit later."

"Thank you."

Charlene stayed silent and ended the call. After quickly wrapping up her pending tasks, she left PrimeStar Technologies.

When she arrived at the Henderson residence, the Butler hurried out to greet her, looking relieved. "Charlene, you're here."

"I'm going upstairs to check on Jasmine," Charlene said, already moving past him.

Upstairs, Jasmine had just finished her IV drip and was drifting in a feverish sleep. Charlene walked into the room, her heart aching as she looked at her daughter's furrowed brow. She sat on the edge of the bed and gently pressed her hand against Jasmine's forehead.

The Butler stepped into the room, speaking in a hushed tone. "Her temperature has dropped quite a bit, but the doctor warned she might spike a fever again."

Charlene nodded. At that moment, Jasmine's eyelashes fluttered. She opened her eyes, blinking in confusion when she saw Charlene. "Mom?"

"Yeah, it's me." Seeing her daughter look so weak and drained, Charlene kept her voice soft and soothing. "Are you thirsty? Or hungry? Do you want a little something to eat?"

Jasmine didn't have much energy. She shook her head, her eyes drooping as if she were about to fall back asleep. But then, as if suddenly remembering something, her eyes snapped open again. "Did Dad tell you I was sick?"

"He did," Charlene replied quietly.
