Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 247

Chapter 247 

A 

Charlene wasn’t surprised to see her and gently ruffled her hair. “You came over right after school?” 

“Yeah!” Jasmine beamed, her eyes lighting up when she saw her. She then called out, “Great–Grandma Helena.” 

Helena acknowledged her with a faint nod just as Thorne emerged from the hospital room. 

He nodded at them as they arrived, but Helena’s expression remained cool, offering no further acknowledgment. 

Charlene glanced at him briefly before turning her attention back to Jasmine, who seemed eager to speak. “Your mom and I are going to see your great–grandma first, okay?” 

“Oh…” 

Jasmine, a bit disappointed but understanding, took Charlene’s hand, ready to go into the room together. 

Thorne took the bouquet and the fruit basket they brought and followed them back into the hospital room. 

Irma’s face lit up with a delighted smile when she saw Charlene and Helena. “What brings you here?” 

Helena, noting Irma’s struggle to sit up, quickly intervened. “Oh, come on, after everything that’s happened, you didn’t think to tell us?” 

Irma’s smile faded slightly. She glanced over at Thorne, who was busy pouring water for Charlene and Helena. “I didn’t have the heart to face you…” 

Charlene and Helena accepted the glasses of water Thorne offered. 

Helena finally spoke up, “This is between them, Irma. You’re not to blame.” 

“But I-” 

With Jasmine present, Irma hesitated to say more. 

Helena patted Irma’s hand reassuringly, “I know everything.” 

After greeting Helena, Irma shifted her focus to Charlene. Jasmine, who hadn’t seen Charlene since the parent–child event at school, was now sticking close to her side and trying to climb onto her lap. 

Charlene set her glass down and lifted Jasmine onto her lap. 

When Helena glanced over, Charlene greeted her, “Grandma.” 

“Yes, dear.” Irma’s face softened with a warm smile. 

With Jasmine there, the conversation steered clear of any issues between Charlene and Thorne. Instead, Helena and Charlene focused on catching up with Irma about her current situation. 

Irma shared the details, and when they learned about her surgery scheduled for the next day, Helena said, “I’ll be here to keep you company.” 

“Thanks, old friend. It means a lot.” 

Having Helena there to chat would boost Irma’s spirits. 

After a bit of talking, Irma suddenly remembered. “You haven’t had dinner, have you? Thorne, why don’t you arrange-” 

“No need,” Helena interjected. “Charlene and I ate before we came.”
