Thanks to the fact that Sybil’s illness was still in its early stages and her organs hadn’t deteriorated too badly, Quintin and his team were able to make several adjustments to her treatment plan based on her overall condition. In the end, they finally found a way to stabilize Sybil’s health.
The moment the news came through, the tension that had gripped Charlene, Helena, and the rest of the Ross family for over two weeks finally eased. It was as if a heavy cloud that had hung over their home had finally lifted.
That evening, Helena—overwhelmed with relief and joy—insisted on cooking a celebratory dinner herself.
After the meal, Charlene had just settled in the living room with her mother when her phone buzzed. Jasmine was calling.
It had actually been more than a month since Charlene and her daughter had last spoken.
The last time Jasmine had called, Charlene should have answered. But that had been right after Sybil’s organ failure was discovered; Charlene had been in no mood to talk, so she’d let the call go unanswered.
Now…
Seeing Jasmine’s name flash across the screen, Helena gently said, “Go ahead and answer it.”
Helena knew Jasmine was close to Vesta. Even if she tried to pretend it didn’t matter, she couldn’t help but care.
Helena hadn’t seen Jasmine around lately, and she suspected it was because Charlene was worried that seeing Jasmine would only make her already fragile state even worse. While Helena had never truly blamed Jasmine for her closeness with Vesta, she knew that if Jasmine had shown up during those difficult days, it might have pushed her to the brink.
But now, with Sybil’s health improving, Helena genuinely hoped that Charlene and Jasmine could reunite as mother and daughter.
Charlene stared at Jasmine’s name for a few seconds before finally picking up.
When Charlene hadn’t answered her call previously, Jasmine had thought about trying again in a few days. Ordinarily, her father always encouraged her to call her mom whenever she missed her, but this time, he’d gently suggested that her mom was dealing with a lot and needed some space, so Jasmine had tried to be patient.
Still, it had been so long since she’d seen her mother—or even heard her voice.
“He’ll definitely say yes!” Jasmine blurted out, not even waiting for her mother to finish. “I’ll go pack my bag right now, Mom, wait for me!”
Before Charlene could say another word, Jasmine had already hung up. She turned excitedly to Thorne, who was sitting nearby reading. “Mom said I can go see her!”
Thorne finished the page before looking up from his book. “I heard. Do you need me to drive you?”
“No need!” Jasmine declared, grabbing Latonia’s hand and dragging her upstairs to help pack.
Just a few minutes later, Jasmine was back downstairs with her backpack slung over her shoulder. She didn’t even pause as she hurried past her father, waving as she ran for the door. “Dad, I’m leaving now!”
Thorne looked up and watched her small figure disappear down the hall. “Take care on the way. And good night.”
“Good night!” Jasmine called, her voice already drifting out the door.

The readers' comments on the novel: Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne)
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...
We're stuck at this chapter for over 2wks now Very annoying Thorne and vesta having the tune of their lives while Charlene is stuck More annoying...
