Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 896

Thorne took the bowl from Charlene. After feeding Jasmine a couple of spoonfuls of soup, he glanced up. "The kitchen probably prepared some other food. You should head downstairs and grab something to eat."

Charlene honestly wasn't hungry at all.

However, she and Thorne had absolutely nothing to say to each other. For Jasmine's sake, it was probably best to avoid lingering in the same space and suffocating the room with their awkward tension.

She nodded, turning her gaze back to the little girl. "I'm going to run downstairs for a quick bite," she told Jasmine softly. "I'll come right back up when I'm done."

Jasmine nodded obediently. "Okay."

Without another word, Charlene turned and walked out, heading down the stairs.

Jasmine kept her eyes on the doorway until Charlene's figure completely vanished from sight. The moment her mother was gone, the sweet smile dropped from her face, replaced by a cold stare as she looked up at Thorne.

Sensing she had something on her mind, Thorne gently wiped a drop of soup from the corner of her mouth. "What do you want to say?"

Jasmine pressed her tiny lips together, her hands gripping the edges of her blanket. But in the end, she swallowed whatever she had been thinking and went back to eating in stubborn silence.

Since she didn't speak, Thorne didn't press the issue.

A little while after she finished her meal, Thorne checked her temperature again. Just then, Charlene walked back up the stairs. Spotting her in the doorway, Thorne looked over and offered an update. "No new spike. The fever seems to have completely broken."

Charlene nodded in acknowledgment.

Thorne then called for the family doctor to come in and give Jasmine a thorough examination.

The doctor confirmed that Jasmine was indeed out of the woods, but advised them to keep a close eye on her for the rest of the night, just to be safe.

Having sweated so much earlier, Jasmine was feeling gross and uncomfortable. She looked at Charlene pleadingly. "Mom, I want to take a shower."

"Your fever just broke," Charlene said gently but firmly. "It's not a good idea to shower right now. We'll do it tomorrow."

"Oh..."
