Divorce Time 317

Chapter 317

It was a typical afternoon when Charlene was deep in the middle of a meeting. Just as she was about to make an important point, her phone buzzed. It was Jasmine calling again. Without a second thought, Charlene hit the decline button.

Not a minute passed before Jasmine's name flashed on the screen again. Charlene frowned, her attention momentarily wavering, but she ignored the call once more. This time, Jasmine didn't call back.

Charlene refocused on the meeting. Several minutes later, her phone buzzed yet again.

This time, it was Thorne.

Charlene pressed her lips together, feeling her patience thinning, and promptly turned her phone off.

An hour later, the meeting finally wrapped up. Charlene powered her phone back on, only to be greeted with a message from Thorne.

"Minnie fell down the stairs at school and is in the hospital."

Charlene was momentarily paralyzed, her mind going blank. Panic surged through her as she grabbed her bag and bolted from the office, heading straight to the hospital.
