Chapter 508

Only now did Charlene realize the real reason Thorne had rushed off yesterday— it was all because of Vesta.

She had known for a long time, and had long since grown used to how much Thorne cared about Vesta.

She also knew that Leah was making a point of saying these things just for her benefit.

Expressionless, Charlene brushed past Leah and the others, stepping into the elevator ahead of them.

When they saw the floor Charlene selected, it finally dawned on Leah and Georgina-Charlene was there to visit Irma at the hospital.

They all knew Irma was unwell.

Although none of them had managed to visit Irma in person, they were well aware she was a patient at this very hospital.

They just didn't know exactly which room Irma was in. In fact, they'd gone out of their way last night to discreetly ask around for her room number.

So, when they saw which button Charlene pressed, they immediately understood: Charlene was here to see Irma.

Neither the Spencer family nor the Hawkins family had actually met Irma yet.

They might have managed to dig up her room number, but they'd been careful to keep their distance; the last thing they wanted was to offend Irma by barging in uninvited.

But seeing Charlene-someone they'd longed to meet but never had the chance, someone completely at ease walking into Irma's room-made Maureen and Georgina bristle with resentment.
