Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time

Chapter 530

Charlene checked her temperature, then forced herself to stay awake for a while, hoping Thorne would return. But exhaustion soon got the better of her, and she drifted off to sleep.

When she woke again, sunlight slanting across the room, Thorne was still there, quietly reading in his chair.

She stared at him in a daze, not quite focusing, until Thorne noticed her and put down his book. He walked over and gently pressed his hand to her damp forehead. "How are you feeling?" he asked.

It had been a long time since they'd shared this kind of closeness.

Charlene tensed at the touch, unused to his hands on her, even though she knew he was only checking her temperature. She brushed his hand away and shook her head, saying nothing.

She was just surprised he was still there.

She'd assumed that after taking that phone call earlier, he would have left the house.

A fresh wave of sweat broke out across her skin, but finally, the fever began to fade. Feeling clammy and uncomfortable, she changed into clean clothes, ate a small meal, and then lay down to rest again.
