Chapter 546

After Thorne finished explaining his reasons to Stewart and exchanged a few pleasantries, he left with Vesta.

Charlene watched quietly, not saying a single word the entire time.

Georgina's injuries weren't life-threatening, but her arm had sustained a severe fracture. She'd need to be kept in the hospital for a couple of days before they could schedule surgery.

Seeing that the old lady was out of danger-and that Thorne had arranged the best orthopedic team for Georgina-the Spencers finally felt at ease.

Georgina wouldn't be waking up for a while yet. Henley turned to Thorne. "Thank you for everything today. It's getting late, and Vesta mentioned you have a flight tomorrow. Why don't you head home and get some rest?"

Thorne didn't insist. "Alright, I'll get going then."

Henley seemed to have something more to discuss with him. "Let me walk you out."

Thorne seemed to catch his meaning and smiled. "Thanks, I appreciate it."

Once Henley and Thorne stepped out, Rhoda couldn't help but laugh. "Thorne really has done so much for Vesta and our family."

Leah nodded in agreement. "Absolutely. Honestly, we owe a lot to Vesta."

Hearing this, Vesta managed a faint smile but stayed silent.

On the surface, Thorne still treated her much as he always had. But there was no denying that he'd started paying a lot more attention to Charlene lately.

She couldn't help but wonder how long Thorne's kindness toward her would last.

Thinking of Charlene brought another important matter to mind.
