HappyNovelThe Ross family.
Charlene had already discussed auctioning the diamond with Helena Ross before heading out to the auction
itself.
When Helena finally saw the dazzling stone Charlene had spent a fortune on, she stared at it in silence for a long
tbefore she spoke. "Your mother always did love diamonds," Helena said quietly. "But if the diamond really
has any effect, it could just as easily bring her clarity as it could push her deeper into... madness. So, Charlene,
keep it safe for now. As for using it to help your mother-let's wait a while and see how things go."
Charlene had considered that possibility herself.
She agreed with her grandmother's caution.
Still, a diamond this rare might not cup for auction again anytsoon. And since money wasn't an issue
for her at the moment, she bought it anyway, even if it ended up sitting unused for now.
She nodded at her grandmother's words. "Alright."
Charlene hadn't gone to visit Irma at the hospital for the past couple of days.
The next morning, she went again.
She arrived pretty early, but when she got to the hospital, Thorne and Moran were already there. The
housekeeper, however, was nowhere in sight.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen she knocked and entered, both Thorne and Moran looked up at her.
Charlene gave Thorne a brief nod in greeting, then walked straight past them into Irma's room.
Moran glared, clearly annoyed at being ignored. She turned to Thorne and muttered, "She really doesn't care
about anyone these days, does she?"
Thorne sat down and replied with an indifferent, "Mm. And?"
Moran fell silent, at a loss for words.
A little while later, Charlene cout of the hospital room. She didn't leave right away but turned to Thorne and
asked, "How's Grandma doing these past couple of days?"
Thorne poured a glass of water and walked over, offering it to her. Charlene shook her head, declining the drink.
Thorne didn't push, just set the glass down and answered, "She's improved a bit. The doctor says, at this rate,
she might wake up in a few days."
"Alright. That's good to hear."
With that, Charlene turned to leave without saying anything more.
Just then, Thorne spoke up. "Minnie's gone to training. She'll be back tomorrow."
Charlene honestly had little interest in Jasmine's whereabouts.
But with Moran standing nearby, eyes darting back and forth between her and Thorne with a look that screamed
gossip, Charlene kept her thoughts to herself.
She just replied, "Got it," and walked out without looking back.
Moran watched her leave, only pulling his gaze away when she disappeared from sight. He turned to Thorne and
said, "You know, ever since you two decided to get divorced, your relationship's actually gotten a lot better."
Thorne didn't look up from his laptop, just gave a noncommittal, "Is that so?"
Usually, when couples split, things get ugly fast.
This was... unusual.
But Moran didn't say that out loud.
