Chapter 246

That night, Thorne decided to stay at the hospital.

The next morning, his mother, Claudia, and friends like Tiffany Henderson started arriving at the hospital one by one. When they found out Thorne had been there all night, they urged him to go home and get some rest. Thorne turned to his grandmother and said, "I'll come back to see you this evening."

Irma didn't respond.

As Thorne left the hospital, he made a phone call.

An hour later, the Hawkins and Spencer families received the surprising news that they were being dropped from the project team. They scrambled to get in touch with Vesta.

"It's Irma's decision," Vesta explained. "She had an accident last night..."

The Spencer and Hawkins families hadn't seen this coming. Garfield Spencer voiced his concern, "So... is Irma also going to demand Thorne break up with you and insist he doesn't divorce Charlene?"
