Seeing Trevor reach out, Celeste had no choice but to hand him the flowers she was holding
She didn’t look at Miles or Beck and instead walled straight to the bedside, asking Martha, “How are you feeling now?”
“Still a little sore, but it’s alright,” Martha said.
she was a
Having just undergone surgery not long ago, she was already feeling a bit fatigued.
She reached out to hold Celeste’s hand and said, “You’ve been working all day–are you tired? Have you eaten? Why don’t you join Trevor and the others for dinner later?”
Celeste replied, “It’s fine, Grandma. I ate at the office before coming over.
”
Seeing that Celeste was still maintaining her distance from Trevor, Martha paused and didn’t insist any further.
Celeste chatted with her for a little while longer. When Martha began to feel tired and wanted to rest, Celeste prepared to leave.
Martha asked Trevor to walk her out. Since he and the others were about to go for dinner anyway, she left with them.
Inside the elevator, Miles kept staring at her curiously. Celeste turned her head and shot him a cold glance. “Have you seen enough?”
Miles shot back, “Almost.”
Celeste ignored him.
When the elevator doors opened, she was the first to step out. Trevor and the other two followed behind her.
Noticing that she was keeping a few steps‘ distance from them, Miles leaned toward Trevor and lowered his voice, “Her attitude toward you has really changed a lot. Has she really moved on? But, why do I find that hard to believe?
Trevor looked at Celeste’s back without responding
Beck hadn’t caught what they were saying and asked, “What are you two talking about?”
Miles repeated his question to him.
Beck reacted the same way as Trevor–both simply looked at Celeste’s back without commenting.
As they reached the hospital entrance, Trevor suddenly said “Io is still at the Rodriguez residence.”
Celeste’s steps faltered for a moment, but she didn’t say anything and continued walking toward the parking lot.
Then, she noticed that Wynn was still there.
Seeing them come out, Wynn stepped toward them.
Celeste, however, walked straight to her car, while Trevor, Beck, and Miles all headed toward Wynn instead.
Celeste got into her car and drove away without paying any attention to the four of them. She drove back to the Rodriguez residence..

Celeste closed the door, shutting out the cold air from outside. As she took off her coat, she responded, “Mm.”
Jordyn put down her tablet, ran over, and hugged her leg. “Mom, Dad said I can stay with you for the next couple of days! After we visit Nana at the hospital tomorrow morning, can we go skiing?”
Before Celeste could reply, Jamie and Hector chimed in, “Yeah, Celestel Let’s all go together.”
Celeste answered, “Alright.”
Jordyn cheered happily. “I’m going to call Dad and tell him! With that, she grabbed her phone and dialed Trevor.
Celeste didn’t listen to their conversation and simply turned around to head upstairs.
The next morning, when she arrived at the hospital, Wynn was not there. However, it seemed like Trevor had moved his work to the hospital.
When Celeste and Jordyn walked in, he was busy handling documents.
“Dad!” Jordyn called out.
Before Trevor could respond, she noticed that the nearby table was filled with all sorts of fruit, pastries, and drinks that were popular among young people and children
