Chapter 425
Looking at the message Trevor had sent, Celeste lowered her gaze and replied, “I have nothing to add.”
Trevor responded quickly. “Alright.” 3
After that, neither of them messaged each other again.
Ever since Lauren had been invited to treat Isabelle, she had moved out of the nursing home for easier checkups. She was now staying in a VIP ward at the hospital.
The next morning, Celeste and Betty went to visit Isabelle.
After undergoing treatment for some time, Isabelle still didn’t look particularly well, but at least she wasn’t as gaunt as she had been two weeks earlier.
However, she still couldn’t stand seeing familiar faces–she would become mentally unstable whenever she did.
After visiting her, when Lauren came out of the room, Celeste and Betty asked her about Isabelle’s current condition. They had only spoken for a short while when they saw a group walking toward them–Ruby, Lilian, and Howard.
Celeste’s expression changed slightly.
Why were they here?
Betty’s grip on Celeste’s hand suddenly tightened as well when she saw Howard and Lilian.
Her daughter was just inside that hospital room. Even she herself could barely hold it together at the sight of those people–if Isabelle saw them, she couldn’t even imagine what might happen.
Lilian and Howard, now closer, also saw Celeste and Betty. They were just as surprised to see them here at the VIP ward.
However, before they could dwell on it, their attention was drawn to Lauren.
Ruby widened her eyes and lowered her voice. “Is that Lauren Tindall? What happened with the Rodriguez family? How did they manage to get her to treat them?”
As soon as she said that, they thought of Isabelle–it must be related to her.
But then they remembered that Isabelle’s problem was mental, and Lauren wasn’t a psychiatrist. So, maybe it wasn’t her,
Unless, Isabelle was having physical issues as well.
Lauren hadn’t appeared in public in a long time.
Now that they’d run into her, Ruby and the others were itching to go over and start a conversation.
But they had no personal connection to Lauren, and without a good reason, even saying hello would be awkward.
Lauren, however, had noticed the shift in Celeste and Betty’s expressions when they saw Howard and the others.
She glanced at them briefly, then withdrew her gaze coldly and said to Celeste and Betty, “Her condition is improving. There’s no need to worry too much.”
Both Celeste and Betty were filled with emotion and gratitude. They held Lauren’s hand and said, “Thank you, Dr. Tindall. You’ve worked so hard these past few days.”
Lauren was warm in demeanor. She patted Celeste’s hand and said. “It’s my duty.”
While they were speaking, Howard and the others had already walked past them and stopped about two to three rooms away, where they opened a door and entered.
Lauren still had other matters to attend to. So, she turned and left after saying a few words to her team.

Celeste and Betty watched her leave, then their gazes shifted to the nearby hospital room.
+25 BONUS
They guessed someone in the Locket family or the Shaw family had fallen ill. That was why Howard and the others were also here in the VIP ward area.
If someone in either family really was sick, and Howard and the others started frequenting this part of the hospital, then it was entirely possible that Isabelle might one day run into them. 1
With that thought, and noticing that Betty seemed to be sharing her concern, Celeste couldn’t help but ask a nearby doctor,” Doctor, um… What’s wrong with the patient in Room 1003?” 11
