Chapter 63
When Matthias noticed what had happened , he immediately paused his conversation with Yale and walked over to
Celeste .
“ Are you okay ? ”
Celeste shook her head .
“ Did you twist your ankle ? ”
“ A little , ” she admitted . Her ankle was indeed aching . It was likely sprained .
Seeing Matthias ‘ concern warmed her heart , but it also left her feeling a tinge of sadness .
She was well aware of the looks people were giving her . They probably thought she had intentionally thrown herself into Trevor’s arms . Even now , seeing that she was injured , they likely believed she deserved it.
As for Trevor , he hadn’t even offered to steady her properly , let alone ask if she was alright after the fall .
The only person genuinely concerned for her here was Matthias .
“ Let me take a look . ”
“ No need- ”
There were so many people around .
Ignoring her protests , Matthias scooped her up effortlessly . After carrying her away from the crowd , he set her down and knelt to inspect her ankle . Removing her high heels , he gently lifted her leg and saw that her ankle was indeed swollen .
He immediately instructed the staff to call a doctor and to bring her a pair of flat shoes .
His open concem for Celeste caught many off guard , surprising them with how little he cared about appearances . For a moment , some of the onlookers reconsidered their assumptions . Perhaps they had jumped to conclusions earlier . Celeste and Matthias seemed to share a genuine connection .
Wynn pressed her lips together and shifted her gaze away .
Then , she glanced at Trevor .
Trevor had clearly noticed the close interaction between Celeste and Matthias , but he remained completely unbothered . He continued his conversation as if nothing had happened . He seemed entirely indifferent to their closeness .
Seeing this , Wynn’s previously tense expression relaxed , and she smiled as she rejoined the group’s chatter . She stopped paying attention to Celeste .
Not long after , the restaurant’s on – call doctor arrived and examined Celeste , then prescribed some medication for her injury .
After the doctor left , Matthias personally applied the medicine to her ankle .
Celeste reached out to do it herself , but Matthias shot her a stern look .
Reluctantly , she raised her hands in surrender and let him hand it .
Once the medication was applied , the staff returned with the flat shoe .

Celeste stood up to test them . “ It’s fine . Lean walk . ”
“ Good , ” Matthias replied .
However , with her injury , walking around the exhibition hall wasn’t practical . Matthias decided it was best for her to skip the rest of the event . After all , he had already arranged for someone to record the exhibits , and she could review the footage later .
Though she felt it was a pity , there wasn’t mich else she could do .
Matthias informed the others , then left early to take Celeste home .
After they departed , the rest of the group gradually dispersed as well .
Once Matthias dropped her off , he headed off to attend to other matters .
Celeste , having been busy all day , was both physically and mentally drained . She planned to rest for a bit before discussing the assignments Mr. Newman had given them once Matthias finished his work
Setting her phone aside , she was just about to lie down when it rang .
She picked it up and saw an unfamiliar number .
After a moment of hesitation , she answered . “ Hello , who’s this ? ”
“ It’s Beck Harper , ” the voice on the other end said .
Celeste froze , then quickly sat up on her bed . “ Mr. Harper ?
To be honest , her day had been so hectic that she had completely forgotten about the morning’s events until Beck called her .
“ I’ve already arranged for your car to be taken care of , ” Beck said . “ You can come pick it up
later . ”
Before Celeste could respond , he added , “ If you’re busy , I can have someone drive it back for you . ”
