Chapter 227
As soon as Trevor and Jordyn returned to the villa , Trevor’s phone rang .
So , he answered the call .
A moment later , he put his phone away , slipped back into the coat he had just taken off , and told Jordyn , who was walking upstairs with him , “ Your Nama accidentally fell and got injured . She’s been taken to the hospital . I’m heading over now . You should get some rest early . ”
Jordyn said worriedly , “ I want to go see Nana too-
“ You have school tomorrow . You can visit after class . ”
“ Alright then … ” Jordyn said .
Trevor turned and left .
Just then , Jordyn’s phone chimed . She quickly picked it up and checked .
Seeing that it was just a spam message , she pouted in disappointment .
On the way back , she had tried calling Celeste , wanting to ask if the person she saw at the mall was really her. But she didn’t answer .
When she got a message just now , she thought for a moment that it might be from Celeste . But , it wasn’t .
Still , thinking about it , if Celeste really had time to go shopping on Christmas , she definitely would have invited her along ,
So , she must have been mistaker .
One hour later , at Baumond Orthopedic Hospital , Trevor spoke with the doctors about the situation .
Martha had suffered a fracture in her upper thigh , requiring surgery to

They needed to monitor her condition first and ensure she was stable before proceeding .
Most of the Fleming family members were currently out of town .
Aside from Trevor , the only ones present at the hospital were Peter and Samantha Russell , the maid who usually took care of Martha’s daily needs .
As for the other family members , Peter had already informed them one by one .
Seeing Trevor arrive , Peter quickly got up to greet him .
Martha was lying on her side . When she saw him approach , she closed her eyes and ignored him .
Trevor pulled up a chair and sat beside her . “ Still angry ? ”
He was referring to the recent project he had launched at Fleming Group , specifically for the Lockets and the Shaws . Ever since then , Martha never answered his calls .
She remained silent .
After a moment of silence , Trevor asked , “ What do you want me to do ? ”

Martha finally opened her eyes . “ Don’t you know ? ”
Of course , Trevor knew . He responded indifferently , “ I understand . I’ll take care of it tomorrow . ”
By that , he naturally meant cutting ties with the Lockets and the Shaws , removing them from Fleming Group , and reclaiming the projects they had been given .
“ And ? ”
Trevor knew exactly what she was referring to . His brows furrowed , “ Grandma … ”
Martha closed her eyes again .
Trevor didn’t say anything further .
After a while , Martha said , “ You should go . ”
But Trevor didn’t leave . Instead , he adjusted her blanket to make sure she was comfortable .
A little while later , the doctor came in to update him on Martha’s condition , informing him that the surgery could be scheduled for the day after tomorrow .
The bone replacement surgery carried a relatively low risk . If everything went according to plan , she would be able to walk with the aid of a walker within a month .
After the doctor left , in the corridor outside , Peter glanced at Martha’s figure in the hospital bed and said , “ Mrs. Fleming Senior actually really wants to see Mrs. Fleming , but she won’t let me call her . ”
What Martha meant was that she felt guilty toward Celeste. Now that she was injured , how could she ask her to visit ?
Trevor said , “ I understand . ”
Peter said nothing more and returned to the hospital room .
