Celeste wasn’t surprised to see Jordyn at the hospital . She reached out and patted her head . “ Came over after school ? ”
“ Mm ! ” Jordyn was delighted to see her . She then called out to Martha , “ Nana . ”
Just as Martha responded , Trevor walked out of the hospital room .
Seeing them , he nodded slightly in greeting .
Betty’s expression remained indifferent , and she didn’t say anything .
Celeste only glanced at him briefly before looking away .
Seeing that Jordyn seemed to have something to say to her , Celeste said , “ Granny and I will go in first to see your Nana . ”
“ Oh … ” Hearing this , Jordyn reluctantly suppressed her urge to talk
She reached out to hold Celeste’s hand and followed her into the hospital room .
Trevor took the flowers and fruit basket they had brought and followed behind them into the room .
When Martha saw Celeste and Betty , she was pleasantly surprised and smiled . “ What brings you two here ? ”
Seeing her struggling to sit up despite the pain , Betty quickly stopped her and said , “ How can you say that ? Something this serious happened , and you didn’t even tell us . ”
Hearing this , Martha’s smile faded slightly . She glanced at Trevor , who was personally pouring water for Celeste and Betty , and said , “ I can’t face you …. ‘
Celeste and Betty accepted the cups of water Trevor handed them .
Betty then said , “ This is between them . How can we blame you ? ”
“ But I ” Noticing that Jordyn was present , Martha refrained from saying too much .
Betty patted the back of her hand . “ I know . ”
After exchanging a few pleasantries , Martha turned her attention to Celeste .
Since the last parent – child event at school , Jordyn hadn’t seen Celeste again . So , now , she clung to Celeste , even squeezing between her legs , trying to climb onto her lap .
Celeste had no choice but to put down her cup and lift her onto her lap .
Seeing Betty looking over , Celeste softly called , “ Granny . ”
“ Oh ! ” Betty’s face lit up with a smile .
Since Jordyn was there , they avoided discussing anything related to Celeste and Trevor . Most of the conversation revolved around Martha’s condition .
Martba explained everything in detail . When Betty learned that her surgery was scheduled for the next day , she said , “ I’ll come keep you company tomorrow . ”
“ That would be a great help , my dear friend . ”
With Betty there to chat , she would feel more at ease .

After talking for a while , Martha suddenly remembered something . “ You two haven’t eaten yet , have you ? Trevor , make some arrangements-
“ No need . ” Betty interrupted her . “ Celeste and I already had dinner before coming . ”
After saying that , she coolly told Trevor , “ If you and Jordyn haven’t eaten yet , go ahead and get something . ”
Jordyn hadn’t had a meal with Celeste in a long time . Hearing this , she clung to Celeste’s neck and pleaded , Mom , I miss you so much . Come eat with us , okay ? ”
Thinking about everything she had seen the night before , Celeste lowered her gaze and gave a faint smile .
She gently declined her request . “ I’ve been working all day and am too tired to walk around . You two go ahead . ”
With that , Jordyn couldn’t insist any further . However , as she nestled in Celeste’s arms , breathing in her familiar scent , she was reluctant to let go .
