Celeste remained silent .
She sneezed again after hanging up the call .
Adeline was worried Celeste might have a cold . Hence , she cooked chicken soup for Celeste . After drinking it , she felt her head getting heavier , and before long , she was fast asleep .
Celeste then realized she had a fever after waking up .
Moreover , she was running a high fever , and her head felt all woozy .
Jordyn approached her , looking worried . “ Are you sick , Mom ? ”
Celeste murmured a response .
Martha was worried about her as well . She suggested bringing Celeste back to Fleming Manor to see their family doctor , Bill , who would help her recover quickly .
Betty , too , thought that the illness had hit Celeste too suddenly , so she urged Celeste to go back with Martha to see Bill .
Soon , they arrived at Fleming Manor . Bill came over and gave Celeste some medication . After taking the medicine , Celeste headed upstairs and quickly dozed off again .
When she woke up , she felt a lot less sluggish .
She opened her eyes , only to realize the small lamp beside her was on . Turning around , she saw Trevor sitting there , reading .
She was stunned for a brief moment .
It then dawned on her that she was at Fleming Manor , in Trevor’s room , the place where he had spent his childhood .
Hearing a sound , Trevor turned and asked , “ You’re awake ?
With her throat sore and her mood low , Celeste didn’t feel like speaking , so she kept silent .
She put on a jacket , wanting to get out of bed . Just then , Trevor handed her a glass of water .
Celeste paused briefly , then took it after a couple of seconds without a word of thanks .
Trevor just shrugged it off . He extended his hand to her forehead . Even with a foggy mind , she wasn’t slow , and she dodged his hand in time .
Trevor hesitated , pulled back his hand , and got up . “ Bill is still downstairs . I’ll go get him for you . ”
Without a reply from her, he went straight downstairs .
Moments later , Bill , Martha , Trevor , and Jordyn all came to her room .
Bill assessed Celeste’s condition and said she was recovering well , though she still had to keep taking her
medicine . He explained that her body was weak , and stress made her prone to falling ill when exposed to cold . weather . A good nutritional boost would help her regain her strength .
Celeste nodded .
“ Are you hungry , Cel ? ” Martha asked .

Celeste wasn’t feeling great at noon , so she hardly ate and went straight to bed .
It was getting late , and while she felt hungry , she had little appetite .
Martha convinced her to have a few bites . Hence , she asked Trevor to go to the kitchen and get Celeste the dinner they had prepared for her .
With that , Trevor went downstairs again .
Then , he came back up with a tray of food .
Martha and Bill left .
Trevor , however , stayed in the room . While Celeste was having her dinner , he was reading .
Celeste cast him a glance and realized he was reading the book she had read in the hot spring retreat .
It wasn’t until now that she realized he still had her book .
She furrowed her brows . “ You … ”
Trevor replied with a smile , “ I spent about half an hour reading it that day and found some of your ideas really interesting . They gave me some new perspectives , so I kept the book , and I skim through it occasionally . ”
Celeste bit her lip , ignoring him .
She didn’t have much of an appetite before , and now it was completely gone .
Trevor propped his chin up and observed her . “ Even after all these years , you still don’t know how to fight back ?
Celeste turned away .
He sighed . “ Alright , I’ll leave you alone . Eat up.
