Jordyn leaned over as well . Seeing Trevor , she said , “ Oh ! It’s Dad ! Mom , let Dad in ! ”
Celeste lowered her eyes . “ Mm . ”
The rest of the Rodriguez family overheard their conversation . They were a bit surprised to learn that Trevor was coming over , but since Jordyn was there , they didn’t ask Celeste why he was here .
A moment later , Trevor arrived
Celeste went out to meet him and asked , “ Are you here to pick my grandmother up to visit the hospital ? ”
“ Yes . ”
Celeste nodded . “ Wait a moment . ”
Trevor replied , “ Alright . ” He remained seated in his car .
About ten minutes later , Betty finally came out of the house .
Seeing this , Trevor got out and opened the car door for her
Jordyn was also getting ready to leave for school and said to Trevor , “ Bye , Dad ! ”
“ Goodbye . ”
After exchanging nods with Celeste and the rest of the Rodriguez family , he got into his car and drove away .
Celeste also got into her car and took Jordyn to school .
At 11:30 am , while Celeste was busy at work , Betty called and said , “ The surgery was a success . ”
Celeste finally felt relieved . She had just put down her phone when a call from Trevor came through . But she didn’t answer .
Shortly after , a message arrived from him . “ We’re going out for lunch later . Want to join ? ”
Celeste didn’t reply . She was sure Trevor would understand exactly what her silence meant .
Sure enough , after that , he didn’t send another message .
But just around noon , Lottie called . “ Cell I just saw your husband – no , future ex – husband – helping your grandmother up the stairs outside a restaurant ! ”
Before Celeste could respond , she continued , “ Wait , don’t tell me you two have already reconciled behind my back ?
“ No. ”
While flipping through a book , Celeste briefly explained that Martha had fallen and been hospitalized . Then she added , “ We visited Grandma , and he’s just being grateful . ”
That was why he had personally come to pick up Betty this morning .
Lottie sounded disappointed . “ So , it’s just that ? ”
“ Yeah . ”

That evening , Celeste worked late . By the time she arrived at the hospital , it was already past 7:00 pm .
Just as she stepped out of her car , she spotted Wynn leaning against the side of another vehicle .
Wynn saw her too . She pursed her lips and looked Celeste up and down coldly but said nothing .
Celeste shut her car door without sparing her another glance and carried the flowers inside .
The VIP floor was quiet .
As soon as she pushed open the hospital room door , she saw Trevor , Beck , and Miles sitting inside . Thinking back to Wynn waiting downstairs , she immediately understood they had likely come together .
As for whether Wynn had already been inside to see Martha , she had no way of knowing .
Noticing her arrival , Miles smirked .
Beck , however , stood up from his chair .
Meanwhile , Trevor walked toward her and said , “ You’re here . ”
Ignoring him , Celeste withdrew her gaze . Only after making eye contact with Martha did she finally smile and say , “ Grandma ”
