Having just undergone surgery not long ago , she was already feeling a bit fatigued .
She reached out to hold Celeste’s hand and said , “ You’ve been working all day – are you tired ? Have you eaten ? Why don’t you join Trevor and the others for dinner later ? ”
Celeste replied , “ It’s fine , Grandma . I ate at the office before coming over .
”

Miles shot back , “ Almost . ”
Celeste ignored him.

Jordyn put down her tablet , ran over , and hugged her leg . “ Mom , Dad said I can stay with you for the next couple of days ! After we visit Nana at the hospital tomorrow morning , can we go skiing ? ”
Before Celeste could reply , Jamie and Hector chimed in , “ Yeah , Celestel Let’s all go together . ”
Celeste answered , “ Alright . ”
Jordyn cheered happily . “ I’m going to call Dad and tell him ! With that , she grabbed her phone and dialed Trevor .
Celeste didn’t listen to their conversation and simply turned around to head upstairs .
The next morning , when she arrived at the hospital , Wynn was not there . However , it seemed like Trevor had moved his work to the hospital .

“ Dad ! ” Jordyn called out .
