Celeste said , “ I have to go to work now . Your granny isn’t feeling well these days and needs rest . Once she’s feeling better , you can go visit her . ”
Although Betty had never truly blamed Jordyn for being close to Wynn , ever since learning that Isabelle’s health had also started deteriorating , it felt like half her spirit had been drained .
If she were to see Jordyn now and be reminded of how close she had gotten to Wynn , it would probably only worsen her mood .
When Jordyn heard that Betty was sick , she looked genninely concerned . “ Huh ? Granny is sick ? Is it serious ? Mom , why didn’t you tell me ? ”
Celeste paused for two seconds before replying , “ I didn’t want you to worry , that’s why I didn’t tell you . ”
She then gently pried off Jordyn’s hands , which were wrapped around her . “ It’s getting late . I have other things to take care of . You need to take good care of yourself . ”
Jordyn didn’t want her to go , but seeing how busy Celeste seemed , she reluctantly let go . But as soon as she did , she felt upset again
“ Mom , why are you so busy all the time now ? You’re even busier than Dad . When will you have time for me ? ”
“ I’m not sure either . ”
As she said that , Celeste remembered that the divorce was about to be finalized . She thought it was time to stop hiding it from Jordyn . However … ( 1
If Trevor intended to marry Wynn after the divorce , he’d surely find a way to tell Jordyn himself .
So there was no need for her to bring it
up directly .
Jordyn looked down sadly . “ … Alright . Mom , you always say that lately. ”
Celeste knew that too . It was the best excuse she could give .
With that , she said again , “ I’m leaving now . ”
“ Okay . ”
Just as Celeste gave Jordyn one last look and
about to turn to leave , she saw Wynn walking out from the restroom area .
Jordyn and Trevor were standing in the lobby – clearly waiting for someone .
And obviously , that someone was Wynn .
Wynn didn’t seem to expect to run into Celeste either . When she saw her , she paused and gave her a cold glance .
Expressionless , Celeste looked away without saying a word and turned to leave .
Jordyn didn’t notice Wynn coming out of the restroom . Seeing that Celeste was leaving , she clung to her mother’s hand again , looking up at her with big , pitiful eyes full of reluctance .
Celeste could feel how much she didn’t want to let go , but she still gently pulled her hand away . “ Goodbye . ”
Seeing that Celeste was determined to leave , Jordyn finally withdrew her hand and wilted a little . “ Mm , goodbye , Mom . ”
Standing at the side , Trevor watched how reluctant Jordyn was to let Celeste go , but he didn’t try to stop her from leaving .
So , Celeste left .
A
Jordyn watched her mother’s retreating figure , unwilling to look away .
Only after Celeste had disappeared into the distance did Wynn finally walk over and ruffle Jordyn’s hair .

Then she turned to Trevor , who hadn’t said much the whole time
Trevor said , “ Alright . ”
It was then that Jordyn looked away and said listlessly to Trevor ,
Trevor replied , “ Alright , then we’ll eat at home . ”
With that , the three of them left the hospital together .
