“ It’s nothing . ” Wynn smiled , then calmly glanced at her watch and said , “ It’s about time . Let’s go . ” 1
Trevor replied , “ Okay . ”
After briefly greeting everyone in the meeting room , he turned and left with Wynn .
Celeste , meanwhile , continued working with the engineers .

Celeste had been worrying about Betty’s health . So , she had been saying at the Rodriguez residence ever since Isabelle’s medical checkup .
That night , after finishing work at Fleming Group , Celeste returned to the Rodriguez residence for dinner .
Just after she finished eating , her phone lit up with a
It was from Caleb . “ I’m heading back to base tomorrow . ”
Celeste read the message but didn’t reply .
message
Perhaps anticipating her silence , Caleb sent another message a moment later . “ See you in a month . ”
This was his way of telling her that he would start
pursuing her officially once she got divorced . ( 5
Celeste understood what he meant , but still didn’t reply .
She set her phone down and was about to flip through the book on the table when it rang again .
This time , it was a call from Martha .
As soon as Celeste answered , the old lady’s voice came through the phone . “ Cel , I already heard about Isabelle . This is such a serious matter . How could you and Betty not say a word to me ? ”
Celeste paused , unsure how to respond .
Martha pressed anxiously , “ I heard from Wilma that deteriorated . How is she now ? ” 3
Since Betty found out about Isabelle’s condition , her health
“ She’s been a little better these past two days – her spirits are improving . ”
Martha let out a sigh of relief . “ That’s good , that’s good . ” Then she quickly added , “ Don’t worry , Cel . I’ll help with Isabelle’s case . I’ll find the best doctors for her . ”
“ Thank you , Grandma , ” Celeste replied . “ But I’ve already asked someone to contact a leading expert in this field . They’ll be arriving tomorrow to assess my mother’s condition personally . ”
“ Oh ? That’s good . Let’s see what they say . ”
“ Yeah . ”
After that , Martha fell silent for a moment , clearly troubled . “ Your mother really is … ”
… So unfortunate .
Celeste understood what she meant , even if she didn’t finish the sentence .
But before she could respond , Martha quickly tried to comfort her , afraid of upsetting her even more .
“ Wilma told me that if Isabelle’s condition can be controlled properly , there’s still hope . Cel , try not to worry too much , alright ? ”
“ Mm , I know . ”

They chatted for a while longer before ending the call .
After hanging up , Martha still felt upset and sorry for Celeste , so she couldn’t help but call Trevor .
He picked up quickly . “ Grandma ? ”
“ You ! You really are … ”
Trevor could tell she was angry . But since he hadn’t done anything to upset her lately , he asked , “What’s wrong ? ”
“ Nothing , ” she said . “ I was in a bad mood and called just to yell at you a bit . ”
Trevor raised an eyebrow . “ Oh ? ”
Even though Martha wanted to scold him , once the call connected she wasn’t sure what to say . She let out a “ hmph ” and then hung up .
After he put down his phone , Jordyn , who was eating nearby , asked , “ Nana called ? Did something happen ? ”
“ Your Nana was in a bad mood and called to yell at me to let off some steam , ” Trevor replied .
Wynn , sitting nearby , laughed and safd , “ She probably just misses you . ”
Trevor said , “ I doubt it . She gets annoyed every time she sees me .
The next day , when Celeste and Betty arrived at the hospital , Martha was already there .
The specialists had also arrived right on time .
Leading the team was an elderly lady who was even older than both Martha and Betty .
“ Is that … Dr. Tindall ? ”
Lauren Tindall was one of the world’s top experts in treating organ failure .
She had retired years ago , and not just anyone could hire her .
Even people with power and influence found it almost impossible to reach her .
Most of the top specialists in the country in this field were once her students .
When Celeste said she had arranged for experts to come , Martha had never expected that expert to be her .
To be honest , seeing her here truly shocked Martha .
