Lauren knew Martha as well .
After greeting her , she turned her gaze to Celeste and smiled . “ You must be Cel ? ”
It was the first time Celeste had met Lauren . So , she respectfully replied , “ Yes , I am . ”
Lauren nodded in approval and praised , “ You’re very good – looking . ”
She had already been briefed on Isabelle’s condition before arriving at the hospital .
However , instead of hastily issuing a treatment plan , she preferred to observe and further understand the situation before making any decisions .
Celeste and Betty originally planned to accompany her the whole time and invite her for lunch at noon as a gesture of gratitude .
But Lauren asked them to go home , saying she would inform them once the treatment plan was ready .
“ As for the meal , ” she looked at Celeste and smiled , “ there will be plenty of opportunities in the future — no rush . ”
Since she said so , Celeste and Betty had no choice but to leave for now .
After leaving the hospital , Celeste returned to work at the company , and Martha accompanied Betty back to the Rodríguez residence .
That evening , after finishing work , Celeste returned to the Rodriguez residence for dinner . Martha was still there .
After dinner , just as Martha was about to leave , she looked at Celeste and gently patted the back of her hand , letting out a sigh .
She was aware that Celeste and Trevor had gone to the courthouse a few days ago to finalize their divorce .
Since they had already made the decision , she couldn’t force them otherwise . Besides , even if she wanted to interfere , some people simply wouldn’t listen .
Perhaps divorcing Trevor and a fresh start were the best choices for Celeste .
With that thought , Martha simply said , “ Take good care of yourself . ”
Celeste nodded . “ I will . You take care too . ”
When Martha returned to the Fleming residence , she stopped in her tracks upon seeing an unexpected guest sitting in the living
room .
“ What are you doing back here ? ”
Trevor turned to glance at her . “ You scolded me out of nowhere yesterday . I thought you missed me , so I came to visit . ”
Martha snorted and asked the housekeeper beside her , “ When did he get here ? ”
“ Around 6:00 pm . I was going to inform you , but Mr. Trevor said not to disturb you , so-

“ Nana ! ” At that moment , Jordyn came running downstairs .
Seeing her , Martha finally smiled .
She hugged the child who ran into her arms . “ Jo , are you hungry ? Have you eaten ? ”
“ Dad and I already had dinner . How about you , Nana ? Have you had your dinner ? ”
“ I did , ” she replied with a smile .
Though she was happy to see Jordyn , Martha clearly looked tired after being out all day .

Trevor noticed and said , “ I actually came to talk to you about something , but since you’re tired , how about tomorrow morning
it won’t be in the mood tomorrow morning either . ”
Martha knew that whatever he wanted to talk about surely involve Wynn .
“ I can’t control you , but don’t bother me with these things . ” Her tone was sharp .
It was the first time Jordyn had seen Martha lose her temper , but she wasn’t frightened . She simply asked , “ Nana , are you in a bad mood ? ”
“ Mm . ” Looking at the child , Martha’s heart was conflicted .
She turned to Trevor and said , “ Cel’s mother has a very serious health issue . Do you know about this ? ”
Even though Celeste had managed to get Lauren , if Isabelle’s condition was too severe , even Lauren might not be able to do anything .
Trevor replied calmly , “ I know now . ”
His tone was flat .
Whether it was indifference or apathy , his face was calm . He didn’t even look surprised . When it came to Celeste , he was still this cold and unconcerned .
He knew about the longstanding feud between the Rodriguez family and the Locket family , yet—
The more she thought about it , the more it made Martha’s chest tighten .
Jordyn looked up . “ Hasn’t Grandma been sick for a long time ? ”
She remembered Celeste telling her when she was very little that Isabelle was ill and had to stay in the hospital .
“ Your grandma has another illness now , ” Martha explained gently
Then , without even looking at Trevor , she said coldly , “ In the future , don’t come telling me about your nonsense . You can leave now . ”
