Looking at the message Trevor had sent , Celeste lowered her gaze and replied , “ I have nothing to add . ”
Trevor responded quickly . “ Alright . ” 3
After that , neither of them messaged each other again .
Ever since Lauren had been invited to treat Isabelle , she had moved out of the nursing home for easier checkups . She was now staying in a VIP ward at the hospital .
The next morning , Celeste and Betty went to visit Isabelle .
After undergoing treatment for some time , Isabelle still didn’t look particularly well , but at least she wasn’t as gaunt as she had been two weeks earlier .
However , she still couldn’t stand seeing familiar faces – she would become mentally unstable whenever she did .
After visiting her , when Lauren came out of the room , Celeste and Betty asked her about Isabelle’s current condition . They had only spoken for a short while when they saw a group walking toward them – Ruby , Lilian , and Howard .
Celeste’s expression changed slightly .
Why were they here ?
Betty’s grip on Celeste’s hand suddenly tightened as well when she saw Howard and Lilian .
Her daughter was just inside that hospital room . Even she herself could barely hold it together at the sight of those people – if Isabelle saw them , she couldn’t even imagine what might happen .
Lilian and Howard , now closer , also saw Celeste and Betty . They were just as surprised to see them here at the VIP ward .
However , before they could dwell on it , their attention was drawn to Lauren .
Ruby widened her eyes and lowered her voice . “ Is that Lauren Tindall ? What happened with the Rodriguez family ? How did they manage to get her to treat them ? ”
As soon as she said that , they thought of Isabelle – it must be related to her .
But then they remembered that Isabelle’s problem was mental , and Lauren wasn’t a psychiatrist . So , maybe it wasn’t her ,
Unless , Isabelle was having physical issues as well .
Lauren hadn’t appeared in public in a long time .
Now that they’d run into her, Ruby and the others were itching to go over and start a conversation .
But they had no personal connection to Lauren , and without a good reason , even saying hello would be awkward .
Lauren , however , had noticed the shift in Celeste and Betty’s expressions when they saw Howard and the others .
She glanced at them briefly , then withdrew her gaze coldly and said to Celeste and Betty , “ Her condition is improving . There’s no need to worry too much . ”
Both Celeste and Betty were filled with emotion and gratitude . They held Lauren’s hand and said , “ Thank you , Dr. Tindall . You’ve worked so hard these past few days . ”
Lauren was warm in demeanor . She patted Celeste’s hand and said . “ It’s my duty . ”
While they were speaking , Howard and the others had already walked past them and stopped about two to three rooms away , where they opened a door and entered .
Lauren still had other matters to attend to . So , she turned and left after saying a few words to her team .

Celeste and Betty watched her leave , then their gazes shifted to the nearby hospital room .

They guessed someone in the Locket family or the Shaw family had fallen ill . That was why Howard and the others were also here in the VIP ward area .
If someone in either family really was sick , and Howard and the others started frequenting this part of the hospital , then it was entirely possible that Isabelle might one day run into them . 1
With that thought , and noticing that Betty seemed to be sharing her concern , Celeste couldn’t help but ask a nearby doctor , ” Doctor , um … What’s wrong with the patient in Room 1003 ? ” 11
