It wasn’t until Lilian , who was waiting in the restaurant , called to hurry her along that she finally came to her
senses .
She hung up , entered the restaurant , and seeing her pale expression , Lilian asked , “ What’s wrong ? Are you feeling unwell ? ”
Wynn shook her head . “ No. ”
Her tone was faint , as if all the strength had been drained from her . Her whole demeanor was distracted and listless , as if her soul had left her body . Something was clearly off. 7
Lilian frowned in concern .
Not long after Celeste got home from dinner , she received a message from Trevor .
“ There’s an urgent matter in Glenmere . After returning to the country , I’ll have to delay going back to Baumond by a few more days . ” 3
Celeste read it and took a deep breath , feeling a wave of frustration .
But given that she herself had missed their previous appointment just a couple of weeks ago , she had no grounds to lash out . Still , if there was a next time … z
She tossed her phone aside and went to take a shower .
The next morning , Celeste returned to work at YodaVision as usual .
Seeing her finally back after two weeks of absence , Kieran smiled and said , “ You’re back ? ”
Celeste nodded . “ Yeah . ”
Since Kieran started working at YodaVision , Celeste had already taken several extended leaves .
When Matthias mentioned she had personal matters to handle , Kieran had wondered what could take so long .
Now he assumed her long leave had probably been to deal with her divorce .
After all , she and her ex – husband had a child together – just negotiating custody could take ages .
He just didn’t know whether she had actually finalized the divorce during this time .
After chatting briefly with Kieran , Celeste returned to her work .
Three days later , she still hadn’t heard from Trevor but instead received a call from his mother , Queenie .
“ Martha is in emergency care at Central Hospital due to influenza compounded by chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and respiratory failure . She wants to see you . ” 2
There was no time to be surprised . Celeste grabbed her bag and rushed to the hospital .
When she arrived , Teagan , Tucker , Queenie , and Peter were all already waiting outside the emergency room .
Seeing her arrive , Teagan pursed her lips and said nothing . Queenie also remained silent . 2 )
Only Tucker greeted her , “ Celeste . ”

Celeste paused , didn’t respond , and asked instead , “ What’s the situation now ? ”
Tucker replied , “ She’s still in emergency treatment . Her condition is currently unclear . ”
Peter , aware that Celeste and Trevor hadn’t formally divorced , greeted her politely as well , “ Mrs. Fleming . ”
Celeste listened , then nodded slightly after a moment .
Peter continued , “ I’ve contacted Mr. Fleming and Ms. Jordyn . They’ve booked a flight and should be back later tonight . ”
Celeste replied , “ Okay . ”
Under the circumstances , even Teagan , who disliked Celeste , didn’t bother arguing with her . 6
After Peter finished speaking , the hallway outside the emergency room fell silent again .
The wait felt endlessly long .
Finally , the door to the emergency room opened .
Celeste , Queenie , and the others quickly rushed forward .
“ Doctor , how is she? ”
The doctor removed his mask and said , “ She’s been resuscitated , but her condition is still very unstable . Whether she can fully recover will depend on her own strength and willpower . ” a
