When Celeste heard this , she was about to respond when Trevor spoke first , “ Your mom is busy with work . Don’t bother her . ”
Jordyn pouted unhappily and looked up at Celeste with puppy – dog eyes .
Celeste said , “ I have a meeting at the company , and then I need to go to another company for business . It’s not convenient to bring you along – maybe next time , okay ? ”
Hearing that , Jordyn sounded a little down but eventually let go . “Okay … ”
Since Martha hadn’t woken up and there was nothing more to say , Betty left with Celeste when she departed .
Inside the elevator , Betty said calmly , “ He’s not worried that Jordyn will disturb your work . He’s worried she’ll be seen by someone familiar if she goes to your company with you , right ? ” 7
Celeste understood what she meant .
If word got out that she and Trevor were still legally married , it would affect Wynn first and foremost .
To protect Wynn , Trevor would naturally keep the fact that he and his “ ex – wife ” were not officially divorced tightly under wraps until the paperwork was finalized .
Once downstairs , Celeste watched as Betty’s car left before she turned and got into her own car .
At the hospital entrance , Beck had just arrived and immediately recognized Celeste’s silhouette as she got into the
car .
He instinctively wanted to call out to her , but Celeste had already driven out of the exit .
Beck swallowed his words .
Miles walked around from the driver’s side and patted Beck on the shoulder . “ Why are you spacing out ? Let’s go . ”
Beck snapped out of it and headed upstairs with Miles .
When they arrived , Jordyn greeted them cheerfully . “ Mr. Harper , Mr. Quinton ! ”
Beck smiled and reached out to ruffle Jordyn’s hair , then placed the fruit basket he brought on the side table .
At that moment , he noticed the gift that Celeste and Betty had brought earlier . A small card with Celeste’s handwritten get – well message for Martha was clearly visible .
Seeing her familiar handwriting , Beck felt a wave of warmth in his chest and stared at the small card signed “ Cel ” in a daze .
Noticing him standing there frozen , Miles called out to him , “ Beck , come sit down . What are you looking at ? ”
Beck came back to his senses and turned to see both Miles and Trevor watching him .
As soon as he met Trevor’s gaze , he instinctively looked away . After replying , “ Sure , ” he put down the fruit basket and walked over .
But before sitting down , he paused , turned back , and subtly shifted his fruit basket to sit right next to Celeste’s gift . 4
Just as he sat down , Trevor’s phone rang .
It was a call from Wynn .

Trevor answered after seeing the caller II .
On the other end , Wynn asked with concern , “ How’s your andmother ? Has she woken up yet ? ”
“ Not yet . ”
“ How’s Jordyn ? Feeling any better ? ”
“ Much better . ” t
“ Can I say a few words to her ? ”
“ Sure . ”
Trevor handed the phone to Jordyn .
“ Is it Wynn ? ” she asked .
“ Mhm . ”
Jordyn quickly took the phone and said sweetly , “ Wynn … ”
Miles scratched his nose when he realized it was Wynn on the phone . 5
Before arriving earlier , he had asked Trevor over the phone whether Wynn would be coming to visit Martha .
Trevor had said she wouldn’t .
It was later that he found out Queenie had already laid down the rules the night before , clearly stating that Wynn was not allowed to visit Martha . 5
Queenie’s exact words were “ Don’t bring any random outsiders into the hospital room to disturb your grandmother’s recovery . ” ( 11 )
