Chapter 721

On Monday, after dropping Jordyn off at school, Celeste went to meet Quincy and his team to discuss
work matters.
By the time she and Kieran arrived, Trevor was already there as well. 1
Seeing them, Trevor greeted them politely.
They met twice more over the next few days, but as before, they only discussed work. Other than that, they had no personal interaction whatsoever.
Lincoln had been recovering well over the past few days. By Saturday, arrangements had already been made for him to be discharged and continue recuperating at home.
Martha was overjoyed and personally went to the hospital to pick him up. But the moment she pushed open the door, she saw Wynn inside.
Wynn and Trevor had also just arrived. She handed the flowers in her hands to Lincoln. “Mr. Fleming, congratulations on your discharge. I’m wishing you a speedy recovery as well.”
Lincoln wasn’t particularly fond of Wynn either. But he couldn’t help the fact that his son liked her. 1
From the time of his accident until now, he had been hospitalized for nearly half a month. And Wynn had
never shown up even once. 2
He knew it was most likely because Martha had forbidden her from coming to visit.
Now, despite knowing that Martha disliked Wynn, Trevor had still deliberately brought her here on the day of his discharge. So, Lincoln simply smiled faintly and accepted the flowers from Wynn under the
circumstances.
“Thank you.”
At that moment, Trevor and Wynn also noticed Martha standing at the door.
Martha’s face immediately turned cold. Looking directly at Wynn, she asked sharply, “Who allowed you to come here?”
Standing beside Trevor, Wynn just lowered her head. She had a dry smile but didn’t respond.
Martha pressed her lips together and turned to Trevor, clearly furious. Just as she was about to speak, Lincoln gave a light cough, worried that they would start arguing.
“Mom, everything’s packed. Let’s head home first.”
Today was Lincoln’s discharge day. To Martha, it was an auspicious occasion. So, she didn’t want to argue with Trevor on such a day and spoil the mood.
She nodded while suppressing her anger. “Fine.”

Queenie’s injuries were less severe, so she had nearly recovered by now. She stepped forward to support Lincoln as they headed out. 1
Trevor reached out, intending to support Martha. But the moment his hand touched hers, she shoved it
away.
Trevor looked at her. “Still angry?” 3
Martha knew exactly what he was trying to do. He was attempting to ease the tension and give both sides an opportunity to step back gracefully.
More than that, he was trying to get her to accept reality.
Looking at Wynn following behind them, Martha pressed her lips into a thin line and turned to Trevor. ” You want to bring her home with us too, right? Let me tell you, I will never-”
Trevor looked at Martha, seemingly about to say something to persuade her to accept Wynn. But before he could speak, Wynn beat him to it.
Looking at Martha, she said, “Mrs. Fleming Senior, I just came to visit Mr. Fleming today. I still have other matters to attend to later. So, I’ll visit you and Mr. Fleming at the manor next time.” 5
How could Martha not see that this was Wynn deliberately yielding for now to have better advantage in the future, while making herself appear considerate and avoid putting Trevor in a difficult position? 2
Martha stared coldly at her. “There won’t be a next time. The Fleming family will never welcome you.” 5
Wynn didn’t argue. She merely lowered her eyes.
Trevor probably didn’t want to make things even more unpleasant with his family on the day Lincoln was discharged. So, he simply said to Wynn, “Text me when you get home.”
Wynn just smiled. “Okay.”
Wynn walked with the Fleming family all the way to their car. She politely said after they got into the car, Take care, Mr. Fleming. Goodbye.”
Lincoln gave her a courteous nod and smile. 1
Trevor then looked at her and said, “You should head back too.” 10
