Chapter 470
At the Rodriguez residence, Celeste had already discussed the diamond auction with Betty before attending it.
Looking at the dazzling diamond that Celeste had spent a fortune acquire, Betty was silent for a long while before finally speaking.
“Your mother truly did love diamonds… but if diamonds really have an effect, they could either help her regain her senses, or drive her deeper into madness.
“So… Cel, keep the diamond safe for now. As for using it in your nether’s treatment, let’s wait and see how things go first.”
Celeste had actually thought of this possibility too.
She agreed with her grandmother’s reasoning.
But such rare diamonds were hard to come by. If she missed this chance, who knew how long it would take for another opportunity?
Besides, she wasn’t short on money at the moment, so even if it wouldn’t be used right away, she still went ahead and bought it.
Hearing her grandmother say this, she simply replied, “Alright.”
She hadn’t visited Martha at the hospital for the past couple of days. So, the next morning, she went again.
She arrived quite early, but when she got to the hospital, both Trevor and Miles were already there. Peter, however, was nowhere in sight.
When she knocked and entered, both Trevor and Miles looked toward her.
Celeste simply nodded at Trevor as a greeting and went straight inside to check on Martha.
Seeing Celeste completely ignore him, Miles widened his eyes and couldn’t help but mutter to Trevor, “She really doesn’t take anyone seriously anymore, does she?” 46
Trevor sat down and casually responded with a noncommittal hum Then, he said, “So?”
Miles didn’t answer.
A while later, Celeste came out of the ward. But she didn’t leave immediately. Instead, she looked at Trevor and asked, “How has Grandma been these past two days?” 2
Trevor poured a glass of water and walked over to offer it to her.
Celeste shook her head, indicating she didn’t want it. (2
Trevor didn’t insist and set the glass down before replying, “She’s shown some improvement. According to the doctors, she might regain consciousness in a few days.”
“Alright, got it.” With that, Celeste said nothing more and turned to leave.
Just then, Trevor said, “Jo’s gone for training. She’ll be back tomorrow.”
She wasn’t particularly interested in Jordyn’s whereabouts. (3
But since Miles was right there, eyes darting between her and Trevor with an obvious look of gossip all over his face, she decided not to respond. 2
She simply left behind a brief “Got it” and walked away without looking back. 2
Miles watched her leave and didn’t turn away until her figure disappeared from view.
Then he looked at Trevor and said, “I’ve noticed… now that you two are getting divorced, your relationship actually seems better

than before.”
Trevor, typing away on his laptop, didn’t even look up. He gave an ambiguous reply, “Is that so?”
Most couples tear each other apart during a divorce. What was happening between these two was rather rare.
But Miles didn’t say that out loud.
He suddenly seemed to think of something and said, “Whatever the case, you two have jo between you. Though she did make mistakes back then, it’s all in the past. 1
“Since she’s let go now, and if you can also let things go for Jo’s sake, then… There really isn’t some deep hatred between you that can’t be resolved.
“For Jo’s sake, maybe it’s not such a bad idea for you to get along moving forward…”
Trevor didn’t respond.
Miles looked at him, unsure what he was thinking.
But since Trevor didn’t say anything, Miles couldn’t keep pushing either–so he just shut his mouth in silence. 7
