Chapter 486
When she heard this, Celeste finally understood that Trevor had hurried off yesterday because of Wynn.
She had long known and grown used to how much Trevor cared about Wynn.
She also knew that Linda’s words were deliberately meant for her to hear.
Expressionless, she walked past Linda and the others, entering the elevator first. 3
It was only when they saw the floor Celeste pressed that Linda, Patricia, and the rest realized she was here to visit Martha.
They were aware of Martha’s illness. Although they hadn’t had the chance to personally visit her in the hospital, they knew she was also staying here.
They knew, yes–but they didn’t know exactly which ward she was in. In fact, they had secretly asked around about it the night before.
So, when they saw which floor Celeste was going to, they immediately understood that she was here to see Martha.
The Lockets and the Shaws had actually never met Martha before. (1)
Although they had managed to find out her exact room number, they were cautious and didn’t dare barge in, for fear of offending her. 1
Now, seeing that someone they wanted to meet but couldn’t approach was someone Celeste could see so casually, Lilian and Patricia immediately felt uneasy. 4
Linda even shot Celeste a fierce glare. 4
There were still other people in the elevator, so she didn’t start criticizing her right away.
Once they stepped out, she ground her teeth and muttered, “She and Trev are about to divorce, yet she still clings to Mrs. Fleming Senior. Shameless!” 4
Then, as if suddenly struck by another thought, she added, “She’s sticking close to Mrs. Fleming Senior so she can stir trouble behind the scenes and make Trev’s family dislike Wynn!”
Lilian and Patricia thought the same.
When they recalled that despite Martha’s grave illness, the Fleming family still wouldn’t let Trevor bring Wynn to visit her, Lilian’s gaze grew cold. 4
Meanwhile, Martha had just finished her check–up and was overjoyed to see Celeste arrive.
While chatting with her, Celeste took the flowers she had brought and arranged them in a vase on the small round table by the window. 23
Once the flowers were in place, she glanced down out the window and spotted Trevor in the parking
lot.

She looked only for a moment before withdrawing her gaze and sitting back down beside Martha to continue talking.
Martha was still not in great spirits. She had been hospitalized for some time now. While visitors came regularly, she still felt bored. *
Seeing Celeste arrive, she chatted with her eagerly
Noticing this, Celeste stayed with her a bit longer.
Martha knew Celeste still had work to do. Though reluctant, after chatting for nearly half an hour, she said, “Cel, I won’t keep you from work. Just come visit me again when you have time.”
Celeste checked the time. It was indeed getting late, and she was about to agree when she heard the door open.
She turned to see Trevor walking in.
It was only then that she remembered he had probably been at the hospital for at least half an hour already.
Yet he was only now coming up to see Martha.
Thinking of Wynn, who was staying in a ward downstairs, Celeste instantly understood why.
She was about to look away when Trevor greeted her, “You’re here.”
Celeste responded with a faint hum and then turned back to bid farewell to Martha.
Trevor said, “Leaving so soon?”
Martha snorted. “Soon? Cel’s been here for over half an hour already. Do you think she’s like you, always showing up this late?” as
Celeste didn’t reply to him. After saying goodbye again to Martha, she turned to leave.
Before she stepped out, she heard Martha say to Trevor, “Good thing Cel stayed to chat with me for half an hour and kept me company. Now that you’re here, you can talk with me for a while too.”
just before she exited the room completely, she heard Trevor say, “I’m leaving on a business trip in a bit. I need to head to the airport in a few minutes
