On Thursday, Celeste didn’t accompany Jordyn to the competition in another city.
However, Jordyn wasn’t upset. She just acted coquettishly and made her promise to take her out to have fun after she finished the competition and related events.
Unable to resist her pleading, Celeste agreed.
For the past two to three days, Celeste had been swamped with work and hadn’t gone to the hospital to visit Martha.
On Friday morning, she finally made another trip to the hospital.
Downstairs, she caught sight of Wynn, who had a bandage on her head and was out for a walk
Wynn was on the phone. “I’m doing much better. Jo, just focus on your competition there, don’t worry too much about me.” 2
As she finished speaking, she looked up and, spotting Celeste, quickly averted her gaze with indifference.
Wynn then continued, “You’ll call me the moment the results are out? Haha, of course, I’ll be glued to my phone at that time, I won’t miss your call for the world. It’s almost time for your team to gather, go meet your coach. Good luck!” 3
It wasn’t even eight in the morning yet. As always, Jordyn had called Wynn bright and early. Celeste listened, her expression calm, and walked past Wynn into the elevator.
Once inside the ward, she learned that Martha had felt stuffy staying indoors and had gone downstairs for a walk too. 1
She set down the flowers she’d brought and turned to head down to the garden.
There, she saw Lilian with Wynn. She also spotted Martha, but she wasn’t with them. Apparently, Martha had no idea Wynn was hospitalized and hadn’t noticed her and Lilian at all. Wynn and Lilian, on the other hand, were very aware of Martha and had been watching her. When they saw Celeste arrive, they pulled back their gazes and headed the other way.
As Celeste approached, Martha finally noticed her and immediately lit up with a smile. “Cel, you’re here.” 1
“Grandma.”
Though Wynn and Lilian had already walked away, they had seen the smile on Martha’s face clearly.

They had considered going over to greet her, but since her illness had struck so suddenly and she supposedly couldn’t handle shocks, they decided against it.
Since Martha was so fond of Celeste, Lilian didn’t dwell on it. She said with a sneer, “People said Mrs. Fleming Senior can’t control Trevor. No matter how much she dotes on that woman, Trevor is still divorcing her.” 3)
By the same logic, even if Martha disliked them, if Trevor insisted on marrying her daughter, there was nothing she could do to stop him. 3
Furthermore, Martha had fallen gravely ill this time. Rumor had it that if she’d been sent to the hospital even ten minutes later, she wouldn’t have made it.
Her condition was so severe, and yet Trevor hadn’t backed out of the divorce for her sake. Nor had Martha tried to use her illness to force him not to go through with it.
That only showed that Martha had accepted the divorce and might even be preparing herself to welcome Wynn into the Fleming family. 5
Lilian said, “So, don’t rush.”
After this close call, Wynn realized Trevor cared about her more than she thought. That settled her heart somewhat. So, she wasn’t in such a hurry anymore. 1
Still, watching Martha dote on Celeste while disliking her did make her uncomfortable.
But in the end, what would happen between her and Trevor depended solely on him.
Since Martha couldn’t truly stand in their way, why should she care so much about Martha’s opinion? 1
With that thought, whether Martha or the Fleming family liked her or not, Wynn stopped caring altogether. 6)
