---- Chapter 460 It was still uncertain when Martha would wake up. Celeste waited at the hospital with the others for over an hour. Seeing that Martha still hadn''t woken up, Queenie said calmly, " You should go back first. I''ll let you know when she wakes up or if there''s any update." Celeste looked at Martha lying on the hospital bed, wearing a venttor. After checking the time on her phone, she replied, "It''s still early.
I''d like to wait a little longer." 2 Hearing this, Queenie didn''t say anything more. Tucker and Teagan also stayed. Celeste waited until around 11:00 pm. When the doctor said Martha''s condition had stabilized a bit but that she wouldn''t wake up anytime soon, she finally left to get some rest. Over an hour after Celeste left, Trevor and Jordyn arrived at the hospital. Trevor already knew that Celeste hade to visit Martha.
He and Queenie decided to stay and keep herpany, while Peter would take Jordyn home to rest. ---- This was the first time Jordyn had ever faced life and death so directly. Looking at Martha lying in bed, she clutched Trevor''s waist and buried her face in his chest, eyes turning red in fear. "! don''t want to go home. I want to see Mom." + Trevor lifted her into hisp and looked at the time. "It''s almost 1:00 am. now. She might already be asleep.
I need to check with her first." "Oh, then I''ll call-" "Ill do it," Trevor offered. = "Okay." Trevor picked up his phone and sent Celeste a message. "Are you still awake? Jordyn and I are at the hospital. I n to stay here tonight with Grandma. Jordyn is scared after seeing her condition and wants to go to you. Is that okay?" Celeste hadn''t gone to bed yet. Though it waste, she couldn''t sleep, worried about Martha.
When she was about the same age as Jordyn, her own grandfather had suffered a major ident too. ---- So, when she saw Trevor''s message, she immediately understood and empathized with Jordyn''s fear and helplessness She replied, "Let here." "Okay." After reading his reply, Celeste was just about to put her phone down and go downstairs to get a ss of water when another message from Trevor came through.
"Let''s postpone the divorce for a few days?" 4 Celeste understood he meant they should wait until Martha''s condition stabilized before making further decisions. She hesitated for a moment before replying, "Okay." 2 "Thank you." This time, Celeste didn''t reply again Half an hourter, Jordyn arrived.
2 After her bath and getting into bed, Celeste pulled her into her arms, gently stroking her cheek, and said, "Go to sleep." This was actually the first time since she''d brought up the divorce that Celeste had taken the initiative to hold Jordyn like this. 1 ---- Nestled in her mother''s arms, Jordyn felt much more at ease. She''d been on the move all day with Trevor and was already exhausted. Before long, she fell asleep in Celeste''s arms. The next morning, Martha still hadn''t woken up.
After informing the housekeeper, Celeste and Betty brought Jordyn to the hospital to visit her again. Trevor must have really been busy. When they arrived a little after eight, he was already discussing business with Zeke, and several documents were spread out in front of him. When he saw them arrive, the two paused their conversation. Trevor stood up and greeted them, "You''re here." Celeste gave a soft hum in response.
Trevor then greeted Betty, " Madam Klein." 1 She merely nodded coldly and went inside to check on Martha. 2 Celeste had a meetingter that morning, so after seeing Martha, she nned to head to the office. But Jordyn clung to her and said, "Mom, I want to stay with you. ---- Can I go to work with you?"
