Peter had just turned to leave when Trevor brought Celeste''s
phone over from Jordyn''s room.
Taking it from his hand, Celeste didn''t lift her head, only said
softly, "Thank you." +
Trevor said nothing. 2
Celeste got out of bed, intending to go to Jordyn’s room to wash
Seeming to read her intention, Trevor stood there, watching her
before he spoke, “There''s a toothbrush and cup here too." 5
Celeste''s steps paused. Since she had already rested here,
washing up here didn''t seem to make much difference.
After a brief hesitation, she turned and went into Trevor''s
While she was brushing her teeth, Bill arrived.
After she was done washing up, Bill examined and carefully
asked about her condition. Then, while setting up an IV drip for
her, he also gave Trevor detailed instructions on what to watch
out for in the days ahead. ?
After Bill left, Trevor brought over the soup that Peter had
Celeste hesitated briefly before reaching out to take it. "Thank
"It’s okay.” 7
She was running a high fever now, feeling utterly awful, with no
appetite at all. But she still forced herself to eat slowly. 2
While drinking the soup, she suddenly thought of something.
Tuming her head slightly to look at Trevor, who was sitting not
far away watching her, she asked in a hoarse voice, "Where''s Jo?
"She''s downstairs. Both Jo and Grandma are very worried about
you, but children are fragile, and Grandma hasn''t fully recovered
yet either. I was afraid they''d catch it from you, so I didn''t let
theme up.” 4
Celeste managed half a bowl before she couldn''t eat any more.
Seeing how hard it was for her, Trevor didn''t insist. He took the
bowl from her hand, pulled a tissue, and handed it over for her to
wipe her mouth.
“If you''re notfortable, just rest. Once the IV''s done, I''ll call
Dr. Carter back up."
Thank you."
Trevor said nothing. 2
Even though she was exhausted, before sleeping, Celeste still
sent a message to Matthias, letting him know about her
condition.
Matthias, learning that she had such a high fever, was very
worried too, and told her to focus on getting her health back. As
for work, they would talk about it after she recovered.
Putting her phone down, Celeste was about to drift off when her
gaze unintentionallynded on Trevor, sitting not far away, still
working on hisputer.
She looked at him for a moment before closing her eyes to rest. 3
It was more than two hourster when she woke up again.
Her whole body was drenched in sweat, clothes soaked through.
At some point, the IV had finished, but Trevor was still there,
keeping watch.
Seeing her awake, he closed hisputer and walked over.
“How are you feeling?"
“Warm.”
More precisely, she felt warm and cold at the same time. But the
damp clothes clinging to her were unbearable. So, she got up
and went to the bathroom to change.
When she came back out, Trevor handed her a thermometer.
"I checked your temperature twice earlier—first it dropped quite
a bit, but then it started climbing again. Dr. Carter said that''s
normal. The timing''s about right now, let''s test again." 1
Celeste took it. "Okay."
Though still weak, she felt somewhat better than before.
ncing at Trevor''sptop on the desk, she said, "I can take
care of myself now. Go ahead with your work."
At that, Trevor looked at her for a moment but didn''t reply.
Just then, his phone rang. 7
He went over to pick it up. Then, he answered the call and
stepped out of the room. 6<style>
