The next day, Isabelle's test results came back.
Overall, the level of organ failure in her body was slightly less severe than what had been shown in the previous tests conducted at the nursing home.
Normally, with this degree of organ failure, as long as there was treatment and proper care, the condition could be stabilized.
However, Isabelle's baseline health was extremely poor, and the rate of organ deterioration was relatively fast—so her overall prognosis was still not optimistic.
After hearing the doctor's analysis, Celeste and Betty felt a mix of relief and worry.
Relieved because there was still a chance for Isabelle; worried because, given her current condition, she might not be able to cooperate fully with the treatment.
That afternoon, Zachary called and invited Celeste and Matthias out for dinner.
Matthias was away on a business trip that afternoon, so in the evening, Celeste drove alone to pick up Zachary.
When they arrived at the restaurant and had just gotten out of the car, Wynn, who was also just about to step out, caught sight of them.
Seeing Celeste with Zachary, and not spotting Matthias anywhere, Wynn didn't think too much of it. She got out of the car and walked over to Zachary. "Mr. Newman."
Zachary glanced at her with a cold expression, gave a slight nod, and looked away. Then he turned to Celeste and said, "Let's go."
With that, he started walking forward while continuing the conversation they'd been having earlier.
A few days ago, when Celeste had been discussing recent developments in the AI field with Bryson and Rodney in Trevor's office, she had received praise from them.
Even if they thought her views were somewhat secondhand, Wynn couldn't help but start following the latest trends in the field herself over the past few days.
So now, she could tell that Zachary and Celeste were discussing recent breakthroughs in AI—such as brain-computer interfaces and on-device AI inference.
Seeing Zachary give her a cool brush-off and then ignore her completely, Wynn didn't say anything more.
She just followed them into the restaurant while keeping a short distance from them.
He held a prestigious position but had a notoriously cold and proud demeanor.
Normally, someone like him should've been criticized for it. But his strength was simply too formidable, and the contributions he had made to the country were undeniable.
So, even though his actions didn't always match the responsibilities of his title, no one dared to say anything against him.
Yet just now, he had clearly been actively discussing technical topics with Celeste.
So, did that mean Zachary genuinely thought highly of Celeste? Otherwise, why would he give her such face and meet her for a private dinner?
After all, he was famous for being nearly impossible to book. Even for people he knew well, he rarely granted them that courtesy.
Was Celeste truly someone Zachary had come to admire?
Thinking of how his attitude toward Celeste had been significantly warmer than toward herself, Wynn's red lips pressed into a tight line as she watched them walk away.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Breaking Point of Love (Celeste and Trevor)
Uhuh. And what, pray tell, is it that you know to be doing Trevor?...
Mr. Lincoln, you never raised your son. He is not a real man... When I see him, I just remember the line from the song that says "I guess no one ever told you how to be a real man."...
Did Trevor shut down the internet? If he does it, he's truly the biggest whore I've ever seen in my life... This guy raised my blood pressure throughout 800 chapters...
ok im done im not reading this trash anymore its repetitive celeste finally speaks and its less than 5 words.this isn't good at all and now we're getting the netizens pov but not hers. EVERYBODY HAS AN OPINION EXCEPT HER AND TREVOR...
I’m not liking where this is headed.. I’m getting the sense that the author is following the revenging husband storyline and Trevor did all this just to avenge his wife...
Isn't this a company that Celeste and Matthias work for? This will be a fatal blow to those scoundrels....
I'm so excited for tomorrow! I wonder what happened to Jo... What is the story behind that court summons?...
A court summons? Oh my God, what happened?...
Here we go again…drip-drop. One page a day instead of the promised 5 Chapters and even that stops suddenly so we never know if the story will advance. I swear this author is writing the new page on their lunch break and laughing at us when we get frustrated....
I feel like reading the novel from everyone else's perspective, but the main characters. There has never been a glimpse on Trevor's side of thoughts or intentions. He feels like a ghost in this whole storyline. Although i am glad that Mathias revealed the truth about Celeste, but it still feels empty without main character's thoughts or feelings or voices being shared....
