Lauren knew Martha as well.
After greeting her, she turned her gaze to Celeste and smiled. "You must be Cel?"
It was the first time Celeste had met Lauren. So, she respectfully replied, "Yes, I am."
Lauren nodded in approval and praised, "You're very good-looking."
She had already been briefed on Isabelle's condition before arriving at the hospital.
However, instead of hastily issuing a treatment plan, she preferred to observe and further understand the situation before making any decisions.
Celeste and Betty originally planned to accompany her the whole time and invite her for lunch at noon as a gesture of gratitude.
But Lauren asked them to go home, saying she would inform them once the treatment plan was ready.
"As for the meal," she looked at Celeste and smiled, "there will be plenty of opportunities in the future—no rush."
Since she said so, Celeste and Betty had no choice but to leave for now.
After leaving the hospital, Celeste returned to work at the company, and Martha accompanied Betty back to the Rodriguez residence.
That evening, after finishing work, Celeste returned to the Rodriguez residence for dinner. Martha was still there.
After dinner, just as Martha was about to leave, she looked at Celeste and gently patted the back of her hand, letting out a sigh.
She was aware that Celeste and Trevor had gone to the courthouse a few days ago to finalize their divorce.
Since they had already made the decision, she couldn't force them otherwise. Besides, even if she wanted to interfere, some people simply wouldn't listen.
Perhaps divorcing Trevor and a fresh start were the best choices for Celeste.
With that thought, Martha simply said, "Take good care of yourself."
Celeste nodded. "I will. You take care too."
When Martha returned to the Fleming residence, she stopped in her tracks upon seeing an unexpected guest sitting in the living room.
"What are you doing back here?"
Trevor turned to glance at her. "You scolded me out of nowhere yesterday. I thought you missed me, so I came to visit."
Martha snorted and asked the housekeeper beside her, "When did he get here?"
"Around 6:00 pm. I was going to inform you, but Mr. Trevor said not to disturb you, so—"
She turned to Trevor and said, "Cel's mother has a very serious health issue. Do you know about this?"
Even though Celeste had managed to get Lauren, if Isabelle's condition was too severe, even Lauren might not be able to do anything.
Trevor replied calmly, "I know now."
His tone was flat.
Whether it was indifference or apathy, his face was calm. He didn't even look surprised. When it came to Celeste, he was still this cold and unconcerned.
He knew about the longstanding feud between the Rodriguez family and the Locket family, yet—
The more she thought about it, the more it made Martha's chest tighten.
Jordyn looked up. "Hasn't Grandma been sick for a long time?"
She remembered Celeste telling her when she was very little that Isabelle was ill and had to stay in the hospital.
"Your grandma has another illness now," Martha explained gently.
Then, without even looking at Trevor, she said coldly, "In the future, don't come telling me about your nonsense. You can leave now."

The readers' comments on the novel: The Breaking Point of Love (Celeste and Trevor)
Another saviour debt?? Seriously?...
I just need an effing glimpse to what goes around in Trevor's mind. Author - do something about it please There is not even a single mention about what Trevor really wants - interested in Celeste? If yes, then why there is no reaction on seeing people courting Celeste...
I love the story bt really death slow... Y cant you post 5 to 10 chapters per day????...
This reads like a daily diary account...and not a story with a planned plotline. Author, we would share if you took the time to start developing the story, rather than dragging it out with outlines. no depth, no character development, not even the overused tropes are present, just a daily itinerary. We want you to do well..but you have to put the work in making it a viable story...
The storyline is moving painfully slow.. Will we ever get to hear Trevor's side of story? Currently the mixed signals from Trevor are just confusing and frustrating. He is using Jordyn to postpone the divorce and side by side ignoring Wynn to the level that he didnt invite her to the Fleming group banquet. But when asked about clarifying divorce to Jordyn, he is not doing so. Awfully frustrating...
Team beck or Caleb. Trevor has wynn saved his contact as 'babe', kissing her in office and spending nights with her. How in initial chapters Trevor pushed jordyn towards wynn without caring about a mother's feelings. Now he is two timing, suddenly interested in Celeste after knowing background and leaving wynnn behind. Spineless man. He knows cels history with her father, still chose to support them. I don't how people are rooting for cel and Trevor. I wish truth comes out. Cel deserves someone who loves her with whole heart. She thrives in her field. Beck saw cel when she was not famous. But Caleb is good option too. I hope Celeste grows spine starts to demand explaination for dragging divorce....
Author - dont you think the story has been dragged as is? Now, you want to include the angle of Wynn being pregnant as well? God, i really want to know Trevor side of story, why is he playing both sides?...
Are they going to compromise for Jordyns sake? I'll be sad for Celeste if that happens. Why is author giving mixed signals in almost every alternate chapter? Initially Trevor and Wynn were always appearing together along with huge PDA, then Trevor seems involved with Celeste - when she was under alcohol influence, then Trevor seemed to be ignoring Wynn - all the while divorce proceedings are still on and now Jordyn is getting depressed because of their situation. Feels like we are just roaming around the bush or the author is making us do that. Sigh!!...
I don't understand where this story is headed to.. I can't seem to know what Trevor is thinking, in late 500 chapters, he was seen dodging the divorce, ignoring Wynn and now at 624, he is planning on how to tell Jordyn about the divorce. This is messed up!...
My fav novel post us more chap per day...
