Before the doctor could respond, a nearby young nurse chimed in, answering Celeste's question.
"The patient in Room 1003 is an elderly lady. She fainted yesterday due to high blood pressure. After some tests, it turned out to be nothing serious.
"She could've been discharged the same day, but her family insisted she stay for two more days for observation.
"She's a picky one too—refused to stay in a regular ward and demanded a VIP room. Her family was quite pushy as well.
"Our VIP ward has been fully booked these past few days, but they're related to someone important.
"After that person made a few calls, they just took over a room someone else had already reserved..."
The nurse kept talking nonstop until the doctor beside her gave a small cough, worried someone might overhear them.
The nurse fell silent.
So, that meant they would be leaving tomorrow?
If that was the case, Celeste felt somewhat relieved. At least there was less risk that Isabelle would run into members of the Lockets or the Shaws.
But still…
What she really feared was that some people might intentionally try to provoke her mother.
Thinking this over, Celeste, still uneasy, turned to the doctor and nurse and said, "My mother is currently not in a good mental state—she can't handle emotional triggers.
"Please keep a close eye on anyone entering or leaving her ward. Aside from familiar medical staff and a few of us from the family, no one else is allowed to enter without our permission.
"Also, if anyone asks about my mother's condition, please notify me immediately."
The doctor replied, "Of course, Ms. Rodriguez. Don't worry, we'll handle it."
Even with the doctor's reassurance, Celeste couldn't fully relax.
Just like she had been asking around about the Lockets and the Shaws, it was likely that they, too, would try to find out what was going on with her side.
Still, to be sure, Ruby asked, "The patient's family looked familiar to me. Is their surname Rodriguez? Is the patient named Isabelle?"
"Yes. You know them?"
Ruby smiled, "Oh yes, very well actually. We're old acquaintances." Then she added, "Since it's multiple organ failure, I suppose there's not much time left, is there?"
"That would've been true, but they're powerful and well-connected. They brought in Dr. Tindall, who works miracles. Apparently, the chances of recovery are looking quite good now."
At that, the smiles on Ruby and Patricia's faces faded a little.
After the nurse left, Ruby said with a sneer, "They're really getting off too easy."
Then she muttered, "That brat really gained a lot from clinging to Matthias."
If Celeste hadn't known Matthias, Isabelle might have already—
Lilian said nothing, but her brows slowly furrowed.

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....
