By the time Celeste finished her work, it was already past ten.
Autumn had set in, and with the rain these past couple of days, the temperature had dropped quite a bit.
Maybe it was because she'd been sitting in front of the computer for too long and caught a chill, a sudden shiver ran through her body, and she sneezed several times in a row just as she closed her laptop and stood up to take a shower.
After she washed up and came out of the bathroom, her nose had already started running, and there was a dry, burning sensation in her throat.
Realizing she might be coming down with a cold, and knowing that at this hour the servants at the manor would already be asleep, Celeste went downstairs herself to make some tea to ease her cold.
She finished the tea and had just gone back upstairs when she heard Trevor's voice, "Still awake?"
Celeste turned her head. "About to sleep."
She had taken some cold medicine downstairs after drinking the tea, so her body felt warmer and a little better.
But she was exhausted and didn't have the energy to say much more.
"I'm going back to sleep," she said.
With that, she turned and went back to Jordyn's room, quickly drifting off.
She didn't know how long she had slept before she vaguely heard Jordyn's voice in her dreams. "Mom, you're burning up..."
Not long after, more footsteps entered the room.
Celeste tried to open her eyes, but her head felt unbearably heavy, and she quickly sank back into a dazed sleep.
When she finally woke again, her head was throbbing, her body weak, and her throat scorched with heat.
She tried to get up to drink some water, and as she moved, someone came over to support her.
"Want some water?"
Celeste froze, then slowly opened her eyes.
Trevor was standing in front of her. He had already turned away to pour water for her.
She let out a breath of relief—only to hear him ask, "Want your phone?"
She hummed a response.
Trevor got up and went to Jordyn's room to fetch it for her.
Meanwhile, Peter arrived with the soup.
Just as Celeste was about to get up and wash up, a sudden loud rumbling sound came from outside.
She froze, puzzled, until Peter chuckled. "That should be Dr. Carter."
Seeing her confusion, he explained with a smile, "Though the rain has eased and the water has receded, the roads are still blocked and no cars can get through.
"But your fever was too high, and Trevor was worried something might happen to you, so he arranged for a helicopter to bring Dr. Carter here to treat you."
With that, Peter reminded her to rest, then turned to leave.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Breaking Point of Love (Celeste and Trevor)
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....
Wynn's reputation is over. I read all these chapters for this moment... I'm really glad that Matthias finally said everything at once. All thanks to the fool Quinton...
So we're going to keep going in circles atp,nothing was revealed that we didn't already know,I mean I would've at least liked to see Trevor's reaction to finding out his wife is the co-owner and coder to CUAP,find out who drugged them.Whats happening with the military blacksite,how come Celeste is so quiet she never stands up for herself. All we're getting is reaction's from side character's who don't matter...
Yes.. I'm looking forward to the upcoming chapters......
I don't really understand the writer. Why are Trevor and Celeste silent now? Isn't it about them?...
Who the helly is georgette 😆...
Alas..the truth that has been buried since…is prevailing....
