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)
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...
