After Celeste measured her temperature, she forced herself to stay awake for a while, but Trevor never came back. Before long, she drifted off to sleep again.
When she opened her eyes the next time, Trevor was still sitting there reading.
Seeing her awake and staring blankly in his direction without really looking at him, Trevor stood up and went over. He then touched her sweat-soaked forehead.
"What is it?" he asked.
It had actually been a long time since they'd had any physical contact.
Celeste wasn't used to his touch.
Although she knew he was only checking her temperature, she still brushed his hand away and shook her head silently.
She was just surprised he was still there. She had thought he'd left the manor after taking that phone call earlier.
She broke out in another heavy sweat, but finally, the fever showed signs of receding.
Feeling sticky and uncomfortable, she changed into another clean set of clothes. After eating and resting for a while, she fell asleep again.
When she woke once more, it was already afternoon.
By then, her fever had completely subsided.
At that moment, Trevor was no longer in the room. The room was very quiet, leaving her alone.
Her phone on the bedside table buzzed with a message.
It was from Matthias, asking about her condition.
Celeste chatted briefly with him, but since he was busy with work, they didn't talk long. Putting down her phone, she took in the room in full for the first time.
Earlier, while sick, she hadn't paid much attention. Now awake, she noticed that Trevor's room hadn't really changed.
So, he walked over.
Hearing his footsteps, Celeste drew back her gaze and said to him, "The roads are clear again. I'm almost fully recovered, so I'll head back now."
After a half-second pause, she added, "Thank you... for today."
Trevor knew she was thanking him for taking care of her.
Before he could respond, Martha's voice sounded from behind, "Trevor, what are you doing? Cel's fever just broke, and you let her stand at the window like this? What if it comes back again?"
Separated by some distance, Celeste quickly said, "Grandma, I'm almost fine now, it won't come back so easily."
"You just don't know how to take care of yourself." Martha's face was full of disapproval.
"You still don't look well. You need more rest. It's still early—Cel, go back and sleep a while longer. When you wake up, it'll be just in time for dinner."

The readers' comments on the novel: The Breaking Point of Love (Celeste and Trevor)
I know everyone will not agree with me and I also know that Trevor is a trash and all but I want Trevor and Celeste to get back together. They should be the end game and for that to happen Trevor should start working hard for that second chance....
So we're going to go on for another 15 chapter's about jordan's temper tantrum with neither of the parents asking her what's wrong..stop milking it. The only reason i'm still reading is because i cant leave a book unfinished. What I'm pissed about is the book started with promise and turned into a circus....
The story should just come to an end and the writer should give their reader the closure they deserve. There's no point in keeping the story going. It's been the same since the start. Not has changed. The initial story plot was, that Celeste and Trevor are getting devorce and still after 800 + chapter, they are still heading for a devorce....
Don’t Shaws and Lockets reflect ever on themselves? Every difficult situation, they look forward to Wynn to ask for Trevor to help. Initially the focus of the novel was on how Wynn is so accomplished blah blah and now - she is just a useless person, incapable of anything. Irritating storyline...
I'm starting to get bored and I can't predict exactly where the story is headed....
Beck being the only actual adult to ask a child what’s wrong...
Can we get to the point its stagnant and I am unimpressed,I don't care about the company being in trouble nor the inner thoughts of others. Come on now....
Its a good thing both jordan parents are loaded. They going to spend a lot for Jordan therapy. 😂...
Wynn has no shame. And keeping the staff well beyond their work hours is an a-hole move....
I am again fed up with the storyline..it is just exhausting to keep reading only one side of story - where people are living in their own righteous bubble and assumptions....
