Chapter 188
“That’s a relief.”
Feeling slightly reassured, Beck dropped the subject.
After a brief word with Matthias, Celeste left the office.
When Celeste arrived at the villa, she entered Jordyn’s room to find Trevor working at the desk.
Trevor looked up, noticing her. “You’re back,” he said.
Celeste murmured a soft reply.
She set aside her bag and went over to Jordyn’s bedside.
Jordyn was still on an IV. She must have been tired, as she had dozed off with a slight frown.
Celeste didn’t wake her up. Instead, she turned to Trevor and asked, “Is she okay now?”
“She was hurting pretty bad when I got home, but it’s much better now.”
“I see.”
Celeste sank into the couch, book in hand, intending to read while waiting for Jordyn to wake up.
Then, Trevor asked, “Have you eaten yet?”
“No, I haven’t.”
Before Trevor could utter another word, Jordyn woke up.
She was very surprised to see Celeste. “Mom? You’re back!”
“Yup.”
Celeste closed the book she had barely started reading, walked over, and sat by the bed. Before she could speak, . Jordyn sat up and threw her arms around Celeste’s neck. “You’re finally back, Mom!”
Feeling the warmth of her tiny body, Celeste paused briefly before hugging her back, making sure to avoid the IV
site.
Jordyn was feeling much better after being on the IV for more than half an hour. As the hunger set in, she said, ” Mom, I’m hungry.”
Trevor stayed where he was, glancing over. “Should I ask someone to bring you something to eat?”
Still curled up against Celeste, Jordyn lifted her head. “No, I want to eat Mom’s cooking.”
Upon hearing that, Celeste said, “Have something else for now, Jo. I’ll make you something next time.”
It was already too late to start preparing a meal.
“Alright,” she mumbled. “You have to eat with me then.”
“Okay.”
Jordyn’s joy was almost tangible after Celeste had come.
As her IV drip neared its end, Trevor carefully removed the needle for her, and she immediately asked Celeste to carry her downstairs for dinner.

Celeste lifted her, only to realize that Jordyn had gained some weight. She seemed to have grown taller as well.
It had only been 20 days had she really changed that much?
“Mom?”
Jordyn noticed that Celeste seemed lost in thought. Softly, she placed her hand on Celeste’s cheek.
Without a word, Celeste held her close and headed downstairs.
Trevor shut his laptop and trailed behind them. When he saw Jordyn bearning on Celeste’s shoulder, he reached out and gave her cheek a light pinch.
Jordyn was in such a good mood that she didn’t even protest
She sat next to Celeste, munching on her dinner while telling Celeste what she wanted for breakfast the next day.
