NovelApexChapter 475 Two days later, at noon, Celeste and Kieran were on their way to the cafeteria for lunch when her phone suddenly rang It was a call from Trevor. Celeste saw the caller ID and hesitated for a second before answering the call. "Hello?" "Grandma's awake." 4 Joy surged in Celeste's heart. She said, "I'll cover right away.
"Alright." After hanging up, she turned to Kieran, who was standing next to her waiting, and said, "Sorry, something cup-I won't be going to the cafeteria." Kieran glanced at the number on her phone and, seeing that it was indeed something urgent, said, "No problem." 2 Celeste nodded and quickly walked off. When she arrived at the hospital, Trevor, Jordyn, Teagan, Queenie, Lincoln, and the others were all there. As soon as she walked in, Jordyn ran into her arms.

Grandma, Celis here." 9 Upon hearing that Celeste had arrived, Martha smiled and tried her best to look toward the door. Celeste stepped forward and took her hand. "Grandma." Martha gently patted her hand, wanting to say something, but before she could utter a word, she drifted back into unconsciousness. Celeste panicked. "Grandma-" Trevor gently patted her shoulder and comforted her.
"Grandma just woke up, her condition still isn't stable, and she's low on energy. The doctor said it's normal- nothing to worry about." Hearing this, Celeste finally let out a breath of relief. But Martha looked so pale that she couldn't help but worry it was a sign of a temporary surge of energy before passing.
She asked, "Then what's the situation now...?" Trevor replied, "Although her condition hasn't fully stabilized yet, the doctor believes it will gradually improve." With that, the heavy weight on Celeste's heart finally eased. After a while, so as not to disturb Martha's rest, everyone, ---- including Celeste and Trevor, left the ward. Most of them-whether Teagan or Trevor-had received the news about Martha waking up while they were on their way to lunch. So, none of them had eaten yet.
Lincoln had been especially busy with work and had only cto see Martha twice while she was in a coma. This time, he had taken two extra days off to stay. Seeing that everyone still hadn't eaten, he said to Celeste, "Since Cel's back too, why don't we all go eat together?" Lincoln had always been busy with work. Whether before or after her marriage, Celeste hadn't seen much of him. But ever since she was little, he had always treated her fairly well.
2 Faced with his invitation, neither Queenie nor Teagan said a word -which basically meant they didn't object. Over the many years of her marriage to Trevor, Celeste had gone out to eat with the Fleming family less than three times in total. 5 Thinking back, those occasions felt like they happened ages ago. Since she and Trevor were already preparing for a divorce, she didn't want to intrude on their family gathering.
So she said, "It's okay, I've still got work to deal with--maybe next time." 1 Everyone could tell she was politely declining. ---- Hearing this, Lincoln paused and looked at Trevor. Before Trevor could say anything, Jordyn lowered her head in disappointment and fiddled with the little plush toy in her arms. Trevor didn't try to persuade her to stay either-he simply said, "I'll walk you out." He wasn't really walking her out-he clearly had something to say.
4 Celeste understood and said, "Thank you." Trevor turned to Jordyn and said, "Jo, go play with your Uncle Tucker for a while. I'll be back soon." "Okay," Jordyn replied, though her eyes still looked longingly at Celeste. Celeste saw the reluctance in her eyes, paused for a moment, and then rubbed her head. "When I have time, I'll take you out to have fun." 13 Jordyn immediately brightened up and grabbed the hand that had patted her head. "Okay!" =
