The Breaking Point of Love Novel

Chapter 404 " He's never shown up ? " Kieran asked . " Yeah . " Another colleague chimed in , " That's why a lot of us think Ms. Rodriguez is probably already divorced . I mean , it's been more than half a year , and she hasn't even mentioned him once . " " Exactly . " That actually made sense . If Celeste weren't divorced , would Caleb dare to pursue her so publicly ? Still , Kieran couldn't calm down . It had never crossed his mind that Celeste had already been married .

As he sat there in a daze , Celeste walked over and asked , " What's wrong ? " He wanted to ask , " Is it true that you're married ? " But this was the workplace , and asking personal questions like that - especially of a superior - wasn't appropriate . It might be alright once in a while , but any more would be crossing a line . Snapping back to reality , he just said , " It's nothing . " That afternoon , Celeste received a phone call .

After hanging up , before the end of the workday , she told Matthias . " I might only come in tomorrow afternoon . Can you attend the morning meeting in my place ? " " Of course . " Then he asked , " Did something come up ? " " My mother's going to the hospital for some health checks . I want to go with her . " Matthias wasn't aware of Isabelle's worsening condition . He thought it was just a routine check - up . So , he said , " Alright . Go ahead . I'll take care of things here .

" Celeste nodded and left the company . The next day , Celeste , Betty , and Adeline all arrived early at the hospital . Even at the hospital , they had to keep a distance , afraid Isabelle might spot them . During the checkups , Isabelle would become inexplicably agitated struggling wildly like a madwoman . It often took multiple medical staff to hold her down to get through each procedure . She had over ten tests in total .

Once they were done , Isabelle left the hospital with the nursing home staff . Betty , due to her own frailty , also left . Celeste stayed behind with the doctor from the nursing home to wait for the results . Most of the reports wouldn't be ready until the afternoon . Some could only be out the next day . But the few that were already out didn't look promising . After the doctor explained , Celeste felt her heart sink . She thanked the doctor and prepared to leave the hospital .

But just as she stepped into the hospital's main lobby , a young girl's voice called out , " Mom ! " Celeste froze . Her fingers tightened around the strap of her bag . She didn't turn her head and was about to pretend she hadn't heard it and leave when Jordyn ran over from the side and hugged 1/3 Chapter 404 +25 BONUS her around the waist . " Mom ! " Celeste turned slightly . She was just about to speak when she caught sight of Trevor standing not far away , watching from the crowd .

She averted her gaze , looked down at Jordyn , and , hearing her cough , asked quietly , " Are you sick ? " " Mm ! " Jordyn nodded , coughing a few more , times before looking up . " Mom , why are you at the hospital too ? Are you sick ? " " No , I'm not sick . " Celeste touched her forehead . " Do you have a fever ? " " I had a fever last night , but it's gone now . " Then , without waiting for Celeste to respond , Jordyn hugged her even tighter and glanced toward the approaching Trevor .

She pouted . " Last night I wanted to call you and ask you to accompany me , but Dad said you were busy . " Celeste didn't look at Trevor . " I'm indeed busy . But I'm glad your fever's gone . " She paused , then asked , " Why come to the hospital , though ? What about the family doctor ? " For minor illnesses , there was usually no need to bring Jordyn to the hospital . At that moment , Trevor spoke up , " We came for a full health check - up .

" Celeste heard this but didn't ask why they needed it . Jordyn clung to her and said excitedly , " Mom , I don't have to go to school today . Can I go with you to visit Granny ? "
