NovelGold---- Chapter 502 After coming back from Jorburgh, Celeste had two days off. She had a full day of rest. On the
morning of the second day, just after finishing breakfast, her phone rang. It was a call from Trevor. 1 Celeste
glanced at the screen before picking up. "What is it?" 1 "Grandma was discharged from the hospital two days
ago. She wants to invite you over to Fleming Manor for a meal." * Celeste was aware of Martha's discharge. At
that time, though, she had been away ona business trip in Jorburgh and couldn't personally go to pick her up
from the hospital. "Got it," Celeste replied.
Just as she was about to hang up, Trevor added, "I'll go pick you up now." "No need, I'll drive myself-"_ 4 "Jo
wantsto go with her to your house to pick you up. She's already got her shoes on." Trevor interrupted her. 2 -
--- Celeste paused. "...Alright." "We'll be there soon." Celeste didn't respond, so Trevor ended the call. About half
an hour later, Trevor and Jordyn arrived at the Rodriguez residence. The rest of the Rodriguez family wasn't
home. When Jordyn saw Celeste, she happily jumped out of the car, ran over, and hugged her.
"Mom!" 1 From the driver's seat, Trevor lowered the window and turned his head to look at them. Once inside the
car, Jordyn clung to Celeste, chattering about the fun things she'd done the past few days, and mentioning that
the gift she bought was already at the Fleming Manor. 1 While Celeste was talking with Jordyn, Trevor focused
only on driving. When Jordyn had neatly finished her stories, he glanced back at Celeste and asked, "You've been
resting these past two days?" 5 "Yes," she answered. There wasn't much else to say between them.
So, Trevor didn't initiate any more conversation with her along the way. ---- Martha had always been especially

looked, Celeste also felt relieved. Trevor was quite busy-while Celeste kept Martha company and chatted with
her, his phone hardly stopped ringing. + After lunch, Celeste had originally planned to stay a bit longer before
heading hin the afternoon. But outside, a heavy downpour started and didn't let up for quite a while.
Since Martha had only just recovered and was still weak, she went upstairs for her afternoon nap Trevor then
said to Celeste, "If you're tired, go upstairs and rest a bit too." Before she could answer, Jordyn tugged on her
hand and pulled her upstairs. Instead of going to Trevor's room, Celeste followed Jordyn into her room. Back
when she had cleared out her things from Trevor's house, she had almost taken everything. But here at Fleming
Manor, she hadn't removed her belongings. --— So, there were still a few sets of clothes of hers in Jordyn's
wardrobe.
2 As Celeste was about to find a set of her pajamas to change into, there was a knock at the door. She turned
her head, and before she could speak, Trevor, standing at the doorway, saw her rifling through Jordyn's closet. 1
Realizing she must be looking for pajamas, he didn't make a comment. His eyes shifted to the bed where Jordyn
lay. "She's asleep?" He nodded lightly. "Have a good rest." With that, he gently closed the door for them and
walked away. It had been a long tsince Celeste had last stayed at Fleming Manor.
