Chapter 22
Hearing that, Celeste’s hope that had just risen instantly fell again. She asked softly, “So it’s just a coincidence?”
The doctor comforted her, ‘Not necessarily. The movement of the eyeball is a good sign. We just can’t draw a conclusion from one instance. After all, she has been asleep for too long. You can continue to observe and let us know if there’s any change.”
Celeste nodded, “Thank you.”
After the doctor left, Celeste sat by the bed and watched her mother for a long time.
Before leaving, she gave Elaine some money, but Elaine refused to take it. Celeste said, “Please take it. I don’t come here often, and it’s all up to you to take care of my mom. If you don’t take it, I feel guilty. If anything happens to my mom, please let me know right away.”
Elaine replied, “Of course, it’s my job.”
Hearing this, Elaine didn’t refuse any further.
When Celeste arrived at the apartment that night, Trisha was still awake, and the TV was on, playing a variety show called Star Showdown.
“You’re back.”
Celeste hummed and sat down, sinking into the soft sofa, her tense nerves finally relaxed a bit.
“What’s with that look on your face? How’s your mom?”
“She is fine for now,” Celeste sighed. “But the divorce didn’t go through.
“I was wondering what happened to you, Trisha popped a cherry into her mouth. “Just try again another day.”
Celeste wasn’t as optimistic as her. Judging from Liam’s tone in the afternoon, he probably thought she deliberately didn’t go or even played tricks on him. It would be difficult to meet again if this time didn’t work out.
She sent Liam a message, asking if he was free tomorrow.
Liam ignored her, probably pretending he didn’t see it.
As she was thinking about how to invite Liam out, Trisha suddenly said, “Oh, right, you still have those two boxes of white truffles in the fridge. When are you going to give them to him?”
Celeste smacked her forehead, “How could I forget that?!”
She was just ooking for an excuse, and there it was! Liam had promised her, so he wouldn’t refuse or avoid her, right?
“Damn, are you serious? Star Showdown invited Sydney?” Trisha looked at the WhatsApp group chat with disgust, “The show must be crazy! She even capitalized on a major traffic accident. Has the internet lost its memory?”
Star Showdown was a popular variety show in recent years. Due to its massive popularity, it had become a favorite spot for drama
promotion.
Seeing someone you dislike on a show you like was a real turn-off. Trisha, unwilling to accept it, said, “It must be fake. Il see who leaked the news.”
At this moment, Celeste, who had never been interested in variety shows, suddenly said, “It should be true.”
Trisha turned her head, “How do you know?”
Celeste looked at her, “A few days ago, the show’s official Facebook messaged me, asking if I wanted to participate.”
Trisha was surprised, “They really invited you?”
Celeste nodded, “Yes, but I haven’t replied yet.”
