Celeste and Betty stayed with Martha for about half an hour before Trevor said, “I’m stepping out for a bit.”

During that time, Trevor had mostly remained a silent observer, barely speaking.

Hearing this, Martha scoffed, “Just go then.”

Trevor left the hospital room. But once he was gone, he didn’t return for over half an hour.

Earlier, Samantha had been there, making sure the fruit, pastries, and tea were all well taken care of.

After Samantha stepped away for a moment, Celeste noticed that Betty’s tea had gone cold. So, she picked up the small teapot and went over to the table, intending to brew a fresh pot of tea.

Seeing Celeste personally handling the tea, Martha suddenly thought of Trevor.

She frowned and muttered, “Trevor really is something… I don’t know what he’s off doing, but he’s been gone for so long.”

When Trevor had said he was stepping out, Celeste didn’t pay much attention to it. But hearing Martha’s complaint, she suddenly recalled that Wynn was still downstairs.

Trevor had most likely gone down to keep Wynn company so she wouldn’t get bored. Still, he had been gone for over half an hour–that was quite some dedication. 1
