When Celeste came out of the restroom, ten minutes had already passed.

After having dinner with Lottie, she suddenly felt the urge to visit the nursing home.

But remembering Isabelle’s condition and the director’s instructions that she shouldn’t see familiar people, she hesitated.

She had already driven to the entrance of the nursing home, but in the end, she didn’t go inside and just drove back home.

Once she got home, she locked herself in her room and focused on her work. She wasn’t sure how much time had passed when her phone rang.

The call naturally disconnected. However, a few minutes later, he called again.

She still didn’t answer.

Shortly after, a message from Trevor came through: “Grandma wants us to go back to Fleming Manor for dinner.”

Celeste didn’t reply.

On the other side, Trevor saw that she hadn’t responded and silently stared at his phone for a moment.
