Chapter 470
At the Rodriguez residence , Celeste had already discussed the diamond auction with Betty before attending it .
Looking at the dazzling diamond that Celeste had spent a fortune acquire , Betty was silent for a long while before finally speaking .
“ Your mother truly did love diamonds … but if diamonds really have an effect , they could either help her regain her senses , or drive her deeper into madness .
“ So … Cel , keep the diamond safe for now . As for using it in your nether’s treatment , let’s wait and see how things go first . ”
Celeste had actually thought of this possibility too .
She agreed with her grandmother’s reasoning .
But such rare diamonds were hard to come by . If she missed this chance , who knew how long it would take for another opportunity ?
Besides , she wasn’t short on money at the moment , so even if it wouldn’t be used right away , she still went ahead and bought it .
Hearing her grandmother say this , she simply replied , “ Alright . ”
She hadn’t visited Martha at the hospital for the past couple of days . So , the next morning , she went again .
She arrived quite early , but when she got to the hospital , both Trevor and Miles were already there . Peter , however , was nowhere in sight .
When she knocked and entered , both Trevor and Miles looked toward her .
Celeste simply nodded at Trevor as a greeting and went straight inside to check on Martha .
Seeing Celeste completely ignore him , Miles widened his eyes and couldn’t help but mutter to Trevor , “ She really doesn’t take anyone seriously anymore , does she ? ” 46
Trevor sat down and casually responded with a noncommittal hum Then , he said , “ So ? ”
Miles didn’t answer .
A while later , Celeste came out of the ward . But she didn’t leave immediately . Instead , she looked at Trevor and asked , “ How has Grandma been these past two days ? ” 2
Trevor poured a glass of water and walked over to offer it to her .
Celeste shook her head , indicating she didn’t want it . ( 2
Trevor didn’t insist and set the glass down before replying , “ She’s shown some improvement . According to the doctors , she might regain consciousness in a few days . ”
“ Alright , got it . ” With that , Celeste said nothing more and turned to leave .
Just then , Trevor said , “ Jo’s gone for training . She’ll be back tomorrow . ”
She wasn’t particularly interested in Jordyn’s whereabouts . ( 3
But since Miles was right there , eyes darting between her and Trevor with an obvious look of gossip all over his face , she decided not to respond . 2
She simply left behind a brief “ Got it ” and walked away without looking back . 2
Miles watched her leave and didn’t turn away until her figure disappeared from view .
Then he looked at Trevor and said , “ I’ve noticed … now that you two are getting divorced , your relationship actually seems better

than before . ”
Trevor , typing away on his laptop , didn’t even look up . He gave an ambiguous reply , “ Is that so ? ”
Most couples tear each other apart during a divorce . What was happening between these two was rather rare .
But Miles didn’t say that out loud .
He suddenly seemed to think of something and said , “ Whatever the case , you two have jo between you . Though she did make mistakes back then , it’s all in the past . 1
“ Since she’s let go now , and if you can also let things go for Jo’s sake , then … There really isn’t some deep hatred between you that can’t be resolved .
“ For Jo’s sake , maybe it’s not such a bad idea for you to get along moving forward … ”
Trevor didn’t respond .
Miles looked at him , unsure what he was thinking .
But since Trevor didn’t say anything , Miles couldn’t keep pushing either – so he just shut his mouth in silence . 7
