As Isabelle's condition was in the early stages and her organ failure not yet severe, Lauren and her medical team were able to make several adjustments based on her overall health and condition.
In the end, they managed to find a treatment plan that could stabilize her illness.
When the news came, the tension that had been gripping Celeste and Betty finally eased. The dark cloud that had hung over the Rodriguez family for half a month had finally lifted.
That night, overwhelmed with joy, Betty even cooked dinner to celebrate with everyone.
After dinner, just as Celeste sat down with Betty in the living room, Celeste's phone rang—it was a call from Jordyn.
It had actually been over a month since mother and daughter last spoke.
Strictly speaking, Celeste should have answered the call the last time Jordyn tried. But at that time, she had just found out about Isabelle's organ failure. Her mood was terrible, so she didn't answer the call.
Now…
When she saw the caller ID, Betty said, "Answer it."
Though she didn't say it, she cared deeply about the bond between Jordyn and Wynn.
She had noticed that Celeste hadn't let Jordyn visit lately, and she'd already guessed why—Celeste was worried that seeing Jordyn might further aggravate her already fragile emotions.
Although she had never truly blamed Jordyn for her closeness with Wynn, the truth was that if she had seen her during that difficult period, it probably would have triggered bitterness and resentment.
Now that her daughter's illness had a glimmer of hope, of course she wanted Celeste and Jordyn to reconcile.
Celeste looked at the name on her phone screen. Then, she picked up after a few seconds.
…
Jordyn had planned to try again in a few days the last time Celeste didn't answer. But Trevor, who used to encourage her to call her mother whenever she missed her, had told her not to disturb Celeste as she was very busy.
