The Breaking Point of Love novel Chapter 412

That night, just as Celeste was getting ready to leave work, she received a call from Jordyn.

Since tomorrow was Saturday, Celeste guessed Jordyn probably wanted to visit her. But she wouldn't be free.

She had plans to visit the nursing home with Betty and the others to discuss her mother's treatment and medication with the doctor.

So, she didn't answer Jordyn's call.

On Saturday, when she arrived at the nursing home, Celeste found that Isabelle looked even thinner than the last time they had seen her. Her hair was dry, and her face had lost all color.

The doctor explained, "The psychiatric medication she was on earlier has a certain level of toxicity to the liver and kidneys.

"It wasn't an issue before, but given her current organ failure, it's no longer suitable. So, we've stopped part of her medication.

"Her mental state has been very poor these past few days, and on top of that, she's taking antibiotics for organ failure. Her body is under tremendous stress..."

Celeste tightened her grip on her bag and nodded in understanding.

Afterward, she and Ivan talked with the doctor for a long time. They only left the nursing home at noon.

As they were leaving, Jordyn called again. But, Celeste pressed her lips together and declined the call.

After that, Jordyn didn't try again.

However, that afternoon, Lottie, who had just returned to the country the day before, called to invite Celeste out shopping.

She wasn't in the mood and didn't really want to go out. Plus, Betty's health hadn't been good lately, so she preferred to stay home and keep her company.

But Betty patted the back of her hand and said, "Don't keep everything bottled up. It's good to go out and clear your mind."

"...Okay," Celeste replied. So, she changed clothes and headed out.

Lottie had been busy abroad these past few months with her fashion shows.

Both of them had been caught up in their own affairs and hadn't had much time to keep in touch.

After meeting up and chatting for a while, Lottie finally learned about Isabelle's condition.

She immediately lost interest in her milk tea, clearly affected, and after a long pause, she said gently, "Your mother... She's going to get better."

Celeste was praying for the same. However, her mother's health really was deteriorating fast. She and the rest of the family knew the chances of recovery were slim.

"If I'd known, I wouldn't have asked you out—"

"It's fine." Celeste shook her head and was just about to speak when she glanced to the side and suddenly spotted two familiar figures.
