---- Chapter 512 After a long pause, Wynn asked again, "Anything else?" Jordyn was sipping her drink and didn't
quite understand. "Hm? What do you mean?" "Things your dad did for your mom of his own accord." 1 Jordyn set
down her cup, frowning slightly. "No. After that, Mom caught a fever. Dad kept taking care of her, and he said
kids could get infected easily, so he didn't letnear her. @ "Lonly saw Mom again after she got better." Wynn
froze for a moment. "So, after your mom got sick...
It was your dad who looked after her?" 4 "Yeah." Lowering her gaze, Wynn asked, "That must have been because
your nana told him to, right?" Jordyn shook her head. "No. Mom had a fever even before sunrise yesterday. When
Dad found out she was sick, he looked after her himself while calling someone to arrange for Dr. Carter to come
by helicopter to treat her. 2 "Nana only learned Mom was ill after Dr. Carter arrived." ---- From what Jordyn said,
Wynn could already guess who this "Dr. Carter" was. He was, after all, quite well-known in Baumond Then, she
asked, "So, after Dr.
Carter arrived, it was still your dad who took care of your mom? Your dad spent the whole day yesterday looking

called Trevor. At first, he didn't pick up. 2 Worried something had happened, she called Jacob instead, who told
her Trevor had phoned him earlier to say he had things to deal with, so sof his scheduled work had been
postponed to today. 7 Hearing that, she thought something urgent must have cup. When she tried calling
again, Trevor finally answered.

he was stuck at the manor, all just so he could stay and take care of --—- Celeste? 5 Since Wynn stayed quiet,
eyes fixed on her journal, Jordyn assumed she was really focused on reading and didn't disturb her again. + But
soon, she grew bored and sighed while looking toward the door.
"Why is Dad taking so long on the phone?" 1 No sooner had she said it than Trevor pushed the door open and
cback in. He ruffled her hair at once. "Hungry?" "A little." After chatting briefly with Jordyn, he noticed Wynn
still staring silently at the journal. "Something you don't understand?" he asked. 2 His tone carried the obvious
meaning-if there was anything she didn't get, she could ask him. 1 Wynn turned her head toward him. 2 On the
surface, his attitude toward her seemed unchanged from before. But the way he treated Celeste now was

---- Seeing her lost in thought, Trevor asked, "What's wrong?" Wynn shook her head. She was about to say
