Chapter 47 Injured 

The more Celeste thought about it, the more unsettled she became. How could there be nails at the entrance of the Hartley Villa’s gate? 

She looked at her injured knee, and her gaze grew colder. 

Elias‘ death was definitely connected to Charlie. 

Charlie was testing her. 

Charlie had probably learned about the map too. 

Celeste ate her noodles while thinking. When she recalled how Madelynn secretly targeted her, she felt it wasn’t just because of Nathaniel. There had to be another reason. 

Celeste finished her noodles, then slowly went to the backyard to perform massage on Griffin. 

As the top heir of the Imperial Estate, she had been undergoing special training every day since she was three years old. All her skills were top–notch. 

She arrived at the basement. The iris recognition system activated, and the heavy glass door automatically opened. 

Rebecca walked out excitedly. “Ms. Hartley, you’re here,” she said.

Her big eyes were filled with anticipation as she looked at

Celeste’s belly. In a few months, she wouldn’t be as free. She was really looking forward to the babies being born. 

Celeste saw her eager eyes and couldn’t help but smile. 

“Rebecca, there are still a few months to go,” she said. 

“For me, it will pass quickly. Ms. Hartley, I’ll prepare everything you need for the birth in advance. When the babies are born, let me take care of them,” Rebecca said. 

Celeste was a top genius. Her children were bound to be very smart. She was determined to study their little brains carefully and contribute to the great cause of science. 

Of course, she couldn’t let Celeste know about this dangerous. idea, or she wouldn’t have the chance. 

Rebecca’s pure and beautiful big eyes were full of laughter. 

Celeste didn’t know what Rebecca was thinking. She went straight to Griffin’s bedside. Seeing that he still had no response, she frowned slightly. “Still no response?” she said. 

“Yes! I read to him every day. His fingers occasionally move. But if we hope for him to wake up, it might take a year or two. He doesn’t have much of a will to live,” Rebecca said. 

The most terrifying thing for a person is the lack of a will to 

survive.

That was Griffin’s situation. 

It didn’t matter when he would wake up anymore.

Because he was Nathaniel’s brother and because of his words, “Celeste, don’t let anyone know I’m still alive,” she had fought desperately to bring him back from the brink of death. 

After the massage, Celeste handed Rebecca a note. “Rebecca, this is a formula for treating asthma. When you have time over the next few days, make it,” she said. 

Rebecca happily took the note and nodded with a smile. “Ms. Hartley, when do you need it?” she said. 

Celeste thought for a moment. She had told the Rodriguez family to come find her in half a year. “In six months. No rush. I’m just giving it to you now so I don’t forget,” she said. 

“Hehe… Great, I’ve got something to do now. By the way, Ms. Hartley, let’s go check on the babies,” Rebecca said. 

Rebecca looked longingly at Celeste’s belly. 

Celeste saw the prayerful look in her eyes and laughed in exasperation. “Rebecca, I can tell from your expression that want to study their little brains,” she said.

Rebecca’s heart suddenly tightened. Celeste had figured her out. 

Boohoo…

She just thought the little ones would be so adorable.

Rebecca scratched her head in embarrassment. “Ms. Hartley, I just really love kids. When the babies are born, let me take care of them. I’ll do a great job. I have experience,” she said. 

Celeste smiled helplessly. “Alright, alright, you can take care of them. It’s late. Go to sleep,” she said. 

After saying this, Celeste slowly left the basement. 

Back in her room, she glanced around the palace–like luxury of the room. Her slightly empty gaze was full of sadness. She pushed down the irritation in her heart and went to take a bath. 

After her bath, she wrapped herself in a robe. The weather had turned cold lately. Afraid of catching a cold, she dried her hair first. 

After four months, her belly was changing every day, growing quickly. 

Now it was slightly rounded. With twins, it would be even more obvious in another half month. 

Luckily, winter made her not want to go out much, so she could stay home and focus on her pregnancy. 

Celeste returned to bed to sleep. Her drowsiness made it almost impossible for her to have insomnia. 

Early the next morning, Celeste was awakened by the ringing of

Her eyes were still sleepy as she reached for the phone and answered it. 

She didn’t check the number before answering.
