Celeste didn’t care about anyone as she rushed inside like a madwoman while praying to God for her grandma's safety. Some people stopped and stared at her but she didn’t care. She reached the reception and finally stopped running. She didn’t know what to do next as she didn’t know on which ward her grandma was admitted. Celeste looked around helplessly and that's when her eyes landed on Flynn, her neighbour and Asher's dad. Without wasting any time Celeste hastily rushed towards him. Flynn also noticed Celeste coming towards him so he excused himself from the nurse he was talking to and made his way towards Celeste. "Celeste! When did you come?" He asked with a surprised tone, as soon as Celeste covered the distance between them.

"So Ms Rivera, tell me more about yourself and your family." Celeste looked at the direction from where the words came from and found it was Benhan Lloyd. He was smiling at her while waiting for her answer. Suddenly the room filled with a chilling aura and Liam's whole body turned cold. He silently glared at his food without eating. Celeste didn’t notice the change in Liam's expression and smiled at Benham softly before answering."Well there's nothing special about me to mention. I'm just an ordinary person who moved here 8 months ago for work and I have no one to call a family." Celeste finished with a soft smile. Benham looked at her with a sympathetic smile which Celeste hated. Meanwhile Liam sat there feeling numb. He didn’t know why, when she said she had no one to call a family pained him.

"Well then listen. I didn’t want to marry you either but my grandma wanted me to. I didn't have any problem with the contract either as I understood you were also in the same situation as me. But after I married you everything slowly changed. Your family became my own and you too. I had no one to call mine from my childhood. I had no friends because my grandma was afraid people would hurt me and didn’t let me go out much. I had only my grandpa and grandma. When grandpa died, I still had my grandma. Then you came into my life and living with you made me fall in love with you. I fell in love with your gentleness, your kindness, your beautiful face, your smile and everything. I thought maybe you at least liked me. So I decided to plan a surprise for you and confess to you. But what had I got? A divorce paper!
