# Chapter 63: A Tender Touch in a Cold World
Hello everyone, it’s me again! How are you all doing? Today I will continue to walk with you and review Chapter 63 of "The Breaking Point of Love"—a chapter that delicately balances tenderness and heartache, where a single caring gesture from one man stands in stark contrast to the cold indifference of another, and where a simple sprained ankle reveals so much about the true state of relationships.

The moment Matthias noticed Celeste stumble, he didn’t hesitate. He paused his conversation with Yale mid-sentence and walked straight toward her, his brow furrowed with concern. "Are you okay?"
Celeste shook her head, wincing slightly.
"Did you twist your ankle?" he asked, his voice soft but urgent.
"A little," she admitted, her ankle throbbing with pain. She knew it was likely sprained.
Seeing Matthias’s genuine worry warmed a corner of her heart—but it also stirred a bittersweet ache. She could feel the eyes of the crowd on her, judgmental and cold. They probably thought she had thrown herself into Trevor’s arms on purpose. Even now, as she stood there injured, they likely believed she deserved every bit of the pain.
And Trevor? He hadn’t even offered a steadying hand, let alone ask if she was all right. The only person in that entire hall who truly cared about her was Matthias.
"Let me take a look," he said.
"No need, I—" she started, but he ignored her protests.
Before she could finish, Matthias swept her off the ground effortlessly, carrying her away from the prying eyes. He set her down gently, knelt before her, and carefully removed her high heels. Lifting her leg, he saw the swelling on her ankle and immediately instructed the staff to call a doctor and bring a pair of flat shoes.
His open concern for Celeste caught many off guard. The onlookers exchanged surprised glances, some beginning to reconsider their earlier assumptions. Perhaps they had judged too quickly. Celeste and Matthias seemed to share a bond that was genuine and tender, untainted by pretense.
Wynn pressed her lips together and looked away, her gaze shifting to Trevor. But Trevor had noticed the closeness between Celeste and Matthias—he just didn’t care. He continued his conversation as if nothing had happened, utterly indifferent to the warmth being shared between his wife and another man. Seeing his apathy, Wynn’s tense expression relaxed, and she smiled, rejoining the chatter and dismissing Celeste from her thoughts.
Soon, the restaurant’s on-call doctor arrived, examined Celeste’s ankle, and prescribed medication. After the doctor left, Matthias insisted on applying the medicine himself. Celeste tried to take the bottle from him, but he shot her a stern look that silenced her protests. She sighed in surrender and let him tend to her.
When the staff returned with flat shoes, Celeste stood to test them. "It’s fine. I can walk," she said.
"Good," Matthias replied. But he knew better—she couldn’t possibly navigate the exhibition hall with her injury. He decided it was best for her to skip the rest of the event. He had already arranged for someone to record everything; she could review the footage later.
Though disappointed, Celeste agreed. Matthias informed the others, then left early to take her home. After dropping her off, he headed out to attend to his own matters.
Celeste, exhausted from the day’s events, planned to rest before discussing the assignments Mr. Newman had given them. She set her phone aside and was about to lie down when it rang.
An unfamiliar number.
After a moment’s hesitation, she answered. "Hello, who’s this?"
"It’s Beck Harper."
Celeste froze, then quickly sat up on the bed. "Mr. Harper?" She had been so busy that she’d completely forgotten about the morning’s incident.
"I’ve already arranged for your car to be taken care of," Beck said. "You can come pick it up later. Or, if you’re busy, I can have someone drive it back for you."
Celeste instinctively shook her head. "No need to trouble yourself. I’ll pick it up myself."
Her straightforward refusal was met with a brief silence on the other end.
"Mr. Harper?" she prompted.
"Alright. I’ll send you the contact information for the repair shop shortly."
"Thank you. I appreciate it."
Beck said nothing else and hung up. But with her injured ankle, Celeste couldn’t possibly pick up the car herself. After thinking it over, she decided to ask Matthias for help. He agreed, promising to bring the car back after finishing his work.
That evening, Celeste ordered takeout. Just as she finished eating, her phone rang again—this time, it was Jordyn.
"When are you coming home?" her daughter asked.
Celeste replied directly, "I sprained my ankle and can’t walk easily. I’m staying elsewhere to recover, so I won’t be coming home. You should go to bed early."
Jordyn gasped. "What? Mom, you hurt your ankle? Is it serious? Does it hurt a lot?"
"It hurts a bit, but it’s not serious. It’ll be fine in a few days."
"Alright," Jordyn said, relief mixed with concern. "Where are you staying, Mom? Dad’s coming home later. We’ll come visit you tomorrow."
Celeste shook her head. "No need. I can take care of myself. You just focus on school."
"Okay."
They chatted a bit longer before ending the call. Later, when Trevor arrived home, Jordyn immediately called out, "Dad, Mom hurt her ankle! She’s staying somewhere else to recover!"
Trevor gave a calm "Hmm," then removed his impeccably tailored suit jacket and handed it to Peter, the butler. "I know," he said.
"Huh?" Jordyn looked up in surprise. "How do you know, Dad? Did Mom tell you?"
Trevor sat down and took the glass of water Hannah handed him. "No. I saw it happen myself."
"You saw it?" Jordyn blinked in confusion. "You were there when Mom got hurt?"
Trevor gave a nonchalant "Hmm."
Jordyn seemed to connect the dots. "Oh, right! Mom works at your company, so you must’ve been there when she got hurt, right?"
"No," Trevor replied evenly. "Mom doesn’t work at my company anymore."
"What?" Jordyn looked up, puzzled. "Then where does Mom work now?"
"Somewhere she likes," Trevor replied.
"Oh… Okay."
After finishing his water, Trevor placed the glass down and stood up. Before heading upstairs, he ruffled Jordyn’s hair. "Sleep early."
"I will!" Jordyn responded cheerfully.
Around 8:00 PM, Matthias returned with Celeste’s car. She took the keys and asked, "How much was the repair? I’ll pay you back."
Matthias sat down on the couch and shrugged. "How would I know?"
"Huh?" Celeste frowned. "How did you get the car without paying?"
"No one mentioned payment. They just handed over the car when they heard it was yours."
Celeste froze. So, Beck had paid for it? She hadn’t expected that at all.
"What’s wrong?" Matthias asked, noticing her change in expression.
"Nothing," she replied, shaking her head.
"Then let’s get started on the assignment. I want to finish it and get some rest. I’ve been running around all day. I’m exhausted!"
He was referring to the exhibit review Zachary had assigned them that morning.
"Alright," Celeste said. But before starting, she thought of the repair bill. "I’ll make a quick call first."
"Go ahead."
Celeste immediately dialed Beck’s number. The call was picked up almost instantly.
"Hello?"
"Mr. Harper, it’s me, Celeste."
"I know. What’s the matter?"
"It’s about the car. I picked it up, but I wanted to ask—did you cover the repair cost? If so, how much was it? I’ll transfer the money to you right away."

## Reader's Impressions & Star Rating
This chapter is a masterclass in quiet emotional contrasts. We see Matthias’s gentle care, Beck’s unexpected generosity, and Trevor’s chilling indifference—all woven into a single day. The tenderness between Matthias and Celeste is so palpable it almost hurts, especially when juxtaposed with Trevor’s dismissive “I know” to his own daughter about his wife’s injury. The phone call from Beck adds an intriguing layer of mystery—why is this powerful man so eager to help her? And Jordyn’s innocent confusion about her parents’ relationship tugs at the heartstrings. This chapter leaves you aching for Celeste’s loneliness while also giving you hope that maybe, just maybe, she is starting to see who truly values her.
⭐ **Rating: 4.7 / 5 Stars** – Beautifully emotional and deeply revealing.
## Next Chapter Prediction
Celeste is about to call Beck to repay him for the car repair—but his answer might surprise her. Is Beck simply being polite, or is he slowly stepping into a more significant role in her life? Meanwhile, Trevor’s coldness is only widening the rift, and Matthias’s warmth is becoming harder to ignore. I predict that next chapter will deepen the mystery around Beck’s intentions, and perhaps we’ll see Celeste starting to question the life she’s trapped in—and whether she has the courage to break free.
