True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz)
Chapter 1502

Gary stood still at the door.

He stood in front of the ward rooted to the ground, his mind filled with regret.

He felt extremely guilty looking at the woman lying motionless on the bed through the glass.

Reality really gave him a heavy blow.

He met Janice when he was walking towards the apartment this afternoon. Back then, Janice had joked around with him.

Gary always thought that it was terrible for a man to constantly be disgusted with a woman, not to mention that Janice had brought him back that day. Therefore, he thought that they could still be friends. Furthermore, Janice was a friend of Lowell's, so he would be seeing her often in the future. Hence, it did not matter if he was a little polite. However, he did not expect his politeness to become the reason Celeste got hurt.

He was extremely frustrated.

What was even more unexpected was Celeste's pregnancy. It caught him off guard that the child

was lost before he even knew about it.

Gary regretted that he was being difficult and hadn't called her for the past three weeks.

He should have insisted on going to London that night. At that time, Celeste did not want him to come, so he obeyed her wishes and did not go. He should have discovered it earlier. If he had found out about it earlier, maybe the child could have been saved.

Gary suddenly thought of what Celeste said. She seemed to have said something about her hormones.

At that time, he didn't think much about it.

They had been together for more than a month and spent almost every night together for nearly two months. How could they not have children?

Sometimes, there were no precautions as he was too indulgent with himself and did not really want to use a condom.

Now, it seemed that he was really too selfish. It was because of this that his beloved suffered such pain.

Celeste had witnessed such a scene as she arrived in Boston and it just so happened to cause the miscarriage.

Gary felt that he deserved it. This was punishment from the heavens. His eyes were filled with pain.

He didn't dare to enter the ward and could only look at Celeste from afar. He stared at his beloved through the glass without even blinking.

He was afraid that Celeste would get angry if he walked in.

Gary shivered. He felt scared for the first time.

Celeste's ashen face was imprinted in his mind. It made him remorseful.

The word "scumbag" flashed through his mind for the first time, and he felt exactly like one.

Meanwhile, Celeste was lying on the hospital bed, her gaze distant and unfocused. She emptied everything in her mind and looked at the ceiling in a daze.

No one knew what she was thinking. Her eyes were fixed there for a long time. If it were not for her trembling long eyelashes which indicated that she was awake, people would think she was a statue lying on the bed.

Gary felt even worse watching this.

Lowell saw such a scene when he came back. The person inside was lying in silence.

Likewise, the person outside was just standing there quietly.

The two of them were separated by the door of the ward. One of them did not go in, and the other probably didn't even realize the other's presence.

Gary had obviously been in the same position for a long time.

Lowell walked over and glanced at him. He asked, "Have you not entered at all?"

Gary didn't say a word. He just stood there like a pillar.

Lowell had changed into some clean clothes. He hesitated for a while and knocked on the door.

There was no reply from the room. Lowell hesitated for a moment and walked in.

He went to the bed and looked at Celeste lying on the bed. He then said in a gentle voice, "Celeste, are you okay?"

Perhaps because the voice was clear and warm, Celeste was no longer as alert as before. She then turned her gaze to the person who came in. The moment she saw Lowell, she forced a smile on her face. This pale smile was even more heart-wrenching to watch.

Lowell felt really upset when he saw her like this.

"Thank you for taking me to the hospital. Otherwise, I really wouldn't know what to do."

"Don't say that. It's what I should do," Lowell said with a comforting smile, "You should have told me you were coming. At the very least, I could've picked you up at the airport."

Celeste explained softly, "It's because I'm pregnant that I don't know what to do. I wanted to talk to Gary in person, but I didn't expect things to turn out like this. I suppose it's all destined." "You're still too young. This is just an accident," Lowell comforted her, "You can get over it. Just take care of yourself."

"Yes, I will," Celeste spoke very seriously, "By the way, have you already told Gary?"

Lowell was stunned and nodded, "Yes, I told him."

Celeste looked at the door of the ward. Gary was still standing there in a daze.

However, he did not dare to come in. His eyes were filled with extreme agony. The two of them looked at each other from far apart, but Celeste could still feel his emotions from inside the room. Celeste lowered her gaze and said softly, "It's good that you've told him. He has the right to know. I would have told him anyway, but this should be kept within the three of us. I don't want Aunt Grace and Uncle Jones to find out, and I'm also hoping that it's kept from Ernest and Maria. Is that alright?"

Lowell was stunned for a moment and suddenly understood.

This girl was strong-willed.

She didn't want everyone to worry about her, and she didn't want the Jones family or his sister to feel guilty about it.

Lowell nodded and agreed, "Don't worry about that. I won't say a word."

"Thank you," Celeste looked at him and asked, "Let Gary come in."

Celeste knew that she had to face it and escaping was not an option. She was no longer a child, especially after this. She understood clearly that she was already an adult, and she had even almost become a mother. If she was not strong enough, she would lose her child again.

She had to become stronger in the future.

Therefore, she chose to face Gary half an hour after the surgery.

Lowell nodded and said to her, "Okay."

Then, he turned and walked to the door, "Come in, you have heard Celeste's words."

Gary's body froze for a moment before he walked in with heavy steps.

He stood in front of Celeste's sickbed and lowered his head as he gazed at her. He did not dare to look straight into her eyes because he was afraid that he would lose control of his emotions after taking a glance. He wanted to hold her in his arms so much.

"Gary, I was pregnant. I'm sorry that I failed to save the child. I thought I could," Celeste squeezed out a smile, looking as though she was about to burst into tears at any moment, "You see, that's just how it is. We're destined to not be together."

Gary frowned and his eyes narrowed as he looked at Celeste, "It's my fault, Celeste."

"That's why, let's break up," Celeste was still smiling at him. No matter how ugly and pale her smile was, she still chose to send him off with a sweet smile.

Gary couldn't open his mouth. He wanted to say no.

But he knew that he was no longer qualified to do so.

In the end, he spat out the word with difficulty, "No!"

Celeste forced out an even grimmer smile as she muttered, "But I want to break up. When I saw you and Janice downstairs, I felt that you' re not as happy when you're with me. It's just like what I said in London. You're being pressured to be with me, and that in turn gives me pressure as well. See, that's why our child is gone. It's a sign from the heavens reminding us not to be together.

That's why I just want to break up. We shouldn't force ourselves to be together anymore. You don't have to treat me like a fool and I don't need to accompany you anymore. We'll go our separate ways. It's better for both of us."

Gary closed his eyes. He was trying to conceal the displeasure deep within.

Yet, he could not speak.

After a long time, he said through gritted teeth, "Take good care of yourself first. We can talk after that."

"I just want to break up," Celeste was determined.

"Even if you want to break up, it can wait until your body recovers," He said painfully.

"Hah!" Celeste laughed at herself, "I have nothing more to say. Breaking up is the best choice for the both of us. If you really lament for me, then let go of me."

She no longer had the courage to face this.

She was tired.

Gary froze when he saw her sorrow. He muttered, "Fine, I'll respect your choices, as long as you think it's for the best."

Celeste smiled in response to that, "Thank you. Separation would be the best option for both of us."
