True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 1312

Gary couldn't stop coughing the minute he started. It took him an entire minute to finally calm down.

Grace was frightened by this scene. She had never seen her son cough so badly before.

Her pale fingers tightened around the phone unconsciously.

Meanwhile, Celeste's entire body stiffened up and she stared at Grace's phone in a daze.

Her face looked ashen, and there was a trace of anxiousness and worry deep down in her pupils.

"Why do you have such a bad cough? Have you gone to see a doctor?" Grace asked with concern, "I've told Lowell to find a butler for you, but he was not willing to. I can't believe that Lowell didn't even tell us that you have fallen so sick."

Although Grace hoped that her children would experience the cruel world on their own, she couldn't bear to see her children actually suffering as a mother.

"I'm fine, mom," After coughing for some time, Gary flashed her a comforting smile, "It's just a cold. It's not a huge problem."

"It's such a bad cough, but you say that it is not a serious problem?" Grace was worried that it might be pneumonia or some other chronic disease.

"I'm really fine," Gary apologized, "I'm sorry for making you worried," After that, he continued coughing.

This time, it took him unexpectedly long to finally stop.

Each cough of Gary's seemed violent, as though he was about to cough his entire lungs out.

This was extremely worrying.

Gary had yet to recover and seemed to have gotten worse. Did he not see a doctor at all?

Celeste's heart tightened. She lowered her worried gaze and felt uneasy.

How could she forget how arrogant Gary was? Perhaps he fell ill because of their fight the other day.

Was she overcomplicating things? Was she the reason that caused him to fall ill?

Maybe. Celeste had a guess that she was probably the reason.

"It sounds very serious," Grace became more worried, and her tone grew even more anxious, "You're coughing so bad that you can't even breathe."

"It's alright, it's just a cough," Gary comforted his mother once more, "I've already gone to see a doctor."

"Really?" Grace frowned, "I'll call Lowell later. If you lie to me, I'll get angry."

"I'm not," Gary assured her, "I've really gone to consult a doctor."

"Okay, I'll trust you," Grace nodded and stared at her son. It was only when some colour returned to Gary's face that she felt relieved.

"Mommy, why did you suddenly video call me?" Gary returned to the topic, "If there's something you need to tell me, just go ahead."

"I just want to tell you... Oh, forget it. See for yourself," Grace felt that it would be better to let him see for himself.

Therefore, Grace tilted her phone's camera towards Celeste. Celeste's figure appeared on the screen.

Gary was initially not taking it very seriously until his mother's worried face switched to Celeste's face. Gary thought that he was mistaken.

Gary's entire body froze and he frowned. After taking another glance, he was certain that the person was indeed Celeste.

At that moment, Celeste had her head slightly lowered and didn't look straight at the camera.

She probably didn't realize that Grace had pointed the camera at her.

Seeing as Celeste was completely immersed in her own thoughts, Gary felt very frustrated. His handsome face turned gloomy.

Grace shot a look at Celeste and reminded her, "Celeste, it's your turn. Do you want to say hello?"

"What?" Celeste finally reacted. She looked up and saw Gary on the screen.

Their eyes met.

Gary's gaze was cold as he stared sharply at Celeste. It was frighteningly harsh.

Celeste was taken aback. All the words she had prepared to tell Gary when she met him were all stuck in her throat. She couldn't even say anything.

Gary did not speak either. His gaze remained fixed on Celeste, but he asked Grace, "Mom, are you in London?"

His voice echoed in Celeste's ears. It was indifferent and unfriendly.

He ignored her.

She was even more upset and the atmosphere grew heavy, so much so that Celeste wanted to flee.

Just then, Grace passed her phone to her and answered casually, "Yes, I'm staying in London for a few days."

"Oh," Gary responded. His gaze never left Celeste's face but he said nothing to her. It was as if he was ignoring this person.
