Gary was still in a daze. He couldn't believe what he had heard.
He couldn't control his emotions as he stared at the door of the intensive care unit. His eyes were tearful and he felt bad.
"This is unreal," He murmured in a low voice.
Lowell's voice came from behind, "You can deceive yourself all you want to while she's in there. Do whatever you want."
Gary was deeply shocked and terrified. He turned around and stood in front of Lowell. His eyes widened due to his disbelief as he mumbled, "Lowell, did she say that she was pregnant?"
Lowell looked at him and nodded, "She's pregnant. She came here with the diagnosis papers. She probably wanted to talk to you about this, but she saw something she shouldn't. I don't know what you were doing with Janice, but you should know better."
Gary was stunned. He stood there stiffly and his face tensed up. He felt a sharp pain in his heart as if it had been cut by a knife.
After a long time, he walked towards the door of the intensive care unit. He stood there and prayed from the bottom of his heart, hoping that Celeste would be fine.
He looked much like an old and worn-down statue, looking both lost and forlorn.
Looking at such a scene, Janice was also stunned and didn't know what to do, but Lowell didn't even bat an eye at her.
Janice looked at Lowell, the blood on his clothes frightening to even watch.
Half an hour later.
Celeste was pushed out and her face was paler than before. The doctor apologized to them when he came out, "I'm sorry, the child could not be saved. It was already gone when she was sent here."
Gary's mind was buzzing. He rushed over to look at the pale girl on the hospital bed. Her brows were tightly knitted together as she was still in great pain. Gary felt remorseful as he held Celeste's hand.
Just then, Celeste seemed to have woken up and saw him.
Subconsciously, she retracted her hand, and such a reflexive action left Gary stunned. He didn't know how to react.
He gulped and spoke with great difficulty, "Celeste, it's me."
Celeste tilted her head slightly to avoid looking at him.
Her heart was in such a state of agony that words could not describe how she felt. She didn't want to talk about it anymore. She knew that the child was gone as the doctor had already informed her in the intensive care unit.
She was very sad.
She was so sorrowful that she wished to die with the child.
It turned out that she wanted the child all along.
Celeste was hesitant before, but she could not withstand the loss once it actually happened.
She did not know that she would behave like this. Perhaps humans were really unpredictable, including herself.
She suddenly regretted coming to Boston. Her child might still be alive if she didn't come here, but even so, things were unpredictable.
Her heart was aching and the pain numbed her thoughts.
When she turned around, she saw Janice standing at the end of the bed. She closed her eyes in agony the moment she saw Janice as she no longer wanted to see both Gary and Janice.
She didn't forget about Janice's declaration that she wouldn't give up on Gary.
Moreover, Gary's attitude toward Janice was ambiguous. She was too tired trying to bother about such matters.
After losing her child, she did not want to think about anything else.
Soon, Celeste was pushed into a ward.
When the doctor asked if there was anyone she wanted to meet, she denied it and told him that she just wanted to be alone.
Gary, Lowell and Janice were all left outside the ward. In the meantime, Celeste was lying inside alone motionless as if she was asleep.
Gary was standing at the door. He was too afraid to enter.
Her actions just now were still clear in his mind. It scared him.
