True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 1503

Gary agreed to her proposal to break up.

So far, neither of them had said a word. Gary wanted to say something to Celeste, but he stopped when he realized that she wasn't looking at him.

Gary couldn't express his guilt towards Celeste with words. He felt that this was normal no matter how harsh Celeste treated him.

He had expected Celeste to ignore him, but even then he would still take care of her.

He had to fulfill his duty as a man.

Gary felt very sad looking at her haggard face. He didn't know how to apologize or to express his regret. He just wanted to take good care of her.

When Lowell returned, he brought along a container of chicken soup and some bread.

Gary met Lowell at the door, neither of them entered the room.

Lowell looked into his tired eyes and asked, "How did it go?"

Gary shook his head, "She wants to break up." Lowell was stunned. He had expected this to happen. "What did you say? Are you agreeing to Celeste's suggestion to break up just like that?"

"I can only agree for now. Otherwise, she'd get very emotional, but I won't break up with her."

"Yeah, you can't break up." Lowell reached out and patted him on the shoulder. "Cheer up. You look pretty haggard. You ought to take care of your patient with some enthusiasm."

"There's no way for me to be enthusiastic." Gary forced a smile.

"Do you want me to come in?" Lowell asked.

"Go ahead. She hasn't spoken to me for the entire day. I'm worried that she'll get depressed if this continues." Gary turned to look at Celeste, who was in a daze in the ward.

She looked like a soulless puppet on the hospital bed. She was barely moving.

He was very worried, but didn't know how to speak to Celeste. There was only silence whenever he tried to speak. She completely ignored him.

Gary somehow felt that Celeste might be able to say a few words if Lowell came in.

Lowell nodded and said, "Well, I'll go in and prepare some food for her. If you have something else to do, go ahead but come back later to take over."

"I want to smoke." Gary frowned.

Hearing this, Lowell opened his mouth to speak but kept quiet in the end. It was rare for him to see Gary behave like this.

He had never been so haggard or suffered such a loss in his entire life. This was a critical blow to him.

Lowell pushed the door open and walked into the ward.

When he saw how haggard Celeste looked on the hospital bed, he couldn't help but feel sorry for her. He placed the lunch box by the bedside table, then pulled over a stool to sit down. He then looked at Celeste.

She came back to her senses after realizing that something was different. She looked up and saw Lowell. She was stunned but still smiled at him.

Lowell sighed inside. Celeste still maintained her basic sense of courtesy and etiquette. She really was a well-educated child.

"Do you feel better now?" Lowell asked.

"Much better. Thank you for your concern, Mr. Jones," Celeste said still smiling.

"Don't call me Mr. Jones. I'm just a few years older than you guys. I'm about the same age as Gary and Ernest. Just call me Lowell. Of course, if that feels inappropriate to you, you can call me Uncle.

Anything's fine."

Celeste said, "I'll call you Uncle then. I still owe Uncle Jones and Aunt Smith a favor."

"Yes, they've done me a favor as well," Lowell said.

"Uncle Jones and Aunt Smith are very nice people. You are all very nice," Celeste said softly.
