True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 1505

"What do you mean you're fine? How is this fine?" Gary couldn't bear to scold her, but he started to yell when he saw how stubborn she was.

Celeste shivered and looked very embarrassed.

Gary continued, "Your face is as pale as a ghost's. Is that fine?

"I'm sure you haven't had a meal since you've returned from Boston, yet you tell me that you're fine? How do you expect me to believe you?"

Celeste's heart tightened. She actually hadn't eaten anything.

She hadn't an appetite and couldn't eat anything. Both her heart and her body felt terrible.

"I might have believed you if you went back to the house in London and allowed the butler and caretaker to look after you. But, instead, what do I see?

"I see you, just lying here in the dormitory with a deathly pale face, without anything to eat or drink. How can you tell me that you're fine? How can I believe you?"

Gary became more agitated as he spoke. He stared at her with a pair of bloodshot eyes that were filled with intense pain.

He was full of regret and guilt. He was even more distressed seeing her in her current state.

He didn't want to yell at her, but she was abusing herself while saying that she was fine.

"You're torturing yourself." He stared painfully into Celeste's eyes. "Ask yourself truthfully whether this is self-abuse."

Celeste's body stiffened from his uproar. She stared blankly at him, unsure of what to say.

Perhaps he was right. She wasn't doing well.

She didn't want to quarrel either as she was way too tired.

Then, she said to Gary in a weak voice, "Alright, I admit that I'm not fine. I don't have much strength, but I really want to get better. Can you leave so that I feel some relief? I've always managed to endure it, but whenever I look at you, the pain doubles."

She didn't want to say that so harshly, but she'd be much too upset if she didn't.

Gary's brows knitted together and a look of intense agony flashed across his eyes.

He was stunned for a moment. The anger within his eyes extinguished instantly.

He could only stare at her. His bloodshot eyes looked as deep as the ocean.

He just looked at her silently.

She was nervous and thought that she might have gone too far, but she didn't know why she had said that.

"Celeste, I can't leave," Gary tried to speak patiently, "You need me right now, more than ever. I cannot leave you. I need to take care of you."

"But with you here, I'll feel even worse. I'll be reminded of my baby." She suddenly peered out the window and tried her best to hold back her tears. She didn't want to cry because only the weak did.

Upon mentioning the baby, Gary's heart tightened up and felt even more upset.

He felt terrible, too.

"Celeste, prove to me that you'll be fine for at least a week. I'll leave once you're doing better," Gary said in a deep voice. He chose to compromise.

"I really don't want to see you anymore," Celeste whispered with her undisguised pain.

Gary's brows furrowed as he tried his best to suppress his emotions. "Celeste, you know that I've never had to beg anyone for anything. I'm begging you just this once to take care of your body. Please let me stay for just one week to take care of you, is that alright? "

He was begging her?

It was true that he had never begged before, but he did it this time.

Celeste knew that they would definitely end up quarreling if this continued, there was no need for that. He had already agreed to the breakup, so she figured that it should be fine for him to insist she take care of herself.

Celeste thought about it rationally and understood that this was out of Gary's responsibility as a man.

Celeste nodded and said, "Okay, a week it is. I hope you keep to your promise and leave after that. I really don't want to see you again."

Her tone was calm but painful. Every word that reached Gary's ears felt heavy, like lead.

Gary stiffened on the spot. His eyes were filled with pain as he looked at her.

When their eyes met, the two of them looked at each other, but there was nothing to talk about.
