True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 1709

Gary glared at Heinz. He thought that the old man was being a busybody. It was clear that the sudden request for juice would make Celeste and Grace suspicious.

In order to cover up his tracks, Gary added, "Celeste, you should make a glass of honey lemon for Heinz as well. He's been constipated for a few days, and I heard it helps. Get me a cup of juice while you're at it, will you?"

Heinz's lips twitched and he refuted, "Who says I'm constipated?"

It seemed that his son was not one to take anything lying down.

Heinz went upstairs with Grace in his arms.

Celeste prepared Heinz some honey lemon and a glass of lemonade for Grace. Then, she brought the two glasses into their room. After that, she walked back to the kitchen to grab some juice for Gary and brought it back to their room.

When she passed Gary the glass, he downed half of it right away.

It was only in the brightly-lit room that Celeste noticed that Gary looked a lot paler than usual. It was very unusual.

"Why do you suddenly look so pale? Are you feeling unwell?" Celeste looked at him cautiously. She thought it was odd that Heinz had asked her to get Gary some juice.

"I'm fine. I was just arguing with Heinz, so I'm a bit fired up at the moment," Gary explained.

"But you would be red with anger if that were the case. You look really pale as if you've lost a lot of blood," Celeste said with a frown.

Gary avoided her gaze and tried to laugh it off. "I promise it's nothing, okay? I'm going to take a shower now. In the meantime, can you help me grab my pyjamas?"

"Alright," Celeste nodded and cast a suspicious look at Gary's back as he walked into the bathroom.

After Gary finished showering and got changed, the two laid in bed in each other's arms.

That night, Gary did not move an inch in his sleep, which was rare.

Celeste knew that something felt off about Gary. However, when she wanted to ask him about it, she found that he had buried his face in her neck and fell asleep.

She looked down at his handsome face and found that he looked exhausted. Furthermore, he looked a lot paler than usual.

Celeste tried her best to not disrupt Gary. She quietly turned off the lights and got back into bed next to him.

The next day, Celeste and Gary made their way to the company.

When they arrived at the company, Celeste found that Alex kept glancing over at Gary worriedly. Alex even nagged at Gary continuously, "Why don't you rest for the day? You didn't have to come to work today. You should take some time off to rest."

"Uncle Logan, I'm fine. Relax," Gary refuted calmly.

Even after that, Alex cast concerned glances at Gary from time to time.

Celeste immediately found it odd. As such, she managed to find a chance to corner Alex.

"Uncle Logan, is Gary hiding something from me? He's been looking really pale and tired since yesterday. Do you know what's going on?" Celeste cut straight to the chase.

She had come to ask Alex about Gary. Alex could not help but admire the girl's attention to detail. He thought for a moment and sighed, "Miss Celeste, I'm glad you asked. I was about to tell you this in private anyway."

Celeste's heart quickened at that. She asked nervously, "What happened?"

Alex began to explain, "Cindy lost a lot of blood last night and was in a critical condition. Furthermore, the blood bank didn't have enough blood for her, so Master Gary had to donate two bags of his own blood to her."

"Oh my goodness!" Celeste exclaimed and covered her mouth with one hand in shock.

"Cindy's fine now. Master Gary was a little dizzy after donating all that blood yesterday. It was quite a large amount, so that might explain why he seemed much paler than usual since yesterday."

"Why would he give his blood to Cindy?" Celeste's heart ached for Gary.

"What's your guess?" Alex did not answer her question. He looked deeply into Celeste's eyes.

Celeste was stunned for a moment. After that, she returned his gaze and guessed, "It's because of me, isn't it?"

Alex nodded, "Master Gary didn't outright admit to it, but President Jones said that he had given Cindy his blood to repay her for raising you. From now on, you don't owe her anything anymore."
