True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 1723

Heinz nodded. "Not bad. She even impressed Alex this time. I didn't think she had it in her to pull off such a brutal act."

Grace sighed. "Someone like her tends to bottle up their emotions and suffer in silence. That's why she's even more pitiful. In the future, let's be kind to her."

"Yes, madam," Heinz replied, instantly saluting his wife.

Grace could not resist laughing.

The couple exchanged a deep look with mutual understanding in their eyes.

Meanwhile, Gary sat beside Celeste's bed in the room upstairs.

Celeste laid on the bed with her eyes closed, her long lashes silhouetted against her eyelids.

She looked beautiful.

Even when she was asleep, she was still gorgeous.

Celeste had a very gentle, quiet, and exquisite bearing, which was the most attractive trait to men.

He fixed his eyes on her, never tiring of her sight.

At the moment, an air of apprehension hung around him. "Celeste, you must be okay, all right? We've made great efforts to get to this point. It wasn't easy for us to be together, so you have to be okay. Otherwise, I won't forgive myself.

"You silly girl, how could you do that? I should've stopped you, but I didn't. And now I really regret it."

In her dazed state, Celeste felt exhausted and weak.

However, there was a voice in her mind that kept trying to convince her to come around, telling her that it was time to wake up and she couldn't keep sleeping.

She tried to open her eyes, but her eyelids felt so heavy. No matter how hard she tried, she was unable to open them.

She heard someone talking next to her. The voice was low, deep, and a little hoarse. It was a familiar male voice.

Besides that, it seemed that he was holding her hand and kissing her every so often.

His lips were quite hot, but also gentle.

"Celeste, it's time to wake up. You've been sleeping for an entire day. We're all very concerned about you, especially my mother. Don't make me so afraid, okay? Hurry up and wake up."

He was afraid? Celeste thought to herself.

Her chest tightened painfully momentarily.

Her heart ached and filled with worry as she listened to his words. She did not want to cause him pain.

The voice continued speaking.

"Celeste, if you keep sleeping, I'll really be frightened. I'm afraid that what happened will traumatize you. I'm afraid that you'll hurt yourself because of that woman. You're really a silly child."

Gary's tone was tender and low.

He was expressing his innermost feelings, something he probably would not do if Celeste was awake.

Only when she was asleep would he voice it out softly. Perhaps he was too embarrassed to say these words in front of her when she was conscious.

He had always been a proud person, and he was not very adept at saying such sweet words since childhood.

There was no denying that the gentlest and sweetest words he had ever uttered in his life were to Celeste.

Second to that would be the words he said to his mother, who had worked so hard to raise him.

He knew full well that it had not been easy for her to bring him up.

Because of that, he never disobeyed his mother.

He protected and respected his mother at all times.

The time when they had only each other to rely on had laid a solid foundation fortheir relationship.

After he grew up, he met Celeste.

He gave all his tender love and care to Celeste, but he seldom spoke those sweet words to her.

And it seemed that he had never felt terrified before he met Celeste. It all started with her.

It scared the living daylights out of him when she suggested that they break up previously.

After they reconciled, he never experienced that feeling again.

However, now that she was unconscious, it struck terror in his heart. However, he could not say those words to anyone else.

Although the doctor had said that she would be fine, he still could not help worrying.

"Celeste, please wake up. I can't live without you. You may not know how much I love you. You may not know how ecstatic I was when I found out that you were going to study with me in Boston.

"I admit that my decision to go to Harvard University four years ago was ridiculous and stupid.

"Over the past four years, you guys have been asking me whether I regret it or not, but I never admitted that I actually regret it.

"I do. I regret it very much. I regret that I didn't ask you to go to Harvard University with me. I regret that we couldn't stay by each other's side all these years.

"I also regret not coming to London earlier with you guys. I've missed out on so many things over the past four years. I could have spent lots of wonderful times with you, but those chances slipped away due to my ego.
