Chapter 1550


    Gary rushed out in search of Celeste. The moment he stepped out the door, Ernest opened his as


    well.


    Ernest had already taken a shower and changed his clothes. The two brothers exchanged nces.


    Ernest looked at Gary, who was wearing a bathrobe when he exited his room, and found it strange,


    "What''s going on? Aren''t you going to put some clothes on before leaving your room?"


    Gary immediately asked, "Ernest, have you seen Celeste?"


    Ernest hurriedly shook his head, "No? Wasn''t she in your room? When I came upstairs, I saw


    Celeste entering your room. Is she gone?"


    "Not only is she gone, but her suitcases are also gone!" Gary answered in dismay.


    Ernest frowned as he was stunned as well, "Her suitcases are gone as well?"


    Gary carefully recalled what he had told Celeste. He hadn''t seemed to have offended her, so why


    did Celeste disappear?


    His anxiousness amused Ernest because it was the first time he saw Gary in such a panic.


    "Don''t worry, Gary. Celeste came here, and she won''t leave even if you did offend her because


    Mom and Dad didn''t. Even if both of you fought, she would never throw a tantrum in front of Mom


    and Dad. So, she won''t leave as she pleases."


    Gary could not focus on anything other than Celeste. After Ernest had given him a reality check, he


    immediately heaved a sigh of relief.


    Ernest was right. Celeste would never leave without saying a word for the sake of his parents, but


    where had she gone?


    Ernest came out of his room and gazed down from the staircase. Grace happened to be in the


    corridor on the second floor. "Mom, where''s Celeste?" Ernest asked.


    Grace lifted her head and only saw Ernest. With the question, she guessed that Gary might have


    already found out about Celeste''s disappearance.


    "Ernest, is Gary looking for Celeste?"


    Ernest nodded, "Yes, he''s indeed looking for Celeste. When he found out that Celeste was gone,


    his face went pale."


    "Celeste has left," Gracemented casually.


    "Left?" Ernest was shocked, "Mom, stop joking. Even if she wants to leave, isn''t there a better time


    for her to do so?" "It''s true. She left," Grace spread her hands and shrugged.


    Gary''s face turned ashen once more. Swiftly, he rushed to the staircase and lowered his head to


    ask in a flurry, "Mommy, where''s Celeste?"


    Grace gazed upwards and went to the third floor without saying anything.


    Seeing her eldest son exiting his room still in a bathrobe, Grace tried to maintain a straight face


    although a smile shed in her eyes, "Since you didn''t cherish Celeste, stop wasting her time."


    "Since when did I not cherish her?" Gary felt as if he had been wronged.


    "How could you cherish her like that? She seems so pitiful with her face all pale. Is that how you


    should cherish her?" Grace questioned.


    Gary was stunned at her words as his face turned another shade paler, "Mommy, tell me. Where''s


    Celeste?"


    Noticing Gary, who was about to pass out, Grace eventually gave in, "I arranged a new room for


    Celeste. She''ll be staying alone tonight."


    Ernest was surprised but he had a sudden realization. Grace must have heard Lowell say that Gary


    had caused Celeste''s pregnancy and miscarriage. As a woman, Grace could empathize with


    Celeste, so she hid her from Gary.


    Ernest cast a sympathetic nce at Gary.


    Gary frowned, his eyes filled with helplessness, "Mommy, you''re making things worse. Celeste has


    cold limbs, especially at night. She can''t sleep well without me."


    Grace was surprised, "Is it that serious?"


    "It''s serious indeed," Gary nodded, "I was nning to bring her to the doctor, but I didn''t expect you


    to first make a move. Thank you for being so thoughtful."


    Gary rarely expressed his gratitude towards Grace.


    Grace took another look at her son, who was still dressed in a bathrobe, "Go back and put some


    clothes on! There are other women at home. It''s inappropriate to run around dressed in such a


    manner. You scum!"


    After saying that, she turned around and left, thoroughly ignoring Gary.


    Gary was about to go mad. He swiftly returned to his room and put on clothes. As soon as Gary


    was done, he left his room to look for Celeste on the second floor.


    Due to the limited number of rooms, he could locate Celeste''s room in a short time. Coincidentally,


    Celeste''s door was open, so when Gary noticed her tiny figure standing in front of the wardrobe, he


    immediately entered the room.


    "Celeste."


    The next second, he reached out and pulled Celeste into his tight embrace as if he wanted to fuse


    with Celeste and melt her into his core.

    Celeste could barely breathe.


    Lifting her gaze to look at Gary, she instantly informed him, "I''m not leaving. Aunt Smith arranged a


    room for me and told me to stay here tonight. She''ll bring me to the hospital for a body checkup


    tomorrow."


    Gary understood that Grace was mad because she was worried about Celeste. At the same time,


    he also felt deeply guilty.


    Judging by Grace''s attentiveness, she must have thought about giving Celeste a body checkup. It


    was supposed to be Gary''s responsibility, but Grace personally made arrangements for Celeste.


    Gary realized that he had no right toin because he was the cause of Celeste''s problems.


    "Alright, let''s go to the hospital together the next morning."


    Noticing the worry on his face, Celesteforted him in return, "Don''t worry, I think my body is


    fine."


    Gary gently stroked Celeste''s face and said softly,


    "Yourplexion is awful, and you look really pale. I don''t know how you managed to get through


    those days."


    His voice was filled withpassion and pity.


    On the contrary, Celeste chuckled, seemingly calm.


    "In fact, I''m recently more at ease. I don''t feel as nervous, and I''m doing pretty well. It''s true. You


    don''t have to worry about me. I''m notforting you. I''m just stating the truth."


    She smiled as she spoke.


    "If you don''t believe me, you''re going to see that I''m healthy when I carry out the checkup


    tomorrow."


    Celeste''s rxed smile made Gary feel even more sorry for her.


    "I also hope that you''re healthy, so I won''t be as ufortable and upset as much now. I really


    don''t want to me myself that much anymore."


    "Well, let''s talk about something else. Let''s take a look around this new room, shall we?" Celeste


    changed the topic, her tone rxed and deliberately casual.


    Gary hugged Celeste and scanned the room before saying, "This is the new room my mom


    prepared for you. I think it looks great. Do you like it?"


    Celeste nodded, "I love it because it''s specifically arranged for me. The effort alone is enough to


    make me feel warm."


    Knowing how lonely Celeste used to be when she had been with Cindy, she longed for family


    warmth.


    However, Gary had given her too little.


    He regretted not being by Celeste''s side for the past four years.


    Gary spoke in a hoarse voice, "It''s a must. Should I stay in your room tonight?"


    Celeste shook her head, "Aunt Smith told me to shut the door, and I''m not supposed to let you in


    even if you knock on the door."


    Gary loosened his grip, "Well then, she''s right. I''m actually worried about your cold limbs at night."


    Gary was afraid that Celeste might feel burdened, so he didn''t mention how Grace had already


    discovered her pregnancy because she might feel upset.


    He looked at Celeste withplex emotions in his gaze. While smiling, he sat on the side of her


    bed and looked around the room. It was indeed well-decorated.


    He remained in Celeste''s room, watching her unpack and organize her closet. As long as he could


    look at her, he was content.


    Gary stayed in Celeste''s room until eleven at night.


    Celeste urged, "It''ste. You should go back and rest. I have to sleep earlier because Aunt Smith


    will bring me to the hospital the next morning. I don''t think we will stay in the country for a long time.


    As the eldest son, you should spend more time with Aunt Smith and Uncle Jones. Don''t stick


    around me all the time."


    "Alright, I''ll go and check on them."


    Gary hugged Celeste and asked for a kiss before walking out of her room. At the same time, Heinz


    exited Sylvia''s room.


    The father and son met gazes, and Heinz smiled, "Gary, do you want to have a chat?"


    Gary could tell that Heinz had something to say from his expression.


    When he saw Heinz looking at him with both sympathy and gloat in his gaze, Gary shrugged, "Fine.


    Let''s have a chat."


    "Let''s head to the rooftop!" Heinz pointed upwards.


    Gary nodded and followed Heinz to the rooftop.


    Before Gary could speak, Heinz said with a smirk, "Congrattions, Gary. You''ve finally lived up to


    how I was before. Does that mean there''s a new heir to take my ce as the new scumbag of the


    family?"
