True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz) novel Chapter 1401

Celeste did not feel like talking to him at all because her body was still in pain. After the shower, she had washed away all the medicine that she applied in the clinic. Now, she had to apply it again to ease the pain and disinfect her wound.

She could avoid the embarrassment and apply the medicine herself when Gary was taking a shower.

Gary's movements were extremely swift and fast. He went into the bathroom, and washed up quickly.

When Celeste heard the sound of running water, she let out a sigh of relief.

She knew that he was already bathing.

Resisting the strong discomfort, Celeste got up and found the bag which had medicine in it. She opened it and found some medicine provided by the clinic as well as other antiseptics that Gary bought from the convenience store.

Due to the pain, she opened them slowly one at a time. She sat on the edge of the bed and was just about to start applying the medicine.

The bathroom door opened all of a sudden, and Gary's tall figure appeared at the door.

He stood far away and saw Celeste's actions. He knew what she was going to do next.

He could foresee that Celeste would try to apply medicine when he was busy washing up in the bathroom. He purposely took his shower quickly because he wanted to help her with it.

Celeste looked at him in surprise, and her eyes widened. For a moment, she forgot how to react.

Gary bathed like he was in the middle of a warzone. It only took him three minutes to finish washing up. In fact, he probably just rinsed himself with water and rushed out.

She was shocked and her movements stiffened.

Gary walked towards her.

Celeste came back to her senses and shouted in a hurry, "Don't come out yet. Stay in the bathroom.

I'll call you when I'm ready."

She didn't want to be seen by him at her worst. She felt really embarrassed.

She did not want to let him see her in such a mess.

Despite her words, Gary still walked over. He was only wearing a pair of boxers, exposing his chiseled figure in front of Celeste.

Celeste was dumbfounded and her entire face turned a bright shade of red.

She was troubled, embarrassed and angry at the same time. After a long time, she managed to shout impatiently, "I don't want you to be here, I need to treat my wounds, so please stay away."

"I'll do it for you," Gary ignored Celeste's words and continued to walk towards her.

"There's no need to."

Gary continued to ignore her and sat on the edge of the bed. He lowered his head and looked at Celeste, his eyes overflowing with seriousness, "You can't see it, so you can't apply it properly. It's also very inconvenient for you."

"I don't need you to help me," Celeste growled in anger.

If it wasn't because of him, she wouldn't have to go through all these pain and torture in the first place.

She was hurt because of him.

Celeste was shrouded in embarrassment and continued to shout, "Get up, and get out of here! Please leave me alone, I don't need you to apply the medicine for me,"

"Celeste," Gary said patiently. His tone was gentle, but there was a hidden commanding tone that refused any rejection that she had, "You can't apply the medication on your own. Is there any part of your body that I haven't seen before? Why are you being so petty?"

"I'm being petty?" Celeste scoffed. She could feel her chest tighten.

Gary remained silent. His body language showed that he thought she was being petty.

Celeste started to question herself. Was she really being petty?

It was true that the both of them had already revealed themselves to each other. It was also no lie that they are familiar with each other.

However, this did not mean that she could accept his frivolous behaviour. Since they already decided to end things with each other, they couldn't just do inappropriate things anymore.

It was already awkward enough for her to stay here.

Celeste couldn't believe that he still wanted to apply the medication for her. The thought of it was already making her feel embarrassed.

She tried to hide her feelings and pursed her lips bitterly, "Yes, I'm being petty. But since we've already decided that we should end things with each other, we should maintain an appropriate distance. If you think that I'm being petty, so be it. I don't mind."

"You can't apply the cream on your own," Gary emphasized his statement once again. He pleaded once more, "I promise I will only apply the medication, and I won't do anything else to you."

Was he still planning to do something else?

She glared at him intensely, her eyes full of doubt.

Seeing that Celeste did not trust him, Gary's heart felt like someone was stabbing him with a knife.

He wanted to say something else, but a phone rang, interrupting him.

It was Celeste's phone.

She was stunned and immediately covered herself with a blanket. She then picked up her phone to answer it.

She looked down at the screen and realised that it was Janice's phone number.

She did not want to answer the phone but the phone continued to ring, so she had no choice but to pick it up.

"Miss Simpson."

"Thank you, Celeste. A bellboy sent some sanitary pads to my room. I've used them," Janice's tone was full of gratitude, "The ones that you bought suited me very well."
