Chapter 8

In the past week, Harry did not come to visit Celine in the hospital as frequently as before, just once every few days.

Celine knew he had to run back and forth to take care of Juniper and did not show any dissatisfaction.

On the day of her discharge, he came to pick her up, but he hurriedly left just as he reached their home.

After watching his car disappear from sight, Celine received a call from the immigration office, informing her that the procedures were completed. She retrieved her documents and went to cancel her passport and ID.

After doing all that, she returned home and started packing her luggage. During this process, she sorted out many matching items, photos, and children's clothes and toys she had bought previously, and threw them all away.

When she was throwing away these things, Harry happened to come back, carrying a trunk full of luxury bags. He hurried over to show her, but his gaze fell upon the things in the trash can, and his expression became grim.

"Babe, are you still angry with me that you threw all these away? I bought you so many bags. How about we forget about those unpleasant things in the past?"

If it were so easy to forget, Celine would not have been in so much pain for so long. Looking at the piles of gift boxes, she sounded tired. "I'm not angry. No need for gifts either."

Seeing her unusual attitude, Harry grabbed her hand. "What's wrong with you lately? Is there something I haven't done well enough? Tell me. Can we resolve this peacefully?"

Celine was speechless and could only remain silent.

Harry frowned deeper. Her phone rang just as he was about to press her for more information.

"Celine, come to the hospital quickly! Your Aunt Juniper suddenly collapsed. The doctor said it's acute kidney failure after examining her!"

Hearing that, Harry instantly panicked, losing all his composure. All color drained from his face, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

Seeing him so flustered yet still trying to drive, Celine quickly grabbed the car keys and drove him there.

At the hospital, every member of the Jenner family was gathered there, undergoing kidney matching.

The doctors were busy and sighing with emotion. "She's only 27 years old, yet she already has such a disease. I don't see many family members. The chances of a match seem extremely slim!"

Harry's hand trembled violently, and veins bulged on his forehead. He looked at Juniper, unconscious on the hospital bed, turned around, and gripped Celine's shoulder. He said anxiously, "Celine, you should get a matching test too."

Hearing that, Celine's uncle was immediately shocked and tried to stop him. "No, Celine is pregnant. She can't do a matching test."

However, Harry insisted on letting her do the match.

Celine could not bear it any longer. She shook off his hand and looked up at him intently. "Even if I'm a match, what about the baby?"

Harry's mind went blank, and he blurted out his true feelings, "Saving lives is the priority here, Celine. You're young. We'll have other children together. She's your aunt, your mother's sister. How can you watch her die?"

Hearing that, Celine's eyes immediately reddened.

A moment later, she lowered her head and smiled. She was suddenly somewhat glad she had aborted the child.

She did not ask any more questions and went into the matching room. It was not to save his lover but to save her aunt.
