Janice was left alone in the ward. She watched blankly as Gary left without even looking back. He told her that he would replace a nurse for her, and he left after saying just that. He was so cold-hearted that it

would make one gasp.

As for her, she didn't know what else she could do apart from crying.

Tears streamed down her face. Janice bit her lip so hard that blood oozed out.

She did not make a sound. She only closed her eyes and gasped for air, her chest rose and fell heavily.

The whole ward was extremely quiet, and she silently shed tears as she gasped for breath.

Gary came out from the ward and went straight back to the apartment.

Lester and Lowell also returned as well.

When he saw them, Gary heaved a sigh of relief.

Lowell was very puzzled. He walked up to Gary and asked, "What did you do? Why did Janice suddenly change her statement?"

Gary looked at him and asked, "What could I do?" Lowell was stunned. His eyes were still filled with suspicion. He felt that Gary was too calm. The calmness he showed was all too surprising.

Lowell suspected that Gary must have done something so that Janice would change her statement. Otherwise, it would be impossible for her to change it that way.

"Then why did Janice suddenly change her statement?" Lowell asked again.

"I don't know," Gary said in a deep voice. No one could hear anything wrong with his tone.

"There's something fishy about this matter." Lester continued, "She had a strong case in hand, but she changed her statement all of a sudden. She would never have done that for no reason. Something must have happened. Master Gary, did you really not do anything?"

"No." Gary repeated the same thing.

Lester looked at Gary deeply and nodded. "Okay, I will go back first. If anything happens, remember to let me know in time."

"Thank you, Mr. Lester." Gary thanked him.

"My pleasure," Lester said.

With that, he left hurriedly.

After that, only Lowell and Gary were left in the apartment.

The two of them looked at each other, Lowell then looked at Gary seriously and asked again, "Tell me the truth, did you reach an agreement with Janice?"

"No." Gary raised his sharp eyebrows, his eyes were still as calm as ever.

"Don't hide it from me. I am telling you, you still have Celeste. Don't do anything silly."

"I plan to break up with Celeste." Gary looked at Lowell as he said softly and calmly.

However, when he finished saying that sentence, his eyelashes fluttered lightly, as if it took him a lot of effort to say those words.

Lowell took a deep breath and said, "Why... why? That is not necessary at all. I think that Celeste is an understanding person. Besides, you are not the one at fault here. You were schemed by Janice. I think that if you explain this matter clearly to Celeste, she would understand it and she would not break up with you."

"No." Gary shook his head. "I understand Celeste. I know her well."

"You must work hard then," Lowell said, "Why don't you give it a try? Perhaps she isn't willing to break up with you either."

"Even I feel dirty right now." Gary laughed bitterly. "I think I am destined to lose her."

Lowell's heart tightened. He felt extremely vexed as he stared at Gary's lonely eyes.

"Well then, you should wash yourself up and get some sleep." Gary glanced at Lowell and said, "I am going to sleep."

"Okay." Lowell did not say anything more. The two of them returned to their respective rooms after that.

However, Gary could not fall asleep no matter how hard he tried. He took out his phone several times, wanting to call Celeste, but when he scrolled towards her number, he paused as he stared at the screen. He did not know how to tell her that they were going to break up.

When the sun rose again, Gary arranged a nurse for Janice, and he personally went to the hospital himself too.

When he saw Janice, he just told her in a very formal tone, "I am going back, and I will only come back in a month."

When Janice heard his words, the joy in her heart that was there momentarily was instantly shattered into a million pieces again.

"Are you going to go back and accompany Celeste?" "I am going back to spend the Spring Festival with my parents," Gary said.

Janice was stunned, she smiled and said, "Okay, then I will wait for you. I hope that you can keep your promise. I hope that when you come back, you will have already broken up with Celeste."

"There is no need for you to worry about this. I will definitely break up with her," Gary spoke in a flat tone.

After that, Janice did not say anything else.

Gary hurriedly returned home. Even Lowell did not know why he was in such a hurry to rush back.

He only received Janice's phone call after Gary left.

Janice spoke to him on the phone, "Lowell, come to the hospital. I have something to tell you."

Lowell frowned. "However, I don't have anything to say to you."

"Don't you want to know why Gary was in such a hurry to go back?" Janice said, "Come to the hospital, and I will tell you."

In the end, Lowell still went to the hospital to see her.

He met Janice.

Janice had lost weight then.

He had only not seen her for a few days, but she had turned paler and thinner, her skin had lost its moisture, and she seemed to be in a state of distress.

When he saw Janice like that, he frowned and looked away, and he spoke coldly, "Speak, why did he leave?"

"I think he didn't tell you about this, but he has agreed to be my boyfriend." Janice was certain that Gary had not told anyone about his agreement with her.

Lowell was stunned. His eyes were filled with great shock.

She smiled bitterly and said, "In order to save you, he actually made this deal with me. He said that he would break up with Celeste. He is going back to break up with Celeste this time round." Lowell's heart was extremely shocked, he felt greatly upset.

He closed his eyes and looked at Janice. "Are you satisfied now? You have finally gotten what you want. Isn't this what you wanted?"

"Yes, this is what I wanted, what I have been dreaming of." Janice admitted openly.

However, she did not feel happy at all then.

She was greatly upset.

Even though she had Gary, it was only at the surface level.

They had no substantial progress at all, and so how could Janice even stand it?

Lowell's lips twitched, and he felt that it was time for him to return home too.

"Lowell, do you regret hitting me with your car?" Janice suddenly stared at him and asked.

Lowell did not stop at all, and he said bluntly, "No, I don't regret it."

Janice suddenly laughed sorrowfully and said, "I deserve it. I never thought that a gentle person like you would do something crazy like that."

"There are a lot of things you didn't expect," Lowell replied faintly, "I would advise you to let Gary go. If you push him too far, you will only suffer in the end."

"Let Gary go?" Janice smiled. "Even if I let him go, do you think his relationship with Celeste won't be affected?"
