He Stood at Memory's End

Three days after Celine Quest's father, Tobias Quest, passed away, Harry Slate finally returned home. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Celine sitting on the couch. Her eyes were sunken, her figure thin and frail.The guilt in his heart peaked. He quickly walked up to her and hugged her. "Celine, I flew to Palto for a meeting at the last minute. Due to the time difference, I didn't receive your call. That's why I couldn't accompany you to the funeral. It's my fault. What compensation do you want? I'll give it to you, okay?"Celine quietly listened to him. Her expression was blank, showing no emotion. She said nothing and just took out two documents from her bag. She opened the last page for both of them before handing it to him. "I want these two things. Sign them."Harry let out a sigh of relief and quickly picked up a pen to sign his name.Seeing his unhesitating action, Celine's eyes began to well up with tears. "You didn't even look at the papers. Aren't you worried that th

After the meal, Harry was completely drunk.Their relatives and friends were worried about them going back in such a state, so they asked them to stay.Celine called the housekeeper to help him back to a room. After washing up, she turned off the lights in the bedroom and only left the one beside the bed on.After a while, Harry opened his eyes drowsily and reached out to hold her in his arms. "Juniper, you came back for me, right?"Celine froze completely, but she did not tell him that he had mistaken her for someone else. She paused for a long time before asking in reply, "What about you? Who did you get drunk for today?""It's you, Juniper. It's only you. Don't you understand?"Although she had already expected the outcome, hearing it with her own ears still caused her agony. She finally understood why those who buy alcohol to drown their sorrows would pretend never to drink liquor in front of her. It was because he was afraid of revealing his true feelings, like he did today,

Harry's heart skipped a beat as he abruptly turned around to see Celine lying unconscious with a pale face. He immediately turned around and rushed toward her, picking her up and heading for the hospital.Amid the commotion, Celine slowly opened her eyes in pain and saw Harry instructing the doctor, "My wife is pregnant. She's four months along. Be careful when you administer the medicine."After being pushed into the treatment room, the nurse lifted her clothes and saw her flat belly. She gasped. "Four months? He must have remembered it wrong! This doesn't look like she's pregnant at all!"While she was doubting and turning around to confirm it, Celine endured the pain and stopped her. "Miss, my baby has miscarried. Please keep it a secret. I want to tell my husband myself."Although the nurse did not know the reason, it was still not a good thing for a married couple to suffer a miscarriage, so the nurse respected Celine's wish.As there was no anesthetic, Celine was in so much

Celine gave a silent smile. She lost all desire to listen any further.Turning around, she saw Juniper, who had just come out of the bathroom. Her eyelids twitched, and Celine subconsciously turned and headed toward the stairs.After taking merely a few steps, she heard Juniper's hesitant voice. "Celine?"Celine ignored her and quickened her pace. Just as she was about to turn the corner, Juniper caught up and grabbed her hand.Celine did not want to run into her here and tried to leave, but she refused to let go. Juniper said anxiously, "I know it's you. Did you misunderstand something? Let me explain."The two were entangled, and Celine struggled to break free. However, she swayed and was about to fall due to the excessive force.Juniper's expression changed instantly, and she hurriedly grabbed Celine.Celine leaned against the stairs and managed to steady herself.However, Juniper rolled down the stairs and lay in a pool of blood due to the loss of weight.Celine's mind wen

Three days later, the matching results were released.The bad news was that all the members of the Jenner family did not meet the requirements. The good news was that a matching kidney source was found, and the other person had agreed to donate.After learning this news, Celine called Harry, but he did not answer. She knew he must have been tirelessly searching for a suitable kidney source all over the world these days, so she went to the company headquarters herself.As soon as she reached the office entrance, she heard several urgent voices inside."Harry, are you really going to donate a kidney to Juniper? You're now married to her niece, and Celine is pregnant with your child. You should let go of the past and cherish the present.""Yeah, Juniper doesn't deserve all this from you. Have you considered the side effects after donating a kidney? Can't you think about Celine and the child about to be born?"'Is it Harry who's donating a kidney to Juniper?' Celine's mind went blank
