Chapter 9 Rich Hot And Infertile Husband (Or Maybe Not)

• That entire day, she felt as if she was sleepwalking, she put on a white shirt as he requested, afraid that he would become impatient and change his mind, she didn’t even have time to put on makeup, she just followed him to get the marriage certificate The process of getting the certificate was simple, and their wedding photos were taken casually. Liam didn’t even smile, and only she smiled like a fool. Such a reckless beginning shouldn’t end in haste. She applied some lipstick in the mirror, the bright color made her radiant. She would be dignified and generous at the divorce, giving this failed love affair a perfect ending. At half past two in the afternoon, while Celeste was on her way to City Hall, she suddenly received a call from Mercy Hospital her mother’s heart had suddenly stopped beating! Celeste’s heart skipped a beat, and she immediately headed for Mercy Hospital.
• When she arrived, her mother was being treated in the resuscitation room. The doctor handed her a critical condition notice, which she signed with trembling hands. Over the years, she had signed countless critical condition notices. Every time she signed, she felt like a drowning person, gasping for breath, not knowing which time would be the last. After signing, she was somewhat dazed, it took her a long time to remember to call Shawn.. “Dad, mom is not doing well, can you come to the hospital?” Her voice was calm, but trembled. It seemed quite noisy on Shawn’s end, “I have an important meeting right now, can’t make it.” Celeste clenched her hand, “The doctor said her condition is serious, there might be no hope left, this might be the last time.” “The doctor has been saying that since six years ago, it’s you who can’t let go! Looking at her now, do you think she’s still alive?” Shawn said. Celeste’s eyes reddened, “What do you mean by that?” Shawn’s reply was perfunctory, “I’ll call you back when I’m done.
• ” Without waiting for Celeste to respond, he hung up. She squatted on the floor, feeling an overwhelming sense of disappointment, tears gushed out in an instant. Her phone rang at this moment, and it was Liam. She widened her eyes, and answered the phone, “Liam, my mom…” “Celeste, is it fun to play with me? We agreed to get divorced today. Where are you?” Liam asked. Celeste’s words got stuck in her throat, and she couldn’t say a single word. Yeah, right, how could she count Liam as her support? “Celeste?” Liam raised his voice, the eerie silence on the other end made him inexplicably nervous. After a few seconds, Celeste’s voice finally came through, “I have something going on today, can we reschedule?” Liam scoffed, “Reschedule? Celeste, do you think I’m as free as you? You’re the one who keeps talking about divorce and disappears when it matters most. What do you want to do?” Celeste’s face turned pale, and she said hoarsely, “I really have something going on today, and I can’t make it. Let me know when you’re available, and I’ll be there on time.
