A Bird in the Cage novel Chapter 16

Chapter 16 You’re Awake

However, she was worried about her parents because she knew that she was precious to them and she had their love. When she thought about them, she tried to wake up but failed.

When she woke up again, it was noon. It turned out that she lived after all. Opening her eyes, she saw the ceiling spinning. At this moment, her smartphone rang.

Using almost all her strength, she grabbed it right in front of her and unlocked it to read Jasmine’s message.

“Areza is just so beautiful, Cath. I’m so happy.” Along with the message, there was also a photo of Jasmine and Ryan.

In the photo, they gazed affectionately at each . other and joined their hands in the shape of a heart. Behind them was a beautiful beach, blue sky and see. It looked beautiful and romantic.

Even though she was so upset that she could die right now, her best friend was happy now, so she smiled weakly.

As she smiled, tears began to roll down her cheeks silently because she realized that no one cared if she was happy or sad. While she suffered the pain, the man who had stayed by her side for the past two years and who she had thought would stay with her for the rest of her life was enjoying his life with another woman. How could she be happy?

Yet, what could she do about it? Did she really hope that he would save her? Who was she to him? She was just a pathetic mistress he didn’t even have to pay a single cent for. Therefore, she wasn’t even worth a single cent.

Immediately, her tears fell crazily, and it helped – alleviate her fever. As she continued crying in her immense despair and sorrow, she fainted once more.

“Catherine! Catherine!” someone called out to her in horror. Although she could vaguely hear it, it sounded distant.

It was probably another dream. After all, no one could enter this apartment aside from Ryan but he was in Areza, was he not?

Therefore, it could only be an illusion, so she closed her eyes, not feeling the tears that rolled down her both cheeks.

After a while, she heard some anxious question.

“How is she?”

“Tell me, how is she doing?”

“Is she in danger? Hurry up and tell me!”

Gradually, the questions sounded more and more urgent. In her trance, she could recognize that it was Ryan’s voice.

Was he back? When she heard him ask so anxiously, was it because he worried that something might happen to her? Was it because he cared about her?

“Wake up! Wake up right now! Why aren’t you waking up?” At that moment, she felt as though her hands were wrapped in a large warm hand that warmed her freezing body.

Since it was impossible for Ryan to treat her so tenderly, those hands had to be Cayden’s. After all, he was the only one who would care about her so much. When she thought of that, she felt warmth on her back too. It was as if someone was hugging her.

Was she dead? But she would feel colder if she were. Instead, she felt warm.

“I am here alone. Mr. Walker is still in Areza. Are you feeling better now?” Luca sounded indifferent but Catherine did not know why.

“Oh!” She sounded disappointed now.

“I‘ve found you were sick when your mother called me, so I brought you here,” Luca explained with a straight face and a frown. Obviously, she could tell he was a little annoyed.

It was no wonder he had such a bad attitude. After all, in his eyes, she got herself sick on purpose. Needless to say, Ryan probably thought so too.
