Peter came quickly with Marshall’s apparel in hand..
He searched the ward by room number and wondered what happened to Katherine.
Then he was taken aback when he saw Marshall drenched in blood.
He stared at Marshall in disbelief, “Are you a sadist?”
Marshall ignored him, taking the clothes over and going straight to the bathroom.
Peter came to the bedside and looked at Katherine.
Katherine should be asleep. Her whole face didn’t look good, but she was in a stable state.
Marshall got out of the bathroom and looked at Peter for a moment, “You take care of her, I’m leaving.”
Peter quickly stopped him. “Hold up a sec. You’re leaving just like that?”
Out of habit, Marshall frowned. “Or what?”
Peter looked back at Katherine, “Didn’t you want to talk to her for a sec after she gains consciousness?”
Pivoting, Marshall went outside. “Nothing to say.”
But stopping at the door anyway, he looked back at Katherine on the bed and told Peter, “We can stay here for more days. You take care of her here. If she needs a caretaker, just get one.”
Before Peter could say anything, he closed the door and left.
Katherine woke up at almost noon, she was still in a bit of a trance and stared at the ceiling of the ward for a long while.
Peter was sitting on the couch and had played video games for quite a while.
Seeing Katherine waking up, he quickly went up to her, “You're awake. Are you feeling better?”
Katherine felt a little, no more pain in the stomach, “Yes. Better..”
She looked at Peter, “Thanks for taking me here.”
She remembered calling Peter last night.
Peter was stunned for a moment, “Huh, not me. Your ex-husband did it.”
