Peter agreed without thinking, "Of course. As long as you’re allowed to leave hospital, I can pick you up at any time. Just take a look at how your ex-husband treated you just now. Do you think he’ll leave you by yourself?"
Katherine thought of how Marshall acted just now.
He was quite indifferent.
He looked serious while talking to her.
But judging from what he just said, it seemed that Marshall wouldn’t leave her like that by herself.
Katherine chortled. "Do I need him to take care of me?"
Peter took a quick glance at Katherine and went on playing mobile game, but still sighed, "Alas! What can you do with a duplicitous woman?"
Katherine pursed her lips, saying no more.
She paused and tucked herself in, restless.
However, if one asked her what she was thinking about right now, she couldn’t tell you exactly either.
She seemed to have thought too much. Her mind was running through all the meaningful events that had happened to her so far.
But seemingly, she couldn’t recall any, her mind was a blank.
After a while, Katherine turned over and had her back to Peter.
She said, “Just shut the door when you leave."
It was impossible for Peter to kept watching her for the night.
It wasn’t an appropriate thing to do for two single adults.
Now that Katherine was about to leave hospital, with her current body condition, she could pull off the night alone all by herself.
Peter just agreed without saying anything else.
Katherine laid for a while before falling asleep. She didn’t know whether if Peter left or not.
However, she suddenly woke up at midnight.
The room was empty, just like the countless days and nights before.
She was on the bed alone, and the one who should appear on the other half of the bed never showed up.
Katherine sat up slowly from the bed, the bed lamp was still on.
She took out her phone. It was midnight.
