Katherine slept right till the late afternoon and just curled up in bed comfortably.
She remembered how she got home.
After staring at the ceiling for a while, she heard the noise coming from the yard which was pretty audible as the window was open.
It was Marshall’s voice.
Katherine didn’t go to check it out and just lay on the bed.
Marshall must be talking to the company staff as he was constantly throwing business jargons which Katherine can’t understand and didn’t feel like to.
After taking a few deep breathes, she grabbed the phone and followed the hospital’s Wechat account to check the blood test result.
But the result hadn’t come back as it wasn’t time yet.
Katherine sighed as she didn’t really know what kind of result she wanted to get.
The phone rang while she was pinching at the phone.
Katherine glanced at the caller ID and found it was an unknown number but it was in the same place with that woman’s number.
It must be that woman found out that she’d blocked her number, so she just got a new number to call her.
Katherine sneered and threw the phone away.
She then washed her face in the bathroom and went downstairs.
Marshall had finished his phone call and was back in the living room to read the files.
Seeing that Katherine was downstairs, he immediately came forward and asked, “Are you feeling okay?”
Katherine shook her head, “I’m all right.”
Actually, she was telling the truth. She just felt extremely sleepy and that was all.
Marshall nodded and felt her forehead, “You seemed fine to me.”
He then grabbed an oral solution from the desk, “I just asked someone to send this over. You are low on energy, so this might be helpful.”
Katherine looked at Marshall and said, “You don’t have to look after me here.”
Marshall cracked a smile and really didn’t really mind Katherine drawing a line between them now.
He even continued, “Well, who else should I care for? I made a promise to my grandpa.”
Katherine closed her eyes and really didn’t know how to strike back Marshall’s words.
He would use grandpa as his excuse every time he got nothing better to say.
How brazen!
So Katherine didn’t retort.
Marshall opened the oral liquid and handed it to Katherine.
Katherine just took it without fighting back.
She was perfectly aware that she was getting weak recently.
Though she seemed frisky, she was actually inflicted with sub-health.
Marshall waited till Katherine drank the solution and pursued, “Are you hungry? I ordered a Chinese Herbal soup. It’s in the pot now and is still warm. Should I get you some?”
Katherine looked at Marshall earnestly.
Well, no matter how cold-faced a man may appear to be, he can actually be sweet-hearted when he wanted to.
Katherine would never have imagined Marshall to be this heart-warming.
She let out a sigh and replied okay.
Marshall was obviously pleased by her answer and went to the kitchen hurriedly.
Katherine stared at Marshall and seemed to see the old she in him.
She was once inferior in the marriage and was even more so than Marshall now.
When did they have swapped identity?
Katherine went to the dining room.
Marshall had served the soup which was in the perfect temperature.
Katherine wasn’t actually hungry before, but she was less vomiting when she smelled the soup and felt like she could have some.
Marshall sat in across Katherine and was constantly checking on her.
“Is it too hot? It this salty? Is it to your taste?”
Katherine first ignored his question and gradually grew impatient, “You can go read your files if you don’t have anything to do now. Stop annoying me.”
