After chatting for a while, Peter checked the time, “Well, I got to go back to the company now. You can go in now. Kathy seems to be sleeping, but she should be waking up now.”
Peter then nodded at Margaret and just left.
Standing by the door, Margaret can vaguely see the shadows of Kyle and Marshall talking in the living room.
She took a deep breath and walked in.
Marshall had changed his clothes and wasn’t in the same outfit that he wore to the store today.
It clearly was a home wear.
Seeing that Margaret was here, Marshall grinned, “Hey, you are here. Kathy is about to wake up. Let’s wait for a while.”
Margaret nodded, “Sure.”
She went over and sat on the corner of the sofa.
Kyle looked at the second floor, “What’s wrong with Kathy?”
Marshall let out a sigh, “Maybe it’s because she’s under a lot of pressure recently and is too tired. She wasn’t exactly pretty fit before. Her body just can’t handle this long-term tension.”
Kyle nodded, “Well, it’s true that she’s quite slim. She really needs to build up her health.”
Then he turned to Marshall, “You’re here the whole time?”
Leaning against the sofa, Marshall nodded, “Yeah, I’m worried about here.”
Kyle felt much safer that Marshall was here to take care of Katherine. But he suddenly something was wrong here when he thought about Hector.
After staring at Marshall for a while, Kyle asked hesitantly, “Um, won’t your life be affected that you are caring for Katherine here?”
Though Kyle was obviously containing some information, Marshall got it immediately and broke into laughers, “Why will it be? We’re both single. Some rumors may get spread out, tops.”
Marshall added before Kyle can even reply, “We were couples before and got a great foundation of relationship. It’s perfectly normal even we have anything going on.”
Standing on the staircase of second floor, Katherine really feel like spitting Marshall on the face when she heard his last words.
Great foundation of relationship?
How can he bring himself to say that? Did he forget how he treated her before?
Margaret first noticed Katherine and stood up, “Katherine.”
Katherine had a sound sleep and said, “You are all here.”
Margaret pursed her lips. “How are you feeling now?”
Katherine mused, “Much better.”
Kyle came over and touched Katherine’s forehead, “Just speak out if you are feeling unwell. We got be careful with our health.”
Katherine nodded and stole a glanced of Marshall and then just thought the test result.
She suddenly got speechless.
Marshall scanned around and suggested, “Why don’t we have hot pot together for dinner? It would be a lot of fun.”
Kyle certainly loved the idea and chimed in, “Sure! I’ll go and buy some groceries. What do you think, guys?”
Katherine nodded, “Great.”
She can feel saliva exuding her teeth the minute she heard hot pot as if she can even smell the hot pot in the air.
Margaret also agreed.
But there weren’t enough materials at home, so Katherine said, “I’ll got to the supermarket. You guys can wait at home.”
Marshall immediately followed, “I’ll go with you.”
Margaret also pursued hurriedly, “Me too.”
Surly Kyle wouldn’t want to wait at home alone, “I’ll also go then. I don’t want to stay at home myself.”
