CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times novel Chapter 418

Frances came over soon and ran upstairs.

She seemed to be finally relieved to see Katherine sitting on the bed safely.

She straight passed Marshall and went to the bedside, “What happened? You must be overwhelmed. Do you have sedative liquids at home? Have some of that.”

Shocked by Frances’ reaction, Marshall frowned, “Mom, what’s wrong with you?”

Frances would never pay heed to Katherine before, but she didn’t seem to be faking all the worries which made Marshall quite confused.

Frances paused and seemed to have realized that her response was a bit weird and just chuckled, “Why? Nothing. I heard that you got into an accident and was concerned. Marshall, how about you? Are you okay?”

Marshall stared at Frances for a while and then shook his head, “I’m okay. That man wasn’t aiming at me.”

Frances then turned to Katherine and just met her directly in the eye which made her a bit awkward.

She was always sharp-tongued towards Katherine and would never care for her. Now that she doing the complete opposite, she actually felt weird.

Frances let out a sigh and changed the subject, “Who is he? Didn’t he see you?”

Katherine stared at Frances and then said in a while, “What are you doing here so late?”

Frances glared and answered, “Can’t I be worried about my son? What if he was injured because of you?”

She looked as fierce as ever.

But Katherine just laughed.

Well, Frances may seem to be tough outside, she was soft inside.

Marshall then got a call and left the room.

Frances mused for a bit and then closed the door. She then approached Katherine, “Are you really okay? Do you need to go to the hospital? You don’t look so good.”

She can’t go to the hospital for Marshall might learn about the truth.

Katherine shook her head, “I’m all right now.”

Frances then sighed, “Don’t go out at night from now on. There are all sorts of people out there. They aren’t all evil, but you can be easily hurt even if they just bump into you by accident.”

She started warning Katherine subconsciously.

Katherine wasn’t used to see this side of Frances and also felt odd, “It’s late now. You should go home and have some rest. I’m okay now and want to get some sleep.”

Frances then just stood up, “Okay then. I won’t disturb you. I got to check on my son.”

She seemed to be a bit awkward and just left the room.

Katherine directly lay down and turned off the light.

But actually she can’t fall asleep as she was still bothered by this accident.

Marshall was still on the phone when Frances went out.

Leaning against the wall, Marshall looked stern.

Frances just waited and asked after Marshall finished the call, “She went to sleep. Let’s talk downstairs.”

Marshall nodded and followed Frances.

Frances frowned when they were downstairs, “Are you sure that man did it on purpose? He could be careless and didn’t see Katherine.”

Marshall shook his head, “Thought I didn’t know exactly what was he after, he must be hired by someone. That man’s phone is here. Have a look at it.”

He then handed the phone to Frances.

There was only one message in his phone and was received after Katherine was nearly hit.

There were only one word and a punctuation in the message, “Finished?”

This message was sent by the person who called him before he was knocked down.

Marshall had already asked someone to look up the caller’s identity.

Frances stared at the message for a while and looked serious, “It looks like that someone is really scheming against her.”

Marshall took the phone over and surveyed it, “But I just can’t figure out what are they doing this for? It seems pointless.”

Frances paused and looked complicated.
