Marshall did not explain it clearly. That meant he did not want to let Katherine Jordan know about it.
So Katherine Jordan did not continue to ask.
She turned over, took out her cellphone, and read some gossip news for a while.
Then Marshall got up.
Although Katherine Jordan remained awake, Marshall made as little noise as possible. He went to the bathroom and washed up.
Katherine Jordan waited him to come out. Marshall changed his clothes and said, “When the family doctor comes, he will do a simple examination for you.”
“Well,” Katherine Jordan said, “I see.”
After she answered, Katherine Jordan asked Marshall, “How are the people in our village? Are they alright now?”
Marshall nodded, “They are all alright. Two more villagers come to our company the day before yesterday. Both of them got their jobs. Now they are working for the company.”
Fortunately, the company was large enough. There were many positions left in the warehouse, so Marshall could arrange work for these job hunters.
Soon Marshall remembered the scene when he met the villagers. He smiled and told Katherine Jordan, “These people wanted to see you and thank you.”
Katherine Jordan thought about it and turned over to face Marshall, “That’s fine. I also want to see them. I haven’t met them after they came here.”
Marshall stopped buttoning up, “Well, let’s visit them a couple of days after. I will have the holiday and I would like to go with you to visit them.”
“Okay”, Katherine Jordan answered.
After Marshall got everything ready, he got close to Katherine Jordan, kissed her and said, “Take care when you stay at home.”
Then he left.
Katherine Jordan sat up slowly, looking at the door for a long time. Then she smiled.
Marshall was becoming more and more tender.
Sometimes she felt it difficult to respond his tenderness.
She got up and washed up, and then she went back to bed.
She touched her belly. It had not grown bigger apparently, but Katherine Jordan always thought that her belly was different than before.
Bearing children was indeed a magic journey.
Katherine Jordan was bored and not very hungry. She fetched her cellphone and continued to read more gossips. Then she sent a message to Kyle Haverford.
She remembered that Hector Bennett would come back. She was thinking about to hold a welcome party for him to have a blast.
It took a long time to get through. She vaguely heard Kyle Haverford said something like “bitch”.
Katherine Jordan laughed, “What’s up? Who’s rattled your cage?”
“Oh,” Kyle Haverford said, he then answered the phone. “It’s okay. I’m all alright.”
Katherine Jordan put aside her plan for Hector Bennett’s welcome party for the moment. She smiled and said to Kyle Haverford, “What’s the matter? I can tell that there’s something wrong with you.”
Kyle Haverford said, “Well, I was…”
Eventually Kyle Haverford stopped talking. It seemed that he thought of something. “That’s all right. Forget it. I prefer not to speak out.”
Katherine Jordan felt awkward, “Kyle, what you behave recently was quite unusual. You were such a straightforward man in the past. But now you speak hesitantly. Your speech is almost slurred.”
Kyle Haverford seemed surprised at her words, “Really? I don’t feel the change.”
Katherine Jordan tutted, “You weren’t like this before. You used to be take actions at once.”
Kyle Haverford paused.
After a long time, he said, “Yes, you are right. As I think about it, I find I’ve been very slow lately. I wasn’t like this before. I must go back to the way as I used to be. Whereas, I will be no longer be called Kyle Haverford.”
He did not give Katherine Jordan the chance to speak. He said directly, “I know what I should do now. Katherine Jordan, I need to go. I should deal with something now. I will contact you later.”
“Wait,” Katherine Jordan said, she had not mentioned Hector Bennett’s party.
Regardless of what she said, Kyle Haverford hung up the phone directly.
