Chapter 823
After remaining silent for a while, Kate laughed suddenly and said, "Are you afraid I'm a little out of my mind because of the trauma?"
"Don't worry. When you get to know me, you'll see I'm not that... addicted to failure. Once I realize things, my mind is clearer than anyone else's."
As she spoke, she smiled. "In fact, I want to thank you. If not for you, I may not have realized things so soon."
"Me?”
'Yeah."
Kate continued calmly. "Initially, I was indeed depressed, but I thought about you. If it wasn't for you, I'd be dead. If it wasn't for you, I might still be dejected...
"If Ken saw me like that, heh..."
Kate scoffed self-deprecatingly. "I would have fled abroad overnight with my illness, but you helped me stay strong so I could stand up again. I changed my mind. I don't want to be the wayward Miss Lucas I was before.
I want to start a career just like you have.”
Olivia never expected her act would save Kate's life.
It did not occur to her at all that she would be Kate's role model.
All this was like a dream, too unrealistic for her to believe it was real.
All this time, she thought she was strong enough. However, when she saw Kate, she understood that she had been pretentious.
"Are you serious about being my assistant?"
'Yes. I want to learn jewelry design."
"Okay. When you complete your treatment, we'll start the business. However, you should focus on recuperating for now."
"I will."
Kate smiled brightly. ‘Thank you."
The smile left Olivia in a trance. She seemed to see Zyla's shadow in Kate, leaving her in a daze.
"Phoebe?"
Kate tugged her clothes, snapping her out of her daze. "Huh? I'll visit you again tomorrow."
"Okay."
As soon as she left Kate’s ward, she headed straight to John's. The two rooms were close to each other. However, she hesitated.
At the ward door, she bumped into Wes, who was walking out. "Mrs. Freeman, you came at just the right time. Please accompany Mr. Freeman for a while. I have to head to the company now."
Then, he left in a hurry.
