Marrying The Supposed Gold Digger (Valerie) novel Chapter 701

Katherine snatched the phone from Julian's hand and flashed it in his face, displaying the screensaver. "Didn't you say we were just ordinary friends? You've already got that woman by your side, and yet you still use my photo as your screensaver? Explain yourself right now. What's going on? Do you still have feelings for me?"

At that moment, Julian was at a loss for words. "I... I just didn't bother to change it."

"Is it that you didn't bother or that you don't want to?" Katherine demanded.

Faced with her probing gaze, Julian was rendered speechless. He turned his head and quickly called for a nurse. "Nurse, please take a look at her."

Katherine was unwilling to relent. "Julian, don't think you can just brush me off like that!"

Julian seized the phone, and at that moment, Valerie arrived. "Katherine!"

Katherine was stunned at the sight of Valerie.

"How are you? Julian, what happened to her?" Valerie asked.

Julian said, "She sprained her ankle. Get a doctor to check it out right away!"

Soon, the nurse brought the doctor over to examine Katherine. Frowning, Katherine's gaze drifted toward Valerie. She couldn't believe Julian was still ignoring her at a time like this. When she saw the phone screen, Katherine couldn't hold back any longer. 'If Julian still had feelings for me, then what about Linda?' she thought. She had so many questions she wanted answered, but with so many people around, she felt embarrassed to say too much.

The doctor examined her and said, "It's nothing serious, just a minor sprain. You'll be fine with a bit of rest."

Relieved, Katherine thanked the doctor and turned to look at Valerie.

Valerie patted her. "I know everything. You donated blood when I gave birth and sent me fruit baskets every day. Why wouldn't you see me?"

Katherine lowered her head and said, "It was my fault that you went into labor suddenly and almost went into critical condition. How could I bear to face you?"

Valerie rubbed her head. "Katherine, what kind of relationship do we have? How could you be afraid to see me, especially after everything you've done for me? You've been avoiding me. Don't you want to see what my child looks like?"

"Of course I am!" Katherine's face was full of longing. "I just felt too embarrassed to see you, after all that's happened, and for making you worry about me."

Valerie hugged her. "You silly girl, how could I blame you? Everything I did was for you!"

"Do you really not blame me?" Katherine asked, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Of course I don't. You saved my life," Valerie said.

Katherine broke into tears. "Valerie, I knew you were good to me."
