Jennifer wanted to struggle by instinct, feeling his anger, but he bit her more fiercely.
Each second watching them suffocated Catherine.
In the end, Jennifer gave up. She stopped struggling, relaxing while hunching over him. She blinked, gazing at him.
For a moment, Ivan felt that she was like a gentle rabbit lying obediently on his chest.
At the door, Catherine clenched her fists.
She couldn't stand this scene but had to keep her pride and elegance when watching them.
Seeing Jennifer stop struggling, Ivan released her.
Jennifer instantly stood up and pulled a paper napkin to wipe her lips. Unconsciously, she raised her head, taking in the woman at the door.
When did she arrive?
"Ahem, ahem," Jennifer reminded Ivan.
When Ivan looked her way, Catherine strode into the ward while gazing at him to purposely ignore Jennifer.
"I heard you were in the hospital, so I came here to see you on behalf of the company's senior executives." She stopped in front of the bed, feeling upset and sorry for him. She asked gently, "What did the doctor say? Are you alright?"
Before Ivan answered, Jennifer was about to leave the ward, but he reacted quickly to grab her wrist again.
She had to stop.
"Where are you going?" Ivan ignored Catherine, gazing at the woman who was about to leave.
Jennifer was frustrated. Three were too crowded at this moment, and the atmosphere was too weird. She wondered why he couldn't feel it.
"Your husband is sick and in a hospital. The deputy president came to see me as the representative of the company's senior executive," Ivan complained, "You are my wife. Shouldn't you be with me 24 hours?"
Jennifer felt awkward.
However, he gently pulled her to sit on the edge of his bed.
They do PDA again in Catherine's presence.
Catherine felt too upset, afraid she would faint from anger if continuing to stay.
"Please rest well. Don't worry about the businesses in the company. I'll help you deal with them." Catherine darted at him and turned away.
