Peter came quickly with Marshall’s apparel in hand..
He searched the ward by room number and wondered what happened to Katherine.
Then he was taken aback when he saw Marshall drenched in blood.
He stared at Marshall in disbelief, “Are you a sadist?”
Marshall ignored him, taking the clothes over and going straight to the bathroom.
Peter came to the bedside and looked at Katherine.
Katherine should be asleep. Her whole face didn’t look good, but she was in a stable state.
Marshall got out of the bathroom and looked at Peter for a moment, “You take care of her, I’m leaving.”
Peter quickly stopped him. “Hold up a sec. You’re leaving just like that?”
Out of habit, Marshall frowned. “Or what?”
Peter looked back at Katherine, “Didn’t you want to talk to her for a sec after she gains
consciousness?”
Pivoting, Marshall went outside. “Nothing to say.”
But stopping at the door anyway, he looked back at Katherine on the bed and told Peter, “We can stay
here for more days. You take care of her here. If she needs a caretaker, just get one.”
Before Peter could say anything, he closed the door and left.
Katherine woke up at almost noon, she was still in a bit of a trance and stared at the ceiling of the ward
for a long while.
Peter was sitting on the couch and had played video games for quite a while.
Seeing Katherine waking up, he quickly went up to her, “You're awake. Are you feeling better?”
Katherine felt a little, no more pain in the stomach, “Yes. Better..”
She looked at Peter, “Thanks for taking me here.”
She remembered calling Peter last night.
Peter was stunned for a moment, “Huh, not me. Your ex-husband did it.”
Katherine got up and said, “Marshall?”
“Who else could it be?” Peter nonchalantly sat down beside Katherine's bed, “What happened? The
doctor said you have internal bleeding in your stomach, gastritis and ulcers, you've got a whole
package coming.”
Katherine got off the bed, “The stomach problem has stuck with me for almost ten years.”
She headed to the bathroom to wash her face and felt still a little weak.
Peter came over and stood at the bathroom doorstep, “The doctor said that you should stay here for a
few days, but we may not stay for long and maybe have to leave soon.”
Katherine understood, “I know, it's okay, I can take care of myself, and I'll find a caretaker if I need
one.”
Peter was actually very worried about her, “I'll talk to your ex-husband again and see if I can stay for
two more days.”
“No.” Katherine said, “I actually don't really want to see him, you guys don't have to worry about me.”
Peter didn't say anything. Now that Katherine’s awake, he went out to get breakfast.
But Katherine was not hungry for she couldn’t feel a thing in her stomach at the moment.
She went back to bed and found Marshall did not forget to bring her phone over when he sent her over
yesterday.
She looked at it, grabbed the phone and planned to call Marshall.
But then she thought of the possibility that he might be with his client at the moment, she did not want
to disturb him.
So she decided to send a message.
Katherine logged in her Facebook account and tried sending a thank you note to Marshall for sending
her to the hospital last night.
But the message was blocked then she realized that Marshall had deleted her name from his contact
list.
Katherine froze, staring at the chat page for a long time, and finally laughed.
Marshall was always so decisive.
If he didn’t love anyone, then that’s it.
And there was no room for negotiation at all.
Without hesitating for a bit, Katherine deleted his contact information as well Then putting the phone
down, she looked out through the window and let out a long breath.
