Peter agreed without thinking, "Of course. As long as you’re allowed to leave hospital, I can pick you up
at any time. Just take a look at how your ex-husband treated you just now. Do you think he’ll leave you
by yourself?"
Katherine thought of how Marshall acted just now.
He was quite indifferent.
He looked serious while talking to her.
But judging from what he just said, it seemed that Marshall wouldn’t leave her like that by herself.
Katherine chortled. "Do I need him to take care of me?"
Peter took a quick glance at Katherine and went on playing mobile game, but still sighed, "Alas! What
can you do with a duplicitous woman?"
Katherine pursed her lips, saying no more.
She paused and tucked herself in, restless.
However, if one asked her what she was thinking about right now, she couldn’t tell you exactly either.
She seemed to have thought too much. Her mind was running through all the meaningful events that
had happened to her so far.
But seemingly, she couldn’t recall any, her mind was a blank.
After a while, Katherine turned over and had her back to Peter.
She said, “Just shut the door when you leave."
It was impossible for Peter to kept watching her for the night.
It wasn’t an appropriate thing to do for two single adults.
Now that Katherine was about to leave hospital, with her current body condition, she could pull off the
night alone all by herself.
Peter just agreed without saying anything else.
Katherine laid for a while before falling asleep. She didn’t know whether if Peter left or not.
However, she suddenly woke up at midnight.
The room was empty, just like the countless days and nights before.
She was on the bed alone, and the one who should appear on the other half of the bed never showed
up.
Katherine sat up slowly from the bed, the bed lamp was still on.
She took out her phone. It was midnight.
Usually, this was the time when one gets all sentimental, especially women.
Katherine thought for a while, took a picture of the back of her hand and posted it on Moments.
The wound was apparent on the back of her hand.
The picture captioned with sentimental words: Come to think of the things I feared the most in the past,
and now just so so…
Katherine didn’t know whom she wanted to show this post to either. Anyway, Marshall wouldn’t see it.
Not to mention now, even when they hadn’t deleted each other, Marshall didn’t seem to read her
updates either.
Thought about all these, finally Katherine lay down again.
She had tossed and turned for the rest of the night until the doctor came to check her condition in the
morning and told her she could leave hospital.
It was then that Katherine cheered up a bit.
Peter didn’t showed up in the morning, but ordered a takeout for her.
After the drip finished, Katherine didn’t wait for Peter and packed up.
Fortunately, she didn’t have a lot to pack.
Katherine sat on the bed after packing up.
Peter came in a hurry around 1 p.m.
When he came in and saw Katherine had already done the packing, he carried the bags. "Let’s go. I’m
still in the middle of something. I have to go back after dropping you off."
Katherine followed Peter out of the door. "What happened? You looked worry."
Peter answered, "There will be a meeting with WF Group. Your ex-husband and I have to attend it."
Katherine frowned. "Isn’t there also a dinner party at night? All together?"
Peter nodded. “Exactly, when the meeting is over, we’ll head straight for the dinner party."
Katherine thought for a while. "So you’re going to the dinner party with him, right?"
Peter answered without thinking. “Yes, since you’re OK now, I have to go with him. There must be
some situation to be dealt with at the dinner party, and your ex-husband will have less pressure if I’m
with him."
Katherine nodded slowly. "Alright."
Then she gave a smile. "There isn’t a better person for this job.”
Peter didn’t think much about Katherine’s word, only agreed with her.
