Chapter 293
Blake's POV
"I wish I could grow up in the blink of an eye. So I could protect Mommy and stupid Hedwig," Noah said.
I patted Noah on the shoulder with relief. "Don't worry. I'm sure you'll be a tough man in the future. We will protect them together!"
"No! Daddy, you failed to protect Mommy. I don't trust you anymore!" Noah said.
I didn't know what to say.
Fortunately, we arrived at the hospital soon after. I took them out of the car and came to Catherine's ward.
Catherine heard Noah and Hedwig's voices. She was excited to see them and hugged them.
"Mommy, are you getting better? Stay away from those bad guys from now on. Don't let them hurt you again!"
"Mommy, I am so scared. I miss you so much!"
When Noah and Hedwig saw Catherine, they quickly told her about their concerns.
Catherine crouched and held them tightly.
"Noah, Hedwig, I miss you too!" Catherine choked.
I was filled with joy, watching them holding each other like that.
After a while, Noah and Hedwig asked about Catherine's recovery.
"Mommy, did you hurt your head? Was your head bleeding?"
"If you hurt your head, will you lose your memory? Will you forget about us?"
They were getting more worried as they thought so.
Catherine chuckled. "My memory is fine. I'd rather forget about myself than forget you two."
I stood aside and watched them silently. I shared the same fear with Noah and Hedwig. I was terrified when I saw her being pushed into the operating room.
Catherine was the most important person in our lives. We couldn't afford to lose her.
Dowen stood at the door. I could tell that he had something to say to me.
I walked out of the ward and took him to the corridor. I didn't want to disturb Catherine and the kids.
Dowen told me that Gina was sent to the mental hospital. She grasped the trophy the whole time and kept saying that I was her boyfriend.
I stopped Dowen because I didn't want to hear anything more about Gina.
I should spend more time with Catherine.
I turned and walked into the ward. I walked towards my mate, the love of my life. NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
I kept Catherine's accident a secret, but my friends, Howard and Benjamin, still found out about it.
They called me and said that they wanted to pay a visit to Catherine.
I was glad to see them.
However, there were things that I couldn't tell them in the ward. So, after they visited Catherine, we went to the smoking area at the end of the corridor.
"I'm surprised. Gina was so obsessed with you back then, and you ignored her. Now she dared to hurt Catherine. She crossed the line. I'm sure you hate Gina's guts," Howard smiled.
"That's why I didn't let Gina slide." I took a hard drag on my cigarette.
"Did you send her to prison? Well, she deserves it. She's such a vicious woman and should be locked up, so she won't be able to harm others," said Benjamin angrily.
"She has lost her mind. She is in a mental hospital now." I had seen the video of Gina going crazy. I believed I drove her crazy.
"Do you think she might be pretending? Is this her way to avoid jail time? Don't forget how cunning she is. You need to be careful," Howard reminded me.
"I don't think she is acting. Do you think she can fool me by pretending to go insane?" I asked people to observe her, and double-checked with the mental hospital.
Gina wasn't pretending. She truly went insane, and her behavior was abnormal.
Benjamin nodded. "Makes sense. It's impossible to lie to you. She got what she deserved."
"Anyway, I won't pity a woman like her!" Howard shrugged.
They were both in good spirits, so I knew they were doing well. I asked, "How are you guys doing these days?"
Benjamin looked at Howard enviously at once. "He has already found his mate and has a baby. Good days await."
Yet Howard said with grievances, "There's been some misunderstanding between us. I hurt her before. For now, I just want her to stay with me. I want nothing but to see her every day."
"Listen to yourself! That doesn't sound like you, Howard." Benjamin was in disbelief.
I reached out and patted Howard on the shoulder, encouraging him, "Ben won't understand how we feel now. He'll know what happiness is like after he has kids."
Howard nodded in agreement. "You are right."
Benjamin sighed and said, "You both have children, but neither of you is married. Well, that's a relief."
Howard and I were amused by Benjamin's expression.
"Blake, is something bothering you?" Howard asked me out of the blue a few seconds later.
"I'm fine," I replied.
He was right, but I did not intend to tell them.
"If there is anything we can help you with, just say it. We are your best friends," said Howard.
"He's right. Let us know when you need us!" Benjamin added quickly.
I sighed. Even if I asked for their help, they couldn't do anything about my current situation.
"I'm fine. For real. You guys should go. Cathy will be discharged tomorrow. Thanks, guys!"
After sending them away, I lit a cigarette. Looking at the burning cigarette, I was lost in thought.
I pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray and took out my phone.
I called Dowen.
"Check this number for me," I said.
"Sure, King Blake. What's the number?" Dowen answered immediately.
I had a perfect memory and recalled the number I saw on Catherine's phone.
I had done some digging already. It wasn't Harley's number.
I had always suspected that Catherine had another wooer, but she had been evasive on the subject, and I did not want to force her to tell me.
However, for some reason, I just couldn't get over it. It always disturbed me. I felt the urge to get to the bottom of it. The text I saw was imprinted in my mind, and I couldn't just ignore it.
Besides, when Catherine was in surgery, Leo was also here. He was very scared and worried, which looked weird to me.
When I brought this matter up, Catherine's reaction was also strange.
What was going on between them?
I was busy taking care of Catherine in the hospital these days, so I didn't have time to think about these things. But now, I was determined to solve this puzzle, or those horrible thoughts in my mind would tear me apart. They would drive me crazy.
One was the woman I loved the most, and the other was my beloved brother. What exactly happened between them?
However, I believed that Catherine loved me.
