Chapter 41
Catherine didn’t expect that she would cry to faint. When she woke up, it was already noon the next day. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Lincoln sleeping next to her.
She looked around the decoration in the room and realized that she was in Ziting Villa. Catherine smiled bitterly. She hadn’t expected that it was Anderson who took her in finally. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
Feeling the movements next to him, Lincoln woke up immediately. When he opened his eyes, his eyes were clear and sober. If it weren’t the fact that he was sleeping just now, nobody could tell that he had just woken up.
“Mommy, are you awake?” Lincoln whispered while lying next to Catherine, his eyes full of love to his mother. “How are you feeling now? I’ll call the doctor for you.”
After finishing his words, he ran out of the bedroom before Catherine could refuse. Shortly, Anderson and Antonio came upstairs.
Looking at Catherine, Antonio heaved a sigh. “I asked you to visit uncle and aunt, but I didn’t ask you to risk your life. Do you know how fragile you are now?”
Catherine bit her lower lip without speaking.
The woman, who was always beautiful and arrogant, looked pale and pitiful right now. Antonio didn’t have the heart to blame her too much. “You were caught in the rain and got a cold. I’ll prescribe some medicines for you. Remember to take them every day.”
Catherine nodded in agreement. “Thank you.” “You are welcome. Please don’t be so impulsive in the future.” Antonio patted on Catherine’s head with a smile.
Anderson, standing aside, saw them talking and behaving so intimately. He said to Antonio with a cold face, “Get out of here if you’re done.”
Ignoring him, Antonio measured the body temperature for Catherine and auscultated her heartbeat. Then he said, “You were just rescued from the jaws of death last time. Now you are still weak. You can’t act recklessly anymore.”
“As long as you are alive, you can do anything. Without your life, you can’t revenge at all.” Antonio’s words were full of implication.
Implied by his words, Anderson’s face was darkened. Looking at Catherine’s pale face, he kept silent. “I know.” She would try to suppress her emotion. But sometimes her illness broke up, she truly couldn’t control the physical reaction.
As if he knew what she was thinking of, Antonio added, “I’ve gathered a few medicines for those you asked for. I’ll find a replacement for the rest of them. Come to get them after you’ve recovered from the cold.”
Upon hearing that her medicines were found, Catherine looked delighted. “Thank you.” Antonio didn’t stay long. After prescribing the medicine for Catherine, he walked out of the bedroom.
After he walked out, Anderson followed him after glancing at Catherine. Looking at Antonio who was downstairs, he tried his best to suppress the anger and asked, “What kind of medicine did she ask for?”
As if he had known that Anderson would stop him, Antonio turned around with a smile. He didn’t hide it from Anderson. “They are for curing the major depressive disorder. She asked for the high-dose products that are not available in the market yet. They are only available in the lab of Owen Torres’ bio- pharmaceutical company.”
Upon hearing it, Anderson frowned deeply. “What if she doesn’t take them?” Antonio answered him ruthlessly. “She’ll die.” Anderson looked annoyed.
As if he hadn’t noticed Anderson’s expression, Antonio continued, “Last time she committed suicide because her depressive disorder broke up after she was stimulated. She couldn’t help but cut her wrist with a knife.
“It was not the first time for her to commit suicide. And for a patient with major depressive disorder, it wouldn’t be the last time.
“Anderson, I don’t know what has happened between you two back then. You said she had murdered Isabella. But I’ve been knowing her for more than twenty years. I don’t think Catherine is such a kind of person.
“In other words, she’s too arrogant to set Isabelle up with such a dirty trick. She should disdain to do so!
“Only you, who have loved Isabella too much that you went blind…”
After Antonio left, Anderson stood in the study. Although he was working, Antonio’s words kept reechoing in his mind. He was the person who was closest to Catherine.
What did they know? Why did they all look as if they knew Catherine much better than he did?
Andrew pressed out a cigarette irritably. He pushed the bedroom door open.
The woman, who was talking to their son with a smile, heard the noise at the door. She raised her face and the smile hadn’t faded yet, but her eyes already went arctic cold as soon as she saw the man come in.
Anderson, who felt irritated originally, became more annoyed. Lincoln sensitively sensed Catherine’s emotion change. His hand pulled hers and he whispered, “Mommy.” Hearing her son’s voice, Catherine
instantly looked down at him and said with a smile, “I’m all right.”
Seeing her like this, Lincoln felt sore in his eyes. “Mommy, you don’t need to force yourself to smile. Whatever you are in front of me, I love you the most.”
The little boy’s voice was sweet. Upon hearing his words, Catherine felt more bitterly in her heart. Reaching out to touch his soft hair, she realized that her children were the best comfort for her.
“Your mother is awake. You should go to school now.” Anderson’s words broke the scene of happiness.
Lincoln frowned. He looked up at Anderson. “I don’t want to go to school. I’ve already understood what’s taught in school. I want to stay here and accompany Mommy.”
Anderson pulled him up from the side of the bed. He said heartlessly, “Go to school. You don’t have rights to negotiate with me.”
Upon hearing his words, Lincoln gritted his teeth and looked at Anderson stubbornly.
Anderson also looked back at him.
The adult and the kid stared at each other in silence.
Their similar faces looked alike even when they were confronting each other.
“If you don’t go to school, I’ll separate you and Sophia. I’ll put you in different schools,” said Anderson evilly. Upon hearing his threat, Catherine was a bit angry. “Anderson Clark, why are you threatening a kid?”
She was fine if he threatened her, but he was threatening a kid. How said Lincoln would be!
Anderson cast her a glance and then looked at Lincoln. Without any expression in his eyes, he ordered, “Go to school. Will you take the initiative or shall I ask my bodyguard to take you there?”
Lincoln was so angry that he clenched his hands into fists, gazing at Anderson in hatred.
The way the little boy’s gaze was the same as the gaze from Catherine. Anderson felt more irritated. He directly made a call and asked a bodyguard to take him away.
“Mr. Clark, please don’t bother. I’ll go downstairs myself,” said Lincoln in a cold tone. Then he bent over and kissed on Catherine’s hand. “Mommy, I’ll come to see you after school.”
Catherine witnessed a five-year-old boy bear such violence, her eyes reddened. She hugged Lincoln gently. It was all because that she was incompetent. After Lincoln left, Catherine looked at Anderson. “You don’t love kids, but why did you have to take them away from me?”
“He’s the son of the Clark family, so he must stay here.” Anderson’s tone was indifferent. Seemingly he hadn’t realized that his threat hurt the boy just now.
Catherine knew him very well. She said with a wry smile, “You didn’t have a happy childhood and you still hate your father until now. Right now you have your own children. Why can’t you give your son a happy childhood?
“He’s just five years old, but he’s so mature. Do you feel happy when seeing him like this?” Catherine raised her voice. “Anderson Clark, are you really happy?” Anderson got angry. “Shut up.”
However, Catherine refused to shut up her mouth. She looked straight at the man calmly. “Anderson Clark, you are just a person who doesn’t have heart and can’t love. I used to want to teach you how to love, but now I understand — you’ll never be able to learn it.”
