Reborn of Kate by Isla Rainfield

Chapter 87 Dependency 

Simon quickly arranged for Ruth and Holly’s discharge from the hospital. 

After all, this private hospital belonged to the Davison Group, and staying there made them feel constantly watched. Furthermore, what would happen if Kate interfered with Ruth’s recuperation, causing permanent harm to Ruth’s hand? 

They couldn’t take that risk. 

Watching Simon lead Ruth and Holly out of the hospital, Kate leisurely sipped her lemonade, a cold smile playing on her lips. 

She observed that the couple was so affectionate with each other. It was obvious they had been together for a long time. Simon’s ability to be so intimate with Ruth while pretending to be deeply in love with Kate was impressive. 

Why didn’t Simon pursue an acting career? With his skills, he could win an award for being the 

best actor. 

George stood behind Kate; the butler couldn’t help but speak up as he watched them leave. “Ma’am, are we just going to let them go?” 

Kate chuckled softly and said slowly, “Of course not; the real show is yet to come. Ruth’s hand can’t be ruined so soon. If it were, it would be too simple for her.” 

She planned to elevate Ruth and Simon to a high position and then ruthlessly knock them down. 

She wanted them to experience the fall from grace, from being on top to being in the dirt. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

George shivered slightly at the mocking smile on Kate’s face. 

His madam had become more and more like his boss. George could sense the same intimidating presence in Kate that he felt from Eric. 

Three days later, Eric finished his business in Belford and returned to Capital City. 

During those three days, Kate frequently messaged Eric, sharing snippets of her daily life and bragging about how she dealt with Ruth and Simon. 

Even though Eric’s responses were always lukewarm, typically a simple ‘Hmm, Kate remained undeterred. She eagerly shared her updates with him. 

When Eric read those messages, a gentleness grew in his eyes. Kate’s presence seemed to gradually warm his heart, and he found himself yearning for her warmth. 

Kate… 

Eric’s eyes darkened as he pressed his fingers to the center of his brows.

“Eric!” 

As Eric and Lucas exited the airport, Eric spotted Kate rushing towards him. She arrived with the help of George and a group of bodyguards. Her face was beaming with a smile. 

Dressed in white casual wear with a high ponytail, she looked both radiant and energetic. She threw herself into his arms without hesitation. 

Eric’s body stiffened. 

Instinctively, he wanted to hug her back, but he forced himself to resist the urge. 

Surrounded by her pleasant scent, he felt an inexplicable sense of peace. 

“Eric, I missed you.” 

Kate stood on tiptoe and whispered in Eric’s ear. 

Her warm breath brushed against his ear, sending tingles down his spine and carrying her scorching heat. It seemed to ignite Eric’s entire heart in an instant. 

A surge of heat rose from deep within him, spreading throughout his body before concentrating on a specific area in the lower part of his body. 

Eric gave no response. 

He stared expressionlessly into the distance. His earlobes flushed red, and he asked in a hoarse, cold voice, “Are you done?” 

Though his voice was cold and distant, the slight rasp added a hint of allure. 

Kate hugged him tighter and muttered, “Not enough. You were away for so many days, and you didn’t take me with you.” 

Eric said nothing. 

Eric pressed his lips together. 

The woman in his arms was now a soft, clingy girl. Her eyes and heart were filled with dependence on him. 

Lucas, George, and the other bodyguards discreetly looked away, pretending not to see the intimate scene. 

In their hearts, they were screaming berserkly in joy. 

The couple were indeed a perfect match! 

If only it could stay this way forever. Their boss wasn’t unloved, after all.
