Chapter 72
Catherine’s How
Al ke’s insistence, we went to the best hospital in Sayreville, though it was rtively far from the
lakeside vi,
After the doctor examined Hedwig, we gave her something to reduce her lever. Soon, Hedwig, started
to swear, and she was no longer burning
The doctor said that Hedwig’s fever was because of her inmed throat,
The doctor prescribed some medicine and told us to go back to see how things went. If Hedwig didn’t
get better, we had toe back tomorrow for further treatment,
On the way back, I was a little tired. Hedwig was in ke’s arms, and I leaned against the back seat
with my eyes closed.
Maybe I was too sleepy. I just wanted to take a nap, yet I fell asleep.
I slept soundly and did not realize that I was leaning against ke’s shoulder.
The car drove back to the vi.
It was already past four in the morning.
I woke up and suddenly found my head resting on something warm. I froze.
Then I looked up and saw ke’s tired eyes.
I quickly sat up straight from his embrace, my face burning.
“Go back and get some sleep.” He sounded fatigued, which was rare.
I followed ke silently and went to my room. As Hedwig’s fever subsided, she slept restfully.
ke looked at her sleeping face. Then he turned and saw how sleepy I was. He said, “Take a day off
tomorrow and go to work the day after tomorrow. Hedwig should stay at home tomorrow too.”
OK.” I nodded. I couldn’t work with Hedwig sick anyway.
“Do you need me to sleep here?” asked ke,
His words woke me up. Instantly, I wasn’t drowsy anymore. I immediately shook my head and said,
“No. You should go back to your room.”
“Fine. If anything happened, be sure to let me know at once.” He sounded disappointed.
“I will. But I hope you won’t hurt my hand again.” The pain in my wrist was still lingering.
“I won’t. And you should call out to me instead of touching my body all of a sudden,” said ke.
1 froze. For some reason, I blushed again. “Alright. I won’t touch you.”
ke suddenly let out a meaningfulugh. I looked at him in confusion.
“Don’t you think we’re touching on an intimate topic now?” ke said lightly.
I thought about our conversation, and my heart beat faster.
“Get out. I’m going to sleep!” I was a bit pissed off. He diverted my attention before I could realize it.
ke turned around and walked to the door. When he opened the door, he suddenly turned around
and said in a hoarse voice, “To be honest, I don’t hate the way you touched me…”
“Don’t be so cheeky.” I was furious. Why couldn’t he just let me off the hook? I was embarrassed
enough
ke’s smirk came from outside the door. I was so ashamed that I wanted to vanish at once.

I didn’t want to touch him at all! What a narcissist!
I slept soundly in the car back then. Now that I was in bed, suddenly, I couldn’t sleep at all.
It was strange and depressing. I leaned over and pulled the quilt gently over Hedwig’s body.
When I couldn’t go to sleep, I started to think I thought of what he said just now and inexplicably felt my
face heat up.
Was he implying something?
What a jerk Why did he make such a joke?
I made up my mind. If he said things like that again, I wouldn’t talk to him!
When I woke up the next day, it was past 10 a.m.
I sat up and checked the rm clock Someone had turned it off.
It must have been ke. Did he turn it off in order not to wake Hedwig up?
Well, he was a responsible father. I’d give him that.
After I washed up and changed my clothes, I decided to go downstairs and get something to eat first. I
didn’t want to wake Hedwig up. She should sleep a bit longer.
When I went down the stairs leisurely, suddenly, I saw someone.
I stopped and stared at the young man sitting on the sofa with some surprise.
It was Leo!
Why was he here?
When Leo heard footstepsing from upstairs, he looked up. When he saw me, he was stunned as
well.
“Catherine?” He stood up stiffly from the sofa. He asked in surprise and anger, “Why are you at ke’s
ce?”
I pursed my lips and continued to walk down. I said lightly, “You have to ask him.”
“Don’t tell me you’re ke’s mate!” Leo’s face was full of disbelief.
I frowned slightly. “You are so superficial. Hasn’t ke told you yet?”
Being called superficial made Leo pull a long face. Just then, his phone rang.
His eyes were still fixed on me while he put the phone close to his ear. I heard ke’s voice.
“ke, why are you calling me instead of using Mind-Link?” Leo said while looking at me warily.
“How do I know you’re not already back in Sayreville?” ke snorted.
“Yes, I’m back Because I’ve got something to deal with. I’m at yourkeside vi right now. Guess who
I saw here? A woman ke Vou have a unique tastellon rice hic voidan
c e that could hear as well
I wanted to ignore him, yet I still couldn’t help being a little angry at what he said.
ke was also stunned. “What are you doing at my ce so early in the morning?”
“That’s not important now. Just tell me this. What is your rtionship with Catherine?” While Leo was
asking, he sized me up, as if he wanted to see something good in me.
“Leo, don’t be rude to her. And she told mest night that you wanted to make my kids stars. You’d
better drop that thought. Do you want your nephew and niece to be in the spotlight?” ke said
seriously.
When Leo heard ke’s words, his eyes widened in shock. He stared at me in disbelief.
“What? ke, did you just say that the two kids were yours? Are you sure?” asked Leo in surprise.
ke was so pissed off that he smiled. “Of course, I’m sure. Don’t you think that they look a lot like
me? And I’ve checked with the pack doctor already.”
“I see. Congrattions.” Leo sounded jealous.
“Stay for dinner tonight, and I’ll introduce you to the kids. And keep this between us for now. Don’t tell
Grandma and Grandpa just yet. Remember!” After saying this, ke hung up.
Leo’s hand holding the phone dropped feebly. He red at me, who was drinking water in the dining
room.
“Catherine, how could you? You knew the kids were ke’s, but you still kept me in the dark yesterday.
You made me a joke! You did that on purpose, didn’t you?”
