Catherine''s POV


    ke and I went to the doctor. The doctor needed to take my temperature before making a diagnosis.


    I leaned on the bed and watched the nurse take the thermometer, shake it, and put it in my mouth.


    ke stood aside and watched.


    The nurse was experienced. But when I felt the thermometer, the coldness made me tremble a bit.


    Seeing that, ke frowned.


    His face went sullen, which made the nurse terrified.Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    After a few minutes, the doctor told ke and me that I had caught a cold. He asked us to stay here while he prescribed something for me. Then he left together with the nurse.


    I turned to look at ke. "I''m fine here. Go to work. I''ll take a taxi backter."


    "I''ll skip the morning. I''ll stay with you!" ke took a chair and sat down.


    I was surprised. He had a lot on his te, yet he was willing to spend all morning with me. I was very touched.


    "Will your work be affected?" I did not insist on letting him go. Call me selfish, but I just wanted him to stay and apany me.


    "No!" ke replied softly.


    We looked at each other and smiled.


    The atmosphere suddenly became intimate.


    "The kids are worried about you. Sure enough, you''re a great mommy!" ke suddenly found something to talk about.


    I blushed immediately. "I''m not. They were very disobedient when they were young, and I used to criticize them a lot. Maybe they are afraid of me!"


    "From now on, let me do the parenting, and you just need to be their great mommy," ke answered humorously.


    "Are you willing to do that?" I highly doubted it.


    ke thought and replied, "Hedwig always makes my heart soften, but I can be tough with Noah!"


    It was rare for the two of us to have time to chat like this. Time passed under our smiling gazes.


    Then the doctor returned to the ward and gave me some medicine.


    I took the medicine, and for the first time, I didn''t find it bitter.


    Perhaps it was because of the man sitting next to me.


    After a few more minutes, I got out of bed.


    At the side, ke asked with concern, "Feel better?"


    I nodded and said, "Yes. Let''s go home!"


    ke held my hand, took the elevator, went down to the hall, and left in the car under the gaze of everyone.


    In the car, he received a call from Hedwig, who sounded very excited on the other end of the line.


    "Daddy! Daddy! Can you hear me?"


    ke couldn''t help but chuckle. "Hedwig, is this your new phone?"


    "Yes! Emerson bought it for me. It''s pink. I like it so much!" Hedwig said excitedly.


    "I wanted to buy you one as well. But I didn''t, because I was afraid it would affect your studies. Well, as long as you like it!" Hedwig''s happiness made ke happy as well.


    I couldn''t help but tilt my head to look at him.


    ke put the phone on speaker, and I heard Hedwig''s voice, which sounded a little upset. She said, "Emerson said that I could only call you and mommy after ss. If I was caught on the phone in ss, he would ask the teacher to take my phone away!"


    I chuckled as well.


    "Mommy, are you there?" asked Hedwig.


    I said, "Yes, Hedwig. You need to listen to Emerson. Don''t y on your phone in ss. Understand?"


    "OK! I promise!" Hedwig nodded sensibly. Then she asked with concern, "Mommy, are you feeling better?"


    "Yes!"


    "Did you take medicine? Was it bitter?"


    "No. It was very sweet!"


    Hedwig immediatelyforted, "Mommy, when I go home after ss, I will take care of you, OK? Be good and listen to daddy!"


    Hedwig did not know how to express her concern. Her childish words made me both happy and distressed.


    "I see. I know that you care about me a lot. Alright, that''s enough for now. Go on with your sses!" I hung up the phone.


    "Why did you hang up so quickly? I haven''t said goodbye to Hedwig yet!" ke was dissatisfied.


    I said disapprovingly, "If I didn''t hang up, she could continue to chat with you till dark!"


    ke put the phone back.


    Seeing that, I leaned on his shoulder with satisfaction and sighed. "It is good to be sick. I now know that there are so many people who care about me!"


    "What are you talking about? What''s so good about being sick?" said ke.


    "ke, did Patricia really say that we could get married?" I still found it hard to believe. Maybe I was in a dream, and at some point, I would wake up, and everything would be back to reality.


    keforted me softly, "Yes. If you don''t believe me, you can ask her yourself!"


    "Yeah, right!" I muttered.


    I returned to thekeside vi alone, and after I rested for a while, I went downstairs and saw Patricia sitting on the sofa.


    She saw me and said, "Cathy,e here!"


    I froze. I didn''t expect that Patricia would call me that.


    Since Patricia had already taken the initiative to treat me nicely, I had no reason to y tough. I quickly walked up to her and said stiffly, "Patricia."


    "Sit." Patricia patted the seat beside her.


    I thought of what ke said and sat down obediently.


    "I said something I shouldn''t have said earlier. I hope you didn''t mind!" Patricia sighed.


    I smiled awkwardly and shook my head. "Of course not!"


    "Cathy, do you know why I am dissatisfied with you? Actually, it''s not because of you. I shed back to something that happened in the past, which overwhelmed me. I had mixed feelings, and I took it out on you. I hope you can understand me!" A sad expression appeared on Patricia''s face.


    I couldn''t help but be stunned. I looked at Patricia in surprise. "Patricia, may I know what you mean by something that happened in the past?"


    Patricia let out a self-deprecating snort. Then she said, "It all started from thest Lycan Luna. Back then, my son chose her to be his Lycan Luna despite my firm opposition. To be honest, I really didn''t like her. But I gradually made peace with it. I thought we could live a peaceful life like that. But it didn''tst long. Somehow, she got involved with one of my son''s best friends. She was adamant about leaving the kids.


    "It has been haunting me all these years, and that was why I took it out on you. But I believe that you are different from her. I give you my blessings," said Patricia.


    Her words made me very grateful.
