Chapter 294


    Catherine''s POV


    I was very happy that ke''s good friends, Benjamin and Howard, visited me. After we chatted for a while, I felt a little tired, so they went to the corridor for small talk.


    Suddenly, I heard a noise outside the door, but I was not worried. ke had six wolf guards stationed at the door of my ward. He wouldn''t allow danger toe near me.


    I suddenly realized that the person speaking outside the door was Troy. He had a loud voice, and I could hear him in the ward.


    "Catherine is my adopted daughter. Why aren''t we allowed to see her? I have something to ask her. Get out of our way!" Troy shouted.


    I thought for a few seconds and then went to open the door.


    "Catherine, finally! You wicked woman! Give us Gina back!" As soon as Elena saw me, she pounced at me. However, she was blocked by a guard. The guard turned to me and said, "I''m sorry, Lycan Luna. Did they wake you up? We will drag them down right away."


    Looking at Troy and Elena, I felt hurt inside.


    "What do you want?" Instead of avoiding them, I stood behind the guards and said to them.


    Troy questioned me angrily, "Gina is your sister. Why would you want to hurt her? She is insane now. You''re so vicious! Catherine, we didn''t ask you for anything after you were with King ke. Why are you so determined to hurt Gina? How can you be such a horrible person?"


    Troy looked so sad and it upset me as well. However, I did not think I had done anything wrong.


    "Alpha Wyatt, thanks for bringing me up. But I can''t let you call me vicious. Back then, you came to me, begging me to cut her loose. I said yes and forgave her. Gina is the one who can''t stand seeing me live a better life. I almost died in this ident. It was Gina who asked Jack to scheme this ident. If you still think she''s the victim, then I have nothing else to say to you. Go back. We should never see each other again!" I told them all I wanted to say and then shut the door.


    I leaned against the door and listened to Elena curse at me outside.


    Troy was not my biological father, but he raised me. I cared about them. What I had just said hurt them and myself as well.


    "Catherine, you wicked bitch! I''ll curse you for the rest of my life!" shouted Elena.


    I knew she didn''t give a damn about what I said. All she cared about was the fact that I hurt Gina.


    The guards warned them, "You should leave now."


    Elena still shouted and cursed.


    It seemed that Troy got my point, so he didn''t join Elena.


    "Let''s go!" Troy turned around and grabbed Elena. "Stop making a scene!"


    "Troy, what about Gina?"


    "We can''t afford more idents. I''m sure Gina will get better. She needs us." Troy was more clear-headed.


    Tears ran down my cheeks. I didn''t want more pain between us from now on. I hoped everyone could be more rational.


    ke sent Benjamin and Howard away and came back. Meanwhile, Troy and Elena had already left.


    I was lying on the bed, checking my phone. My injury had almost recovered, and I could move around more freely.


    "Are you sure you want to be discharged tomorrow?" ke walked to my bed, sat down, and asked me softly.


    After the car ident, ke sounded even more gentle than before.


    I put down the phone, looked at him, and nodded. "Yes. I don''t want to stay here anymore. I want to go home."


    I stayed here for more than a week. I hated it here.


    "But the stitches on your head will be taken out tomorrow. Don''t you need a few more days of observation?" ke said, worried.


    I shook my head. "I''lle back and get checked out by the doctor again. Don''t worry. I will be fine. With you by my side, I''ll recover quickly."


    "Alright then. Since you don''t like staying here, we''ll go home. But I don''t want to see you at the office for the next month," ke said seriously.


    "OK. I won''t. I can work at home!" I was a designer, and I could work wherever I wanted. All I had to do was deliver my work to Melinda on time.


    "I want you to forget about your work and rest," ke said, looking distressed.


    "I like drawing. Don''t stop me, OK? I promise. My health is my priority," Iforted him with a smile.


    Meanwhile, someone knocked on the door. ke and I turned around together and saw Melinda standing outside with a bouquet.


    "I just got off the ne and heard that Catherine had a car ident. I was so worried. I am happy that you''re recovered," Melinda said.


    "Melinda!" I was overjoyed.


    ke nodded. He got up and said, "I''ll leave you guys to chat."


    Melinda greeted ke, "King ke, I hope I''m not interrupting."


    "No." ke nodded and walked out.


    Melinda patted her chest. "Cathy, do you know how worried I was? You have no idea! When I got a call and heard that you were in a car ident, I felt like being punched in the face. How could this happen?"


    "''Melinda, thanks for rushing back to see me. I was being careless. You warned me about Ginast time, and I still let her get her way," I mocked myself.


    "Really? Was it Gina? That horrible woman! She will be punished!" Melinda was very angry.


    "She is crazy now. I guess that''s her punishment," I said sarcastically.


    Melinda was surprised. "Is she crazy? Well, she deserves it. She has been trying to hurt you all this time, after all."


    I was still very touched when I saw how furious Melinda was. I said gently, "Forget it. It''s all in the past now. I don''t want to talk about it anymore. Melinda, I don''t think I can show up at work like this. I''m gonna need a long leave. Is it OK?"


    "Of course. But now there''s a rumor around the office that you got into an ident, because you were dumped by King ke, and you were in a bad mood," said Melinda angrily.


    I was stunned when I heard Melinda''s words. It seemed that no one knew that Gina was behind all this. They thought the breakup was the reason that got me into a car ident.


    "Melinda, it''s OK. Don''t take their words seriously. I know what happened between me and ke, and that''s enough." I didn''t want Melinda to have a problem with someone because of me.


    "King ke and you love each other so much. They are just jealous of you. Even if you two break up, it has nothing to do with them!" Melinda was still furious.


    I smiled, "Well, I won''t let any woman get close to ke."


    Melinda also smiled, "That''s the spirit!"N?velDrama.Org owns this text.
