Chapter 36
While thinking of what to do, his phone rang and seeing the caller ID, he answered, "Donna, you have
put me in a mess. The god of war himself saved Katherine."
"Are you for real?"
"He even carried him a in a bridal style out of the forest. He seems to care for her. Now he had asked
me to bring the woman he stopped from killing Katherine. That woman will definitely confess I sent
him," the Grandwar king said.
Donna had called him to ask if Katherine was already dead. She didn''t expect to hear this sad news.
"You know what to do. Don''t call me again," Donna said and hung the call up.
The Grandwar king gritted his teeth in anger, he should have rejected Donna''s proposal. It was his
greed for money that made him ept. He ced his two hands around the woman''s neck but a loud
gun jerked him off.
He turned and surprisingly saw Alessio and a couple of soldiers with her, "why are you trying to kill
her?"
Derrick had sent Alessio to secretly follow the Grandwar king to the forest cause he suspected him.
This Grandwar king stood in fear and shivered in the mouth. Before he could say a word, Alessio
Although the woman was still lying unconscious, she was taken away still. The Grandwar king was also
handcuffed and taken away.
About an hourter, two doctors walked outside to meet Derrick where he stood. The atmosphere of
the medical building had turned cold cause of the presence of the god of war. Every workers there were
being watchful of their acts.
After the two doctors had saluted him, one of them said, "she hasn''t regained consciousness yet but
we have dealt with her wound."
"When will she recover?"
"In a couple of hours, Marshall. We have administered all necessary treatment to her," one of them
said.
"I believe I can go in?" He asked.
"Sure, sir." One of the doctor''s answeres and they both watched as Derrick walked inside.
"What do you think is going on between Marshall and the surgeon General? He even carried her in his
arms..." The first doctor asked the second doctor.
"Perhaps, he likes her. He had never given a damn about anyone, he kills both males and females,
he''s not gender biased yet the Surgeon General from Eastern Ocean City is making him act strangely.
Who could have known that the god of war could carry a woman in pain in his own hands?"
"Well, the surgeon General has three kids so I doubt if anything romantic can ever subsists between
the god of war and the surgeon General," the doctors continued gossiping as they walked away.
When Derrick appeared inside Katherine''s ward. Perhaps because she was the surgeon General, her
ward wasrger and extremely beautiful. It doesn''t look like that of a sick person at all. It looked like a
He stood by her side and examined her petite face, looking at her intently now, he found her to be very
beautiful. He had gone to the forest behind the training ground to secretly supervise the activity of the
generals but he unexpectedly saw one of the generals who happens to be a female trying to kill
another general. It was after kicking the general trying to murder another general that he found out that
the one who was about to be killed was Katherine.
Katherine was his nominal wife and it was just normal for him to care for her expecially when he saw
her in pain. While looking at her face and hoping she recovers consciousness in a couple of hours as
the doctor had predicted, her eyes suddenly opened.
It was so unexpected that their eyes locked up for a few seconds. Derrick eventually spoke, "I''m d to
see that you are awake."
"Marshall..." She called gently, "thank you. I could have died but you saved my life." Derrick watched as

her moist lips moved up and down. He could barely hear what she was saying, instead, his eyes were
focused on her lips as if longing for something.
"You look beautiful," he suddenly said.
Katherine was taken aback by his words, "Marshall..."she blushed greatly, her cheek turning red. She
almost covered her face with the duvet. She then tried to sit upright, Derrick then held her arms trying
to help her to stand but Katherine''s hand slipped and her back fell back to the bed, instinctively, she
dragged him closer to himself making Derrick''s body lean closer to hers. Infact, his face was just a inch
away from hers.
Seeing how close their lips were, Katherine''s heart skipped in fear, she hadn''t done that on purpose but
now, what she did had put the both of them in an awkward situation.
Derrick kissed her lips softly and stood upright. Katherine blushed greatly that she lost all the strength
to look at his face. Did the god of war just kissed her? Was she dreaming?
"You are the first woman I''ll ever kiss," he said coldly but calmly.
Katherine just lowered her eyes as if she had closed it. He then put his hand under her bacm and
pulled her up gently, "how do you feel now? Your leg?" He asked and looked at her legs that had
bandage around it.
"I''ll heal soon, you don''t have to worry about me, Marshall," she said. She was still yet to recover from
his kiss. It''s not like she hasn''t kissed before, it''s just that Marshall''s kiss felt very different and sweet.
If it was left to her alone, she would have devoured his lips like it was a lollipop sweet. Their
rtionship was a nominal one, one without love. They just had to marry cause his mother wanted it.
The marriage would be over in four months time when she would be leaving back to Eastern Ocean
city.
"Katherine, if Richard isn''t the father of the kids, who is the father then?" Derrick asked.
"Can you sit, Marshall, please? You have been standing since you came around," Katherine said,
looking at his extraordinary handsome but ever cold face.
He nodded and went to sit then set his curious gaze at him.
"Actually, many years ago, I was set up and ended up having sex with a stranger, I didn''t get to see his
face. This was why Richard divorced me, because he found out I slept with another man. He didn''t
understand that I was a faithful wife only that I was set up," Katherine exined.
"So you may never get to see their father. There are over one million men in our city, how could you
possibly find the man who had sex with you then cause clearly, the man would be the father of the
kids." Derrick said.
"Most definitely cause I didn''t get intimate with anyone else," she said.
Derrick thought and after a few seconds said, " Or maybe those who set you up know whom this
person is? Do you want to ask them?"
"Marshall, may I ask why you are so keen about the fatherhood of my children. Firstly, you had asked
me to go ahead and tell Richard that he''s their father and now that Richard turned out not to be their
father, you want me to ask those that set me up whom the man I had sex with many years ago is?" She
asked.
Derrick nodded, "I have my reasons."
"Please tell me your reason, Marshall."
"I like your kids. But unfortunately, I can''t act in full capacity as a father as I really wished to. I have to
be sure that their father is no where in sight before I act in full capacity as a father. But if their father is
nearby, it will be unfair to take his ce," Derrick said.
"I''m actually not interested in knowing whom my kid''s father is. I raised my kids by myself for six good
years, I am capable enough to raise them. And you can feel free to act as their father, after all, we are
married even though it doesn''t look like it," she said.
"You know those who set you up, right? Ask them whom the man they set you up with is," Derrick said.
Although he didn''t sound like he wasmanding her, he still sounded like he didn''t give her a choice
but to do what he wants.
"It will sound awkward asking my enemies such questions," she mumbled and sighed. She then looked
up at Derick, "Marshall, I''ll do this but can this be thest time you will tell me to do stuffs regarding my
children''s father?"
"After this, I won''t bother you anymore. You have my word," he said and then stood, "I''lle back to
check on you."
"Alright, thank you Marshall," Katherine said and watched him walk away.
