Deadly Doting Marriage - Chapter 17

Chapter 17

John spoke with clenched teeth, “Catch them. Find out who’s behind this!”

“The few hooligans were found dead by the sea. No one knew who threw them into the water and drowned them!”

John was slightly stunned. “What did you say? They drowned?”

“Yes, Mr. Lambert. I got this information from the police, therefore it won’t be wrong!”

Upon hearing that, John’s expression turned gloomy, and his dark eyes flickered with cold lights.

The men had just beaten up Kathleen, and they were already thrown into the ocean by someone? How could there be such a coincidence?

Were they murdered so that there were no witnesses left?

“Continue investigating it. I want to know the truth!”

When Karl heard John’s order, he immediately answered, “Yes, Mr. Lambert!”

After hanging up the call, John’s expression remained ugly.

Seeing the girl lying in front of him, with injury all over her body, John tried his best to suppress the anger in him.

Who dared to lay a finger on his people? That person was too brazen!

On the hospital bed, Kathleen seemed to have felt something, and she suddenly frowned, slowly opening her eyes.

John immediately leaned forward and whispered, “Kathleen, are you awake?”

Kathleen looked at John, and she wanted to say something. However, her injuries were too severe, and just as she tried to move her lips, she grimaced in pain.

The anger in John’s eyes was further ignited. He really wanted to tear the people who hurt Kathleen to pieces.

Nonetheless, he did not want to scare Kathlee, so he could only take a deep breath and control the fury in him. Then, he asked softly, “How do you feel? Does it hurt?”

Kathleen shook her head, murmuring, “Young Master, I’m fine. It’s just a simple injury, so don’t worry about me!”

Simple injury? She was beaten black and blue. How was it a simple injury?

Why was this woman always so stubborn?

She was already in such a state. Would it be so hard to admit that she was feeling weak?

Then, John held Kathleen’s hand, and his gaze was complicated. “Tell me, what happened? Why did they hit you?”

Hearing John’s question, Kathleen shook her head, and she did not answer him.

John comforted her by patting her. “Don’t worry. I’ll get to the bottom of this.”

“Okay, Young Master!”

When he heard her raspy voice, John frowned. Soon, he asked, “Are you hungry? Do you want to eat anything?”

“No, I don’t want to eat anything!”

“Then, get some rest. I’ll visit you every day!”

Kathleen nodded her head and once again closed her eyes.

John knew that she was too frail, so he did not bother her anymore. After arranging for their servant to look after her, he stayed behind for a while longer before leaving the ward.

As soon as he left, Kathleen instantly opened her eyes.

After that, she picked up the phone on the table with great difficulty, and she sent out a text, [Stop meddling in other people’s business!]

Truth be told, Kathleen’s injuries were rather severe. Her cheek, arms, stomach, and legs were wounded.

Thankfully, they were all superficial wounds, so it was easier to treat them.

John had found the best doctor to treat her, and her injuries healed even faster with the doctor’s treatment.

As usual, John entered Kathleen’s ward after work.

She was leaning against the head of the bed, trying her hardest to eat some porridge.

John’s face instantly turned cold, and he strode toward her, asking, “Where’s the maid? Why is she not taking care of you? Why is she not feeding you?”

Kathleen was stupefied when she saw John. “I asked her to leave.”

After all, Kathleen was not used to being served, so she had been eating by herself.

Then, John lowered his voice, “I’ll feed you!”

As he said that, he directly took over the bowl in her hand, sitting by her bedside.

Kathleen was dumbfounded, and she subconsciously refused. “Young Master, there’s no need for that. I can do it myself!”

“You’re not allowed to reject me!”

When she heard his bossy tone, Kathleen pursed her lips and did not say a word.

“You’re now a patient, and as a patient, you must be obedient!”

Kathleen remained silent.

“Come on, open your mouth!” John urged. His obsidian eyes fixed on Kathleen.

Kathleen had no choice but to widen her mouth submissively.

John stirred the porridge, scooped a spoonful, and fed Kathleen.

Kathleen gulped it down, only to notice that the porridge was sweet and delicious. She widened her eyes in surprise.

John sized her expression up and down, raising his brows. “What porridge is this?”

“It’s eight treasure porridge!”

“Is it delicious?”

Kathleen nodded her head. “It is!”

“If it’s good, then I’ll ask Barkley to make you eight treasure porridge every day.”

Hearing that, Kathleen shook her head. “There’s no need to trouble him!”

“It’s not troubling!”

Kathleen raised her head and looked at John, and her gaze flickered with complicated emotions.

“Don’t look at me that way!” John said indifferently, “You’re mine, and I won’t let anything happen to you!”

“The only thing you have to do now is to make sure your body recovers as soon as you can. Understand?”

Kathleen nodded. “Understood, Young Master!”

“It’s great that you understood.” John took another spoonful of porridge and fed Kathleen.

Under the bright light, John’s side profile was so handsome and delicate. Moreover, his long lashes were covering the pair of dark and profound eyes.

He occasionally glanced at Kathleen, and his eyes were twinkling with brilliant lights, causing Kathleen to feel her scalp tingling.

Her heart was beating wildly, and she felt something that she could not understand.

John looked at her worriedly. “What’s wrong? Does your chest hurt?”
