Deadly Doting Marriage - Chapter 18

Chapter 18

John leaned closer to Kathleen, and she caught a whiff of the faint tobacco smell on him, causing her to retreat and shook her head unconsciously. “No, I’m fine!”

“If you feel uncomfortable anywhere, you must tell the doctor or me!”

John stooped over and looked at her. “Don’t force yourself to resist the pain. Do you understand?”

“Yes, Young Master!”

Then, John fed her the last scoop of porridge and placed the empty bowl on the table. “Okay, you should get some rest. I’ll find the time to revisit you!”

Kathleen nodded her head. “Alright.”

He took another look at her before opening the door and left the hospital.

Kathleen watched him leave, and the light in her eyes became extremely complicated.

After John left the hospital, he drove back to Lambert’s residential villa.

John parked his car at the hall’s entrance, and as soon as he got out of the vehicle, he saw Sherri running out from the house.

He raised his brows and glanced at her. “Why are you here?”

Sherri hurriedly answered, “John, I heard Kathleen is hurt, so I’m here to visit her!”

John directly walked into the hall and replied in an indifferent tone, “She’s not at home, and she’s recuperating in the hospital!”

Sherri looked around and asked tentatively, “Oh? Are her injuries serious? Who hit her? These people are too brazen. How could they beat her up in broad daylight?”

John swept his gaze at Sherri. It seemed that he thought of something, and his expression instantly turned gloomy. “Sherri, do not let me found out you had done something behind my back! If I discover it, you and the Millans will disappear from Hillford!”

His voice was as sharp as a blade, and it was so cold that it made people tremble.

Sherri shivered, and she quickly said, “John, you’re overthinking! What… What can I do! Don’t worry about it. I only love you!”

Then, John cast a cold glance at her and ignored her, making his way upstairs.

In the hall, Sherri stood there unbudged, heaving a deep sigh of relief.

Fortunately, those hooligans were all dead!

Otherwise, John would surely get behind the matter by following the clues. If he found out who was behind the hooligans, she would be doomed…

She should just forget about it. Nevertheless, since Kathleen was not at home, she should pay her a visit in the hospital.

After giving it a thought, Sherri speedily left Lambert’s residence toward the hospital.

When she was at the hospital, Sherri asked the receptionist for Kathleen’s ward.

Kathleen was the most important VIP patient in the hospital. Besides, she was also a member of the Lamberts, so the nurses did not need to search for her and could directly tell Sherri her ward number.

Once Sherri got the information, she walked briskly to Kathleen’s room.

She pushed open the door and was greeted with a quiet and spacious ward. Kathleen was alone, sleeping on the hospital bed.

Then, Sherri walked toward Kathleen, and she saw the injuries on her face.

There were bruises and swellings on the once beautiful face. It seemed that Kathleen was really hurt severely.

Furthermore, Sherri could see two red and swollen marks on Kathleen’s exposed arms, obviously from someone grabbing her forcefully.

Sherri almost laughed out loud. Haha! The hooligans had done a great job. However, they should have hit her harder!

This idiot actually dared to seduce John. She deserved more than a death punishment!

Seeing this, Sherri was secretly cheering for a while. However, just as she was about to leave, Kathleen suddenly opened her eyes.

Her eyes were as dark as night. When she met Sherri’s gaze, it seemed that she understood everything.

Sherri looked away guiltily. “Kathy, you’re awake? I’m here to visit you!”

Kathleen replied calmly, “Are you here to see how badly injured I am? Or are you here to see if I’m disfigured?”

Hearing that, Sherri was stunned. She coughed and asked, “How could you say that? John took you in, and he’s my fiance! I’m just concerned about you!”

Kathleen’s lips twitched, and there was a hint of mockery in her eyes. “Is that so?” She still remembered that the hooligans mentioned ‘Ms. Millan’.

“You bribed those hooligans, right? After they hit me, you killed them to prevent them from telling the truth? Ms. Millan, your plan was truly flawless. However, Hillford is a society with law. Do you think you can get away with murder?”

Sherri was shocked. “Kathleen, don’t spurt nonsense. What do you mean by I bribed and killed them! That would be illegal! I won’t do something like this!”

“Humph! Only you are well aware of the situation!” Kathleen looked at her fiercely.

Sherri argued, “Kathleen, I know you are not fond of me, but no matter how much you dislike me, I’m still John’s fiancee! You shouldn’t slander me like this!”

Kathleen turned her gaze away and spoke unsympathetically, “Only you would know if that’s slander. Please leave. I want to rest.”

“Kathleen, I’m here because I want to discuss something with you.” Then, Sherri sat by Kathleen’s bed, whispering, “You’re already eighteen, and John is twenty-five. All these years, John had delayed a lot of matters just to take care of you. If you’re his relative, then I won’t say anything! However, you’re just an outsider, so why should he look after you and bear all pain for you?”

Kathleen watched Sherri silently, not saying a word.

“You must learn to be grateful for his help and not be so dependent on him, or even sleep with him at night!”
