I’m Sorry But I Love You

Chapter 11

‘lll take her with me now, and as for the deal, you have my word on that, Mr. Clark.” Owen’s words immediately caused uproar in the room as everyone was taken aback by his decision.

“I have heard that plenty of people are interested to have a hand in the Torres family’s project, but Owen has always turned them down.”

“Man, Owen is really willing to go overboard for Catherine by putting such a huge project at stake even though she has been put behind bars previously…”

“Don’t you know that the two of them are childhood friends? If Catherine has not fallen in love with Anderson, they might even have kids…”

“Hold your tongue right now if you don’t want to meet your end. Can’t you see Anderson’s petrifying look on his face?”

Joshua insisted to follow Anderson back after the meeting had ended on a sour note as he was concerned about his condition. Joshua asked him tentatively while they were in the car, “Do you want to drop by the hospital, Andy?”

Anderson shot him a glimpse as Joshua continued with a smirk on his face, “I’m just worry about you. What if it can’t be used anymore in the future, then that would be…”

Anderson cast a piercing side long glance towards Joshua which had instantly made him changed the topic of the conversation, “Don’t take it to heart, Andy. The Johnson family is always on good terms with the Torres family, plus Catherine and Owen have known each other since they were young, hence it is normal for them to be closed to each other.”

Although Anderson did not favor Catherine and had even mercilessly sent her to prison with his own hands, the sight of his ex- wife whom had given him a devastating kick in his balls throwing herself into

another man’s arms and calling his name affectionately would likely to be unbearable to take in even for most of the guys.

Anderson closed his eyes and stayed silent for a long time, and just wnen Joshua was about to fall asleep due to boredom, Anderson’s voice suddenly rang in the car as he finally opened his mouth, “Why has she become like this? Isn’t Catherine always the gentlest woman and has a tender heart back then?” His brows were knitted as he could still feel a dull pain throbbing in one part of his body.

Couldn’t you see that it was all because of you?

Joshua thought to himself, but he did not have the courage to blurt it out in the end, so only a deep sigh came out from his opened mouth, “Catherine has only been gentle to you all this while. When has she ever been that kind to someone else?”

Anderson disregarded Joshua’s words and continued with his own thoughts instead, “She gave Isabella a hefty shove and caused the death of two lives, so shouldn’t she be punished for what she had done?”

All he ever wanted was to avenge Isabella’s death, so why had things turned out this way?

He had always hated situations that had gotten out of hand as he could not control it.

Joshua tried to make him look at things differently as he asked tentatively, “Catherine’s frontal face was not shown in that video back then, and all we could discern from it was just a silhouette. What if it’s just someone whom had a similar back figure as Catherine?”

“That’s not possible. I could recognize her back even if she is burnt to ashes.”

Joshua muttered in his heart sullenly: Who was the one whom had always made out the back figures he had seen on the street as Catherine here?

“Be that as it may, Catherine had already paid the price now that her father and mother had both passed away. Truth to be told, I had always loved the cakes that her mother baked, and I only got to have a taste of them every time I tagged along with you to the Johnson family…”

Joshua babbled on while Anderson shut his eyes again, and it was hard to make out whether he was keeping his ears open, or he had fallen asleep.

It was at this moment that a hasty ringtone went off in the car…

On the other hand, Catherine’s body was shivering all over while she was sitting in Qwen’s car, “Do you have any water? I need to take my medicine.”

Owen brought out a glass of water from the fridge and passed it over to her as he urged, “Try to lessen your medicine intake as it’s bad for your current condition.”

“I’m fine,” Catherine answered as she pulled out a pill box from her bag and proceeded to put together some colorful pills on her palm. After that, she shoved them into her mouth and swallowed them without a single frown on her face.

After she had drawn her breath and felt much better, she finally opened her mouth, “I’ve screwed things up again. I reckon Anderson will not hand my kids over to me after this.”

“Don’t worry, you still have me. Just have a good rest tonight and I give you my word that you will be able to meet them tomorrow morning.” Owen brought out a blanket to cover her body.

Catherine managed to force a smile on her face, “Sorry for troubling you again.”

“Stop being so corny. You know our relationship is more than this.”

Catherine nodded and proceeded to close her eyes to get some sleep as she had mixed some sleeping pills in earlier while she was taking her medicine just so that she could fall asleep easier.

Madison Clark whom had been through ups and downs was pacing about in the hospital in an agitated state of mind.

“How is Sophia, Antonio? She hasn’t been eating much these few days, and she has suddenly fainted.”

“Sophia has congenital heart disease.” Lincoln pushed his way through and stared at Antonio while saying in a solemn tone. His words were like a bomb which had stupefied everyone around him except for Antonio.

Madison hurriedly spoke out after listening to his shocking revelation, “You can’t simply make things up, Lincoln.”

Lincoln carried on with a clear and calm voice without even glancing at Madison, “She had already undergone surgery for it, and the outcome of the operation was very successful back then. The attending doctor had mentioned that she would be able to live like a normal person if she ate and rest properly, as well as keeping her emotions in check.”

He seemed calm and collected while giving his explanation, but his hands that were hanging by his side which had been clenched tightly into fists and had given away his anxiousness.

“Okay, I gat it. I will perform a detailed examination on her, so don’t you worry too much, kiddo.” Antonio smiled while narrowing his eyes as he patted his shoulder.

The checkup had come to an end when Anderson had finally arrived at the hospital. He went straight to Antonio and asked, “How is Sophia?”

Antonio was washing each of his fingers thoroughly while asking in return with a smile on his face, “When has this romantic entanglement happened now that you have a pigeon pair all of a sudden?”

“Stop with the nonsense. How is she?” “She’s fine now.”

“However, you shouldn’t get your hopes up yet. She has gone through congenital heart disease surgery a few years ago, so be sure to keep in mind that she can’t have too much fluctuations in her emotions, and she has to maintain a regular daily routine.” C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

Just when Anderson had let out a huge sigh of relief, his last few words had caused his brows to be furrowed again, “Congenital heart disease surgery?”

“That’s right, it’s exactly as per what you have in mind. She has pediatric congenital heart disease since she is born, but she has fully recovered after the surgery. As long as she is mindful about her daily life, she is no different from a normal person.” Antonio wiped his hands dry and continued, “Both the kids are in the VIP1 room, Mr. and Mrs. Clark are in there staying by their side as well. It’s getting late, so it’s better for you to persuade them to head back home first. It’ll be worse if they are the next one to collapse from weariness after the kid.”

When Anderson had taken his leave to the ward, Antonio stared at Joshua whom had tagged along with a half-smile as he asked, “Okay, spill it. What’s going on with Anderson’s son and daughter?”

“Please don’t put on a smile like that, it’s pretty scary.” Joshua had no choice but to come clean about all that he knew from the beginning to the end due to Antonio’s arbitrariness.

He had even voiced his concern for Anderson’s body as he recalled with shudder, “Since you’re a doctor, I think it’s better for you to ask Andy about the condition of his shaft. I can clearly perceive that the force Catherine had exerted on her kick is very powerful.”

Antonio chuckled at his remark, “That’s Catherine for you.”

After Anderson was finally able to send his grandparents back home, he sat by the bed and stared at the little girl lying quietly on it while pressing his throbbing forehead. He had never imagined that he would still have kids in this life again after Isabella had passed away, so when he had found out about

Catherine secretly giving birth to his children, all he could feel was immense abomination and detestation towards her.

Why was it that Isabella and her baby were gone, but she got to give birth to a pigeon pair instead?

Anderson had never gotten to take a good look at the two children, and the only impression he had of the little girl was when she had rushed out suddenly and bitten his thigh. ..

When Lincoln had returned to the ward after requesting for some porridge from the nurse for Sophia, he could see Anderson sitting by himself beside her bed. He swiftly walked towards Sophia and held her hand defensively while asking in a calm manner, “Could you please let my mom come over, Mr. Clark?”
