I’m Sorry But I Love You

Chapter 30

Anderson asked in a sudden. Lincoln recalled the scenes that had happened in those years and his eyes turned red. He raised his head to stop the tears from flowing down.

“The drugs are…”

Just as Lincoln was about to speak, a nurse ran out from the ICU ward joyfully, “Mr. Clark, the patient is awake.” Lincoln was happy to hear that, “May I see Mommy?”

“Hang on. I’ll ask a nurse to disinfect you first before going in.”

Antonio, who had just closed his eyes for a rest, also received the news. He quickly walked towards the entrance of ICU and said to Lincoln, “Come in with me.”

Anderson stepped forward and said in a low voice, “I want to go in too.”

Antonio glanced at him, “I have to tell you beforehand, it may not be a good thing for her to see you now.”

Anderson’s heart twitched.

“If you insisted on coming in, go change your clothes and wear a mask. We’ll go in together after getting disinfected.”

In the ward…

Catherine opened her eyes and looked at the white ceiling. She realized she had been rescued again.

She didn’t know how she felt. Disappointed? Or glad?

“Mommy, do you not want me and Sophia anymore?” Lincoln ran towards her bed and said with a crying voice.

When she heard Lincoln’s voice, she firmly leaned her head over and looked at him with a smile, “No, Mommy has regretted.” At that moment when she stabbed herself with the knife, she really wanted to die. That way, all her troubles would end. Even when she woke up just now, she was a little disappointed that she didn’t die.

But when she looked at Lincoln who was crying in front of her now, she hated herself for making such an irresponsible decision. Her children were still young and they needed her as a mother. She shouldn’t give up on herself.

Antonio did a checkup on her again. He was relieved when he saw that all her vitals and indicators were normal, “You’re fine now. You just have to take care of your wound well.”

“Okay.” Catherine nodded with her pale face, “How is Owen doing?” She had some vague memories in the process of the rescue, so she knew she had used Owen’s blood again this time.

“He’s lying on the bed next to you. He has fainted just now, but don’t worry. I’m right here.” Antonio’s tone was filled with confidence.

I trust you.” Catherine muttered weakly. Then, she gently looked at Lincoln, “Is your sister all right?”

“She’s staying with Mr. Walker outside. I’m worried that she would be afraid, so I didn’t let her come in.” Lincoln’s mood had gradually calmed down as he comforted Catherine.

After she had woken up, she asked about everyone around her. She even asked regarding the current situation on the Internet. However, she didn’t mention Anderson at all.

Anderson stood aside like an outsider. He only managed to spit out a few words after hesitating for a long time, “Are you all right?”

After asking that, he regretted what a silly question it was. Catherine smiled, “I’m fine. Thanks for sending me here, Mr. Clark.” She sounded polite but hostile.

It seemed like she wanted to distance herself from him immediately.

Anderson’s heart was in pain.

Anderson began to drive them away, “All right, you all should leave now. The patient needs to have a good rest. If her condition is stable after two days of observation in the ICU, she can be transferred to the normal ward.”

She suffered from a severe depression. When she wasn’t sick, she had a strong will to stay alive because of her children.

It was not even two days when she got transferred to the normal ward. Owen also stayed in the hospital for a few days due to excessive blood transfusion, but the Torres family didn’t leave his side.

He came to see Catherine before he was discharged from the hospital, “Take good care of your wound. I’ll come visit you again when I’m free.”

Catherine looked at his pale face and knew it was because he had transfused too much blood for her. She felt even guilty and muttered, “Owen, do you like me?”

The smile on Owen’s face stiffened and he remained silent.

“Before my family was ruined, all you wanted was to be a great pianist. In these few years, you had been involved in business affairs and made great progress. However, I couldn’t see your passion towards music anymore. You didn’t even touch the piano again.” Previously, she dared not speculate why Owen did all these for.

But she couldn’t stand to see him risking his life to do all these things for her sake.

Owen smiled and said, “I’ve played the piano for more than ten years, of course I’ll be bored one day. You’re just thinking too much.”

Catherine quietly stared at Owen, as if she wanted to see through him.

Owen tried to avoid, “All right, you should rest now. I’ll go back first.”

With that, he turned around and left.

Catherine called him, “Owen, my depression might not recover my entire life. When my depression occurred, I couldn’t control myself from committing suicide. No matter how much blood you have, it will never be enough for you to keep transfusing to me. This isn’t the first time that I’ve used your blood.”

Catherine closed her eyes, “I don’t want to make things hard for you, but you wouldn’t listen to me anyway. If you like me, we can be together. If you don’t, then let’s not meet again in the future.”

Owen put away the smile on his face and looked solemnly at her, “Do you know what you are talking about?”

‘I’ve never been more conscious than now. Let’s not meet anymore. If I get sick again and can’t be saved, do take care of Lincoln and Sophia for me. Please bury my ashes next to my parents.”

When Owen heard her talking so casually about death, he felt a little angry. He lowered his head and laid a kiss on Catherine’s forehead.

“I’m right here, I won’t let you die. We will get married once you’ve discharged from the hospital.”

Anderson sat in the office and looked at the two people through the surveillance camera of the hospital. He felt many emotions surging up his mind as he tightly clenched his fist. His anger was exposed all over his body.

Arthur looked at Anderson’s ghastly expression and said reluctantly, “Young master, the news about Ms. Johnson on the Internet has been taken down.”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Anderson turned his cold gaze away from the surveillance camera, “Have you found the photographer who took these photos?”

Arthur shook his head, “No. it was a public account who revealed these photos. I’ve contacted the owner of the account; he said someone asked him to expose it to the media. He posted these photos to gain popularity for himself. I’ve also investigated the person who contacted him to do so. It was an extracellular network IP address, so I couldn’t find anything.”

Anderson’s ghastly expression was even more obvious now. He got up and took his suit, “Continue investigating and cancel the next meeting that I have. I’m going to the hospital.”

After Owen had left, Catherine held her phone with difficulty to check the news on the Internet.

The news about her wasn’t trending much anymore, but there were still people who continued to give bad reviews on the comic website. She was still bothered by it. However, it was true that those things were really injected into her body. She couldn’t explain it, because she didn’t know who had injected it from behind.

She didn’t want to recall that dark moment in her life at all when she wanted to die so badly. Catherine closed her eyes in pain. She opened her eyes when she heard something at the door. She turned around and saw Anderson coming in with a cold face.

Catherine frowned, “What are you doing here?”
