Chapter 16 You’re Awake
However, she was worried about her parents because she knew that she was precious to them and
she had their love. When she thought about them, she tried to wake up but failed.
When she woke up again, it was noon. It turned out that she lived after all. Opening her eyes, she saw
the ceiling spinning. At this moment, her smartphone rang.
Using almost all her strength, she grabbed it right in front of her and unlocked it to read Jasmine’s
message.
“Areza is just so beautiful, Cath. I’m so happy.” Along with the message, there was also a photo of
Jasmine and Ryan.
In the photo, they gazed affectionately at each . other and joined their hands in the shape of a heart.
Behind them was a beautiful beach, blue sky and see. It looked beautiful and romantic.
Even though she was so upset that she could die right now, her best friend was happy now, so she
smiled weakly.
As she smiled, tears began to roll down her cheeks silently because she realized that no one cared if
she was happy or sad. While she suffered the pain, the man who had stayed by her side for the past
two years and who she had thought would stay with her for the rest of her life was enjoying his life with
another woman. How could she be happy?
Yet, what could she do about it? Did she really hope that he would save her? Who was she to him?
She was just a pathetic mistress he didn’t even have to pay a single cent for. Therefore, she wasn’t
even worth a single cent.
Immediately, her tears fell crazily, and it helped – alleviate her fever. As she continued crying in her
immense despair and sorrow, she fainted once more.
“Catherine! Catherine!” someone called out to her in horror. Although she could vaguely hear it, it
sounded distant.
It was probably another dream. After all, no one could enter this apartment aside from Ryan but he was
in Areza, was he not?
Therefore, it could only be an illusion, so she closed her eyes, not feeling the tears that rolled down her
both cheeks.
After a while, she heard some anxious question.
“How is she?”
“Tell me, how is she doing?”
“Is she in danger? Hurry up and tell me!”
Gradually, the questions sounded more and more urgent. In her trance, she could recognize that it was
Ryan’s voice.
Was he back? When she heard him ask so anxiously, was it because he worried that something might
happen to her? Was it because he cared about her?
“Wake up! Wake up right now! Why aren’t you waking up?” At that moment, she felt as though her
hands were wrapped in a large warm hand that warmed her freezing body.
Since it was impossible for Ryan to treat her so tenderly, those hands had to be Cayden’s. After all, he
was the only one who would care about her so much. When she thought of that, she felt warmth on her
back too. It was as if someone was hugging her.
Was she dead? But she would feel colder if she were. Instead, she felt warm.
Catherine seemed to have been in a trance for an eternity, the sky seemed to darken again outside.
This time, she was running for her life inside a villa. Then, she saw a man lying on a patch of grass
outside the villa, motionless.
‘Who is he? Is this a dream? It can’t be.’ At least, she didn’t think it was. This should be real… Her
head hurt so much that it felt like it was about to explode.
“You’re awake?” When she heard a man’s voice, she slowly opened her eyes and found that she was
put on a drip.
Turning her head, she saw Luca sitting by the bed.
Trying her best to look around the ward, she she didn’t know what she was looking for.
“I am here alone. Mr. Walker is still in Areza. Are you feeling better now?” Luca sounded indifferent but
Catherine did not know why.
“Oh!” She sounded disappointed now. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
“Is this the hospital? How did I get here?” Catherine asked with her hoarse voice.
“I‘ve found you were sick when your mother called me, so I brought you here,” Luca explained with a
straight face and a frown. Obviously, she could tell he was a little annoyed.
“I’m sorry for causing you trouble.”
“It’s not the trouble I’m afraid of. Instead, I don’t think it’s a good way to stop them from going on their
honeymoon by making yourself sick.” What? Still in her fever, Catherine took a while to realize what he
meant by that.
It was no wonder he had such a bad attitude. After all, in his eyes, she got herself sick on purpose.
Needless to say, Ryan probably thought so too.
Was she really expecting him to come to her and
show his concern? She was such a joke.
At that point, she didn’t want to explain anything since it was better if Ryan thought of her as someone
despicable like that. That way, he would find Jasmine much more adorable.
Her cracked lips a hard line, she kept silent. Closing her eyes, she began to recall all the bits and
pieces of her dreams earlier. Who was that man lying on the patch of grass? That villa… Could that be
the villa Kevin had mentioned? Thinking of this, she got a headache so she stopped recalling it.
As the sound of footsteps approached, she opened her eyes with a trace of expectation but ended up
seeing a middle-aged woman walking to her side and bending over to look at her.
“Who are you?” Catherine asked. She had never seen this person before.
Smiling, the woman commented in surprise, “You’re finally awake, Miss Green. Mr. Walker,”
Suddenly, Luca coughed and interrupted her. Stunned for a moment, the woman rephrased,
“It’s good to see that you are awake. Do you want something to eat?”
“Who are you?”
