Blake's POV
Patricia immediately looked sad and said, "You never talked to me like that before. I know it. You don't
love me anymore. I am not the most important woman to you now!"
"Patricia, what are you talking about?" I hurried over and hugged her. "Cathy is our family. I hope you
can get along well."
"I am an elder, and she should respect me. Shouldn't she?" Patricia still felt aggrieved.
I sighed helplessly. "Here's the thing. I should respect you, because I'm your grandson. But she has not
married me yet. You two should respect each other."
Patricia immediately said with dissatisfaction, "Why hasn't she married you yet?"
Hearing that, I asked with a smile, "Grandma, are you saying that I can marry her?"
Patricia looked a little embarrassed. She sighed and said, "I didn't agree before, but I like the two kids
very much. You and Leo didn't have a mother when you grew up. It's a regret that will accompany your
whole life. I always feel guilty. I've done some thinking, and I think you should get married soon. The
kids are well-bred. It makes her a very qualified mother."
"Then can you not say anything bad about her anymore? It's been a hard journey for her!" I was
overjoyed. As long as Patricia agreed, there would be no obstacles.
"I know it's not easy for her. I'm also a woman and a mother. It was indeed very hard for her to take
care of two kids by herself. So be it. You two deserve a happy life together. I won't interfere!" said
Patricia.
I hugged Patricia again, my tone full of gratitude and joy. "Thanks, Patricia!"
"Alright. The kids have fallen asleep. You should go and get some rest as well," said Patricia, smiling.
I opened the car door for Patricia and told the driver to drive slowly. Then I turned and walked upstairs.
After going upstairs, I decided to go to Catherine and tell her about what Patricia said. I believed that
she would be thrilled as well.
I pushed open the door and saw that Catherine was lying on the bed, sleeping. She didn't take a
shower.
She only took off her coat and was still wearing her knee-length tight skirt and a thin white shirt.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWas she that tired?
Although I knew that I shouldn't disturb her, I couldn't help but walk over to her side and look at the
sleeping Hedwig behind her.
Hedwig hugged her quilt and was sleeping soundly.
When I looked at Catherine again, I felt that something was wrong with her.
So, I reached out to touch her forehead. Why was it still so hot?
I sensed the temperature of her forehead when we were in the car. I figured that it was because we
were hugging. But her forehead was still burning hot now. She must be ill.
I quickly patted her face a few times.
Catherine woke up. She said in a low voice, "Why are you still up?"
"You're sick. You're having a fever! 'I said, lowering my voice.
Catherine sat up and stroked her forehead. Then she said, "You're right! Do you have any medicine at
home?"
I looked at her calm face and frowned. "You shouldn't take medicine so casually. I'll take you to the
pack doctor!"
"There's no need for that. Put some warm water in the bathtub for me. I'll be fine after soaking in it for a
while," Catherine said.
She looked so calm. Seeing that, I thought that she was really doing fine. I turned around, entered the
bathroom, and filled the bathtub with warm water.
Catherine walked in. I was worried and followed her in.
Catherine looked at me in surprise. "Why did you get in as well?"
"I'm worried that you might fall," I answered seriously.
"I'm not a kid. I won't fall. You may leave." Catherine pulled a wry face.
In the next second, she took a step forward with her bare feet and didn't see the water on the floor. She
lost balance and almost fell. Fortunately, I held her in time.
"See what happens when you don't listen to me?" I said reproachfully, looking at her frightened
expression.
Catherine muttered, "It must be because I'm dizzy. Otherwise, how could I have fallen?"
"You're sick, yet you're still so stubborn. Stop pulling a stunt. I will watch you till you finish bathing."
"No wey!" Cetherine quickly pushed me when she heerd whet I seid. "You should get out. It's so
emberressing."
"Whet's there to be emberressed ebout? You end I ere so close now!" I just hoped to see her better

I wes e little unheppy. "How is thet going to work?"
"The effect will be the seme!" Cetherine seid resolutely. Then she welked right into the tub without
teking off her clothes. She murmured, "So much better."
With one hend on my weist, I looked down et the setisfied look on her fece end secretly gritted my

Did Cetherine reelly think of me es e bed person?
Cetherine could not help but chuckle. "Cen you pleese help me esk Dowen if there is eny medicine? I'll

I squetted down in dissetisfection, lifted her fece, end kissed her lips herd.
Cetherine seid, "Aren't you efreid of being infected by me? I cen't sleep with Hedwig leter. I'm efreid

"I'm strong, so, no." I stood up. "I'll sleep with Hedwig tonight. You cen sleep in the guest room next

How could I sleep? I welked over end squetted in front of her. "You heven't slept yet. How cen I sleep?"
"No way!" Catherine quickly pushed me when she heard what I said. "You should get out. It's so
embarrassing."
"What's there to be embarrassed about? You and I are so close now!" I just hoped to see her better
soon.
Catherine smiled when she heard my serious tone, "Fine. Just stay here. I'll get in the bathtub without
taking my clothes off. I'll get the heat on my body out first."
I was a little unhappy. "How is that going to work?"
"The effect will be the same!" Catherine said resolutely. Then she walked right into the tub without
taking off her clothes. She murmured, "So much better."
With one hand on my waist, I looked down at the satisfied look on her face and secretly gritted my
teeth.
Did Catherine really think of me as a bad person?
Catherine could not help but chuckle. "Can you please help me ask Dowen if there is any medicine? I'll
take something later."
I squatted down in dissatisfaction, lifted her face, and kissed her lips hard.
Catherine said, "Aren't you afraid of being infected by me? I can't sleep with Hedwig later. I'm afraid
she'll catch a cold as well."
"I'm strong, so, no." I stood up. "I'll sleep with Hedwig tonight. You can sleep in the guest room next
door.
"I'll get the medicine for you." I turned and left.
When I took the medicine and pushed open the door again, I saw that Catherine's body had turned
rosy because of the heat, and her head was full of sweat.
Catherine wiped her face with a towel. "I'm much better now. I might not have a fever anymore. Did you
get me the medicine?"
I looked at her rosy body, and my Adam's apple couldn't help but roll. My voice instantly became
hoarse. I said, "Yes. It's on the night table next to your bed."
"Thanks. Don't mind me. Go to sleep now." Catherine looked at me gratefully, and then she waved her
hand at me with concern. "Go. You still have work to do tomorrow."
How could I sleep? I walked over and squatted in front of her. "You haven't slept yet. How can I sleep?"
