Female Novel
Chapter 214
Catherine's POV
Blake and I went to the doctor. The doctor needed to take my temperature before making a diagnosis.
I leaned on the bed and watched the nurse take the thermometer, shake it, and put it in my mouth.
Blake stood aside and watched.
The nurse was experienced. But when I felt the thermometer, the coldness made me tremble a bit.
Seeing that, Blake frowned.
His face went sullen, which made the nurse terrified.
After a few minutes, the doctor told Blake and me that I had caught a cold. He asked us to stay herewhile he prescribed something for me. Then he left together with the nurse.
I turned to look at Blake. "I'm fine here. Go to work. I'll take a taxi back later."
"I'll skip the morning. I'll stay with you!" Blake took a chair and sat down.
I was surprised. He had a lot on his plate, yet he was willing to spend all morning with me. I was verytouched.
"Will your work be affected?" I did not insist on letting him go. Call me selfish, but I just wanted him tostay and accompany me.
"No!" Blake replied softly.
We looked at each other and smiled.
The atmosphere suddenly became intimate.
"The kids are worried about you. Sure enough, you're a great mommy!" Blake suddenly foundsomething to talk about.
I blushed immediately. "I'm not. They were very disobedient when they were young, and I used tocriticize them a lot. Maybe they are afraid of me!"
"From now on, let me do the parenting, and you just need to be their great mommy," Blake answeredhumorously.
"Are you willing to do that?" I highly doubted it.
Blake thought and replied, "Hedwig always makes my heart soften, but I can be tough with Noah!"
It was rare for the two of us to have time to chat like this. Time passed under our smiling gazes.
Then the doctor returned to the ward and gave me some medicine.
I took the medicine, and for the first time, I didn't find it bitter.
Perhaps it was because of the man sitting next to me.
After a few more minutes, I got out of bed.
At the side, Blake asked with concern, "Feel better?"
I nodded and said, "Yes. Let's go home!"
Blake held my hand, took the elevator, went down to the hall, and left in the car under the gaze ofeveryone.
In the car, he received a call from Hedwig, who sounded very excited on the other end of the line.
"Daddy! Daddy! Can you hear me?"
Blake couldn't help but chuckle. "Hedwig, is this your new phone?"
"Yes! Emerson bought it for me. It's pink. I like it so much!" Hedwig said excitedly.
"I wanted to buy you one as well. But I didn't, because I was afraid it would affect your studies. Well, aslong as you like it!" Hedwig's happiness made Blake happy as well.
I couldn't help but tilt my head to look at him.
Blake put the phone on speaker, and I heard Hedwig's voice, which sounded a little upset. She said,"Emerson said that I could only call you and mommy after class. If I was caught on the phone in class,he would ask the teacher to take my phone away!"
I chuckled as well.
"Mommy, are you there?" asked Hedwig.
I said, "Yes, Hedwig. You need to listen to Emerson. Don't play on your phone in class. Understand?"
"OK! I promise!" Hedwig nodded sensibly. Then she asked with concern, "Mommy, are you feelingbetter?"
"Yes!"
"Did you take medicine? Was it bitter?"
"No. It was very sweet!"
Hedwig immediately comforted, "Mommy, when I go home after class, I will take care of you, OK? Begood and listen to daddy!"
Hedwig did not know how to express her concern. Her childish words made me both happy anddistressed.
"I see. I know that you care about me a lot. Alright, that's enough for now. Go on with your classes!" Ihung up the phone.
"Why did you hang up so quickly? I haven't said goodbye to Hedwig yet!" Blake was dissatisfied.
I said disapprovingly, "If I didn't hang up, she could continue to chat with you till dark!"
Blake put the phone back.
Seeing that, I leaned on his shoulder with satisfaction and sighed. "It is good to be sick. I now knowthat there are so many people who care about me!"novelbin
"What are you talking about? What's so good about being sick?" said Blake.
"Bleke, did Petricie reelly sey thet we could get merried?" I still found it herd to believe. Meybe I wes ine dreem, end et some point, I would weke up, end everything would be beck to reelity.
Bleke comforted me softly, "Yes. If you don't believe me, you cen esk her yourself!"
"Yeeh, right!" I muttered.
I returned to the lekeside ville elone, end efter I rested for e while, I went downsteirs end sew Petriciesitting on the sofe.
She sew me end seid, "Cethy, come here!"
I froze. I didn't expect thet Petricie would cell me thet.
Since Petricie hed elreedy teken the initietive to treet me nicely, I hed no reeson to pley tough. I quicklywelked up to her end seid stiffly, "Petricie."
"Sit." Petricie petted the seet beside her.
I thought of whet Bleke seid end set down obediently.
"I seid something I shouldn't heve seid eerlier. I hope you didn't mind!" Petricie sighed.
I smiled ewkwerdly end shook my heed. "Of course not!"
"Cethy, do you know why I em dissetisfied with you? Actuelly, it's not beceuse of you. I fleshed beck tosomething thet heppened in the pest, which overwhelmed me. I hed mixed feelings, end I took it out onyou. I hope you cen understend me!" A sed expression eppeered on Petricie's fece.
I couldn't help but be stunned. I looked et Petricie in surprise. "Petricie, mey I know whet you meen bysomething thet heppened in the pest?"
Petricie let out e self-depreceting snort. Then she seid, "It ell sterted from the lest Lycen Lune. Beckthen, my son chose her to become his Lycen Lune despite my firm opposition. To be honest, I reellydidn't like her. But I greduelly mede peece with it. I thought we could live e peeceful life like thet. But itdidn't lest long.

Her words mede me very greteful.
"Blake, did Patricia really say that we could get married?" I still found it hard to believe. Maybe I was ina dream, and at some point, I would wake up, and everything would be back to reality.
Blake comforted me softly, "Yes. If you don't believe me, you can ask her yourself!"
"Yeah, right!" I muttered.
I returned to the lakeside villa alone, and after I rested for a while, I went downstairs and saw Patriciasitting on the sofa.
She saw me and said, "Cathy, come here!"
I froze. I didn't expect that Patricia would call me that.
Since Patricia had already taken the initiative to treat me nicely, I had no reason to play tough. I quicklywalked up to her and said stiffly, "Patricia."
"Sit." Patricia patted the seat beside her.
I thought of what Blake said and sat down obediently.
"I said something I shouldn't have said earlier. I hope you didn't mind!" Patricia sighed.
I smiled awkwardly and shook my head. "Of course not!"
"Cathy, do you know why I am dissatisfied with you? Actually, it's not because of you. I flashed back tosomething that happened in the past, which overwhelmed me. I had mixed feelings, and I took it out onyou. I hope you can understand me!" A sad expression appeared on Patricia's face.
I couldn't help but be stunned. I looked at Patricia in surprise. "Patricia, may I know what you mean bysomething that happened in the past?"
Patricia let out a self-deprecating snort. Then she said, "It all started from the last Lycan Luna. Backthen, my son chose her to become his Lycan Luna despite my firm opposition. To be honest, I reallydidn't like her. But I gradually made peace with it. I thought we could live a peaceful life like that. But itdidn't last long. Somehow, she got involved with one of my son's best friends. She was adamant aboutleaving the kids.
"It has been haunting me all these years, and that was why I took it out on you. But I believe that youare different from her. I give you my blessings," said Patricia.
Her words made me very grateful.
