“I'm sorry. It’s all my fault.
‘It’s me... It'swho killed you.
“Aunt Aubrey was right. I'm a jinx...” Anderson looked at the bony and weak woman deeply. Under the cold light in the ICU, he could always see her bone through her transparent skin. He wondered since when she had becso weak and skinny.
There was an unbearable pain in his heart.
“Catherine Johnson, stand up.” Anderson bent over and carried her up.
Looking at Anderson's face, she laughed like crazy. “Do you want my blood or my life? Please take them all!” Anyway, she didn’t have anything to love in this world except her children.
Anderson frowned. When he was about to speak, he saw the woman in his arms, who seemed did not weigh at all, close her eyes.
“She fainted.” Antosaid to the nurse, “Put her on the nutrient solution.” When Catherine woke up again, it was already the next morning. She didn’t shout or weep, sitting on the bed.
She noticed the needle mark on her wrist.
She laughed with self-mockery.
How ruthless Anderson was! For Isabella’s substitute, he still took her blood when she was in a coma.
Since six years ago, she had been living in the dark.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn the endless dark, only Owen accompanied her to walk forward with the candle in his hand. But now, the last candle in her dark was blown out.
She had no hope at all.
“Good morning, Miss Johnson. You are awake. Hurry up and have breakfast,” a nurse walked in and said with a smile.
“I'm not hungry.” Catherine looked out of the window. “Please leavealone.” Although Catherine looked calm after waking up, she kept looking out of the window for a whole day just like a robot.
Antoknocked on the door and cin, reaching out to hug her.
“You still have Sophia and Lincoln. Be strong, Catherine.” In his impression, Catherine was always that proud and stunning woman. Even when she was in a miserable environment, she still kept her dignity and pride.
At this moment, Catherine was completely different from the woman she used to be. She looked aged. She did not react to any sound outside of her own world. Even Sophia and Lincoln couldn't attract her attention. It seemed that her soul was taken away.
She was dead-hearted. Antoguessed that she wouldn't struggle at all if someone wanted to kill her. Probably, it would free her.
The truly frightening thing wasn’t death itself. Instead, it was to live without any spirit.
Antofelt frightened. He couldn't let Catherine go on in this way.
He heaved a deep sigh and said, “Something was wrong with this car accident. On the road, any trucks should be forbidden to drive. It's the sea under the cliff of the mountain. Any normal driver would be driving quite slowly when passing the road. But that truck was at high speed without any brake trace. If it weren't that Owen's Bentley had blocked its way, the taxi would also be completely destroyed now.
“I suspect that this was targeting you originally.
“Think if you have offended anyone?” Upon hearing his words, Catherine, who did not react at all earlier, finally reacted.
Johanna Scott! When Sophia begged Anderson to go to the zoo, Johanna seemed to be quite happy. She also tried hard to convince Anderson. She was wondering why Johanna would put in good words like that.
When Anderson was going to the zoo with them, Johanna wanted to keep him stay, but she didn’t succeed. Later, Paul informed Anderson that Johanna had fallen from the wire. Hence, Anderson left and only she and her children were in the cab going back home.
Everything was too coincident.
It was abnormally coincident.
Catherine got off the bed. Pulling Antonio, she asked, “Where is Johanna Scott?” “In the ward next to yours.” Antodidn’t stop her.
He was clear that if Catherine had someone to hate, it would be much better for her to live like a walking dead.
After all, something could support her to live on.
Catherine rushed out and pushed open the door of the ward next door. Anderson was sitting next to Johanna’s bed, looking at her so tenderly that he had never done on Catherine.
Approaching Johanna in a rush, Catherine pinched her neck. “Was it you?” “Catherine, what are you talking about?” Johanna gaped.
Seeing that, Anderson pulled Catherine and growled, “What is wrong with you?” Catherine had pains all over her body. Although Anderson was pulling her, she didn’t let go at all. “You've done it, haven't you?” She pinched Johanna with all her strength. The latter couldn’t catch her breath, staring at Anderson with a pale face.
Anderson broke Catherine’s grip with all his strength.
“Catherine Johnson, are you insane?” Anderson was so furious. “That's a car accident. What does it have to do with Johanna? Haven't you seen that she’s injured?” Looking at Anderson, Catherine burst into laughter. “Anderson Clark, you are just a stupid ass! “You are a blind stupid ass!” With a frown, Anderson looked at her. “I Know you are close to Owen. | know you are quite upset. But you can’t pull the innocent people in it.” Catherine felt as if her heart was torn, causing her a pang that she couldn’t breathe.
“Anderson Clark, do you dare to investigate her?” Catherine refused to believe that there would be so many coincidences in this accident. She suspected that all were done as planned.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Catherine Johnson, she’s only twenty years old. She just graduated. Don’t speculate on her with your sinister thoughts,” Anderson said firmly.
Johanna finally calmed down and got back to her senses, disdainfully smiling at Catherine.
‘It was all that Owen's fault. Otherwise, Catherine Johnson and her damned two kids are already dead!” she thought to herself.
Anderson said Catherine had the sinister thoughts, his words reechoing in the latter's mind.
Seeing Johanna’s smile, Catherine laughed in self-mockery. Gazing at Johanna coldly, she said, “Johanna Scott, you are floating above in the cloud, but you'll eventually fall from it. Everything that you've owned now is just an illusion, which doesn’t belong to you at all.
“If I've found you have anything to do with this accident, I'll make you suffered the rest of your life.” She cursed with her blood and soul, making Johanna shiver in fear. She wept in low voice and said, “Catherine, what are you talking about? “Mr. Clark, I've just woken up. What on earth has happened? Has Catherine misunderstood me?” Anderson patted Johanna on her back. “It has nothing to do with you. She is just overreacted.” Suddenly, Catherine calmed down.
Her impulsiveness couldn't resolve any problem, but instead, she had stepped into others’ traps.
However, when blood rushed to her brain, she had no reason left and she couldn't think anything through...
“Antonio, I'm starved.” Catherine decided to live. She must look into the accident and find it out if it was planned by someone.
Upon hearing her words, Antonio, who always concealed his emotion, smiled in excitement. “Let’s go. Hurry up.
I've asked them to prepare it for you all the time.” They went to the cafeteria.
“Last time, when Owen delivered your medicine to me, he said you liked the shredded chicken porridge casually.
| asked the cook to make one for you.” Antopushed the porridge in front of her.
Catherine stared at the bowl of shredded chicken porridge. She could still recall the sweet memories with Owen, but she couldn’t hear his voice or eat the porridge prepared by him anymore.
She took a sip of the porridge. The porridge with good smell and taste flew into her throat, but all turned to bitterness.
“Antonio, | want to die,” she said. As long as she died, she could free herself.
