Chapter 33
Catherine turned around and went upstairs while saying, “Not necessary.”
The maid hurriedly caught up with her. “Miss Johnson, please don’t make it difficult for me. If Mr. Clark knew that you hadn’t taken the pill, we would be blamed. I’m just an employee…”
Catherine said with a cold face, “Please tell Anderson Clark – I won’t get pregnant with his baby. If I did, I would have an abortion myself.”
She wouldn’t be pregnant anymore.
Not in her whole lifetime.
Anderson didn’t need to worry too much.
The maid held the pills and called Anderson in a panic.
‘Have an abortion herself! The words reechoed in Anderson’s mind.
The more he listened to the maid, the more darkened his face became. He emanated coldness all over his body, wondering how much she didn’t want to have his baby.
Catherine was imprisoned in Ziting Villa by Anderson. Neither Sophia nor Lincoln was here. She wondered where he had sent them to.
She asked the maid once, but the maid refused to tell her anything.
In the whole villa, all the servants, maids, and bodyguards were like robots who got instructions from Anderson. She seemed to be the only human, who was also a half-ghost.
After taking a shower again, Catherine looked at the body lotion with the rose scent for the female and was stunned.
She had known Anderson for so many years and she knew that he would never use such a thing, let alone the lotion for the female.
She had been tortured by him in this way, but she still felt a sharp pang in her heart when seeing such a private female product. She felt the pang would strangle her to death. After putting down the body lotion in her hands, Catherine looked at the woman in the mirror – the rims of her eyes were hollow and her face was pale, and there was no spark in her eyes at all. She wondered if the woman was still herself.
Fortunately, Anderson didn’t block the web usage nor did he take away her cell phone. Catherine had been sitting next to the window and browsing online. She looked at the curses in the comment area of the comics as well as the photos in which she was taking drugs.
She looked at them again and again as if she was abusing herself.
“October, have you found the person?”
When Emilia sent her a message, Catherine was still reading the comments that asking her to make an apology.
“Our project seems to survive. Someone even invested in it. October, I knew you would help us. Now I wouldn’t be fired…” Then Emilia sent her a lot of words to thank her along with a bowing emoji at the end.
After reading her messages, Catherine didn’t reply to her. As long as the project went well, she didn’t want to get in touch with any others.
She was scared. She was afraid that all people that she knew would become the tools that Anderson could use to threaten her.
Catherine stared at her phone blankly. Suddenly her phone rang. She looked down and found it was Owen’s phone number. She didn’t answer.
When it stopped ringing automatically, she blocked his phone number.
[Catherine, why did you block me?] Soon, she received a message from Owen on the social network app. [Where are you? I went to the hospital but Antonio said you’ve left.]
[Reply to my messages, Catherine. Have you forgotten our appointment?]
More and more messages from Owen were received. Facing the screen, Catherine could imagine how anxious he was. She still couldn’t give him any response, and she didn’t deserve Owen either.
Thinking carefully about the wording, she replied to him: [Owen, we shall stop keeping in touch with each other. I can’t be with you. I don’t deserve you.]
As soon as her message was sent, Owen immediately replied to her. [Did Anderson Clark threaten you again?]
Gritting her teeth, Catherine replied: [Nope. I’ve thought it over carefully. Owen, I don’t like you. I still love Anderson. I can’t marry you.]
Catherine prayed that Owen could leave her alone inwardly.
Reading the simple words on his phone screen, Owen clenched his hands into fists.
[I’ve never thought that you don’t deserve me. No matter who you are right now, you are still the little girl who has always followed me since her childhood and can play at being cute. I don’t think you truly meant those words. No matter what situation you are in now, please don’t forget that I’m always your backer. Whenever you want to come back to me, I’ll be right here waiting.]
[We’re family. We should experience everything together as a family]
Catherine read the last sentence, and she burst into tears unconsciously.
Even so, she just wiped off her tears, blacked Owen’s account IDs and all account IDs that they had contact with each other. She had deleted all his traces in her life.
However, there was still something that remained. For instance, her name was given by her parents to match Owen’s because of their child betrothal. For another instance, almost all the blood in her body now came from Owen.
Catherine was lost in thought. She was sitting next to the window for a whole day.
When Anderson knocked off, he went back to Ziting Villa at once. As soon as he walked in, the maid walked over and said ina panic, “Mr. Clark, Miss Johnson hasn’t eaten anything for a whole day. I called her for meals but she refused. She also locked your bedroom door from the inside. I don’t have the password, so I couldn’t enter.”
Anderson’s face went darkened instantly.
He strode upstairs. When he opened the door, he saw a bony and weak figure sitting in front of the French window. She huddled up, hugging her legs in her arms, and bent down her head on the knee.
Anderson couldn’t help but step softly, walking towards the French window.
When he approached, he found that Catherine was napping.
Her fair face looked peaceful and beautiful. Anderson held her in his arms softly and walked slowly towards the bed. However, even he was doing so, the woman in his arms was disturbed. Catherine held Anderson’s body tightly, her head rubbing in his arms.
Anderson’s body was stiffened. He curled up his lips in an extremely good mood. “Owen, I’m sorry. I’m terribly sorry,” the woman in his arms muttered, which was echoing clearly in the
quiet bedroom. The smile on Anderson’s face disappeared in an instant. He tossed her onto the bed.
As soon as she touched the bed, Catherine was awake. She opened her eyes in dizziness. As soon as she saw the tall and strong man at the bedside, she sobered up immediately, looking at him with an alert.
“Go to have dinner,” Anderson said coldly, reaching out to take off his suit jacket. Catherine mistook that he would do something. She shivered and moved back a bit. “I’m not hungry. You can go ahead to eat.”
Looking at her bony figure, Anderson frowned and said in a cold tone, “Alright. If you skip one meal, Sophia and Lincoln will skip one meal as well.”
Catherine felt hard to breathe upon hearing it. She stood up and said anxiously, ‘I’ll eat it. I’m going to have dinner now. Please don’t abuse Sophia and Lincoln.”
She still remembered clearly that Sophia fainted because she was starved. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Anderson didn’t favor the children born by her. Since he said it, he would do it for sure. When Catherine got up from the bed, she almost fainted.
Anderson helped her up from her back.
Catherine subconsciously wanted to dodge. When she came back to her senses, she didn’t move at all. However, her body was extremely stiffened. All her cells were resistant to him.
As such a sensitive man, Anderson naturally could feel about it. A trace of complicated feelings flashed through his darkened eyes.
Seemingly she was afraid that Anderson would starve her children, Catherine ate the meal greedily. After finishing the meal, she looked at Anderson. “May I see my children?”
“Drink this bowl of porridge.” Anderson pushed the porridge in front of him to Catherine. Catherine didn’t take it. “I’ll get more in my bowl.”
She was disgusted with him, wasn’t she?
