Chapter 19 What’s Wrong With

You

“Cath!” Crying out, Kevin picked her up and ran all the way to the car. After placing her in the car, he

sped off to the city like a madman.

When she woke up halfway, she struggled to sit up in the back seat but her head no longer felt painful.

“What happened to me, Kevin?” she asked weakly.

“You’re awake?” Just then, the car slowed down and Kevin looked at her through the rearview mirror.

Right now, she didn’t look as terrifyingly pale as before.

“You passed out so I’m taking you to the hospital

now.”

“It’s okay. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with me.”

“No! We have to go!” Kevin insisted seriously. He always wore a warm smile in front of her. However,

this was the first time that she saw him look so serious.

With a stern face, he looked so much like Ryan with a strong aura. Slightly frightened by his

overwhelming presence, Catherine responded weakly, “Fine, I’ll go to hospital. Don’t be angry.”

“That’s a good girl, Cath! We’ll be there in a minute. Stop talking and get some rest.” He replied gently.

: “You didn’t tell my parents, did you?” Catherine

asked nervously.

“I knew you don’t want them to be worried so I didn’t tell them. Don’t worry about anything else. Just

get some rest.”

Closing her eyes, Catherine really thought about nothing. Shortly after, they arrived at the best hospital

in the city.

Since Kevin frequented this place with his boss, he was quite close to some of the doctors, and that

was why he chose to come here. After doing a magnetic resonance imaging test, she got her

results in half an hour.

Eventually, the doctor said she was fine according to the test result and that all she had to do was rest

and avoid overthinking.

Because this doctor was a brain specialist of this hospital, they trusted his diagnosis very much.

“Does she need to be hospitalized for observation?” Kevin asked.

“There’s no need. Just go home and get some rest. It’s definitely better to rest at home than at the

hospital. It will help her recover. Meanwhile, don’t try too hard to recall things. Stress is a major factor

that affects your health,” the doctor advised while Catherine nodded repeatedly.

“Thank you, Doctor Rees!” Kevin thanked him and shook the doctor’s hand.

“You don’t have to thank me. Helping you is what we should do.”

When he realized that the doctor wanted to continue speaking, Kevin laughed it off so as not to arouse

Catherine’s suspicion.

“Let’s go. I’ll send you home!” Kevin mentioned after they left the hospital.

“I’ll just go back home on my own. It won’t be nice if that demon Ryan is back and saw you with me.”

Demon? Just then, Kevin smiled playfully and

asked, “Didn’t you say that he went on his honeymoon?”

Although he did go on his honeymoon, Catherine was still worried that he would just pop out of

nowhere. Since he could leave his wife alone and came to see her on his wedding night, he could also

come back from his honeymoon in advance.

“You never know. It will be better if I go back on my own anyway. Didn’t you hear what the doctor has

said? I’m fine.”

Unable to persuade her, Kevin reminded her when she called a taxi, “Call me or text me when you

reach home.”

“Sure!”

When she arrived at the apartment, it was already almost noon. When she heard some noise in the

bedroom, she thought that Maria was probably

cleaning up the room.

So, she called out to Maria twice but she didn’t respond, probably because she didn’t hear her.

“Ma… Ah!” When she turned the doorknob and stepped in, a man suddenly hugged her from behind.

Instantly, he turned her around and pinned her against the wall.

As his strong arms pinned her slender waist firmly to the wall, the scent that came from her slightly

open mouth stirred his emotions.

Lowering his head, he couldn’t wait to kiss her little lips. However, just before his thin lips touched her

luscious ones, she tilted her head to one side and avoided his kiss.

Knowing that she shouldn’t have refused his kiss because offending him would make things difficult for

Alan, she just couldn’t help it.

After all, she didn’t want to see him or have any contact with him at all. Instead, she wanted to run as

far away from him as possible.

Exerting a little more strength, Ryan caused her to feel some pain on her wrist as she frowned. When

he leaned in toward her this time, his target was no longer her lips but her ear instead.

“You shouldn’t have refused me, darling,” he whispered in her ear. At that moment, she couldn’t tell his

emotions because he sounded calm.
