After Chris sent Kathryn back to Rexton Manor, he left. He didn't say where he was going, and Kathryn didn't dare ask.Cara was still there. Usually, Chris spent his nights outside, so she didn't have to spend that much effort on cooking.But now, he had a wife who'd burn the kitchen down if she tried. That was why she had to cook three meals.Cara's meals were both delicious and nutritious. However, Kathryn was nauseous because of her pregnancy. She had no appetite at all.When Cara noticed Kathryn wasn't eating much, she asked, "What's wrong, Madam? Is the food not to your liking?""No, I just had some snacks this afternoon at the office, so I'm not hungry," Kathryn replied.Kathryn didn't dare reveal a single clue when she thought about Cara's sharp gaze!She and Tally hadn't really thought about coming up with excuses to cover up her nausea yet. However, Cara had already asked her about it! If anyone checked ...Kathryn got a headache just thinking about it."You can clock

Chris had no idea how long Kathryn had this fever. He tried feeding her medicine several times. The one time she actually swallowed it, she threw up later!After all that effort, the living room was a mess. When he consulted the doctor, he said it was best if Chris tried cooling her down without using the medicine.Chris' expression darkened as he watched the feverish Kathryn on the couch. He smacked his palm against his forehead because he almost regretted marrying her.She looked so energetic in the past. He never would have guessed she was this physically weak. Why was her health failing so much?"Should I take her to the hospital?""Usually, fevers don't require hospitalization if the patients can cool themselves down. Besides, IV fluids aren't very good for the body," the doctor advised.He was implying that Chris should try cooling Kathryn down first."Alright, got it!" Chris said frustratedly, then hung up. Silence ensued.Chris noticed her clothes got soiled by the feve

Before Chris headed to the office, he instructed Kathryn to stay home and not go out. Kathryn obediently promised to follow his advice.But the moment he left ... the Albert family butler arrived. He looked at Kathryn and said, "Mr. Franco said that if I couldn't get Mr. Chris to come, you'd need to come with me!"The family's servants previously looked down on her, but they all feared Chris. They were well aware of how he treated her, so the butler showed her great respect. When Kathryn heard Chairman Franco Albert wanted her to come, she frowned.Cara noticed her look and hurriedly stepped forward. "I'm afraid that's not possible. Madam had a fever last night, and Mr. Chris even got me to prepare medicine before he left. He was very clear about her not going out."The butler looked at Kathryn when he heard this, looking conflicted. "Well ..." Clearly, Franco had given him no room to disobey him.Either he came back with Chris, or he came back with Kathryn. And he knew the kind

Franco's gaze only became sharper. He scoffed, then said murderously, "Since you're so smart, you should know what to do next. Take Krista's card and get the hell away from here!"Kathryn was speechless. They went through all that trouble of calling her just so they could send her away?On the other hand, delight flashed across Krista's eyes when they finally got to the point.This girl had talked back to her previously, but now that she was meeting Franco, it was like watching a mouse meet a cat. This was a great way to avenge her!Albert Group might be under Chris' management, but everyone still feared Franco. So if he ordered it, Kathryn would surely listen to him and go away.Kathryn watched the threatening Franco, then said in a conflicted tone, "I'm sorry, but I can't."Krista didn't know what to say, and neither did Savanna. Together with the young girl, they stared at Kathryn in shock. Did she just say no to Chairman Albert? No one in Harborlean dared refuse him to his

At that moment, Krista felt like she could cough up blood. Kathryn's reaction left Krista dumbstruck. Chris was her husband, and she couldn't believe how Kathryn responded upon learning that Mia was his first time.Krista had dealt with plenty of difficult people, but Kathryn was like the bane of her existence. She was so stubborn."What do you mean he doesn't like her anymore? Why else would he come immediately after Mia called him?" Krista asked.Kathryn nodded. "That's true. Let's see what he says after he gets here. I'll listen to him."Krista was speechless. What Chris would say? Was she going to let Chris make the decision? Did she not care who he actually liked?Krista had been planning to get rid of Kathryn without a fuss, but someone as stubborn as her was very difficult to get rid of.She was about to say something when she heard a loud beeping noise inside the ward, followed by Savanna exclaiming, "Franco? Franco! Get the doctor, now!"Krista's heart skipped a beat,
