Memories Of The Night 193 Chapter 193: She Cooked For Him

Claire doesn't expect Marcellus to love Katrina so deeply. Unexpectedly, he would even give up life for this woman. It seems that the only solution is to make the woman leave her son. But she is at a complete loss, and she has no idea how to do it.

Since Marcellus is hospitalized, Katrina visits him whenever she can. Because he got hurt because of her, she wants to take care of him to ease her guilty heart.

As for the driver, nothing has come of the investigation. As if he evaporated into thin air, n.o.body can find a trace of him anywhere. The whole situation leaves Katrina uncertain if what happened that night was just an accident or if someone actually wanted to kill her or Marcellus. She really hopes it's the former.

Worried that Marcellus won't eat well at the hospital, Katrina personally cooks ginseng chicken soup during the weekend. After she's done, she transfers the soup into a thermos and leaves the apartment to visit Marcellus.

The soup won't taste as good if Katrina spends too much time going to the hospital. She walks to the gate of her neighborhood and hails a taxi. "Warm Hospital, please," she tells the driver.

Halfway to the hospital, the taxi suddenly breaks down. After attempting to start the car several times, the driver has to end the trip. "Miss, I'm so sorry, there's something wrong with my car. It might be better if you get another cab," he says apologetically.

Given the situation, Katrina has no choice but to get out of the car. After paying the driver the fare on the meter, she stands on the curb with her thermos and hails a taxi.

Getting a cab on the road Katrina got off is difficult. After waiting for a long time, she still hasn't seen an empty taxi pa.s.s by. Instead, a black Maybach sedan slowly pulls up in front of her with the windows rolled down.

Katrina looks up and sees a familiar face.

Aaron?

Katrina subconsciously takes a step back and hides the thermos behind her.

Aaron catches the subtle movement. Seeing the thermos, he realizes that Katrina is going to the hospital to see Marcellus.

How sweet! Aaron thinks sarcastically. She even cooked for him! Although he feels sour, he can't ignore Katrina standing alone on the pavement. He parks the car in front of her and says, "Get in."

Katrina turns him down without hesitation. "No, I'll wait for a taxi."

Aaron is not pleased by her rejection. "Why afraid I'll bite you?" he says with a coy look.

Katrina's face almost immediately turns red at the implication. She grits her teeth in exasperation. "Aaron, I'm warning you, I have a boyfriend now!"

To Katrina's relief, she sees an empty taxi approaching. She flags the cab down, opening the door and getting in as soon as it stops. She would rather wait for a cab than get in Aaron's car.

Katrina's actions make Aaron upset. This heartless woman! Does she think I offer a ride to just anyone? How dare she turn me down! d.a.m.n it!

Katrina has her heart set on Marcellus, going to the hospital every now and then to take care of him. But unbeknownst to her, she may have an enemy in Marcellus's mother.

After the accident, Aaron was afraid that someone was targeting her, so he secretly sent his men to investigate the accident. Although the truth is still being verified, he has an inkling that Marcellus's mother was behind it.

Born into a wealthy family, Aaron has naturally seen a lot of sn.o.bbery in this circle. Rich people are obsessed with suitable matches. They wouldn't let a woman from a poor family marry a man from a rich family. They wouldn't accept an ordinary woman into their family.

And Claire Brook seems like the type who can't accept a girl like Katrina as her daughter-in-law.

As of now, the evidence is not yet clear. Additionally, Katrina trusts Marcellus and despises him. If Aaron mentions it to her now, he is afraid that Katrina will think it's just a plot he made up. She'll think that he's trying to drive a wedge between her and Marcellus.

He can only conceal the truth for now and continue to investigate in secret.

"Marcellus, I cooked chicken soup for you!" Katrina says in greeting as she enters Marcellus's room with her arm raising the thermos up.

But to her embarra.s.sment, Marcellus is not alone. Claire is also in the room.

She lowers her arm, awkwardly. "Aunt Brook, you're here, too."

Marcellus is reading a book when he hears Katrina's voice. He closes the book and puts it aside as she enters. He flashes her a gentle and doting smile, gesturing for her to sit. "Katrina, come in and sit down."

"Katrina, you're so sweet!" Claire exclaims.

Katrina becomes more embarra.s.sed at Claire's praise. She approaches the bed with the chicken soup, still warm inside the thermos. As soon as she removes the lid, the room is filled with a delicious aroma.

Marcellus takes a sip of the soup and bursts into a wide smile. "Katrina, your cooking is fantastic!"

This is Marcellus's first time to taste Katrina's cooking. He probably feels biased because his favorite person makes it.

Although Marcellus is stuck in bed all day because of the car accident, he feels happier than ever. Katrina keeps surprising him with her thoughtfulness. He feels elated to have the girl he loves taking care of him so attentively.

When Katrina is alone with Marcellus, there is no awkwardness between them. But with Claire also in the room, Katrina feels a little awkward.

Marcellus always looks at her with love and affection. The way his eyes linger on her doesn't seem appropriate in Claire's presence.

After delivering the soup to Marcellus, Katrina doesn't stay long. Getting up, she says her goodbye. "Marcellus, take good care of yourself. I'll come back when I have time."

"Katrina," Marcellus calls, reluctant to let her go. He wants to spend more time with her.

But beside him, Claire interjects, "Katrina must be busy, Marcellus. Let her go, and I'm here. Katrina, let me send you off."

Katrina is overwhelmed by Claire's words. "Aunt Brook, there's no need for that. I don't want to bother you, and please stay here!"
