Memories Of The Night Chapter 5: Chapter 5: Feel Desperate

Katrina was shocked and hesitated for a moment. But remembering her lost innocence…

She finally bows her head and whispers, "Alright. I'll never see him again."

Marcellus gives her a lot of warmth as her first love, and she feels really attached to the happiness he makes her feel. But how could such a filthy girl deserve a sunny and handsome boy?

She chooses to let him go and never to contact him again. It may be the best choice for both of them.

When she picks up the phone, she hears his sweet voice. "Why did you take so long to pick up? How are you doing in the hospital interns.h.i.+p program?"

Hearing his concern, Katrina imagines him standing in front of her with a smile, touching her hair. Under the sun, his smile is wide and beautiful.

"Marcellus Brook," she says coldly, "Don't contact me anymore."

Marcellus didn't expect such a harsh response. He's stunned for a moment and says, "Katrina, what are you saying? Are you tired? What's wrong with you?"

Katrina takes a deep breath and yells into the phone, "Marcellus, I've fallen in love with someone else. Please don't contact me again. Stop bothering me! Your presence only troubles me! I hate you!"

With that, Katrina hung up sharply.

Marcellus Brook is a man with a lot of pride.

From primary school to university, he was regarded as the most popular boy in school and has never experienced such a straightforward rejection. It's not his style to keep chasing a girl who's turned him down, no matter how much he likes her.

After hearing all that, he will never bother her again.

She's felt dazed after she ended up their relations.h.i.+p. Katrina looks up at Sophie and says quietly, "Are you satisfied?"

Seeing her red eyes, Sophie touches her nose and says awkwardly, "You'd better keep your promise."

At night, Katrina exits the bathroom when a figure suddenly jumps out and hugs her from behind.

She was startled immediately when she sees the person.

Samuel?

As the son of Uncle Anderson, Samuel is also her nominal brother.

How dare he lurks in her room like a creep! Though she knows Samuel is fond of women and s.e.x, she never imagined he would covet her.

Feeling disgusted, Katrina struggles. "Samuel! What are you doing! Get out!"

Samuel breathes in her neck and says casually, "Sophie said you've slept with old men. Why won't you sleep with me?"

At his crude words, Katrina grabs his arm angrily and takes a bite out of it.

"Ah!" Samuel lets out of a cry of pain and grits his teeth. "b.i.t.c.h! How dare you bite me! Do you want to die?"

Katrina was just an orphan without a family, and it's a great blessing for her to settle down and be adopted. It's no different than adopting a puppy or a kitten. She's lucky enough to be noticed. How dare she bite him like that?

She takes the opportunity to keep some distance between, and grabs the lamp from her bedside table, glaring at him angrily. "Samuel! If you **** me, I'll tell Uncle what you've done."

Samuel grins and moves forward. "****? Do you think my father will believe that I came onto you? Or that you seduced me?"

Katrina gasps at the thought.

He's shameless enough to put the blame on his victim!

If Samuel insists on saying that she was the one who seduced him, the whole family would most likely stand firmly with him. Even if Uncle Anderson decides to protect her, he may not be able to do anything with such a big accusation.

As an outsider, she'll be the one who'll lose.

While Katrina is stunned in a daze, Samuel yanks down the collar of her nightgown.

Seeing her skin as white as snow-covered with ambiguous love bites, something flashes through his eyes, and his lips curve slightly. "It seems that Sophie was right."

Through the years, the girl has grown more and more attractive, her supple figure making Samuel swallow. The fading marks on her body add to the temptation and make his throat go dry, stirring up his rippling desire.

Realizing her state of undress, Katrina feels so embarra.s.sed and anxious that she reflexively throws the lamp straight at him.

After the lamp hits Samuel on the head, it falls to the ground and makes a loud noise.

Pa.s.sing by outside, Eva hears the crash and quickly comes over and knocks on the door. "Lady Katrina, are you all right?"

Hearing Eva's voice, Katrina immediately cries for help, "Eva!"

Samuel holds the big swell on his head and, with reluctance, jumps out of the window helplessly.

After all, Eva has served the Andersons for many years. Mr. Anderson respects her and values her trust. If Eva catches Samuel in Katrina's room, or if she says something to his father, he may suffer some consequences.

When Katrina opens the door, tears almost break out from her eyes.

Eva is shocked when she sees Katrina's panicked face. Her body is trembling without her realizing it. Eva asks worriedly, "What happened, Lady Katrina?"

Katrina takes a subconscious look inside the room. It's empty, with only a broken desk lamp on the floor and the curtain by the window moving with the wind.

After calming down, Katrina says, "I broke the lamp by accident."

Uncle Anderson took her in for so many years. Although Aunt Anderson, Sophie, and Samuel are secretly antagonistic towards her, she never wants to embarra.s.s Uncle by letting him know what happened.

So Katrina hides the truth.

"Lady Katrina, are you hurt?" Eva looks her over carefully.

Katrina quickly shakes her head.

"Alright." Eva seems relieved. "Please wait in your room. I'll get the broom."

Katrina opens the door wide after Eva leaves, then goes through every nook and cranny of the room. Making sure there's nothing unusual, she closes the windows tightly, fearing that Samuel will jump inside again at midnight.

Eva comes in with the tools and cleans up the mess thoroughly. "Lady Katrina, go to bed early. You don't look well these days. You'd better get some rest."

Having been with the Andersons for so many years, Eva likes the beautiful, sensible, and polite girl very much. Because Katrina is about the same age as her daughter and has gone through a rough life, Eva inevitably feels a little more pity for her.

Katrina feels warm from Eva's heartfelt concern, and responds softly, "You too, Eva."

After Eva leaves, Katrina locks the door and inserts the key into the lock. When she's made sure that no one can get in, she lies back in bed, feeling depressed.

So many things have happened in the past few days.

The strange man's frivolity, Sophie's threat, Samuel's attempt…

Even Marcellus, who cares about her, was pushed away by her harsh rejection.

As for the hospital, she doesn't want to go back there anymore. Every time she enters the place and smells the familiar scent, she clearly recalls the experience from those few nights.

Her present situation makes her feel desperate. She can't wait to escape somewhere else.
