Deadly Doting Marriage Novel - Chapter 67

He had not slept for an entire night!

He had lost count of how many nights he had not slept. It seemed that he had not slept since Kathleen left.

Time passed quietly, and it was soon eight o’clock.

John stood up from the ground, put on his prosthetic leg, and walked out.

Breakfast was prepared in the dining room. Barkley looked at him and asked, “Young master, what would you like to eat?”

Just as Barkley finished speaking, John’s body swayed, and he fell to the ground.

The prosthetic leg fell off again because it was not worn properly.

Barkley quickly walked forward and asked, “Young master, what’s wrong?”

He helped John to the sofa and picked up the prosthetic leg. Just as he was about to put it on him, he saw the swollen leg.

Barkley was shocked. “Young master, your leg is injured!”

John looked at the wound silently.

Barkley said anxiously, “No, we need to see a doctor!” He quickly called Corey.

Corey knew that John was injured, so he walked in with the medical kit.

Corey looked at John, who was sitting on the sofa, and quickly checked the wound on his leg.

“Oh my goodness, how did it become so inflamed?” Corey frowned. “Did you take care of it at all?”

“It was Ms. Yates who took care of it before.” Barkley said aggrievedly, “Now, young master doesn’t want us to touch it…

Corey sighed and quickly administered medicine and injections to John.

After disinfecting the wound, he raised his head to look at John. “Young master, you shouldn’t be so willful. Look at the state of this wound!”

John ignored everyone. He put on the prosthetic leg and turned to leave!

Corey and Barley were shocked. “Young Master, you can’t go out. You have to rest..

“Scram!” He strode out.

Barkley and Corey looked at each other and sighed.

Ever since Kathleen left, the young master had become more and more careless…

In the evening, the setting sun faded away and the skies gradually dimmed.

The Lambert Group had just left the Crafield, so John drove to Kathleen’s apartment after spending the day at his office.

Kathleen lived on the third floor, and at this moment, the lights were on in the windows.

John went straight into the elevator and entered Kathleen’s condominium.

He had bought the apartment, so he naturally had the keys.

He opened the food and found Kathleen sitting on the sofa. When she saw John appear, her gaze instantly turned cold.

She stood up and turned around to go to her own room.

John’s heart ached when he heard the sound of the door slamming shut.

She does not even greet him when she sees him?

John smiled sarcastically. This was the girl he had raised. It looked like she did not need him anymore!

Alright, since you’re leaving, then leave.

John did not leave. Instead, he sat on the sofa in the living room.

He took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took out a lighter, lit it up, and put it to his mouth to smoke.

He took a light puff, and the smell of cigarettes filled the living room. The strong smell of cigarettes made him cough.

John looked at the door of Kathleen’s room and realized that there was still no movement inside.

The corner of his mouth twitched, and he lit up another cigarette and started smoking.

He sat on the sofa the whole night and smoked one cigarette after another until dawn.

After Kathleen woke up and washed up, she opened her bedroom and was ready to go to school.

Just as she walked out, she saw the living room filled with cigarette butts and the choking smell of cigarettes.

John sat on the sofa, lonely and silent. John’s face was pale, and his eyes were cold.

Kathleen’s expression was tense. She pursed her lips and turned around to leave.

John glanced at her and stood up to leave as well.

However, he had just taken a step when his tall body fell to the ground.

Kathleen was slightly shaken and quickly walked to John. “Young master, what’s wrong?”

John’s eyes were heavy, and his ears were ringing. He was dizzy and could not see Kathleen’s face clearly, much less say a single word.

Seeing this, Kathleen quickly helped him to the sofa.

Just then, the prosthetic leg fell to the ground with a clang.

Kathleen slightly trembled and hurriedly picked up the prosthetic leg on the ground.

Her eyes flashed, and she quickly looked at his stump, only to find that it was inflamed.

“Young master!” Kathleen shook John, but he did not respond.

Kathleen panicked and quickly called the hospital.

The ambulance arrived very quickly, in less than half an hour.

After entering the door, Kathleen explained the situation and worked together with the nurses to put John on a stretcher and carry him into the ambulance.

When they arrived at the hospital, the nurses hurriedly carried John into the ward.

They began to clean, treat, and disinfect John’s wounds.

Kathleen looked at all of this in a daze and remained silent.

Not long after, she told her school about her absence and stood guard by John’s side.

It was ten in the afternoon. The sun was scorching hot, and the air was extremely stuffy.

John finally regained consciousness and opened his eyes hazily.

When he saw Kathleen sitting next to him, he was slightly shocked. She had not left him, and she was still here!

In an instant, his heart warmed up as if it was filled with something.

Kathleen raised her head and saw that John had woken up. She said indifferently, “Young master!”

John sized up his surroundings and raised his eyebrows. “I’m in the hospitål?” John asked

“Yes, your leg is inflamed. I called an ambulance and sent you to the hospital.”

John glanced at Kathleen without saying a word.

Kathleen said coldly, “Your leg is inflamed. Haven’t you known?”

Judging from the severity of the swelling, one could tell it had been going on for days.

John replied in a low voice, “It was you who took care of it. Now that you are gone, no one will take care of this leg!”

No one will take care of it? He was the CEO of the Lambert Group. The Lambert group had so many servants. How could there be no one to take care of it?

Kathleen had not questioned it further.

She quietly looked at John, her dark eyes carried extremely complicated emotions.

She had actually told the university that she would be absent for several days. She had planned to take care of John.

No matter how much she feared him and hated John because of what happened to Alex and Jimmy, her heart still ached when she saw him faint.

She would not admit to her feelings. She could only lie to herself and think that perhaps it was because of his care and upbringing all these years…or maybe she was just felt pity.

Why was she not willing to read the email if that was really the case?

She could have opened the email and read the contents, which would have cleared her father’s wrongs and allowed the truth to be revealed to the world.

She had evidence of her father’s innocence and did not need to pay her debts anymore. She could leave!

However, she dared not. Up until now, she had not touched that email.

Maybe she still wants to stay with John.

Kathleen was conflicted.

John’s leg was not as serious as it seemed. The inflammation was caused by trauma.

After the nurse treated his wound and prescribed some medicine, he returned to the apartment with Kathleen to recuperate..
