Chapter 1549
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
âAh!â
Cathy exclaimed in surprise.
Following the blood-stained palm, she saw a familiar face.
Felipe lay unconscious on the rainy ground, and his bloody fingers were weakly holding onto Cathyâs trousers.
âCa-Cathyâ¦â
âCathyâ¦â
Cathy repeated the word with Felipe, and after the last syllable, Felipeâs hand that was tightly holding her trousers also loosened.
After seeing Felipe suddenly losing consciousness in front of her, Cathy did not know why her heart seemed to ache so severely.
The rain of late autumn penetrated her skin with a bone-chilling coolness, but a scene appeared in her head vaguely.
It seemed to be raining cats and dogs as well. It had been at night when such a person fell in a pool of blood too. She had walked toward the injured man with an umbrella. She did not remember what happened afterward because the scene ended here.
âI saw him running here just now!â
âHe must be nearby! Find him now!â
âDonât let him run away again this time!â
Suddenly, she could hear some malicious words from a distance. Cathy suddenly raised her eyes and saw a few fierce-looking men who were dressed like thugs. They looked like they were looking for something along the street while holding weapons in their hands.
Cathy thought about something subconsciously. She lowered her head to look at Felipe who was lying at her feet. Without thinking too much, she bent over and pulled Felipe into the house.
âMommy, what are you doing?â
âWhy is this uncle sleeping here?â
The two innocent children were asking such innocent questions. They were not sensitive to blood, but they were just curious about the sleeping uncle lying here.
âFelipe must be nearby!â
âSplit up and find him!â
The voices were getting closer, and Cathyâs heartbeat speeded up inexplicably. A layer of cold sweat started to appear on her forehead without her knowledge as well.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a figure approaching. She did not know where this force came from. Suddenly, she pulled Felipe into the house with all her strength.
Huff!
She fell to the ground and let out a long sigh of relief. She raised her eyes to see two men with scars on their faces walking by the gate. Cathy quickly sat up and closed the door.
Then, she looked at Felipe who was covered in blood. After calming herself down, Cathy pulled him into the room Adam worked in with all her might.
She exerted a lot of force before she successfully placed Felipe on the reclining chair.
She no longer remembered that in order to please Felipe, she had studied medicine and hypnotism according to his wishes. She had learned a lot of things that she had no intention of learning.
Even though she did not remember, when she looked at the wounds of different sizes and depths on Felipeâs body, she was still very skilled in treating Felipeâs wounds.
When she saw Felipe frowning unconsciously because of the pain, Cathy subconsciously made her movements lighter and softer.
After some time, she had cleaned up all the wounds on Felipeâs body.
She felt an inexplicable pain in her heart when she saw the bucket full of alcohol swabs used to stop the bleeding.
When she saw the melancholy between his eyebrows, Cathy could not help but stretch out her hand toward Felipeâs face.
Just when her fingertips were about to touch Felipeâs cheek, she paused.
âWhat am I doing? Whatâs the matter with me?â Cathy asked herself without knowing the reason and slowly lowered her head.
She frowned and thought of Adam for a moment. Then, she could not help but feel a little guilty.
