“It’s by the door. Grandma and the others must have brought it over,” Matthew said.

“There’s a card on it,” Valerie said, reaching out to take it. When she read, “Wishing you well,” her expression shifted immediately. She threw back the quilt and rushed out.

Matthew hurried after her. “Valerie, slow down!”

However, the corridor was already empty, Valerie grabbed Matthew’s arm. “It’s her. It must be Katherine. I recognize her handwriting. I’m sur ‘ her! Why wouldn’t she come to see me? She must have something to say

Valerie was anxious, and Matthew quickly tried to calm her. “It’s alright. Since we’re certain it’s her, there’s no need to rush. You’ll be able to see her once you’ve recovered. Since she chose not to meet, she must have her reasons. We’ll have someone ask her properly later. Let’s go inside for now.”

Katherine, afraid to face her, was hiding around the corner, her heart racing. When she heard that Valerie had gone inside, she quietly slipped away and turned to head downstairs. She quickened her footsteps, and in her haste, accidentally bumped into a warm embrace. It was Julian.

Katherine looked up to see him and instinctively took a step back, creating distance between them. Julian, noticing her flustered state, furrowed his brows in concern. “Are you alright?”

“I’m fine.” Katherine took a deep breath, forcing herself not to look at him.

As Katherine was about to leave, Julian grabbed her arm. “Katherine, Dale is not a good person. Don’t be deceived.”

Katherine looked at him, and Julian continued, “Don’t think too much. I’ve only interacted with him a few times, but I genuinely found him to be a bad person. You’re still young and have your whole life ahead of you. Don’t let him take advantage of you.”

Katherine was touched by his concern but, afraid of being swayed by her emotions, she forced a cold demeanor. “Don’t meddle. I will walk the path I’ve chosen myself.”

Julian grew anxious. “Why won’t you listen? I’m trying to help you as a friend. That Dale is all show. He doesn’t deserve you. If you only want to get back at me, then-”

Katherine interrupted him, “Julian, I’m not seeking revenge on you. I just want a

fresh start. Since you didn’t accept me before, what’s the point of saying so much now**

Julian was taken aback, not expecting her to think of him this way. He took a deep breath and said, “No matter what happened between us in the past, I’m speaking as a friend now. Please don’t let yourself be fooled by that man. You’re still young-”

“It’s none of your business, Julian! Since you already have someone by your side, why are you bothering me? It’s my life. And as for Dale, I know him better than anyone. There’s no need for you to play the good guy. Move aside!” Katherine pushed Julian away, but he grabbed her.

“Katherine, are you in some kind of trouble? Tell me, and w asked, his voice filled with concern.

“Let go of me!” Katherine shouted and shoved him away.

Before Julian could speak, Linda showed up. “What’s going on?”

ll help you,” Julian

Seeing Linda, Katherine sneered. Linda eyed her suspiciously. “Why are you here?”

Katherine felt a pang of bitterness. “Julian, since you’re with her now, stop harassing me. Take care of your man and keep him from looking for me again.” Linda stepped forward and held Julian’s arm. “He’s not the type to interfere in other people’s affairs, so please don’t get the wrong idea.”

“Get the wrong idea? Who’s stopping me from leaving? I’m telling you, Julian, don’t come looking for me again,” Katherine said sharply.

Julian grabbed her and said worriedly, “I’ve already said, from a friend’s perspective, I hope you’ll think carefully. You’re not the type to be swayed by romantic whims.”

“Leave me alone!” Katherine violently pushed him away, but in the process, she stumbled and fell backward. “Ah!”

Julian rushed forward to catch her, but the momentum caused him to stumble down the next step. Katherine felt a sharp pain shoot through her leg.

Julian quickly asked, “What’s wrong? Where does it hurt?”

“It’s none of your business!” Katherine snapped. “It’s okay. I can manage,” she insisted, rising to her feet and limping.

Watching the pair in front of her, something struck Linda. ‘No wonder he didn’t accept me,‘ she thought, seeing the obvious connection between them and how they were torturing each other. Linda took a deep breath.

Julian immediately chased after Katherine. “Let me see. Your foot is swollen!” He

couldn’t hold back anymore, ignoring Katherine’s protests, and picked her up. Katherine was startled, “What are you doing? Put me down!”

“Don’t move. Your foot is already swollen. If you don’t check it now, what if it’s fractured? Be good. Don’t worry. I’m only taking you to see a doctor. I’m not going to hurt you,” he said gently.

Hearing his concern, Katherine blushed as she lowereu ner head, thinking, ‘How can I convince myself to be with Dale when you’re so gentle?‘

Noticing her reaction, Julian said in a deep voice, “Don’t get the wrong idea. I’ve said it before–I’m helping you because you’re Valerie’s friend. I’m sure she wouldn’t want to see you like this.”

Katherine was extremely disappointed to hear that.

At the hospital, Julian carried her directly to the emergency room. “Quick, she’s injured her foot!” He hurriedly pulled out his phone to check the time, wanting to inform Valerie.

Katherine noticed with sharp eyes that his screensaver was, in fact, a photo of her.
