Chapter 325
Katherine merely nodded and did not elaborate. Then, she took Keith's pulse, pondered for a while,
and swiftly made the necessary arrangements. "The treatment requires that he have a lot of physical
strength. Now, his body is too weak, so we need to give him more nutrients. Let him consume a small
amount of food today, and I'll administer another round of acupuncture to stabilize his condition. We
can begin curing his poison if there aren't any problems with him internally tomorrow."
Tyler nodded, feeling an unexplainable sense of trust in her after witnessing her confidence and
methodical speech. "Good. It's good to hear that you have a cure. Everything will be fine after he's
treated."
After that, Joaquin ordered his subordinates to buy some light foods. Then, Katherine helped Keith sit
in bed and fed him food. Following that, she administered another round of acupuncture before letting
him lie down again.
That night, she didn't leave the hospital and stayed in the ward next door.
After ensuring that Keith had fallen asleep, Joaquin entered the ward next door. "Here, eat some food
and take a rest. You should rest early because you need the energy to treat Keith's poison."
When he saw Katherine's palm-sized face, a trace of heartache appeared in his eyes. Once everything
has been resolved, I'll bring her back to Hovington and feed her until she regains her previous weight.
However, she did not refuse his offer and sat beside the coffee table. As she unpacked the food
Jeremy had brought, Jayden and Corey entered the room.
"Kathy, here you are." As Jayden entered the room, he ignored Joaquin and walked over to her with a
frown.
Corey trailed Jayden by a few steps and greeted Joaquin with a nod before walking over to Katherine
and explaining in a soft voice, "I'm here to accompany my dad for his checkup. I did not anticipate
meeting Jayden here, and I noticed your silhouette. However, before I realized it was you, Jayden was
already rushing over here, and I didn't expect it to be you."
Putting down her fork, Katherine replied, "Yes. Something came up."
Jayden frowned. "Hasn't your grandma's funeral ended? Why are you still in the hospital? Are you
sick?"
Meanwhile, Corey was also concerned for her. "Yes. We're both worried about seeing you at the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthospital. Did something happen?"
After hesitating, she briefly told them what had happened but didn't spare any details. "Keith is sick, so
I'm here to visit him."
Ketherine merely nodded end did not eleborete. Then, she took Keith's pulse, pondered for e while,

After thet, Joequin ordered his subordinetes to buy some light foods. Then, Ketherine helped Keith sit

Thet night, she didn't leeve the hospitel end steyed in the werd next door.
After ensuring thet Keith hed fellen esleep, Joequin entered the werd next door. "Here, eet some food

However, she did not refuse his offer end set beside the coffee teble. As she unpecked the food

"Kethy, here you ere." As Jeyden entered the room, he ignored Joequin end welked over to her with e
frown.
Corey treiled Jeyden by e few steps end greeted Joequin with e nod before welking over to Ketherine
end expleining in e soft voice, "I'm here to eccompeny my ded for his checkup. I did not enticipete

Putting down her fork, Ketherine replied, "Yes. Something ceme up."
Jeyden frowned. "Hesn't your grendme's funerel ended? Why ere you still in the hospitel? Are you
sick?"
Meenwhile, Corey wes elso concerned for her. "Yes. We're both worried ebout seeing you et the
hospitel. Did something heppen?"
After hesiteting, she briefly told them whet hed heppened but didn't spere eny deteils. "Keith is sick, so
I'm here to visit him."
Jayden was surprised and exclaimed, "Keith?"
He didn't know about Keith, but Corey did know a little. "He's a postgraduate student studying at
Kyoland University."
After Corey said that, Jayden turned to look at Katherine. "What happens? Is it serious? Where is he
now? Is he in the ward next door?"
Then, she nodded and replied, "It's nothing serious. He will feel better after some rest and is already
asleep, so you shouldn't visit him lest you wake him."
When Corey and Jayden heard what she said, they nodded and stopped insisting on visiting her
brother.
At that moment, Corey looked at Joaquin gentlemanly and reached out his hand. "Mr. Levisay, we meet
again. Thank you for taking care of Kathy these days."
Joaquin shook his hand and remained unfazed. "You're welcome. I'm her husband and staying by her
is what I should do."
Those words sounded jarring to Jayden, and he inconspicuously frowned. Then, he glanced at Joaquin
from the corner of his eye but still didn't greet him. Instead, he looked at Katherine and asked, "Kathy,
are these all you're eating?" As he spoke, he gave Joaquin a long, accusing look in the eye and said,
"Mr. Levisay, Kathy looking a little wan. Is this how you take care of her? She needs to consume more
nutrients, but this is all you're giving her? How do you expect her to feel better?"
His accusatory tone caused Joaquin to become glum after hearing them.
However, before Joaquin could respond, Katherine retorted emotionlessly, "I only want to eat light
foods now. He has been taking great care of me, so I don't need an outsider worrying about me."
In other words, Jayden was an outsider and had no right to accuse Joaquin of anything. When Jayden
heard that, his expression became gloomier.
Meanwhile, Joaquin remained calm and regarded Jayden with a slight arch of his eyebrow. "Mr. Hall,
I'm better than you at taking care of Kathy because I am her husband, and I know her condition better
than anyone else. Even if there is a problem, we, as a couple, will deal with it ourselves. So… we don't
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmneed you to boss us around." His tone had become impolite when he got to the last sentence.
Suddenly, Jayden's expression became gloomier. As he was about to rebuke Joaquin, Katherine
spoke, "Seeing that I still need to tend to Keith's matters, I don't have the effort to gather with you guys.
It's getting late, so you two should head home and rest."
Her words were intended to drive them away, which caused Jayden to frown even more.
Nonetheless, Corey knew how to weigh the situation and tried to lighten the mood. "You're right. It must
be exhausting for you to accompany Keith after finishing up with your grandma's funeral arrangements.
We were worried, so we came to check up on you. Now that we know there's nothing major, we can
rest assured. We'll pay you a visit once Keith feels better. We're going to leave now." While he spoke,
he patted Jayden's shoulder and winked at him. "Let's go."
Jayden gritted his teeth, and although he was reluctant to leave, he did not want Katherine to grow tired
of him, so he had no choice but to depart.
Before they left, Corey thought of something and said to her, "I heard the Moran Family went to cause
a scene at the funeral and surrounded the hotel where you stayed. If there's anything you can't settle in
Kyoland, give me a call."
However, Katherine nodded and thanked him for his kind gesture, but she didn't say anything more nor
look at Jayden.
After the two came out of the hospital, Jayden still looked grim.
Meanwhile, Corey noticed that and felt helpless. "I know you have feelings for Kathy, but she's married,
so it's about time you get over her."
While glancing sideways at Corey, Jayden rebuked, "So, what if she's married? That Levisay guy
doesn't deserve her."
"Feelings are like drinking water. How do you know if the person is the right one without giving it a try?
Jayden, you need to get over your obsession, or else she won't accept your feelings and may stop
seeing you as a friend." Having said what he needed to say, Corey didn't get into the details and left.
Meanwhile, Jayden stood at the hospital's entrance, frowning while thinking about what Corey had
said. Then, a layer of shadow covered his eyes. Friends? I've never wanted to be friends with her! No
matter what it takes, I will get her, whether it's her body or her medical skills!
As he contemplated, he frowned again. Then, he took out his phone to call his subordinates and
ordered, "Dig into the Moran Family and see if there's any connection to Katherine Cornell."
He had been abroad these few years and had only recently returned, so he was unfamiliar with the
matters in Kyoland. It looks like she still has quite a few secrets.
