Olivia looked at her and nodded. “Okay. Go ahead.” Kate felt slightly upset but she was, in fact, upset at herself. She was upset by her soft-heartedness, and she was also annoyed with herself for being persistent despite knowing that things wouldn’t work out. She couldn’t even contain herself from showing concern.
Somehow, she felt that she lacked dignity. That was a man who didn’t take her to heart, so why did she still want to express her concern for him anyway?
She angrily raced after him and trailed behind him. Meanwhile, Kate spent quite some time coaxing herself that Nathan had sustained those injuries because of her so out of obligation, she couldn’t ignore him. Yes, I’m not going after him because I care about him.
She walked out of the hospital ward and chased after Nathan to the elevators. At that moment, she saw that he was about to enter the elevator, so she voiced out, “Wait up!”
Suddenly, Nathan paused in his tracks and there was a furtive smile on his lips. I knew that she wouldn’t just stand idly and watch as I go and get us some food by myself. I’m injured after all! See… She’s here! In fact, he had been quite worried earlier on that she wouldn’t come out.
Right now, he realized that she still cared about him so his happiness was evident. He tried hard to suppress his smile as he slowly turned around to look at her. “Why did you come out?”
At that point, Kate glared at him angrily. “You’re injured so what can you do by yourself? He told you to send someone, so you should listen to him and send someone else to go and do all this! Why do you have to put on a strong front when you’re obviously unable to do it?!”
Meanwhile, Nathan was evidently very content to hear her words and expression. It had been so long since she had spoken to him in such a manner, so he relished in it. With a smile, he replied, “I can manage this. Besides, I’ve got you here with me too!”
As soon as Kate heard that, she paused in her tracks for a moment, and she suddenly felt quite offended as she looked at Nathan with a hostile look. “Did you expect me to come out after you?”
The feeling could be described as her contemplating the situation for quite some time while she struggled to make up her mind. In the end, however, he knew exactly what was on her mind.
At that point, she couldn’t contain her embarrassment and anger and she started to regret her decision for coming out after him like a silly girl. As for Nathan, he stopped smirking because he sensed her anger and he knew that he had been way too excited.
“No, I meant to say that I was going to hail a cab to get there, and then come back here by hailing a ride too. Once I’m back here, the bodyguards can help me carry the stuff upstairs.” Kate looked at him, her expression resigned. “Where do you want to go?”
“It’s that restaurant that we used to frequent,” he replied. “Their herbal soup is very tasty, and the ingredients in the soup are very nourishing for replenishing blood loss. It’s suitable for Uncle Brian.”
Suddenly, the moments from the past flooded Kate’s mind. They had gone through a lot in seven years and although she hadn’t intended to reminisce about the past, she couldn’t suppress those memories either.
“Yes. Let’s order some beef. It’s good for replenishing blood loss.”
“And we need to buy some food for Uncle Eugene and Olivia too.” They remained in discussion as they walked out of the hospital. Just then, Nathan glanced at Kate. “Why don’t you drive there?”
Kate agreed and took the keys from the bodyguard before entering the car. Meanwhile, Nathan was injured on his right arm, so he found it quite hard to get around with just his left hand. He couldn’t seem to open the car door with his left hand despite trying multiple times, and it felt as if things were not going well with him and the car door today.
Kate, who was already seated in the driver’s seat, got out of the car to open the front passenger door for him. Subsequently, she said out of habit, “You can’t even manage to open a car door and yet, you’re so eager to go and get us food?!”
He wasn’t upset by her chides and he replied with a jovial voice, “I’m not usually so silly. This car’s just not right for me.” As for Kate, she couldn’t contain her laughter. “That’s true. You’re not usually that silly.”
Meanwhile, Nathan seemed quite smug as he heard that, and he lifted his brows at her. Before he could say the words ‘You agree too, huh?’, she continued, “That’s because you’re normally extremely dumb!”
Her words were basically concluding his personality for the past seven years, and he awkwardly found himself at a loss for words.
