Marshall knew what the answer was once he noticed Peter looking away. He sneered, but he didn’t expose Peter. A moment later, Katherine got her answer too, so she sighed quietly and looked away.
Feeling awkward, Peter stood up and changed the topic. “Um, I got our dinner, so have it while it’s hot.” He placed the food on her table and opened the lids.
It was bland, to say the least. There wasn’t even any color in the food, just like Katherine’s face. “Hey, what is this? How am I supposed to eat this?” Katherine was irked.
Peter glared at her. “Your stomach needs rest, so light food is all you can eat. Don’t complain and stuff it down. Once you get better, you can eat whatever you want.” Turning around, he then uncovered what he bought for himself and Marshall.
Katherine was vexed now, so she complained, “What’s this? What are you guys eating?”
Peter looked at her innocently. “Seafood and a lot of meat. Why?” Katherine glowered at him, but Peter ignored her and went on with setting up their dinner before inviting Marshall. “Dig in, boss. Our stomachs are healthy, so we can eat whatever we want.”
With gritted teeth, Katherine glared at Peter, while Marshall ignored them. He tucked into his food before telling Peter, “I’ll be going for an appointment tomorrow night. You don’t have to come with me, so stay here.”
Katherine was surprised. “I can be discharged tomorrow,” she said.
Marshall looked at her. “You’d better listen to the doctor’s orders.”
Katherine nodded. “I did ask the doctor, and all I have to do is get some injection, then it’ll heal up if I rest. I don’t have to be hospitalized that long.”
Marshall frowned as per usual. “Peter, verify that with the doctor tomorrow.”
He doesn’t trust me? Katherine put on a long face.
Peter was digging in happily. “Sure. I’ll ask the doctor after this.”
She looked at her porridge and veggies, then she looked at them having seafood and meat. Damn. What’s the use of money if you can’t have good food?
Katherine didn’t feel too happy, so she didn’t eat much. After two bites, she put her spoon down and leaned back on the bed. It was a luxurious ward, but she didn’t feel at home here. Marshall left after finishing his dinner, saying he had business to settle. As for what it was, Katherine didn’t want to know.
After cleaning their stuff away, Peter asked Katherine, “Did the doctor really say you can get discharged?”
Katherine grunted. “Yeah. I just need some injection, and the rest depends on me. I can just heal up at home. No hospitalization needed.”
Peter nodded. “Yeah, that’s better anyway. No place like home, am I right? At least you feel better at home.”
After giving it some thought, Katherine turned to Peter. “Who’s your boss going on an appointment with tomorrow night?”
Peter sat down on the sofa. “Not sure, but it’s probably with Infinity Group.” Then he quickly added, “Remember the woman you saw back at the beach? She works with Infinity Group. She obviously likes the boss, so look out.”
Katherine sneered. “Why should I? Does this have anything to do with me?” However, she still gave it a thought. Peter didn’t notice that, nor did he care, so he went back to his mobile game. Katherine took her phone, and a plan started forming in her mind.
When the nurse came to pull the syringe out, Peter asked if Katherine could be discharged the next day. The nurse answered while tidying up the apparatus, “Yes. Another injection tomorrow, and you can be discharged, but…” She looked at Katherine. “You need to take it slow and heal up. Your condition is severe, so if you don’t keep an eye on it, it will get worse.”
Katherine grunted. “Yeah, I understand.” After the nurse was gone, Katherine arched her eyebrow. “I’ll be discharged tomorrow afternoon. You have nothing to do, right? Come pick me up, then.”
