Beloved Wife Of The God Of War

Chapter 61 What Do You Know About The Food Poisoning

Where was such question coming from? Katherine thought to herself. Before she could open her mouth

to speak, the door opened and two figures walked in. They were Burnett and Julie.

Katherine was surprised to see her adopted parents. She stood from the seat, wondering what they

were doing here. Burnett and Julie were equally surprised to see Katherine here.

"What are you doing here?" Julie asked angrily.

"I should be asking you that question," Katherine replied back sternly.

"Mrs. Julie, do you know her?" Tammy asked Julie.

"This bitch was the one we brought home that night we gave you that babyboy to take care," Julie had

finished answering before she realized that she shouldn't have said that.

Tammy knew at once that Katherine was Coleen's sister. Her mood suddenly brightened up.

Katherine was still trying to make a sense of what Julie said, "General and I are here for an official

assignment, please step out. When we are done, you can come and check on her." Samantha said.

Julie and Burnett didn't even argue, they just walked out.

"Mrs. Did you know them?" Katherine asked her.

Tammy's face that was once cold was now bright.

"What's your name?" Tammy asked Katherine again with a smile.

Katherine wondered if this woman have a ear to hear, she kept asking her weird questions whenever

she asks her question.

"My name is Katherine. Can you hear me? Can you answer my question?" She asked.

"Or course I hear you," Tammy said and looked at Samantha, "can you tell her to excuse us, I have

some things to tell you."

"Samantha is my bestfriend, you can say what you want to say," Katherine said believing that whatever

Tammy wants to say can't be so serious.

"I hope you know that Mr. Burnett and Mrs. Julie aren't your biological parents? If you have not known, I

should tell you now. They were barren for many years so they resorted to stealing children from a

family. I don't know whom the family is." She said. Tammy didn't see any reason to hide the truth since

she only have a few more weeks to live. Her sickness had worsened so bad but she told the doctor not

to tell it to Coleen. The doctor attending to her always tell Coleen that Tammy is getting better but the

opposite was the case.

"Samantha, please excuse us," Katherine said and Samantha quickly walked out. She walked closer to

Tammy and asked, "who are you to Mr. Burnett and Mrs. Julie?"

"I was their maid." She answered, "that night, Mrs. Burnett came up home with a babygirl which is you.

Then a couple of hours later, Mr. Julie appeared with another babyboy, that boy is your twin brother.

But Mr. Julie didn't want the boy so he gave me and told me to take care of him. That boy is..."

"Coleen? Coleen is my twin brother?" Katherine asked in shock.

"Yes. I'm not his biological mother but he believed I am," Tammy answered.

Katherine stood, she was extremely shocked.

"Coleen is my brother?" She repeated, the revelation was too much for her to handle.

"So tell me why you are really here, my daughter?" Tammy asked.

Katherine's mood had become disorganized. If Tammy knew that Coleen will be executed in three

days, it will worsen her condition definitely.

"I already stated it, ma. Why would the kidnappers return you without any extrenal force applied on

them?" She said.

"I think Coleen got into trouble with some powerful people so they took me in to get to him," Tammy

answered.

Got in trouble....with some powerful people? Katherine thought to herself and then held Tammy's palm,

"I'll bring my medical kits tomorrow to examine your condition. I'm a surgeon General and you know

what that means? I've a great skill when it comes to medics, I promise you that you will heal from this

sickness, by God's grace." She said.

"Okay, my daughter, I'll be expecting you. Tell Coleen to visit me soon also," she said.

"Sure," Katherine nodded and turned to walk away. She suddenly paused and turned back to her, "are

you sure you want to see Mrs. Julie and Mr. Burnett?" For some reasons, Katherine didn't feel

comfortable letting Julie and Burnett see Tammy.

"I don't have a problem with that," Tammy said, still smiling. Katherine nodded and then walked out.

Just after Katherine and Samantha drove away, Julie and Burnett entered. Julie immediate went behind

the door and picked up her phone. She had set the sound recorder on her phone and had intentionally

dropped her phone behind the door when Burnett and her were walking out. That's how she can know

what Katherine was here to discuss with Tammy.

Julie played the record and everyone in the room listened to the conversation from the beginning to the

end.

"Thought you told us that that babyboy we gave you had died? So the boy is Coleen?" Burnett asked

angrily, "not only did you lie, you even told the truth of the matter to Katherine."

Tammy became scared. She had thought that Burnett and Julie wouldn't hear what she said to

Katherine.

"Hubby, it's too dangerous for us to keep this woman alive," Julie said to her husband.

"I guess we have no choice but to..." Burnett walked towards Tammy and choked her to death. Seeing

that she was no longer breathing, he sighed and said, "you made us kill you by not being able to seal

your mouth."

"Let's leave before anyone finds out," Julie said and both couple quickly walked out. When they got

outside, they walked slowly to their car as if nothing happened just so that the two security men

guarding the building wouldn't suspect that they had done something wrong.

The unsuspecting security men watched as Burnett and Julie drove away.

When Katherine got home, she locked herself up in her room. Her mind was so occupied that she

didn't even have any space to think about anything else but Coleen. Coleen did not even have any idea

that they were twin. Should she tell him? Or should he take him to that woman so he can hear out the

truth himself.

She can't watch her brother die in three days neither was she ready to die for an offence she didn't

commit.

She sunk to the bed and continued thinking on how to get out of this mess when her phone suddenly

rang briefly. She picked up sluggishly and seeing that the sender of the message was Derrick, she

quickly opened it.

"Meet me in my office, General." His message reads.

She quickly went to change her dress into a simple wear then left her room and walked over to his

room l. On getting before the door, she knocked gently.

"Come in." His voice could be heard from inside. Katherine opened the door and walked in. He

immediately saluted him but didn't have the nerve to look at his face.

"The Grandwar king's health are not improving at all. These men are most needed in the war that will

commence in just a few days time. Were you set up this time again? Was it the set up that didn't make

you eat the apple at your promotion party?"

"Marshall!" She called sadly, "I won't poison anyone. So is it Donna that poisoned the Grandwar kings

since you claim she's the only enemy you have?"

She sighed, "Marshall, I know this is hard to believe but in the few hours that I have left, I'll come up

with something tangible."

"Pray that none of the Grandwar kings dies," Derrick said. "Is there something I need to know

concerning this issue? You can tell me the truth and I'll see how I can help you."

"Honestly, I do not poison the apple," Katherine said.

"I won't be able to stop the Grandwar masters from killing you in two days time," Derrick said.

"That's the truth, I swear, I didn't do such. They were celebrating my promotion with me, how can I be

so cruel to ruin my own promotion? Marshall..."

Derrick stood and walked up to her, "your eyes looked tired and weary."

Katherine almost cried when he said that. "I also didn't think you will do that." Derrick added.

Tears streamed down from her face when he heard Derrick said this. So there is at least one person

who trusted her.

"That is because you have got into many trouble that you are innocent of. It's logical to think that you

are innocent of this as well but without proves, I won't be able to help you," his voice was gentle.

Katherine just kept sobbing. He intertwined his hands in hers and pulled her to his embrace slowly, "it's

okay to cry."

"I have began an investigation on the case but nothing positive has come out of it yet. I can only hope

that in two days time, something positive will surface," he said. After fifteen seconds of silence, he

added, "I like the smell of your hair."

Even while she was crying, she blushed.

He took a step back slowly from the hug and said, "I think you will feel better if you sleep in my arms

this night."

Katherine was shocked at the offer, sleeping in Marshall's arms is every women's dream but how does

she say 'yes' without sounding 'too willing.'

Derrick took her silence for yes and lead her to the bathroom, "you should shower then come to the

bed."

"Alright Marshall," she went ahead and shower then came out in only a towel. She could feel Marshall's

eyes on her and she felt greatly shy.

"My clothes are in my room," she said and glanced at him.

"You can wear my shirt," he said. She looked at the wardrobe and opened it, then picked one of his Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

mufti and wore it. The white shirt looked big on her and she loved it that way. Actually, she wasn't

wearing a pant nor a boxer. She searched his wardrobe for a short that she could wear but she didn't

see.

She wondered where he do keep his shorts. But she didn't know how to ask him where his shorts were.

It will sound awkward. Will she sleep like this? Although the shirt is big enough to cover her thigh but

nor wearing a pant or a short under made her feel somehow.

"Come," his voice suddenly jerked her off her thought. Having no choice, she crawled up the bed and

laid. He made her lay her head on his chest and cuddled her. He also covered the both of them in a

blanket.

Katherine had never felt this warm in a long time. She loved his alluring scent in particular. She felt so

safe and relaxed on his body that she forgot all her problems. She did not even know when she slept

off.

Derrick soon fell asleep as well. When he woke up the following day, he still had Katherine in his

embrace, she was still sound asleep. Actually, this was the first night in a long time when he would not

have nightmare.

A couple of minutes later, Katherine also woke. "Thank you, Marshall." She said as she pulled herself

away from his body. "I guess I should go to my room now."

"Alright," Derrick watched as she walked away in his shirt.

It was eventually the third day. Charles was brought to the field before the grandmaster's house. The

five Grandwar masters stood at alert but Derrick hadn't come yet.

Coleen had been made to kneel at the center of the field. Coleen couldn't be executed before everyone

cause they are making the case private since it involved Katherine.

Soon, Katherine was brought over and made to kneel as well but she was not handcuffed.

"Sir, please give us a few more days to come up with the truth. The Grandwar kings are still alive and

would definitely get better. They need me to get better," Katherine said.

Coleen only glanced at Katherine. He was angry that Donna hadn't made any move to help him out so

he had determined that no matter what, he would expose Donna today.

"Coleen, for the last time, what do you know about the food poisoning?" One of the five Grandwar

masters asked him.
