Catherine's POV
"Melinda, stop making fun of me. Look at me. I'm started to worry about my face," I said, picking up a mirror next to me.
I checked on the bruises on my face. They were almost healed and didn't leave scars. However, I could still see some marks if I looked closer.
I touched my head, which was still wrapped in gauze. I sighed, "Though my injuries have recovered, I feel less confident. I don't know if I'm good enough for him now."
Melinda comforted me gently, "Cathy, you worry too much. You're King Blake's mate. You are perfect in his eyes."
"I don't think so." I covered my face with my hands. I said with frustration, "He has been taking care of me these days. I feel guilty. He has so much work to do, but he puts it aside just to look after me. That's why I am in such a hurry to leave the hospital."
Melinda smiled, "Cathy, it proves that King Blake loves you. Why would he choose to stay with you every day if he didn't love you? I'm happy for you."
I raised my head and looked at her in surprise. "Melinda, why are you happy?"
"Because King Blake loves you so much. I'm sure you won't be heartbroken again whether there will be other women around him or not because King Blake will never do anything to hurt you." Melinda sounded certain.
I was amused by her words. I nodded. "You're right. I can feel how much he loves me. I'm so grateful to the Moon Goddess for bringing him into my life."
Melinda nodded. Then she glanced at the time and said, "Cathy, I've got to go now. If there's anything, just call me!" Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
I nodded. "Go ahead. I'm OK. Don't worry about me."
After Melinda left, Blake came back. These days, my ward became his office, and Dowen had to run back and forth between the company and the hospital.
"Did you guys have a good time chatting?" When Blake saw me smiling, he smiled too.
"Yes. Melinda always makes me laugh." I nodded.
Blake sat next to my bed, reached out, and touched my forehead. Then he held my hand in his palm. "What did you guys talk about? Can you tell me?"
I was a little shy. "Nothing important. I was worried that you might have been worn out. Are you bored staying with me every day?"
Blake looked at me and said gently, "How come? Don't you know that I want nothing but to stay with you?"
I reached out and stroked my long hair. Because of the injury, I didn't wash my hair for several days. Thinking of this, I lowered my head and said, "I stink. How can you still enjoy spending time with me? I hate myself for how I look now."
Blake reached out and touched my face. He was a little worried. "Cathy, stop saying that. You're my mate. I'll always love you no matter what."
"Blake, thanks for taking care of me these days." I was very touched. In the past few days, whenever I needed anything, Blake would get it for me right away. He even changed the dressings for me and cleaned my body with towels. I was so embarrassed.
I had always wanted to show him the best of me, but what happened now?
My wound was ugly, I looked haggard. I didn't even want to look at myself. However, he didn't mind at all. On the contrary, he looked at me affectionately.
"Stupid girl. Don't think too much. You are as pretty as ever. I mean it!"
I was so touched that my eyes welled up. Blake looked at me, smiling.
Then, I couldn't help but smile too.
Blake held me gently in his arms. He sighed, "I just want you to get better soon. Noah and Hedwig miss you. And I need you. Don't give up on yourself, OK?"
"OK. I promise. I'll get myself right," I cried while saying so.
He was right. How could I be so pessimistic?
I had Blake, Noah, Hedwig, and Halsey. They were all my family. I needed to be strong.
The next morning arrived.
Blake checked me out.
We went back to the Mountaintop Villa. Patricia was standing in the doorway of the living room with Noah and Hedwig, waiting for me.
As soon as I got out of the car, Patricia asked with concern, "Do you feel better?"
I didn't expect Patricia to be so worried about me. I was a little surprised, and then I replied softly, "Patricia, thanks for asking. I'm better now."
"Noah and Hedwig have been worried about you. It's great to have you back," Patricia said.
I looked at Noah and Hedwig gently. They smiled when they saw me.
Blake stood beside me. He was in a good mood, too.
"Patricia, thanks for taking care of the kids these days," I said gratefully.
Patricia shook her head. "You don't have to thank me. They are my grandchildren. I'll be upset if you don't let me take care of them."
"Patricia, I'll take Cathy back to the Lakeside Villa now," Blake suddenly said.
"Where are you going? You don't have to go back there. You can stay here. I have already asked the servants to get the rooms ready. You all can stay here," Patricia asked me to stay in the Mountaintop Villa.
I was surprised. Noah and Hedwig winked at me. Then, I realized that it was their doing.
Blake grinned.
I was about to go upstairs to check out my room when Blake's phone rang.
Blake glanced at the incoming number and said in a low voice, "Go upstairs and check the rooms with the kids. I need to take this."
Blake took his phone and walked to the garden.
I watched him leave to answer the phone. For no reason, I was a little worried. I had a feeling. There was something he didn't tell me.
"Mommy, let's go and check the rooms." Hedwig took my hand.
I looked at Hedwig and said gently, "Sure. Let's compete with Noah and see who gets to the rooms first, OK?"
"Yes! Mommy, let's run!" Hedwig shouted happily.
"Wait for me," Noah shouted from behind.
We waited in the room for a while, but Blake didn't come up.
"Why hasn't Daddy come up yet? I'll go check on him." Hedwig ran out.
Noah and I followed her out.
Noah and I came down, then I saw Blake hugging Hedwig tightly. He looked sad.
"Daddy, what's wrong? Are you unhappy?" Hedwig asked with concern. "Did anyone bully you?"
Blake's voice was a little hoarse. "I'm fine. No one bullied me."
Hedwig saw me. She ran over and said, "Mommy, Daddy doesn't look happy. You should talk to him. I'm going to play with Noah!"
After Hedwig finished speaking, she pulled Noah and ran away.
I looked at Blake in surprise. Hedwig's words proved that my concern was true. Something was bothering Blake.
