As the housemaid was arranging for the food on the table, Adrian got another call. It was from Thomas. He clicked and accepted it as he asked, "What is it?"
"We can take the blood test today. Bring Kathie right away." Thomas paused as if he were thinking about something and said in a low voice, "Make sure not to tell her anything as we discussed, alright?"
"Okay. Rest assured. Kathie is my wife. I know what I'm doing."
"Good. We will soon figure out the truth of that drink after the blood test." Thomas said and sighed before hanging up the phone.
Adrian's expressions had turned darker as he thought of the person who had spiked the drink. It should be that both the people who spiked the drink and gave those flowers were the same, right?
Before he could continue to think about this, his wife walked out and sat on the dining table. She looked at Adrian looking ahead in a daze. She called out to him. "Ad! What're you on about? Come over and eat."
Adrian woke up from a daze and the two of them ate the food in silence. Katherine noticed his expressions and frowned. After eating the food, she couldn't help it anymore and asked while doing the dishes. "Why are you frowning like this?"
"I'm worried about your health. You were fainted last night in the event" Adrian blurted out those words and said, "I think we should do a blood test."
"Blood test?" Katherine repeated those words and frowned. She felt uncomfortable, but when she saw her husband's serious face, she couldn't say no. It was just a blood test. Why should she worry about it when her husband was the person who asked for it? Then she smiled and tilted her head. "Anything for you, Ad."
Adrian's heartbeat sped up at those words. His heartfelt warmth all of a sudden as he took hold of her palms and intertwined their fingers. In his heart, he promised himself that he would deal with those men without hesitation as fast as possible!
After that, the two of them went together to the hospital where Thomas was working. As the nurses got the instruction from Thomas, they immediately took Katherine to the clinic for the test. At this time, Adrian gave her a reassuring smile since only patients were allowed to enter the testing room. So he sat outside on the bench. Just then, his phone rang again.
It was Ruby.
He picked it up and said, "What's up?"
"She's fine, right?" It was Martin who spoke through the phone. Then there was some voice in the background and someone yelled something that Adrian couldn't hear because of disturbances. After a while, he finally heard another familiar voice.
"Please tell me Kathie is fine," Ruby spoke up in a begging tone.
"She's good. I came to the hospital for the blood test."
Ruby relaxed upon hearing that. Then she said with a bitter smile on her face. "I was present at the scene, but I still couldn't save her. I'm such a bad sister."
Adrian felt awkward after hearing these words. He didn't know how to respond. So he just opened his mouth and said, "I promise you to find the perpetrator soon enough. We already have one lead.
"Really?!" Ruby spoke up with a hint of excitement in her tone.
" Already your boyfriend helped us by saving Katherine dignity damage in the public " he added.
"That's good then. Bye," She ended the call
Adrian said nothing and they hung up the call. After that, he continued to wait for his wife to come out. Since the hospital was famous, the line to take blood tests was bigger than anything else. So it didn't matter whether they knew the man personally. Even Katherine had to stand in a long line inside the room to get the blood test. By that time, Adrian took out his phone and started sorting out his work for the day.
Just as he put his phone down, he saw Katherine walking out of the room with a piece of cotton stuck in her arm. She pressed her finger against it as she pursed her lips while walking toward him.
Then she stood in front of him and said, "Report will be here tomorrow."
Adrian nodded and said, "Let's go home."
It was already late afternoon by the time the two of them returned to their home. Katherine plopped down on the couch as she stared lazily at her husband. "There."
Adrian raised his brows, but he did as she said. He walked over and sat beside her. Just as he did, she stretched her arms and laid on his lap, and said, "I'm tired. Let me lay down for a while." Then she took the TV remote and turned it on. There was a comedy TV show that she loved. When she looked at the show, her eyes lit up as she exclaimed. "I love this show!"
The man's fingers caressed his wife's forehead for a while. He didn't even sneak a glance at the TV. Instead, he continued to look at her with a hint of affection in his eyes.
How good would it be if she continued to smile like this forever?
After some time, she noticed her husband was staring at her without watching a comedy show.
" Ad...my face is not so funny to watch. The comedy show is on TV " she informed and waved her palms in front of his eyes.
" You are not funny, my love but the most beautiful and sexy woman " he replied pulling her onto his lap.
" Really!!" she giggled and placed her head on his chest.
" Yeah...If you are with me, I would forget the whole world around me. You are the most beautiful thing that happened in my life " He caressed her hair.
" I too feel the same….Ad. You colored my life with your love " she kissed his neck.
He groaned when her soft lips brushed his sensitive spot.
" Baby...don't start tempting me. If the monster inside my pants becomes hard, doesn't show mercy even you are sore…" he pinched her nose.
She bit at his neck with his words.. Then she stood up from his lap and ran away from him.
