" Bastard….what did you do to my wife?" Adrian yelled, fuming in anger.
On hearing the voice, Duke ran into the room where Katherine was there. He didn't expect Adrian at his home and stood rooted in the place.
Adrian noticed Duke was shirtless and gritted his teeth in anger. " How dare you drug my wife! Huh!! " he shouted and punched him in the face. " How could you do to her? You…" Adrian punched him again. He looked like a raging bull.
Just in time, a young girl came to the room and asked him to stop. " Please calm down….Mister…"
" You want me to stop him beating...see….at my wife. She was drugged…" Adrian shouted, looking at Kathie.
" Please calm down...she was not drugged. She fainted due to a cold and fever. I think she hasn't had any food since morning…" She said,
" Mr.Wilson….listen to me...once " Duke pleaded.
Adrian was angry at him as he brought his wife to his house and didn't inform him anything. Still, he didn't have trust in him.
Katherine could hear the conversation but she was not in a state to reply. Her eyelids were fluttering and were trying to open her eyes. But she could not….
" Mr. Wilson….I went to check Miss. Vanessa this morning. When I reached her home, I saw Mrs. Wilson was waiting outside Vanessa's flat in the cold weather. After talking with her for some time, Mrs. Wilson left her place. I too followed her and noticed something was wrong with her. Then she was suddenly supposed to fall. So I carried to my home…" he told him.
" If it was the truth then why didn't you call me and inform me about her? " he inquired as he didn't believe his words.
" I was worried about her and didn't get an idea in my mind. I made a call to one of the neighbors who is going to house a surgeon. Immediately, she came to this place on my call. She examined Mrs. Wilson and told her pulse was abnormal and also had a fever. Then she saw a bandage on her feet which was covered with blood " Duke explained.
Adrian was then reminded of her injury at the back of her feet last night.
" Don't worry, Mr. Wilson. I gave a painkiller injection. I think she didn't eat anything for the morning or maybe she was stressed..." the young medico said.
" Then why she is naked! " Adrian asked them.
" Naked!! " Duke and the young medico looked at each other faces.
" I just removed her coat as I turned the room weather " she answered.
Instantly, Adrian walked towards her and slightly opened the quilt over her body. Then he felt relieved. She wore a strapless dress. He misunderstood when he saw her bare shoulders under the quilt.
" I am extremely sorry...I mistook your intentions. . " Adrian said, looking at Duke.
" Anyone in your place would behave like you. It is not so easy for anyone to trust a person like me. That too when I am in shirtless" Duke said.
…
" Once again...I am sorry. I should have given you a chance to speak…" he said, feeling guilty for his action.
" It's okay….Mr. Wilson…Just be with your wife. I will prepare coffee for my boss who visited for the first time at my home…" he informed and left the place.
Katherine slowly opened her eyes with his touch. When he touched her body, her skin was burning like a fire.
" Adrian…." She called in a low voice.
Adrian sat at the edge of the bed and saw the bandage on her feet.
" Call that girl. Her skin is burning like fire…." Adrian said, touching her forehead.
Meanwhile, the medico came to the room and asked Adrian to feed the soup which she brought. Adrian carefully made her sit on the bed and feed the soup.
" You...silly woman….do you know how much worried, I was…" he said to Kathie after feeding the soup.
" When the weather is so cold, why did you go outside! Don't you know... it's not good for your health?" He asked her.
" Mrs. Wilson...please have this sandwich…" Duke asked while entering the room.
" I think….I troubled you so much…" Katherine said in a weak tone.
" Yes…. This time, I thought my boss would have been killed me. But luckily my neighbor saved me at the right time " Duke said, looking at Adrian.
" I don't hesitate to kill anyone who tries to harm my loved ones, " Adrian said, placing his hands around her shoulder.
" if you don't mind, can you tell me your love story?" Duke asked curiously.
" Some other time, when my wife is fit and fine. Now, we will leave…" Adrian said and stood up from the bed.
" Mr. Wilson...let her eat a sandwich and take these medicines first," the medico said.
Katherine eat one sandwich and took medicines. As her feet were injured, he covered her with a coat and lifted her in his arms, and then carried her to his car.
He made her sit carefully in the back seat and sat beside her. " I will be thankful to you, Mr. Duke, for taking care of my wife," he informed and asked the driver to take to their home.
…..
Once they reached the home, Maria was surprised by Adrian and Katherine's early return.
" Why Katherine not walking? " Maria asked Adrian.
" She is having fever and her feet is injured…" Adrian answered.
" what happened? " She questioned his son.
" Mom...I accidentally placed my feet on the glass piece in the manufacturing unit. I forgot to wear boots over there," Katherine lied to Maria as she knew if her mother-in-law came to know about Adrian's condition last night, she would be upset.
" You would be careful at work. Look...how my son was worried about you. Even though you know the situation at the company, you are making him more worried " Maria said in a serious tone.
" Sorry. .. Mom…." Kathie said.
" I want you to be a big support to my son but not a burden …" she said in a cold tone.
" Mom…" Adrian tried to tell the truth but Kathie pressed his arm and signaled with her eyes to not tell the truth.
" Are you getting angry at me for seriously talking with your wife? " Maria asked his son.
