Chapter 116 Her Memory

It seems that hate was much easier than love... Kate thought as she drifted back to sleep.

The next morning, when the nurse came to change her IV, Kate insisted on leaving the hospital.

The nurse tried to persuade her to stay and when Kate refused, she called Joseph into the room, which infuriated Kate even further.

"He is nobody to me and it will not make any difference. He is not authorized to make any decisions for me!"

The nurse felt compassion for Joseph, and added, "If Mr. Smith didn't care about you, why did he stay in the chair outside of your room all night? And even when I came in to check on you, he reminded me not to wake you up…"

"Enough! Just do your job!" Joseph interrupted.

The nurse shivered with fright, and hurriedly agreed, "Alright."

Kate quickly sneered, "He is my enemy, he is only doing this to save the love of his life. Unfortunately, it won't work because I am not the same fool who loved him carelessly in the past!" She

"But I did see Mr. Smith kiss ..."

"Can you leave us alone?" Joseph interrupted the nurse.

"Uh... Of course."

As soon as the nurse left, Kate said to him, "I need to be discharged!"

She wanted to go see Anna and Dora, Joseph could read her mind, "I know exactly what you are thinking about right now. You need to promise me that you will get better…"

"Why should I promise you?" Kate didn't want him to try and negotiate with her. She snarled, "If you want to beg and plead for Anna, just save it! I am not going to listen!"

"You still don't understand what is in my heart?" He could suffer anything else but Kate not knowing how he felt hurt him, "If I wanted to plead for her, I would not expose her conspiracy and bring your father to confess."

"Great! I guess I should thank you for telling me the truth! So, what do you want? Are you going to keep threatening me?" Kate admitted that her heart was cold and she was trying to hurt Joseph.

Joseph understood that she was angry and did not continue to explain.

Seeing that he was not saying anything, Kate got out of bed and called Lisa, "Are you free? Can you come to the hospital and pick me up?"

"Hospital?" Lisa panicked, "What happened?"

"I'm fine, I ..."

"You don't have to come; I'll take her home," Joseph grabbed Kate's phone and told Lisa.

"Are you crazy?" When Kate got her phone back, Joseph had already hung up.

Joseph said with a grim face, "You are not in good health. It's not suitable for you to ride on a motorcycle. And, do you really think you can solve this on your own? Your father, Dora and Anna, none of them are very nice. I am afraid that you may not be able to handle them!"

"For now, you should put aside the anger you for me, the most important thing is that we settle everything else. After that, you can get back at me," Joseph picked up Kate's shoes and then her.

Kate instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck, and their faces moved closer. Kate lifted her eyes and looked into his, her heart was pounding.

Once they got to the car, Joseph bent down to put Kate's shoes on her. Kate tried to pull her foot back but Joseph said in a low voice, "Don't move!"

It was as if he was ordering her, but she obeyed and stared at him dumbfounded. No woman who loved such a handsome man could refuse such gentleness. She still lit up with excitement even with so many bad memories about him.

Why is he so gentle to me? I must be delusional; he has to have an ulterior motive. Kate shook her head to calm herself down.

"What's the matter?" He looked up to see that she was looking at him. He couldn't but laugh, "It is the first time I have tied someone else's shoes, it feels… not all that bad."

He closed the door and returned to the driver's seat with a faint smile on his lips.

The first time...for me? Kate was moved but again forced herself to calm down.

"So what, should I thank you?" She said coldly, she was determined to show her dissatisfaction with him.

Joseph was not annoyed, "Actually, the little hedgehog is quite cute."

Little hedgehog? Is he talking about me? Kate thought but she was not in the mood to argue with him. She turned and looked out the window, hoping he would not talk to her.

Along the way, Joseph glanced at her from time to time. He didn't want her to notice out of fear that she would get angry again.

Within half an hour, they arrived at Smith House. What Kate didn't know though was when she insisted on leaving the hospital, Joseph ordered his men to have Dora, Anna and Leo waiting at the house when they arrived.

Daisy wasn't aware of what happened, she was astonished to see Leo walking. As soon as Kate stepped in the door, she ran to tell her, "Kate, Leo has recovered! He can walk!"

Leo bowed his head in shame and didn't dare to look at Kate.

"His legs were never broken so they didn't need to recover!" Kate snorted coldly.

"Never broken?" Daisy didn't understand what Kate was saying.

"Bring them in!" Joseph ordered.

Kate looked at the door and saw both Dora and Anna being escorted in by two large men.

Anna curiously looked around and mumbled, "Where are we? Why did you bring me here?"

Did she really have amnesia? Kate wondered.
