Mommy...Can you Win Daddy's Love again?

Chapter 187 - Smart Katherine

" Calm down…" Katherine placed her hand on his shoulder.

He looked at her with a straight face and said, " What! "

" When I was waiting for you during the lunch break. I got a call to the intercom from the basement. One of the security informed me that Duke was not opening his eyes when entering the room to give food. I was so scared and went to the basement in a hurry. I noticed his pulse rate is very low. Then I immediately called Thomas and brought him for the primary check-up to know the problem, " she explained.

" You must leave him in that state. Why do you bring him here! " he questioned.

" Don't talk like an idiot !! Katherine shouted for the first time after he came to the place.

" Don't you think about the consequences of your action, if he is dead in our company!! What about your company's reputation? What about all your hard work in these years" she questioned.

" Answer to her questions, " Thomas repeated.

" If she didn't bring that bastard at the right time, he might be dead by this time. As he was tortured for one week and was not given proper food, his sugar levels in the body refused and his pulse rate also decreased due to the weather condition " Thomas explained.

" Ad...Remember my words….In the past, in the present, and the future, you and Sam are my priority. I thought about your future. It doesn't mean I don't respect you. Your place in my heart is always in the top place " she said, sitting beside him.

" If you still think that, I am wrong. I am very sorry " she apologized, holding his left hand.

" You are not wrong. No need to apologize to this idiot. I knew how much you love this man, " Thomas said, patting her back.

Adrian realized his mistake and looked at his wife who eyes were filled with tears.

He kneeled on the floor and said, " Buttercup...I am sorry. In anger, I hurt you. I might have listened to your words " 

" Kathie...I think I made a big mistake by helping him in getting married to you. I suggest you divorce him and marry a handsome and caring man, " Thomas advised.

" Shut your mouth or else I will break your teeth. If you repeat these words, I will forget that you are my best friend, " Adrian warned.

" If you again try to hurt Kathie then I will also forget that you are my best friend " he replied in a serious tone.

When the arguments were going on, the nurse interrupted them.

" Sir, the patient opened his eyes…" She informed them and left the room.

Three of them went to his room. Thomas checked the pulse rate and oxygen levels of his body.

" He is out of danger," he said after checking the case file.

" Ad….After Duke is cured, just leave him " Katherine suggested.

Adrian was startled at her words and looked at Duke.

" So you want this bastard to leave like that. What if he tries to repeat with any other woman or even with you" He questioned Katherine whereas Duke was looking at them with fear.

" Every person makes mistakes. But they should get a chance to change themselves, " Katherine said.

" He is a snake. Being my employee, he cheated me" Adrian said.

" You gave me a chance in our life even though I hurt you. Isn't it!! " Katherine asked him.

" I trust you and you are different. Don't compare yourself with that bastard " He roared.

" Okay. Give me a minute. I will talk with Duke " Katherine said and walked near to Duke's bed.

" I can only save you from my husband if you tell us the truth about who was behind the wicked plan to drug me" Katherine inquired.

" Okay...Mrs. Wilson. I will tell the truth but please ask your husband to leave me. I will leave this city and will never interfere in your matters " he said in a shivering voice.

" Okay…" 

" I am all ears…" Adrian said in a serious tone.

" Mr. Green and Miss Jessica Richards," he said.

" How can we trust your words!! " Katherine asked him.

" One day I got a call from Mr. Green's secretary that he wanted to meet me. He asked me to give the information about you both to him every day. He offered me the money for giving the information to him. After you join the company, I used to give him the information. " he confessed.

" Then how do you know Jessica!! " Adrian questioned.

" I and Jessica usually hang out at clubs and parties. We have friends with benefits. One day, she told me that Mrs. Wilson insulted her in Miss. Green's office. She wanted to take revenge on Mrs. Wilson. Mr. Green wanted to humiliate Mrs. Wilson in front of all as Mr. Wilson refused to marry his daughter, Miss. Green. He doesn't know that you are husband and wife. He planned to send morning glories through a small boy in the event. But…." He stopped.

" But what…." Adrian asked.

" But morning glories don't affect the body of any person. So Jessica spiked the drink of Mrs. Wilson. She asked me to utilize the opportunity to enjoy a night with a beautiful woman who cannot oppose me in the drugged state. I too could not refuse the offer. She wanted to take revenge on her by shattering Mrs. Wilson's pride and respect " he spilled out all the truth.

Adrain fisted his palms after hearing the truth. He wanted to kill that bitch, Jessica. 

" I will kill her first...how dare her plot a wicked plan against my wife…" Adrian was shaking in anger.

Katherine was speechless after knowing the truth. She never imagined that any woman could steep so low to take revenge.

She noticed Adrian who was supposed to leave the room. She quickly held his hand and stopped him. She signaled him with her eyes to calm down, blinking her eyelids twice.

" I recorded all your statements on my mobile," She said making all shock.

" Do you know, what is the punishment to drug anyone!! " she asked Duke.

He gulped his throat in fear and looked at her with a scary face.

" Please...Don't give a complaint against me. I will never interfere in your lives and also never repeat these deeds " he begged.

" Okay….but one condition…" she said in a stern voice.

" Why don't we have one deal!!! '' she said.

" Are you mad!! Deal with this bastard!! " Adrian shouted.

" Ad… Will you be patient for some time!! " Katherine said and looked at Duke.

" What Deal!! " Duke asked hesitantly.

" My Deal... You should forget about your one-week punishment by my husband. And you should also join our company as usual. One more important point, you have to inform us of that bitch plan, " she said sternly.

" Okay then join the company after three days even though you have recovered or " she added.

" Yes...Mrs. Wilson. I will do as you say…" Duke agreed.

" Good...see you after three days…" Katherine said and walked out with Adrian.

" Why do you ask that bastard to join our company again!! " Adrian inquired.

" If we give keys to a thief then our wealth will be safe...Think smart… if he stays with us then only we get information from him " she said.

" I don't know why your brain sometimes says as if you are the daughter of a mafia's don…" Adrian said.

" What will you do if she is the mafia's daughter!! " Thomas asked him while walking towards them.

" Still I love her…" Adrian said.

" Thank you so much, Thomas. Today if you are not there to help me then the issue might become more complicated " Katherine said sincerely.

" Whatever may be the situation 

Adrian is my best friend. I too don't want him to face any problem, " Thomas said.

Then he continued, " If he hurt you again, he has to face my wrath," giving a sharp glare.

" I promise you that I will be very patient and will never be hurt by my words or my action," Adrian said sincerely.

" I will see…" Thomas said.

Just in time, the same nurse entered the cabin and informed Thomas that a patient was waiting for him.

" Okay...carry on. we leave now ", Adrian said.

" Kathie...take this medicine for three days and change your dressing of the wound tomorrow morning " Thomas gave her a strip of tablets.

" Yeah…" she nodded her head.

….

 Once they came out of Thomas's clinic, Adrian said " Keep this car at the company after you may leave " to the driver of the car in which Katherine brought Duke to the hospital.

" Yes...sir " he obeyed Adrian's order.

Once the driver left, Adrian opened the door of the car for his wife. Then he hopped in the driver's seat. 

" Buttercup...I am so sorry. Because of me, you are injured…" he said, feeling ashamed of his action.

" Your sorry is not accepted…" she replied curtly.

" Sorry...love…" he pleaded, holding her chin.

" I will tell what you have done to Aunt Maria. Then she will punish you…" she made him scared.

" Oh my god!! " he exclaimed and his eyes bulged out.
