Beloved Wife Of The God Of War novel Chapter 18

"Katherine, what happened to you? Are you fine?" He asked, he already had a plan of calling a medical officer to meet him at home so that Katherine can be treated.

"Just stay with me," she pulled him closer again, as attractive as she seems, Derick knew he would eventually regret what she's insinuating for them to do so she took her hands off his body forcefully and closed the door.

His breathing became a little erratic expecially when her bold and beautiful face appeared in his mind. If he didn't have self control, he would have already locked his lips in hers and kiss her passionately. But that woman seems to be drunk... Perhaps, she drank too much and lost consciousness.

Derick got to the driver's sit at once and sped home. Once he parked the car, he got down and carried Katherine outside of the car then went to place her in her room. Katherine's eyes remained shut but she doesn't look calm.

Derick then placed a call ordering for an high ranking medical officer to come over immediately. While waiting, he received a call from Alessio and he answered, "Marshall, we were able to save Donna before the man have his way with her and we have stopped the live recording. The man who is trying to force her way to her is a civilian. He must have sneaked his way inside the base, what judgement should we place on him."

"Shoot him dead immediately." He said but an idea popped on his mind so he changed his mind, "no, keep him in prison and find out his identity."

"Got it, sir." The call then came to an end.

Derick doesn't give offenders chance to live for even one second. Once you are wrong, you die. But for this man who has his eyes on his fiancee, he wants to know whom the person is before passing judgement on him.

Then his eyes fell on Katherine who was laying on the bed, her face had become pale and softened. Derick wondered why she was holding onto him the other time.

Soon, there was a knock on the door and Derick ordered for the person to walk in at once. The male medical officer immediately examined Katherine and said to Derick, "she was drugged, sir. There are harmful substances in her blood."

Drugged? Derick wondered who could have drugged her. "Treat her quickly."

The medical officer got to work at once while Derick remained standing. He didn't see any need to sit. After two hours had passed. It was already 2AM, midnight. "She just needs some time to rest and she will be fine."

"Okay." Derick said and the medical officer walked out at once. Derick was used to standing expecially when he's troubled. He's not like an ordinary civilian who sit or lay when in anxiety, as for him, he stands. During war, there are times he would neither sit nor lay for three days straight. He's either running, walking or standing.

He stood right before her bed, watching her and hoping for her to get better. He was doing this because of his mother. He was still yet to know why his mother wanted him to marry her but he knows that his mother would reveal the reason someday in the future.

When it was 5:10AM, Katherine's eyes fluttered opened. Took a while before her eyes adjusted to the light that shone moderately in the room. When her eyes caught sight of a broad man before him, she quickly put on a defense but she soon realized that this man was Derick. So she let her guard down and sighed.

"Katherine, how do you feel?" He changed his standing position and asked.

Katherine held her forehead as a slight pain permeated through her head," feeling better."

"The doctor said you were drugged. Did you drug yourself or did someone else did?" Derick asked.

Katherine was still trying to process everything that happened to her, after a few minutes of recollecting all that happened before she lost consciousness, a feeling of anxiety crept inside her, that bastard-Richard dared to infiltrate the military camp just to forcefully have sex with her? He even drugged her. He was definitely not scared of his life.

"I think I was drugged." She responded. "Can you sit?" She was not comfortable with Derick who had been standing gallantly since she was awake. If only she knew that he had been waiting on her for more than three hours.

"I need to know you are fine," he said.

Huh? Why? Does he care? As far Katherine was concerned, this man before her doesn't care for her a bit. And that may be true, Derick was only acting this way cause he didn't want to offend his mother.
