Mommy…Can You Win Daddy’s Love Again? - Chapter 259

Adrian was so anxious when Katherine fainted in the car while she was sitting beside him.

As soon as the car stopped, Joseph informed Adrian to carry Katherine out of the car and also made a call to the family doctor. Adrian carried her in a bridal style and stepped inside the Mansion. But Adrian doesn’t know where the bedroom is. He was looking around the Mansion as it was his first time visiting.

Meanwhile, one old woman who was the senior housemaid ran hurriedly towards them.

” Sir….please take her to the left side of the second room on the first floor. It is Madam’s bedroom. I arranged the room…” she informed Adrian.

Adrian carried her through the stairways and placed her on the bed carefully. He covered her with a sheet and turned back. He saw the dark grey colored wall where many laminated photos were hung. The photos belong to Katherine right from her childhood to her college days. A few photos are with her father and Martin. He turned around to observe her room. Then he found a laminated photo on the right side of her bed. It was the laminated photo of him and her at her college time in which she was smiling brightly when he was kissing her cheeks. She was looking so beautiful in that photo especially when her silky hair was flying in the air. He placed his palm on it and moved gently on her face.

Then he turned his head towards her, who was lying on the bed. His eyes become wet on seeing her face. He quickly went to her and took her hands into his then gently caressed her knuckles. Just then, her eyelids started fluttering. He called her name twice but she was mumbling her father in an unconscious state.

A few seconds later, her breath became normal, and again went to sleep. He sighed. And he started thinking,” It’s more difficult to handle than what I thought before…”

Once she was lying calm on the bed, he stood up near the side table with drawers. He opened the first drawer and found dust covering everything in it. He thought the maids didn’t clean inside the drawer. When he was going to close the drawer, his eyes caught attention on one box. Instantly he took it into his hand even though it was covered with dust and opened it eagerly. He found heart-shaped earrings which he gifted her after confessing his love. He also found a paper note with his handwriting, ” To my loving buttercup…”

He heard a knock on the door and turned his head while keeping the box in his suit pocket. He noticed the head housemaid along with another maid.

” Master… Do you need anything! ” the head housemaid asked, bowing her head.

” Water…” Adrian replied,

The head maid nodded her head and stared at the opened side table.

” Do you open the side table drawer? ” the head maid asked another maid standing in front of Adrian. Then she continued, ” I instructed all the maids to not touch the side table. Madam doesn’t like if anyone touches it…”

” No one opened it as per your instructions…” the maid replied in a calm tone.

” What will happen if anyone touches it? ” Adrian asked curiously.

” Master…. That …Madam never allowed anyone to touch it. She used to keep every special thing inside it. Like her father’s gifts, her favorite accessories… ” the head maid answered.

” How many years…you have been working here?” He inquired.

” It has been almost thirty-five years…” she replied.

” I heard that all maids were also killed along with Mr. Davis on that day then how could you escape! ” He questioned her.

” Master…I took leave for one week for my daughter’s marriage before that incident. When I came back to rejoin in my work, Mr. Davis was killed, and Miss. Davis left the mansion” she explained.

Adrian nodded his head.” I need only two maids and one cook in this Mansion. Not more than that…” he said in a strict tone. He doesn’t want to risk Katherine’s life trusting many people to stay in the Mansion.

” Yes…Master…” she replied, bowing her head. Once they left the room, Adrian started exploring every corner of the room.

” She left all the luxurious life for me and my son. All these years, she worked hard to run the home leaving all these comforts! ” He felt after observing the interiors and amenities in the mansion.

….

Slowly she opened her eyes and observed the surroundings. Then she sat up on the bed with a jerk. Her forehead was sweating badly with fear. She remembered the tragic incidents that happened in the room. Her body was shivering thinking about Grayson. Then she found Adrian standing at the window.

She ran towards him and hugged him from behind. He twirled towards her and noticed her state.

” Kathie…” saying her name, he placed his hands around her. “Kathie….Are you alright! ” he asked her.

” Ad… let’s leave this place. I can’t even breathe. I am feeling so scared…” she pleaded and her body was shaking in fear. Adrian gently rubbed her back to make them calm.

” Kathie…calm down. No need to worry. We have security guards around the Mansion. No one can harm us…” he explained.

” What if Grayson kills us? What about our Sam? ” She questioned him, placing her head on his chest. She fisted his suit tightly.

” Don’t think about that bastard. It’s not good for your health…” he said, stroking her soft hair.

” He killed Aunt Lisa and my dad in front of my eyes. I can’t even imagine if anything happens to you…” she cried.

“Fear is the weakness to face the problems. First, leave the fear in your heart” he suggested.

” I can forgive myself if he hurts you because of me. Already I am feeling guilty for the death of Aunt Lisa and my father…” she said in a cracked voice.

” Shall I divorce you and go away from you! Tell me! ” He questioned her breaking the hug.
