Chapter 17 Maria Helen

“She is a servant Mr. Walker arranged to take care of you. Her name is Maria Helen. When you

recover, she will move into the apartment with you. Mr. Walker told me to warn you not to

misunderstand him. He just wanted to have someone to keep an eye on you so you won’t cause more

trouble for him.”

Upon hearing that, Catherine quietly looked at Luca only to find that his expression was calm and that

he was speaking indifferently.

“Then, please tell him that I will never think that he’s concerned about me because I know my place.”

Just then, Maria frowned slightly because she didn’t understand why Mr. Walker would say such

a cruel something to this woman. Perhaps rich people were just that hard to understand. Since it wasn’t

easy for her to find such a high-paying job, she should probably keep her mouth shut.

“It’s good that you know!” Luca replied coldly. At that moment, he sounded exactly like Ryan.

For the next two weeks, Luca and Maria took care of Catherine at the hospital. Because she had had a

fever for quite a long time, she had severe pneumonia. In fact, the doctor said that she would probably

have died if they had sent her to hospital later.

Thinking that she probably suffered enough punishment, Catherine decided to live from now on for her

parents.

Meanwhile, Maria was conscientious, She was also quick and efficient in her work. The food she made

was delicious.

Every day, Catherine would force herself to eat. more. After two weeks, she recovered and returned to

the apartment. Completing his task, Luca no longer stayed by her side.

At that moment, she thought that he had gone to Areza since he rarely left Ryan’s side.

After returning to the apartment, she charged her cellphone and realized there were a lot of missed

calls, and they were all from her parents.

Noticing the unread messages in the inbox, Catherine opened them up, only to find that they were all

from Jasmine. She sent the pictures of her and Ryan.

In addition to Areza, they went to other places as well. It was probably a very interesting journey.

After staring at their photos for a while, she suddenly realized that she got his photos!

Thinking of this, Catherine got up and washed up before calling Kevin to arrange a meeting with him.

“Where are you going, Miss Green? You haven’t recovered yet. You need to have more rest here,” NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

Maria advised.

“I’ve been bored to death, Maria. If Ryan or Luca

asks you where I go, tell them I went home. My : mom is worried about me.”

“Okay, then when will you be back?”

“I’ll come back after having dinner at her place. You’ve spent quite some time taking care of me too.

Why don’t you go home and visit your family?” Knowing that Maria was sent to monitor her too,

Catherine felt uneasy, so she wanted to get out of there and get some air.

“I can’t go back. They will dock my salary,” Maria

replied softly.

“I will talk to Ryan for you. You can go back.”

“No. Please don’t. I don’t want to get fired.”

“Fine. When he comes back, I will persuade him to give you some time off.” Since Catherine couldn’t

be sure what Ryan would do, she didn’t want her insistence to cause Maria to lose her job.

Once she was outside, she called her mother just to let her know her condition. Since Luca wouldn’t

follow her, she would definitely be interrogated by her parents if she went home, she had no choice but

not to go home.

After agreeing on a place to meet, she went to see Kevin and handed him the picture of Jasmine and

Ryan.

“Was he the man who called me Cath on the day of

the accident, Kevin?”

After asking that question, Catherine was extremely nervous as she held her breath while staring into

Kevin’s eyes.

“No!” he answered firmly after taking a second look.

“It can’t be. Take a closer look!”

“I was right. It’s definitely not him! That man wasn’t as handsome as him. Also, he had larger eyes and

a fine face,” Kevin recalled.

Trying to imagine the man Kevin was describing, Catherine realized that she couldn’t recall the man.

What was more, the person wasn’t the key point. Most importantly, she wanted to know what happened

between her and Ryan.

“Do you remember where exactly you ran into me near the Southside Villas, Kevin? Are there a large

patch of grass nearby? a hillside with a large patch of grass?”
