"Chapter 12" His irresistible longing

All her reports, huh! he smirked and walked into the room; he sat beside her bed and took her hand in his hand.

He was saying nothing but Ambrose's words were repeating in his mind.

He felt an extreme rage at being vulnerable; this is all because Ambrose has power. If he is claiming that he will end her engagement, then he means it because he is a man of his word.

Ambrose meets her for the very first time and falls in love with her, but Henry stalks her every movement even when Ambrose is oblivious to her living.

Katherine was coming to her senses and slowly moving her eyes but not opening them.

This can't be; why always take everything from me, Henry out, and Katherine opened her eyes.

What...... What do you mean? She lets out while squeezing her eyes and Henry gets up in horror.

Katherine are you....okay? He asked and let go of her hand.

Ahan..... she replied and placed her hand on her head.

Did you remember anything? Henry asked.

No...., she let out a pace..

Thank goodness I was on time, Henry let out, which made her frown.

What? She was suspicious.

You were with him, Henry's eyes went wide.

Whom? she asked.

With Ambrose, and I bet he was going to do something shameful again, he makes her disgusted.

you should watch yourself, he said and Katherine was taking it so far.

Suddenly, she climbed off the bed and watched her body, then her clothes. Everything was in place, and a playful smirk took place over Henry's lips.

I should check, she let out and Henry stopped her.

Nothing went that way; I was on time; he couldn't touch you in front of me, he said, and she gasped.

Everything is alright, he holds her hand and makes her sit on the bed.

You should wait here; let me check your progress, Henry said, and while leaving,g, a nurse entered the room.

Please take care of her, Henry said and left and the nurse walked towards Katherine. She looked kind and generous, her skin was brown, and her hair was black curly, she was not too tall but medium height, and her body was a bit obese, she had big brown eyes and a wide short nose, her lips were plumped and beautiful, and she was wearing a blue uniform.

That man was so kind and truly in love with you, She said and Katherine replied with a smile.

He is not in love with me; he is just a good friend. Katherine was assuming about Henry, but then that nurse corrected her.

No, not that one, I am talking about your husband, that man. who was here before him; I have heard that he is a great and filthy rich billionaire, Katherine went, shocked.

And truly, my dear, he was not going to make a raw deal with your matter; he was immediately in love with you. The nurse let out, and Katherine knew whom she was talking about.

Who took me here? Katherine asked.

Mr. Arnold, that famous businessman, the nurse replied.

Oh, she was confused.

Trust me darling he wanted everything all the most, perfect and immaculate, She said.

But he is not my husband, Katherine said.

Oh......., that's a shock, she was flabbergasted.

But he was making everything so fine for you, I was suspecting it because he was not daring to touch you, The nurse said, and Katherine got to know how wrong Henry was.

I.... I am so sorry, the doctor said, and he didn't refuse; I think he has something in his heart, she said.

Oh, no, no, no....no......, she let out.

Eventually, I am happily engaged, she said.

That's great, and he is not that guy; the nurse looked embarrassed.

He doesn't act as if he looks like a wolfman in the clothes of sheep, Katherine said.

Maybe you are wrong, the nurse said with a frown.

You don't know anything about him; he just knows how to have a way with every single girl on this planet; Katherine was rough.

But I defy, if he wanted to do anything, he would, because you were looking like a sleeping beauty, and if any other man sees you in this condition,n, trust, me, child, you would not be this calm, the nurse s, aid, and she was stunned.

He is just acting, and Katherine confronts him.

His acts were not supporting your statement; maybe you should try to know people; maybe he was bad, but now he is good, The nurse said, and after taking out her cannulation, she left.

Katherine was deep in her thoughts and thinking about Ambrose.

Why did you do this for me? she asked herself.

Hey, we are good to go, Henry comes in with a brilliant smile.

I think you are not afraid of going with me, Henry asks.

I..... I was at home, and I don't know what mom will think, Katherine said.

Don't worry, this is not the big deal, but your health is, Henry said.

What...what happened to my health? she asked.

Maybe you should stop donating your blood, Henry let out the fact, and she was shocked by hearing this.

How do you know that? she asked.

What? I just guessed, is it true? Henry asks, and she nods.

Katherine donates her blood to those children in her special orphanage, because she has the rarest blood type AB negative.

In my orphanage I donate my blood to children with thalassemia, she lets out.

Oh, what is it? he asked.

It's a disease; let it go, she lets out with a sad gesture, and Henry predicts it.

What makes you sad? he asked, she hesitated to tell but then he won her trust.

You can tell me, I am your friend; I will never make fun of your feelings or your concerns; I will understand, he let out, and she let out a soft smile.

There was a child named Mathew who died because he couldn't cope with the pain associated with his condition, and I was not able to do anything; her eyes went watery.

Katherine, no, please, he takes hold of her arm.

He said he wanted to live, she let out in pain and wrapped her arms around Henry.

Suddenly, a spark lit up in Henry's heart; he was startled and not in a condition to elaborate on something.

Hey.... hey, he brushed her hair and gently tapped her shoulder.

Everything will be fine, Katherine said while a relaxed smile embellished his lips.

Don't cry; I know he is in a good place, and while seeing you crying like this, his heart will break, Henry said, and Katherine cleaned her eyes.

Are you serious? she asked and he nodded.

You need to relax, he said, and they walked to the car. He opened the car door for her, and she took the seat.

Before getting in the car Henry peeks at his arms and smiles.

Unintentionally she was awakening his irresistible longing that was even disastrous for herself.
