Pedro had witnessed the warmth of loving parents, a privilege that Kathryn had unfortunately been denied.
“I don’t care,” Kathryn asserted resolutely. “I don’t care at all. Did my father ask you for money? He’s not actually broke—he just wants to check on my brothers’ situation. He must have warned them not to act against me, but they ignored him. Now, he’s waiting to see how everything unfolds.”
She was aware that her father knew about the assassination attempt.
He likely tried to dissuade her brothers, but when they refused to listen, he let events take their course, hoping their plan would succeed so they could inherit a fortune.
Kathryn sighed. “The will states that my brothers are responsible for his care. Since they have money, they won’t let him suffer. That’s better for him than anything I could provide. Still, I won’t allow my father to starve. I’ll give him enough for basic living expenses, in line with the standards of our hometown. If he falls ill, the medical bills will be shared equally among us. That’s all I owe him.”
“He asked me for a million dollars,” Pedro informed her. “He said he needed it for gambling. But he’s not even a gambling addict; he just enjoys a luxurious lifestyle—good food, relaxation, and hired help.”
Ever since Holden had undergone a castration, he could no longer pursue women. Instead, he spent money on comfort and indulgence.
“Ignore him,” Kathryn said, closing her eyes and yawning. “He’ll probably show up at the hospital later. I’m going back to sleep. The more I sleep, the sleepier I feel.”
Pedro adjusted her blanket. “Get some rest. You’ve been too exhausted lately.”
As he reached out to check her forehead, he frowned. “Your fever’s back. You can’t take your next dose for another half-hour, but you—”
“You should drink some warm water,” Pedro said. Kathryn placed a hand on her forehead; it was burning again. No wonder she felt so sluggish.
“Fine,” she murmured. “Get me some water. I’ll drink more and then go back to sleep after taking my medicine.”
Pedro quickly fetched a glass of warm water and handed it to her. As she drank, she suddenly coughed. Pedro gently patted her back. “Miss, slow down. You’re choking.”
Kathryn shook her head. “It’s not that. It’s the cold. I nearly froze to death in that storm. This fever isn’t my only problem—I’ll probably be dealing with this cough for a while.”
Pedro reassured her, “This is the best hospital in Jensburg with the best doctors. I’ll tell them about your cough so they can adjust your medication.” The doctor had prescribed just enough medicine for one day to treat her fever, planning to reassess her condition before providing further treatment.
Kathryn sighed. “Alright. Just let me sleep a little longer.”
Pedro sat by her side, determined to take care of her, no matter what.
