Chapter 423 Don't Ever Hide Anything from Me

Katherine slowly got off the bed without thinking. Maybe she was still dizzy so she staggered. Marshall rushed over in an astonishing speed and quickly helped her, "Watch out."

Katherine was amazed by his movements, and she smiled, "You have reacted quickly."

Marshall just nodded, looking at her with worry, "Are you going to the bathroom?"

Katherine nodded, "Yeah, to wash up."

Marshall helped her to the bathroom and kept an eye out for her. When Katherine turned her head, seeing Marshall staring at her, she was shocked, "What's wrong?"

Marshall pursed his lips, and said after a long while, "Nothing."

He came over to help Katherine out of the bathroom and to the bed. Then he asked, "Are you hungry? I'll get you something."

Katherine nodded and said thank you. Marshall said nothing and went downstairs. Katherine frowned staring at Marshall's back, she could tell that there was something wrong with him. He would definitely reply “Never mind” if she said thank you at other times. But he acted like he has heard nothing just now.

Kyle had already left. Marshall brought the food and put them on the bedside table. Then he sat aside and said nothing. Katherine took a few bites, secretly glancing at Marshall, feeling unsettled. He stared at her seriously when she ate, which was a bit creepy. Katherine thought that could it be that Frances had told Marshall? But she changed her mind. If Frances really said something and Marshall knew about her pregnancy, he would not be like this.

Katherine held back her uncertainty in her mind and finished the dinner, Marshall came over and cleared the table. Then he looked at her, "Would you like to go for a walk in the community? You have

slept for a long time, so it's time to get up and do some exercise."

It was already dark outside, but Katherine had a pain in the back for lying on the bed for too long. It should be safe in the community so she agreed. Marshall helped her downstairs, and they walked along the road next to the house. He said nothing, and there was a strained atmosphere between them.

Katherine couldn't bear the silence, "Marshall, I will be alright alone at night. I just need to lock the doors and windows. You don't need to..."

She said this to drive him away. Marshall looked at her and said, "Katherine, are you hiding something from me?"

Katherine was shocked by his words and her heart was beating fast. She turned to look at him, "Hiding something? What can I hide from you? I didn't. How could I? It’s not possible."

She was incoherent when she was anxious. Marshall reached out and held her hand, "Well, it's the best if you hide nothing from me."

Katherine licked her lips, feeling troubled. She did not believe that Marshall had no clue. What he just said was obviously a hint to her. Neither of them spoke for the rest of the walk.

Seeing that it was about time, Marshall helped Katherine home, she went to wash her face and went to bed. Marshall stood at the door looking at her until she closed her eyes, then he turned off the light and closed the door. When he left, Katherine opened her eyes. There was something wrong with Marshall. It was so obvious that she could not ignore it.

Marshall didn't go back to his room, he went downstairs and stood in front of the window in the living room. In fact, he didn't know what he wanted, he was disturbed, for the reason that he was really expecting something but he was afraid that it was just his wishful thinking. He was wide awake so he

grabbed a beer that Kyle bought tonight, Kyle said they should celebrate and have fun tonight but Katherine went to rest so the party was canceled. Marshall went to sit on the sofa, opened the can, drinking it in silence.

Katherine got up to urinate in the middle of the night. Then she lied awake and walked out of her room. She saw lights downstairs and walked towards the staircase slowly, looking down fearlessly.

Marshall was leaning on the sofa with several empty cans on the table. Katherine was stunned and then went downstairs. Marshall was obviously drunk; he did not respond until Katherine pushed him. He looked at Katherine with red eyes, then he seized her hands, "Katherine."

Katherine nodded, "Are you drunk?"

"No." Marshall smiled, "Not enough. I am good at holding my liquor."

Katherine sighed, "Why are you drinking alone? Having trouble falling asleep?"

Marshall said yes, "I can't sleep, I really can't. Katherine, can you tell me are you hiding something from me?"

Katherine pursed her lips, "You are with me all the time and you know almost everything that happened to me, how can I hide anything from you?"

Marshall said nothing. He held her hand and rubbed the back of her hand with his forehead, "Katherine, let's go to the hospital tomorrow."

Katherine was startled, "What for?"

Marshall said in a low voice, "You had stomachache so frequently these days. I am really worried about your health. Let's go to the hospital for a check."

Katherine pursed her lips, and said after a while, "I don’t want to. I know myself and I know how to take care of myself. It’s nothing serious."

Marshall sighed and said in a firm tone, "Let’s go to the hospital."

Katherine was a little flustered, not sure if Marshall was sounding her out or really worried about her well-being. Marshall did not get an answer and looked up at her, "My grandmother also told me to take you the hospital to have a full check. You will suffer when you are older if you don’t take the signals your body sent seriously. " Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

He drew Katherine closer and she sat beside him. Marshall turned around. He lied about not being drunk because he smelled of alcohol. He then put Katherine in his arms, "Katherine, I'm scared."

Katherine didn't know what he was afraid of, anyway, she was frightened now. Marshall closed his eyes, "Don't ever hide anything from me. Promise that you will be honest with me."

Katherine bit her lips, and said okay after a long while. Marshall gently patted her on the back, and then said nothing. He was indeed drunk, as soon as he stood up, he could not keep his balance.

Katherine had no choice but to help him upstairs. But he refused to go back to his room and went to her room shamelessly. Katherine frowned watching him staggering into her room and throwing himself on the bed, "Marshall, you must do this on purpose."
