Chapter 28 Love Starts with Losing One's Mind

Chapter 28 Love Starts with Losing One's Mind

After Bennett left, Catalina hugged the quilt and curled up on the bed, with her ten pink toes huddled

together.

"What does it mean to never do it again?"

She muttered to herself, "Clearly, he misbehaved first."

"Mrs. Shaffer."

Just after Bennett left, Wendy pushed the door in. "What are you muttering alone? How are you now?

Are you feeling much better today?"

Wendy looked in a good mood, and even her voice was raised a lot.

"Well...I'm fine..." Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Catalina was a little embarrassed to look at Wendy. At some time, her cheeks slightly blushed, and she

looked like a shy teenage girl.

Wendy smiled ambiguously and jokingly said, "With Mr. Shaffer's personal care, it's hard for you not to

get better!"

"Care?"

Catalina was puzzled and retorted with a red face, "He occupied my bed all night for no reason. Is that

also called care?"

"How would it be for no reason? Yesterday, you personally invited Mr. Shaffer to bed."

"What?!"

Catalina's eyes widened in disbelief.

"How is that possible?" she thought.

Wendy noticed that something was wrong. "What's wrong? Mrs. Shaffer, did you forget everything

about last night?"

"...Should I remember something?"

Catalina had a premonition that what she had forgotten would not be a good thing.

"Seriously? Were you really confused because of the fever last night?"

Wendy approached and kindly reminded her, "Did you remember taking a bath last night? You kept

shouting cold even though you were bathing in the constant temperature water of 104 ℉! Later, Mr.

Shaffer could only warm you with his own body."

Catalina couldn't believe what she had heard.

Wendy said it in a casual tone.

However, Catalina was greatly shocked after hearing that.

She thought in disbelief, "Warming me up?

Using his dignified body?

What a joke!"

"And..."

Catalina was shocked again that something else had also happened.

"And what?" she asked.

"...And it was you who took the initiative to climb into Mr. Shaffer's arms. Mr. Shaffer wanted to throw

you on the bed, but you refused to let him go and kept crying..."

Catalina lost her words again.

Her face was flushed greatly, and she felt very embarrassed.

As reminded by Wendy, the shameful scenes of last night rushed out in her mind like a movie.

She finally remembered that she had been pestering Bennett and crying in his arms.

She couldn't help but curse in her heart, "Damn!

I must be really confused because of the fever!"

Catalina buried her blushing face in the quilt and wished she could disappear in an instant.

She felt that she had lost all her face overnight.

"Mrs. Shaffer, in fact, you don't have to be so shy. After all, you and Mr. Shaffer are husband and wife,

so there is nothing wrong with you doing so."

Catalina didn't speak.

She thought, "It does make sense.

But it was really embarrassing!

So, the inexplicable kiss in the dream last night was also true, right?"

Catalina suddenly had an illusion, as if her lips were still stained with Bennett's aroma.

The faint aroma of male hormones made her heart beat faster.

Her face suddenly reddened more.

Catalina patted her face heavily.

Meanwhile, she said to herself, "Catalina! Wake up! It's just an accident..."

...

Catalina's illness this time took her a week to get better.

And, this week, Bennett seemed to disappear.

Anyway, since the day he warmed her, Catalina had never seen him again, except for once.

That was three days ago.

Catalina passed the ancient bridge and was ready to go out to the hospital when she happened to

meet Bennett who came back from outside.

She was going to say hello to him in a casual way. However, Bennett totally ignored her and passed

her by. Without a pause for a moment, he went into Lake Compound with a cold face, completely

treating her as the air.

For a moment, Catalina's wooing words got stuck in her throat. After a few seconds, she swallowed

them back.

The atmosphere was really awkward.

Finally, Wendy came up to comfort her, "Mrs. Shaffer, don't be sad. Maybe Mr. Shaffer didn't see you at

all!"

"...Is he blind?"

After all, Catalina stood right in front of Bennett just now, so it was impossible that he didn't see her.

Catalina was sure that he just pretended not to see her.

"Forget it. Just ignore me! I don't care!"

Catalina comforted herself and brushed away the heavy sense of loss in her heart. She said to herself

in her heart, "It's good that he ignores me. After all, his warming me up that night was really

embarrassing. Therefore, it's good to pretend not to see each other.".

"Mrs. Shaffer, Mr. Shaffer seems to be angry with you. Do you think so?"

"Angry? How did I offend him again? As for that night, didn't he do that willingly at last?"

The more Catalina said, the more guilty she became. She then added with a blush, "Besides, even if

he was forced to do that, he's a man. He could not have suffered much from such a thing, could he?

Does he really have to be so stingy?"

Wendy was speechless and reminded Catalina, who was slow to respond, "It's definitely not about

what happened that night! Mr. Shaffer is angry about that ugly doll."

"What?"

"Mrs. Shaffer, think about it. If that ugly doll is really sewn by Mr. Shaffer for you..."

"Impossible!"

Catalina kept shaking her head. "Bennett would never do such a thing unless he lost his mind."

"But doesn't love start with losing one's mind?"

"... Love?"

Catalina looked at Wendy in horror. Then she chuckled and gently patted Wendy on the forehead. "I

think you've lost your mind. With such a good imagination, you should go write a romance novel!"

Wendy was speechless again.

"Well, after all, the onlooker sees the game best!" she thought.

...

One day, Catalina had just got off work. Suddenly, the mobile phone in her pocket rang.

The call was from her aunt.

"Lina, hurry to the hospital! Today, your crazy stepmother came to the hospital again to cause trouble,

and I don't know what nonsense she said to your grandmother. Your grandmother was so angry that

she was almost sent to the emergency room again. Fortunately, she's fine, but she's crying now! I

asked her what was wrong, but she didn't say a word to me. She only asked me to call you here. Come

and have a look!"

"OK, I will go there right away!"

Catalina hung up in worry. Not daring to delay for a moment, she grabbed her backpack and ran out.

A bad feeling suddenly rose in her heart.

She thought, "Elle wishes my grandmother to die every day, so she and her daughter can inherit the

property left by my mother in the name of my father.

So, presumably, she told Grandma that I broke up with Aaron!"

All the way, Catalina was thinking about the proper way to deal with her grandmother.

When Catalina arrived at the hospital, she saw her grandmother, Maggie Nash, lying in bed with an

oxygen tube inserted. She almost burst into tears.

"Grandma!"

Catalina stepped forward.

Her aunt, by the bedside, looked at Catalina as if she saw a savior. "You're finally here. Hurry up and

persuade your grandmother to stop worrying. It's not good for her health."

Catalina's uncle and aunt were honest people in the countryside. Although they were poor and could

not afford to pay for Maggie's treatment, they cared for her wholeheartedly and never showed any

disdain or reluctance.

"Grandma, what happened?"

Catalina looked at Maggie, who was breathing faintly, and her tears instantly trickled down her face.
