CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times novel Chapter 71

It took a while for the room service to bring a bowl of porridge over to their room.

Marshall specially requested that the porridge be cooked until creamy and softer in texture.

He placed the porridge on the table and let it cool first.

After that, he walked up to Katherine and fed her some warm water.

The sick Katherine was gentle and not prickly at all. It seemed that she was also quite obedient.

After feeding her water, Marshall asked Katherine whether her stomach felt better.

Katherine slowly acknowledged his words, but with her eyes closed.

He didn’t know whether she felt better or was she just giving him a perfunctory answer.

Marshall brought the porridge over asked Katherine to leaned against the headboard of the bed. He blew on the porridge and fed her slowly.

Katherine was hungry for sure. Although she was still drowsy, she soon finished eating a bowl of porridge one mouthful after another.

Marshall took a napkin and gently wiped her mouth.

While squinting her eyes, Katherine looked at Marshall and chuckled, “I never dared to imagine that you will be so generous to me one day.”

Marshall stopped his actions in an instant.

Katherine slid down, lied on the bed, and covered herself with the blanket.

She slightly squirmed, found a comfortable position, and fell asleep.

Marshall sat at her bedside and looked at her for a long time. He then tidied up everything and took them out of the room.

After dealing with all these matters, he was tired. Marshall could not fall asleep while lying on the sofa since he was not sleepy.

Marshall lied down, pillowed his hands under his head, and stared at the dark ceiling.

“With Katherine’s current body condition, we definitely cannot go sightseeing tomorrow.”

But it might not be such a bad thing since Marshall didn’t have any places that he would like to see.

There was something amiss with their whole trip this time.

His enthusiasm had completely disappeared.

Marshall was lying on the sofa having all kinds of thoughts. He then closed his eyes and forced himself to sleep.

Katherine didn’t toss and turn for the whole night. She woke up late in the morning.

Marshall had a biological clock. Even when he slept late, he would still wake up at the same time the next day.

After he got up, he hurried to Katherine’s bedside.

Katherine was still asleep, she had not turned over for the whole night and was in the same position as before.

Marshall got nervous, Katherine didn’t move the whole night. Is it possible that she is dead?

He hurried to her bedside and checked whether she was breathing.

Thank goodness. She was still alive.

Marshall laughed at himself and touched Katherine’s forehead.

Her fever had gone down. The temperature was not that scary compared to yesterday.

Marshall patted Katherine on the shoulder, “Katherine, are you awake?”

After a long time, Katherine opened her eyes.

Her vision was blurry.

She made an audible nasal sound, “Hmm?”

Marshall’s body stiffened. He felt ashamed of himself.

He felt that it was quite extraordinary that he could still erect at this critical moment.

Marshall was not that sexually aroused before.

His response was quite an anomaly.

Marshall took a deep breath and backed away from the bed, “Since you are awake, you should get up and move your limbs. I see that your fever has gone down. We will go downstairs and have a meal later.”

After a long time, Katherine finally responded. After that, she slowly got up and unsteadily walked into the bathroom.

All of her movements were slower than usual.

Marshall also hadn’t washed up. After giving it some thought, he walked into the bathroom and stood beside Katherine.

The mirror that was in front of the bathroom sink was big. Two people could stand in front of it.

When he stood beside Katherine and started brushing his teeth, Marshall soon regretted his actions.

Even before they had gotten divorced, they never got up in the morning and washed up together.

The current situation made him feel very awkward.

Katherine didn’t seem to feel awkward at all. She only stared at her reflection in the mirror.

She brushed her teeth in slow motion and was still in a daze.

Marshall had already finished washing his face, but Katherine had just begun.

Marshall went out. After giving it some thought, he took out all Katherine’s medicine.

There were just too many medications. After consideration, Marshall thought these two medicines should not be taken mix together.

So, he put the stomach medicine back.

After he had made the bed, Katherine came out of the bathroom.

She looked all tidied up.

Marshall stood up, “Let’s go. Call up Peter and let’s get breakfast.”

Katherine didn’t say anything and followed behind Marshall.

She was so quiet all of a sudden. Inexplicably, Marshall was not used to it.
