NovelOnline"Kate Lowe!" Eric's voice was filled with anger as he grabbed Kate's wrist. He looked at the bruised hand with a hint of hostility. His voice was low and menacing, and he asked, “Are you no longer caring about this hand of yours?" Kate looked at Eric with a hint of grievance. Her voice was soft as she said, “I don't want you to get hurt again." Eric's deep eyes were unfathomable, as if he wanted to devour Kate whole. Seeing the bruises on her hand, he felt even more irritated. He subconsciously clenched his fist and coldly ordered, "George, call the doctor." George was waiting at the door. He quickly responded and brought the doctor over. Kate obediently sat on the chair next to Eric's hospital bed. She extended her hand for the doctor to treat the injury on her hand. Meanwhile, Eric sat up. His laptop was placed on the table. He had a cold expression as he dealt with work matters. However, his attention was not on the computer but on Kate. Kate's gaze remained on Eric. She slowly moved down from his face until it landed on his hand resting on the laptop keyboard. Eric's hands were beautiful. He had slender and symmetrical fingers. His sleeves were slightly rolled up, and it revealed a strong forearm. It was hard for Kate to look away. When the doctor finished treating the injury on her hand and left, she didn't even realise it. “Have you seen enough?” His cold and slightly hoarse voice suddenly exploded in her ear. Kate instantly cback to her senses. She realised she had been staring at Eric just now. However, she smiled and looked at him. Kate said seriously, "Not enough; I can never get enough of looking at you." Her playful remarks rendered Eric speechless. His hand paused for a moment, and his gaze seemingly casually swept over Kate's face, then back to the computer screen. His lips tightened as he continued with his work, but there was a hint of suspicious redness on his ear, and the look in his eyes deepened. Today, Kate was different from before. She was so eager and straightforward in staring at him, showing kindness and care to him tand tagain. She used to be a pampered rich girl who would scream in pain at the slightest injury, but this time... Her hand was already bruised and swollen, but she seemed to feel nothing, still smiling and talking to him. She was like a little sun, warm and gently tugging at his heartstrings, making him subconsciously want to sink into it. However, he seemed to be awakened by past events, one after another. Eric lowered his eyes. His aura suddenly turned cold. A sense of oppression lingered around him, like an iceberg constantly emitting a chilling aura. Sensing the change in Eric's demeanour, Kate's smile faded slightly. Her fist was unconsciously clenched. She knew that Eric didn't trust her. After all, the past had hurt Eric too deeply. They had been married for three years, and she had never given up being mean to him. Every tthey met, she would do everything she could to provoke him, insisting on getting a divorce. And he just watched her coldly as she made a scene. If she broke something, he would have it replaced, and after she had vented enough, he would casually say, "Divorce? Don't even think about it." After that, he would walk away. She had made scenes countless times and was tired. She had even thought about running away with Simon, but she failed.
