Chapter 378
"Really?" Henry hesitated. He felt that he had done something wrong, but he didn’t know what and why. "You can tell me if you need anything. I’ll be there for you, alright?"
’I want you here. I want to be embraced by you after going through hellish days. I need you to be the source of my safety,’ those words were stuck in Kate’s throat. She couldn’t utter anything because she didn’t want to sound clingy and needy.
Ultimately, she only sighed and ended the call without saying goodbye.
Beep.

Kate lay on the bed after the dissatisfying phone call with her man. She stared at the ceiling and muttered, "Why did I suddenly turn into a spineless woman? I could’ve told him that I wanted him here. In this villa with me, so he can embrace me, even just for one night, it would be more than enough for me."
Kate put her palm on her chest and added, "Or maybe it’s because I want him to take initiative? I want him to continue asking about my condition and reassure me. He is not the only one who needs it, right?"
The more Kate thought about it, the worse she felt because she began to think that maybe Henry didn’t care about her as much as she thought.
Maybe he simply wanted to break free from his family, but he used Kate and their baby to get Kate’s approval and support.
"Ah, I think I’m getting too dramatic," Kate tried to stop the ridiculous thought about Henry. She knew he was working hard for them; that was all she needed.
She got up after some time and returned to Dahlia, who had just finished her tea. She smiled at Kate, "So, how was it? Do you feel better now? I bet your voice is enough to give him the strength to go through difficult projects."
