Chapter 503 You Seem to be Feeling Guilty
Actually, Kathy was feeling conflicted.
Of course, she wanted to visit Gerald.
But honestly, she felt a bit uncertain.
Moreover, Gerald's son was still there with him. Wouldn't it be awkward if she went?
Although Josephine had told her many times before that Ulysses supported Gerald finding a wife.
But no matter what, Ulysses was already a freshman in college, an eighteen or nineteen-year-old young man. Kathy felt that if she faced him, she would still feel awkward.
But on the other hand, if she didn't go, Kathy would be really worried.
After talking with Josephine, she thought about it and sent a message to Gerald.
Gerald was currently receiving an IV, and Ulysses wouldn't let him work or look at anything work-related on his phone.
He was supposed to watch videos, chat, and relax.
So when Kathy's message came through, he saw it immediately.
How did Kathy know he was sick?
Then he realized it must have been Josephine who told her.
She wanted to visit him.
Thinking about why he got sick, Gerald awkwardly touched his nose.
He considered himself upright and honest, never compromising despite others trying to tempt him with women over the years.
But he had felt something just by imagining Kathy's figure.
It was quite a strange thing.
To be honest, at this moment, Gerald felt somewhat repelled by Kathy.
Thinking of her inevitably reminded him of why he took cold showers.
It was really embarrassing.
But should he take this opportunity to clarify things?
To make Kathy give up and stop himself from having wild thoughts in the future.
He had always been busy with work and never had time to meet with Kathy.
Now that he was sick, it seemed like an opportunity.
He thought for a moment and replied: [Thank you.]
Kathy received the reply and couldn't believe her eyes.
She had asked if she could visit, thinking Gerald would refuse, but unexpectedly, he agreed!
Thinking about what Josephine had said, Kathy couldn't help but let her imagination run wild.
Could it be that Gerald really felt a little differently about her?
She stayed quiet for a few seconds, then hurriedly got up, changed clothes, bought some fruit and flowers, and went to the hospital.
At that moment, Gerald was telling Ulysses, "Go home and rest for a while, come back in the evening."
Ulysses was sitting on the sofa, "Rest for what? I'm not tired."
"Then go meet your classmates, didn't you have plans with them?"
Ulysses said, "You're sick, how can I think about hanging out with my classmates?"
Gerald said, "But you can't stay with me all the time. Your grandma also said to let the housekeeper stay here, you can come back in the evening."
"It's the first day, it's fine. If you need to go to the bathroom while still on the IV, the housekeeper won't be convenient."
"Enough," Gerald said directly, "There's a document in my bedroom at home, go get it for me."
"What document, Dad? I told you not to handle work."
"Just go get it, I need to sign it."
"I'll have the driver bring it over."
"Ulysses Clarence!"
Gerald called him by his full name, and Ulysses felt aggrieved, "Dad, I'm worried about you. I have nothing to do at home."
"I have something to do." Gerald rubbed his temples helplessly. "A friend of mine is coming to see me, it's inconvenient for you to be here, so please leave."
He had no choice, he couldn't get Ulysses to leave, so he had to tell the truth.
Ulysses was stunned for a moment, then got excited, "A friend? What friend? Dad, you seem guilty! Is it a woman? Is it the one with the online name 'Lollipop'?"
Gerald frowned at him, "How do you know about 'Lollipop'?"
Ulysses' heart skipped a beat. "I, I saw it on your phone by accident."
Gerald thought about hitting him, "You!"
"I didn't mean to! And I didn't read your chat, I just saw the name!"
Ulysses grabbed his backpack. "Alright, I won't bother you, I'm leaving!"
He ran to the door, then turned back, "Dad, good luck! New year, new beginnings, find me a stepmother!"
Gerald was so angry he wanted to throw the cup on the bedside table at him, "Get out!"
"Oh, don't be shy." Ulysses cheered him on, "Dad, you won't get a girlfriend like this! You need to be proactive and enthusiastic, got it?"
Seeing Gerald really about to throw something at him, Ulysses got scared and tried to close the door.
Gerald added, "Don't tell your grandma about this!"
Ulysses opened the door a crack. "Dad, if you want me to keep a secret, you have to give me something in return."
"What do you want?"
"Well... Dad, buy me a DSLR camera!"
Gerald said, "Use your own allowance to buy it!"
"I'm saving that for something else!"
"My money isn't for nothing, you know?"
"If you don't buy it for me, I'll tell Grandma!"
Gerald said, "Then go ahead."
"Are you really my dad? What's wrong with me wanting a DSLR? It's not like we can't afford it!"
"Yes, we can afford it, but you haven't earned any money yet. Can you afford it? Talk to me when you have the ability!"
Ulysses had heard from Josephine that Stuart started earning money at a very young age.
Jeffery too.
The money he invested had multiplied many times over by now.
But Ulysses wasn't interested in that.
If he had Jeffery's skills, he wouldn't need to work part-time.
Because the Clarence Family, although they loved him dearly, wouldn't spoil him unconditionally.
They raised him like an ordinary kid.
So even now, many of Ulysses' classmates, both from childhood and college, didn't know what his family was like.
Leaving the ward, Ulysses pondered in the hallway whether he should leave.
He wanted to stay and see who the woman was that changed his dad.
Maybe she would be his stepmother in the future, so it wouldn't be too much to take a look.
So, Ulysses put on his hoodie.
His hoodie had a big hood, and he wore a mask, sitting on the bench in the hospital hallway. People who didn't know him wouldn't recognize him.
He waited for about half an hour and saw a woman walking over.
The woman looked to be in her twenties, wearing a simple gray tracksuit.
Looking at her face, it was clean and fresh, making people feel comfortable.
Ulysses immediately felt a good impression, thinking this woman was quite suitable for his dad.
But she seemed much younger than his dad.
Watching the woman enter the ward, Ulysses finally left.
Kathy knocked on the door, heard a voice inside, and then pushed the door open.
And then she saw Gerald.
