Chapter 234 - Martin Left...

" I am sure because he is Steven Brown, your stepbrother…" she said, lowering her head. Martin looked furiously at Steven then looked at Kathie with hurt. 

" I never thought you would hide a serious matter from him that too about that family which I hate the most…" Martin said sadly.

" I….I...am...sorry...Martin….please…. forgive me " she responded to his words. She knew it could hurt him deeply.

" Why Kathie? Because he helped your husband in business? Or he was helping you in Grayson's matter? Why? " he yelled at her.

" I never expect this from you. How could you change into so selfish? " Martin questioned her.

" Martin… before you speak, think once…." Adrian interrupted.

" You better stay away from this matter, Mr. Wilson. It is between Kathie and me…." Martin said, glaring at him.

" Let me explain…" Kathie held his hands.

" I don't. You already choose him over our friendship. There is nothing for me to hear…." He said, fuming in anger. "I think there is no use of me now. You have your beloved husband and a new rich friend. ' saying he looked at Steven.

" Martin….please listen to me at least" Steven pleaded to him and moved closer to him. He moved back and gestured with his hand to not come closer to him.

" Goodbye, Kathie…. " he turned away and started walking away from the elevator. He pressed the button and waited for it.

" Martin….please...don't go. I am so sorry…." Saying she ran after Martin to stop. He turned towards her and said, " We are done. Don't try to meet me again in my life. Let me live peacefully…" She remained shocked with his last sentence. 

" Did I hurt him that much? " she thought looking at his face and tears was rolling down from her eyes.

" Martin….please stay…." Adrian asked who came after her.

" You knew the present situation. We are already feeling bad about Sam's condition. If you leave now, Kathie will be more upset. Better if we talk later about this matter" Adrian reasoned.

But Martin ignored his words. Just then the door of the elevator opened, he entered inside and pressed the button. The door of the elevator closed on their faces.

" Ad….please stop him…" she cried, hugging him whereas Steven was watching with a broken heart. He wanted to get his brother but he failed. He never expected that he would leave his Friends.

After a few minutes, Adrian brought her back to the incentive ward. He made her sit on the bench and wiped her tears.

" I can't take his hatred …" she said, pressing her face on his stomach.

" Love...don't feel sad. He is angry at you for hiding about Steven. I can assure you that Martin will be back once he calms down .." Adrian convinced her.

" Will he come back? " Katherine asked him just like a small kid. " Hmmm…" he nodded his head.

" I am so sorry. It all happened because of me…" Steven apologized with a dull face. Katherine glared at him and shouted, " I already expected that's why I wanted to stay away from you. But you..."

Adrian stopped her, holding her wrist. " Kathie ….control yourself. Steven is not bad. He came here for all of you. His intentions are good. And also remember, he is the one who was trying to protect us from Grayson "

" It's hurrying here ...Ad " she pointed her finger on the left side of her chest. Adrian pitied her state and said, " I can understand your pain. I too felt the same when Thomas ignored me. But see now, again we are together…"

She looked at him and nodded her head, understanding his point. " What if Grayson tries to harm Martin? " She asked all of a sudden.

" Even though he is my stepbrother. I like him as my own. So don't worry about his security. I arranged the security for him to guard him, " Steven said.

" Thank you, " Katherine said.

" Let's think about Sam. He is our priority. We should think about his health," Adrian said, sitting beside Katherine.

" You are right. We should think about him…" She too agreed and then went to check on her son who was lying on the bed. Once she went into the incentive unit, Adrian said, " Better to shift this afternoon…" 

" Okay. I will talk with the doctor and will take care of the arrangements…." Steven told him. But Adrian was worried about his company as recently there was a bomb blast. He doesn't understand whom to contact. Suddenly he remembered about Duke. He made a call to Duke and informed him that he will be going to another country for a few months and asked to take care of the company. He instructed strictly to contact him through mails not to his mobile even if it is an emergency. 

On hearing Adrian's words, Duke was startled. Then he questioned, " Is the news about your son, Sam true? "

" Yes. Take care of the company works…" saying he ended the call. He thought about switching off his mobile before they boarded the private jet.

At Green's Mansion

There was complete silence in the mansion. Mr. Green was sitting in his study reminiscing the words of his daughter. He sat alone sipping whisky. It had been three weeks, he talked with Emily. She left the mansion with a fake reason as she had to take care of a new branch. 

He never imagined that his daughter would hate her. Whatever he did till the date, it was for her happiness. But he never expected that Emily loved someone else but not Adrian. He realized that whatever Adrian told him on the day of the meetings was true. 

His chain of thoughts was interrupted when his mobile rang. He looked at the caller ID and stared at the display name. She was none other than Jessica. He talked with her two weeks back.. He was not in a mood to talk with her as he was upset because of Emily as she stopped talking with him.
