He Stole Me From My Deadbeat Husband-Chapter 465

"He is in good condition but still needs plenty of rest," the doctor said after examining Henry. "Let him stay in the hospital for a few more days so we can observe his condition, then he can get discharged after that."

"Thank you, Doctor."

As the Doctor left, Henry kept on staring at the door. He hoped that Kate would storm in while carrying Theo. He couldn’t wait to embrace his beloved.

Unfortunately, his wish never came true. The door remained shut, and he was stuck in the hospital bed with his mother sitting next to the bed.

"Where is she, Mom?" Henry asked.

Dahlia sighed.

She picked up Henry’s phone, which she had fully charged. She already expected Kate to send a similar voice message to Henry since he was the reason for her departure.

"Take a deep breath, son, calm yourself first, and then unlock your phone. There is a voice note from Kate," Dahlia said while handing the phone to her son.

Henry clenched the blanket as he had a bad feeling about this. He took the phone and unlocked it.

Just like what Dahlia said, there was a voice note from his beloved. He swallowed his saliva. He had a hunch, but he still hoped this was some kind of misunderstanding or a bad joke.

After he prepared himself, Henry pressed the voice note from his beloved and listened carefully.

...

...

...

There was no reaction from Henry. He looked calm after listening to Kate’s voice message. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

He repeatedly clicked the replay button and listened to Kate’s sweet yet sorrowful voice for an hour as if he was obsessed until Dahlia couldn’t handle it anymore.

"Son, she leaves willingly..."

"Do you know where she is right now?" Henry asked. "You are the only one who can help her to leave, Mom."

...

"Yes, I know where she is," Dahlia felt that lying to Henry at this point would only aggravate him. But if Henry wanted to hunt Kate right now, she had to resist because Henry would only damage his relationship with Kate even more.

"Is she safe with my son?"

"Yes, she is safe, I... I have someone who follows her around to protect her," Dahlia said. "Henry, please don’t blame her. She is stubborn, but she thought it necessary for Theo’s survival and your future."

"I’m not blaming her," Henry said while staring at his phone. "It is all my fault, after all."

"It’s not your fault either. You’ve done your best..." Dahlia said.

"My best is not enough, Mom," Henry insisted. "If it’s enough, then Kate wouldn’t feel threatened until she had to leave just because she doesn’t want our son to get hurt or live under constant fear."

"Henry, don’t blame yourself like this. She left because she wants to support you in her own way," Dahlia tried to soothe her son, whose mind must’ve been brewing with darkness right now. "I will keep her safe, so focus on yourself first."

"Yeah, I need to focus on myself first," Henry said. His gaze became cold as he imagined how scared Kate must be right now, probably feeling guilty for running away.

Though Kate tried to keep her facade, her sadness was loud and clear in the voice note. She was grieving as much as he did, and this was a decision she made because she was traumatized and scared of what would happen to everyone around her.

"I should’ve dealt with all of them sooner. Now that things have to end this way, I don’t have anyone but myself to blame," Henry said.

"... you’re not mad at Kate, right?"

"Mad?" Henry glanced at Dahlia, and his lips thinned as he clenched his phone. "I am mad at her, Mom. I love her and did everything for her. But she left after all I’ve done to protect her. I am angry as much as I am disappointed at her and myself."

Dahlia gulped, "Then I can’t tell you where she is until you’ve quenched that anger."

...

Henry didn’t say anything for a while. He replayed the voice note, and after he listened to it, he said, "It’s fine if you don’t want to tell me where she is. I just realized that I need an overwhelming power to give her the safety and security she needs," Henry clenched his phone again until the veins around his hand popped. "By the time I gain that overwhelming power, I will find her myself. Nothing can stop me."

Henry had a bitter smile as he asked his mother, "Isn’t this what you want, Mom? You want me to get my shit together, so you helped Kate to escape. You know I will keep hesitating unless you pull a stunt like this."

As expected, it wasn’t hard for Henry to read her intention. So she shed all of her reluctance and nodded, "This is for your sake as well, Son. You can’t protect her if you’re not even on par with Vernon. Katherine is a good woman, a great mother even, but so many people are targeting her. You need to be strong, Henry."

"I understand, but while I am busy with this, please keep my wife and my son safe," Henry said. His gaze darkened as he was battling between anger and grief in his heart. "I will tie her with our official marriage once everything has been settled. So she won’t run away from me anymore."

Dahlia could sense the overwhelming anger from her son. She wondered if that rage would eventually dissipate once she saw Kate again, but for now, she could only support him, making him a powerful man, enough to protect everyone in his family.

She failed to protect and support James, so she didn’t want to make the same mistake.

’This pain is temporary, Henry. You will eventually become a mighty man, a true fortress for your wife and children,’ Dahlia thought. "Well, for a start, why don’t we get rid of your father first? He has been living for too long, don’t you think?"
