Catherine's POV

"Blake, why don't you listen to me? I told you to leave me alone! Can you just go?"

I was miserable. I just recalled what happened that night, and I didn't want to face Blake now. Why couldn't he just leave me alone?

Couldn't I have an afternoon to pull myself together?

"Cathy, I'm worried about leaving you here." Despite my objection, Blake still stubbornly approached me.

I continued to take a few steps back. Just as I decided to leave with Blake, suddenly, my high heels were tripped by something. I lost my balance and fell back.

I didn't see it coming. After letting out a miserable scream, I felt a figure rushing over.

Within seconds, the two of us fell into the river.

Blake could swim, but the river was fast-flowing. I didn't know how to paddle at all.

Blake lifted me out of the water the second he fell.

I let out a series of coughs, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

Two pack guards helped Blake. I reached the shore with their assistance.

"Cathy, are you alright?" Blake was all wet, yet he cared about nothing but me.

I shook my head and replied weakly, "I'm fine. What about you? Are you hurt?"

"I'm fine, too." Blake replied.

But one of the guards said with concern, "King Blake, your leg is bleeding!"

I quickly looked at his legs. Sure enough, the water that flowed down from his body was a bit reddish.

"What happened? Are you hurt?" I immediately became anxious.

Blake glanced at it and said, "Maybe it was scratched by something. It's OK. Let's get back now."

"King Blake, there are already a lot of people watching from above. Do you want us to drive them away?"

Blake furrowed his brows and said, "No need. Let's go!"

After he finished speaking, he reached out to hold me, but I quickly dodged his hands. "There's no need. Your leg is injured!"

"Are you still mad at me?" Blake seemed upset.

He was such a high-spirited and vigorous man, yet now he was drenched in water because of me. I shook my head and said, "Not anymore. I figured it all out when you lifted me. I want to marry you."

Blake was slightly stunned. Then his thin lips raised into a smile. "It seems that you've come around."

"Yes. You didn't know my name five years ago. If you did, maybe you would have said my name."

Blake said, "Let's go home. Don't let the kids see how miserable we are, or they'll get worried."

"It's all my fault. Why didn't I leave with you earlier? You fell into the water because of me!" I blamed myself.

Blake chuckled. "Stop blaming yourself. See? My wound has healed."

I looked down. The scratch on his leg had indeed begun to heal.
