Chapter 173 What Are You Doing?
Kate gazed at Eric lying on the hospital bed. Even though his vital signs remained unchanged, she persisted in talking to him for half an hour, never leaving his side.
The doctors had told her to talk to Eric as it might stimulate his brain and help him wake up faster.
Kate looked at Eric with deep concern and finally sighed softly, “Ric, wake up, please. Don’t scare
me anymore.”
With a tender longing, she leaned down and placed a gentle kiss on Eric’s lips.
His lips were cold but soft.
Out of the corner of her eye. Kate noticed a slight change in his vital signs when she kissed him!
Although the change was minimal, she saw it.
“Ric. you can feel me, right? Please wake up,” Kate whispered excitedly in Eric’s ear, but the momentary fluctuation in his vitals settled back down.
Unfazed. Kate continued to talk to Eric, staying by his side until late into the night.
Finally, at Hendrick’s urging, she reluctantly laid down on the bed next to his, watching him until she drifted off to sleep.
Her sleep was restless, filled with vague, unclear nightmares. When she woke up, she touched her face and found it wet with tears.
Kate remained silent for a moment before turning to look at Eric again.
He looked slightly better, but his face and lips were still pale.
“Kate, have some breakfast.
Hendrick entered the room with a steaming hot breakfast, bringing an extra portion for Lucas.
Lucas was already awake, struggling to work on his laptop, his hands moving slowly over the keyboard, and his face pale.
“Snap.
A hand suddenly closed Lucas’s laptop decisively.
Lucas looked up angrily, “What are you… doing?”
His angry words were cut short when he saw that it was Kate.

“You feel guilty about Eric, so you want to make up for it?”
Lucas smiled bitterly at Kate’s words, “Madam, it’s my mistake. This is my responsibility.”
He reached out to take the laptop back from Kate.
Finished
Kate stepped back, holding the laptop out of his reach, her expression stern, “I won’t let you use the laptop for long periods until you’re rested.”
“You feel guilty and uneasy, so you’re punishing yourself this way. But what have you achieved? Your health hasn’t improved, and the work isn’t getting done properly.”
Lucas’s face turned pale at her words. He clenched his fists tightly and finally spoke in a hoarse voice, “This is what I owe Mr. Eric.”
Kate looked at Lucas coldly, “Do you think Eric would just watch you work yourself to death? Mr. Ackles, don’t forget you are Eric’s right hand man. If you collapse, who will help Eric with his work?”
“Do you want George to run himself ragged, managing both Summer Estate and Davison Group, cleaning up the mess you leave behind?”
Kate’s words were harsh, reflecting her genuine anger.
Lucas seemed capable and intelligent, so why was he so stubborn about this?
Her deep gaze fixed on Lucas, and she spoke calmly, “Do you think Eric wants to see you like this?”
