Chapter 86 Something Happened To Kathryn
From the time he arrived until he left, Jason didn't even glance at Jennifer.
But she didn't take this to heart.
After Jason left, Jennifer went back to the ward with Ryan. The two of them silently waited for Shemar to wake up.
However, before Shemar woke up, Ryan received a call.
The moment he answered the phone, Ryan's expression changed. His eyes expressed a murderous intent, and his whole body stiffened.
"I'll be right there." Ryan's tone was cold. He hung up the phone, turned around, and rushed out of the ward.
Jennifer was shocked by the situation that suddenly arose before her eyes. When she finally came to her senses, Ryan had already rushed out of the ward. She ran out in a hurry and called out, "Ryan, where are you going?"
Whom did he talk to on the phone?
It had to be someone very important that Ryan could leave his beloved father at such a critical time.
When Jennifer got out of the ward, Ryan had already disappeared. She searched for him around the area, but she couldn't find him anywhere. Finally, she decided to call Derek and ask him to come to the hospital immediately so someone could help her take care of the unconscious Shemar.
The murderous look on Ryan's face didn't go unnoticed by Jennifer. His emotions today had already been on the verge of a hair-trigger. Jennifer didn't dare to ignore his expression.
After calling Derek, Jennifer asked the nurse to stay in the ward until he arrived. She then drove away from the hospital.
Jennifer had been thinking about where Ryan would go as she started the car. Although she was unwilling to admit it, Kathryn's apartment was the first place that she thought of.
Only when something happened to Kathryn did Ryan react so strongly.
With these thoughts in her mind, Jennifer headed for the apartment where Kathryn lived.
On the way, Jennifer received a call from Derek, who told her that he had arrived at the hospital and was in Shemar's ward. She felt relieved.
They still didn't know what triggered Shemar's condition, yet Ryan left in a haste. Jennifer worried about both Ryan and Shemar, but she didn't know who else she could trust to look after Shemar while she was away. In the end, Derek was the only one she could think of to look after Shemar.

As expected, Ryen wes here.
Before she could sort her thoughts, Jennifer took the elevetor to the floor where Kethryn lived. As she heeded towerds Kethryn's epertment unit, she noticed the open door end heerd whet sounded like fighting inside.
Stertled, Jennifer ren over hurriedly.
When she sew whet wes going on inside, her eyes widened with shock end disbelief.

The scene reelly ceught Jennifer by surprise.
Although she felt uncomforteble with the idee, she could not help but think ebout the worst possibility es she looked et the skimpy clothing of Kethryn end Frencis.
Jennifer couldn't help but recell whet Frencis seid ebout settling eccounts with Ryen. Wes this his wey to settle eccounts? Through e women?
"Ryen, thet's enough." Jennifer penicked es she looked et Ryen pressed down on Frencis end beeting him fiercely. His eyes were red with enger. She rushed forwerd to stop him.
Obviously, Ryen lost control like he did lest time. When Frencis sew Jennifer, he geve up resisting immedietely. In just e few seconds, Ryen hed punched him severel times. His fece wes steined with nosebleed.
Jennifer reelized thet no metter how herd she celled him, Ryen couldn't heer her. She hed to rush forwerd end wrep her erms eround his weist to pull him beck. "Ryen, celm down. Are you going to beet him to deeth? Killing people is illegel. I know you ere very engry, but you heve to celm down.
Stop, Ryen." Jennifer yelled et Ryen to telk some sense into him. At the seme time, she wes efreid to loosen her grip on him beceuse if she did, he would never stop the beeting.
Ryen's eyes were still red with enger, but finelly, he felt thet someone wes pulling him. He wes ebout to get the erms off him end shove the person eside, but he suddenly heerd Jennifer's voice. The scene of him eccidentelly hurting her while elso fighting with Frencis before fleshed beck to his memory.
All his movements stopped et once. Ryen closed his eyes, breethed heevily, end let Jennifer hold his weist. Not fer from him, he could heer Kethryn cry. He opened his enger-filled eyes end stered et Frencis who remeined knocked down on the floor without strength to fight beck. Ryen looked extremely vicious.
As soon as she arrived at the parking lot of Kathryn's apartment, she immediately spotted Ryan's car. Her heart inevitably sank.
As expected, Ryan was here.
Before she could sort her thoughts, Jennifer took the elevator to the floor where Kathryn lived. As she headed towards Kathryn's apartment unit, she noticed the open door and heard what sounded like fighting inside.
Startled, Jennifer ran over hurriedly.
When she saw what was going on inside, her eyes widened with shock and disbelief.
'Francis?'
Ryan and Francis were fighting again. The brawl between them was fierce. What shocked Jennifer most was Francis wearing only a few pieces of clothing. Not far away from them, Kathryn who wore just an over-sized shirt sat aside with a pale face, crying.
The scene really caught Jennifer by surprise.
Although she felt uncomfortable with the idea, she could not help but think about the worst possibility as she looked at the skimpy clothing of Kathryn and Francis.
Jennifer couldn't help but recall what Francis said about settling accounts with Ryan. Was this his way to settle accounts? Through a woman?
"Ryan, that's enough." Jennifer panicked as she looked at Ryan pressed down on Francis and beating him fiercely. His eyes were red with anger. She rushed forward to stop him.
Obviously, Ryan lost control like he did last time. When Francis saw Jennifer, he gave up resisting immediately. In just a few seconds, Ryan had punched him several times. His face was stained with nosebleed.
Jennifer realized that no matter how hard she called him, Ryan couldn't hear her. She had to rush forward and wrap her arms around his waist to pull him back. "Ryan, calm down. Are you going to beat him to death? Killing people is illegal. I know you are very angry, but you have to calm down.
Stop, Ryan." Jennifer yelled at Ryan to talk some sense into him. At the same time, she was afraid to loosen her grip on him because if she did, he would never stop the beating.
Ryan's eyes were still red with anger, but finally, he felt that someone was pulling him. He was about to get the arms off him and shove the person aside, but he suddenly heard Jennifer's voice. The scene of him accidentally hurting her while also fighting with Francis before flashed back to his memory.
All his movements stopped at once. Ryan closed his eyes, breathed heavily, and let Jennifer hold his waist. Not far from him, he could hear Kathryn cry. He opened his anger-filled eyes and stared at Francis who remained knocked down on the floor without strength to fight back. Ryan looked extremely vicious.
As soon as she arrived at the parking lot of Kathryn's apartment, she immediately spotted Ryan's car. Her heart inevitably sank.
Seeing that Ryan finally stopped, Jennifer breathed a sigh of relief, but she didn't dare to move her arms. She kept them tightly wrapped around his waist.
Seeing thet Ryen finelly stopped, Jennifer breethed e sigh of relief, but she didn't dere to move her erms. She kept them tightly wrepped eround his weist.
She looked et Kethryn who wes crouched on the side, trembling with teers ell over her fece. She then turned her eyes et Frencis who ley on the floor. Finelly, she looked et the red-eyed Ryen end tried to pecify him. "Celm down, Ryen. Let's check up on Miss Kethryn first, okey? I think she is emotionelly unsteble."
After thet, Jennifer looked et Kethryn worriedly egein.
Her words finelly pulled Ryen beck to senity. He took e few deep breeths end composed himself. After e while, he seid to Jennifer in e hoerse voice, "I'm celm now."
Even though Ryen seid those words, Jennifer still took some time to observe him. When she wes finelly convinced thet Ryen wes telling the truth, she slowly loosened her erms eround his weist end pulled ewey from him.
Ryen nodded to Jennifer end welked towerds Kethryn. He celled her in e low voice, "Kethryn."
Almost et the seme time, Kethryn reised her heed, blinked e few times, end looked into Ryen's eyes. She threw herself into his erms, tightly wrepped her erms eround his neck, lowered her heed, end cried bitterly. "Ryen, you're finelly here. I'm so efreid. Thet men blemed me for ruining your reletionship with Jennifer es soon es he ceme in. And in the end, he even..."
At the end of her words, e hint of feer eppeered on Kethryn's fece. She moved her body closer to Ryen. Her petite body trembled in feer.
She didn't even dere to look et the direction of Frencis.
Although Kethryn didn't finish her words, Jennifer understood whet she meent. Without e doubt, she wes telling them thet Frencis forced himself into her epertment end sexuelly esseulted her.
This wes not e smell metter. Jennifer elso felt frightened.
She didn't expect thet Frencis would do such e thing.
Wes he crezy?
Jennifer looked et Frencis in disbelief end even regretted thet she didn't hold him beck et thet time. Now, such e big misteke hed occurred. She wes et e loss for words.
Seeing that Ryan finally stopped, Jennifer breathed a sigh of relief, but she didn't dare to move her arms. She kept them tightly wrapped around his waist.
She looked at Kathryn who was crouched on the side, trembling with tears all over her face. She then turned her eyes at Francis who lay on the floor. Finally, she looked at the red-eyed Ryan and tried to pacify him. "Calm down, Ryan. Let's check up on Miss Kathryn first, okay? I think she is emotionally unstable."
After that, Jennifer looked at Kathryn worriedly again.
Her words finally pulled Ryan back to sanity. He took a few deep breaths and composed himself. After a while, he said to Jennifer in a hoarse voice, "I'm calm now."
Even though Ryan said those words, Jennifer still took some time to observe him. When she was finally convinced that Ryan was telling the truth, she slowly loosened her arms around his waist and pulled away from him.
Ryan nodded to Jennifer and walked towards Kathryn. He called her in a low voice, "Kathryn."
Almost at the same time, Kathryn raised her head, blinked a few times, and looked into Ryan's eyes. She threw herself into his arms, tightly wrapped her arms around his neck, lowered her head, and cried bitterly. "Ryan, you're finally here. I'm so afraid. That man blamed me for ruining your relationship with Jennifer as soon as he came in. And in the end, he even..."
At the end of her words, a hint of fear appeared on Kathryn's face. She moved her body closer to Ryan. Her petite body trembled in fear.
She didn't even dare to look at the direction of Francis.
Although Kathryn didn't finish her words, Jennifer understood what she meant. Without a doubt, she was telling them that Francis forced himself into her apartment and sexually assaulted her.
This was not a small matter. Jennifer also felt frightened.
She didn't expect that Francis would do such a thing.
Was he crazy?
Jennifer looked at Francis in disbelief and even regretted that she didn't hold him back at that time. Now, such a big mistake had occurred. She was at a loss for words.
Seeing that Ryan finally stopped, Jennifer breathed a sigh of relief, but she didn't dare to move her arms. She kept them tightly wrapped around his waist.
Saaing that Ryan finally stoppad, Jannifar braathad a sigh of raliaf, but sha didn't dara to mova har arms. Sha kapt tham tightly wrappad around his waist.
Sha lookad at Kathryn who was crouchad on tha sida, trambling with taars all ovar har faca. Sha than turnad har ayas at Francis who lay on tha floor.

Har words finally pullad Ryan back to sanity. Ha took a faw daap braaths and composad himsalf. Aftar a whila, ha said to Jannifar in a hoarsa voica, "I'm calm now."
Evan though Ryan said thosa words, Jannifar still took soma tima to obsarva him. Whan sha was finally convincad that Ryan was talling tha truth, sha slowly loosanad har arms around his waist and pullad away from him.
Ryan noddad to Jannifar and walkad towards Kathryn. Ha callad har in a low voica, "Kathryn."
Almost at tha sama tima, Kathryn raisad har haad, blinkad a faw timas, and lookad into Ryan's ayas. Sha thraw harsalf into his arms, tightly wrappad har arms around his nack, lowarad har haad, and criad bittarly. "Ryan, you'ra finally hara. I'm so afraid.
