He Stole Me From My Deadbeat Husband
Chapter 292

Chapter 292: Chapter 292

Henry drove to the mental hospital where Dahlia stayed for months, holed inside her ward, forbidden to go to the hospital garden unless a nurse and a security guard accompanied her.

They both knew that Dahlia was not crazy, but they got paid for doing their job, so they said nothing and simply guarded her when she went for a short walk around the garden.

But not during winter. Her body wasn’t in the best shape, so she preferred to stay inside during autumn and winter, which was very beneficial for Henry.

After all, seeing her getting chained like some kind of dangerous criminal while being guarded by a nurse and a burly security guard would cast doubt in Kate’s mind.

They walked into the mental hospital and were greeted by the same nurse who always smiled at Henry.

"Good morning, Mr. Grant—OH—"the nurse paused when she saw a woman walking right by his side. They were holding hands intimately, a sign this woman held a special place in Henry’s heart.

The nurse was disappointed because she thought that Mr. Grant was still single. But she also knew that was impossible to happen.

A man like him had many women lining up to be his girlfriend, so it wasn’t difficult for him to date the most suitable.

’Well, at least they look good together,’ the nurse thought. She then resumed her smile and asked, "Are you here to meet with Mrs. Grant again? And may I know who this woman is?"

Henry frowned, and the nurse quickly fixed her tone, "I’m sorry, Sir. I just want to make sure that Mrs. Grant stays safe. After all, you are the only person who ever visited her..."

"I’m his fiancee," Kate claimed with a smile. "It’s okay. I understand that you need to be safe with any visitor here."

"T—Thank you, Ma’am!" The nurse was relieved that Kate wasn’t easily offended. "Then, please follow me. I will lead you to the ward."

Henry and Kate followed the nurse until they stopped in ward number 410.

She unlocked the door and allowed Kate and Henry to enter the ward.

Kate took a deep breath and braced herself as she was about to meet with Henry’s mother.

She had no expectations regarding Henry’s mother, but at least she knew his mother wasn’t crazy.

As Henry opened the door and Kate walked in after him, she saw a woman sitting on a chair, cutting an apple while watching a show on the TV.

Dahlia stopped cutting the apple once Kate walked in. She wiped her hands and smiled at them, "Good morning, Son. Is this the woman you’ve been telling me all day?"

Kate took a good look at Henry’s mother.

She had shoulder-length brown hair and a very pale complexion.

When she smiled at Kate and Henry, Kate was instantly reminded of James.

That sweet smile with lips curled was the signature smile that James had. It made him approachable and kind.

Unlike Henry, who had a chiseled diamond-shaped face that made him intimidating, Kate could feel the warmth from Dahlia. It was the exact same feeling she had when she first met James.

’If someone told me this woman is James’ mother, I’d believe it instantly, but Henry...’ Kate glanced at Henry and made her opinion, ’I don’t think so.’

Henry had a big and proud smile. He draped his arm over Kate’s shoulder, then wrapped her closer to his embrace, "This is Katherine Ross. She is the girl I’ve been talking about, Mom."

Kate was shy when Henry claimed her as his. He didn’t even shy away from a display of affection, as if he was ready to tell the world that Kate was his beloved.

Her cheeks visibly reddened, and she bashfully bowed a little, "Good morning, Mrs. Grant. My name is Katherine. I am... Henry’s girlfriend."

Dahlia had a thin smile as she observed Kate from head to toe. She looked shy, but it was quite obvious that Kate was definitely not shy when it came to a relationship.

Why?

Because no woman would be able to make Henry listen to her demands unless she knew what to do.

’Do I have to be on guard or not with her?’ Dahlia asked herself. ’She doesn’t seem to be the type who schemes. But I’m not sure since she can get both Henry and James’ hearts.’

’On top of that, her beauty is extraordinary. She could’ve just used her beauty to seduce my sons, and they’d be madly in love with her.’

Dahlia knew that her sons had a very high standard because they had been exposed to many kinds of girls since they were young, but she had to admit there was something about Katherine that just made Dahlia understand Henry and James’ attraction.

Dahlia had a lot of questions and suspicion in mind but decided to give this woman a chance because she might be different from the woman who had been slandered by Sarah, Marlon, and Penny before.

"Can I call you Kate instead? My son always called you Kate in front of me," Dahlia said while glancing at Henry, forcing him to shut up and play along. "I am curious about the woman who has stolen Henry’s heart. You are the first one that could make him go this far, you know?"

"R—Really?" Kate’s cheeks reddened even more until her face looked like a big tomato. She didn’t know why her body froze out of shyness in front of Dahlia, even though she was the one who told Henry she could handle anything.

Nevertheless, she was glad that Dahlia wasn’t hostile towards her. She spent the whole night mentally preparing herself in case Dahlia cursed at her for dating Henry, who was obviously out of her league.

"Yep, and I’m dying to know more about you," Dahlia said. "Besides, I know you also have a lot of questions about me, right? It must’ve scared you to think you’re going to sit with an insane woman trapped in a mental hospital."
