With a nagging feeling, Katrina carries the bundle of fruits to the door of Marcellus's ward. Just as she is about to knock and push the door open, she hears a fierce quarrel from inside.
Claire and Marcellus are fighting.
"Marcellus, what are you doing? Miss Harrison was very worried to hear that you got hospitalized. She went to see you out of kindness. Why did you behave so rudely?"
"Mom, I'm the one who's supposed to ask you what you're doing!" Marcellus snaps back. "You know I have a girlfriend, why did you bring her here?"
"Marcellus! Miss Harrison is beautiful and kind. She graduated from a top university abroad. She also comes from a noble family. What else do you want? Since Miss Harrison likes you so much, why don't you try to get along with her? It doesn't make sense choosing that tramp over her!"
Katrina is shocked by the conversation.
Tramp? The word echoes in Katrina's mind like a drum. Hearing the word come from Claire makes her feel uncomfortable.
