Even though Kathleen had always been acting meek toward Samuel, it did not mean that she was a
weak person.
No matter how weak or docile she was, she would not allow a mere bodyguard to order her around.
Sarah looked at Kathleen with displeasure.
This woman is so disgusting. She has snatched Samuel from Nicolette. On top of that, she’s acting so
arrogantly now. Still, I don’t care how she treats me. After all, Nicolette is the future daughter-in-law of
the Macari family. Hence, I only need to please Nicolette.
Kathleen got up and went back to her room.
Left with nowhere else to go, Sarah could only sit in the living room.
Samuel went to the hospital.
Nicolette was thrilled to see him. “Samuel, you’re finally here!”
Looking at her coldly, Samuel asked sternly, “Nicolette, I’m giving you one more chance. Did you send
anyone to hurt Kathleen?”
“No, I didn’t.” Nicolette’s heart skipped a beat.
Why is he suddenly bringing up this matter again?
“The man who injured Benjamin has been caught,” Samuel said impassively.
Nicolette was stunned.
“He couldn’t withstand the torture and came clean about everything.” Looking at Nicolette
expressionlessly, Samuel asked, “Why did you do that?”
“You’re asking me why?” Nicolette’s eyes instantly brimmed with tears when she heard his accusation.
Samuel frowned at her.
Wiping the tears off her face, Nicolette admitted, ”This is because I love you, Samuel. I want to have
you. Do you understand how painful it is for me to love you, yet I can’t seem to win your heart? You
only think that Kathleen was dismayed by this situation. What about me, then? Do you know what I
have to endure in the past three years without you?”
Samuel remained silent.
Nicolette choked back her tears and muttered, “Do you know how much I’ve missed you? I can’t stop
thinking about you. Sometimes, I think I’m losing my mind because of you. I want to return to your side.
However, I can’t do anything about it. Whenever I wanted to return to the country, I would be stopped
by your grandma’s people. If I didn’t get seriously ill this time, they wouldn’t have allowed me to come
back.”
“That’s not an excuse for you to hurt her.” Samuel furrowed his brows in annoyance.
Nicolette sniffled. “I know I’ve made a mistake. However, can you blame me for wanting to be with you?
Samuel, it’s clear that we’re in love with each other. Kathleen is the third wheel here.”
“It was my family who forced me to marry Kathleen. She had no say in this.” Samuel corrected her in a
chilling tone. “Nicolette, I won’t expose you for what you did this time. However, you mustn’t do this
again. Do you understand?”
Tugging at the hem of Samuel’s clothes, Nicolette implored, “I’m so sorry, Samuel. I know I’ve troubled
you.”
Mixed feelings surged within Samuel as he saw her bursting into tears.
He looked up and stroked Nicolette’s head. “Stop crying.”
Sniffling loudly, Nicolette suggested, “Samuel, let’s get married. Even if I only have one day left to live, I
still want to marry you. I want to die in your arms. Then, I will die without regrets.”
Samuel’s expression darkened. “Let’s focus on curing your illness first.”
Upon hearing his words, Nicolette bit her lip.
I’m sure he doesn’t want to divorce Kathleen now. What am I going to do? I’ll be left with nothing at this
rate! It seems like I have to use my last resort.
The chaos seemed to have died down after two days.
Samuel returned home at noon.
Looking at him with surprise, Kathleen probed, “Why are you back?”
“Well, there are some problems with the business over in Frosa. I need to go there to resolve the
matter,” Samuel explained monotonously.
Walking over to his side, Kathleen asked, “How long will you be gone?”
“A week,” Samuel answered.
A week? Hooray! That means I can finally enjoy some time alone!
Arching an eyebrow, Samuel teased, “You seem thrilled to see me leaving the country.”
“No.” Lowering the corners of her mouth forcefully, Kathleen said, “Look, I’m not smiling.”
Samuel’s face darkened at once. “You’d better stay at home throughout this week. You’re not allowed
to go anywhere else.”
“We’ll see about that.” Kathleen pursed her lips at his warning.
“I’ll have someone watch over you.”
Kathleen pouted in disdain.
After Samuel had packed his luggage, Kathleen deliberately walked him to the door.
Seeing the oncoming elevator, Samuel instantly pulled Kathleen into his arms.
He cupped her chin with his huge hand, forcing her to look at him.
Then, he lowered his head and kissed her with his cool, thin lips.
He was dying to taste all of her sweetness at that moment.
Samuel only stopped kissing her passionately when the elevator arrived.
The corners of Kathleen’s eyes glimmered with tears at that moment. It made her look enchanting and
charming.
“You!” Kathleen glared at him.
Stroking her head gently, Samuel reminded her, “I’ll be back in a week.”
Hmph!
Kathleen spun around to avoid his gaze.
Nonetheless, that did not stop Samuel from kissing her lips again. “Kate, we aren’t getting a divorce.
Just wait for me.”
Kathleen felt that he was just coaxing her.
Letting go of her, Samuel entered the elevator.
He fixed his gaze on her until the elevator doors closed.
Only then did Kathleen let out a long sigh of relief.
So what if Samuel said he doesn’t want to divorce me? After all, I’m no match for his first crush.
Back in the hospital ward, Nicolette looked at the lock of hair in her palm. She was heartbroken by her
heavy hair loss.
At that moment, her phone rang.
Picking up the phone, she asked coldly, “Has Samuel left yet?”
“He’s already at the airport. When should we make our move?”
Biting her lip, Nicolette instructed, “Wait a little longer. We have to make sure that he’s no longer in the
country.”
“Aren’t you afraid that Samuel will be mad at you when he returns home?”
“I’m not worried at all. Samuel still has me in his heart. What’s done is done. What can he do about it?
Kathleen thinks she’s better than me. Ha! She has overestimated herself! I’m going to show her who’s
the most important person for Samuel,” Nicolette said disdainfully.
“Okay. I got it.” The other party hung up the phone.
Nicolette’s gaze turned gloomy when she looked at the lock of hair in her palm again.
Soon, I will have a healthy body. At long last, that day will come!
Later that evening, Kathleen came out of her room to have dinner.
Maria left after she finished preparing dinner.
Meanwhile, Sarah was sitting in the living room.
Kathleen did not bother to invite her to eat together.
I’m not dumb enough to invite someone who loathes me to have dinner.
Sitting down, she picked up her fork and put some vegetables on her plate. She then began eating.
Nevertheless, Kathleen felt very sleepy as she ate.
Before she knew it, she was fast asleep.
Sarah came over to Kathleen’s side and gave her a nudge. After making sure that she had fallen
asleep, Sarah immediately made a call. “Drive the car over. I’ll bring her down in three minutes.”
With that, she ended the call.
Holding Kathleen up, Sarah took her outside the house.
By the time Kathleen regained her consciousness, she noticed something was amiss.
She snapped her eyes open and realized that she was in a hospital.
Furthermore, she was tied to the hospital bed with a doctor and nurse standing in front of her.
“What the hell are you guys doing?” Kathleen yelled in panic.
The doctor replied emotionlessly, “We’re going to do the bone marrow transplant for Ms. Yoeger later
tonight.”
“What are you talking about?” Kathleen’s blood ran cold when she heard the doctor’s reply. “How dare
you do this without my consent!”
The doctor took out the consent form for the bone marrow donation. “Look. You’ve already pressed
your thumbprint here.”
Gritting her teeth, Kathleen barked, “You pressed my thumbprint while I was unconscious. I’m the wife
of Samuel Macari! How dare you do this to me?”
“Do you think we would go through this procedure without getting Mr. Macari’s permission?” the doctor
rebutted her indifferently.
“What did you just say?” Kathleen was stupefied.
“Mr. Macari was heartbroken when he saw how much pain Ms. Yoeger had to suffer from the
chemotherapy. That’s why he asked us to bring you here and do the surgery on Ms. Yoeger later.” With
that, the doctor picked up the needle before sticking it into Kathleen’s arm.
