Death Sentence
“Mrs. Morris,” Kathleen called, stopping Emily.
Aaron also walked over and held Emily back.
“Now that we found out the truth, the Morris family should decide what to do,” Kathleen stated.
“Thank you,” Aaron thanked her sincerely.
“It’s nothing.” Turning to Charles, Kathleen said, “Charles, let’s go.”
The latter nodded and turned around to enter the bathroom.
After removing his hospital gown and changing into his own clothes, he came out and left with
Kathleen.
When they exited the room, they ran into Felix, who had been eavesdropping outside.
Even when a fight broke out inside, he did not go in.
Upon seeing him, Kathleen sneered. “Old Mr. Morris, do you perhaps think that I’m being nosy?”
Felix’s face darkened at her words.
“Because of your foolishness, your grandson ended up comatose. I wonder how you feel,” Kathleen
mocked.
“You!” Felix clenched his jaw with rage.
“Just because you’re old doesn’t mean I won’t dare to do anything!” Charles spoke up, looking at Felix
coldly.
Felix was so mad that his features were contorted.
On the other hand, Kathleen smiled nonchalantly. “Even if I were not a divorcee, I would never want to
marry into your family. With an elder like you around, my life would be horrible!”
After saying that, she turned around and left.
Charles also let out a snort before following suit.
As Felix watched them leave, his face was sour.
Just then, Emily’s angry voice boomed from the room. “Send her to the police station. I’m going to kill
whoever tries to stop me!”
Since she had already put it that way, Felix knew there was no point in going in anymore.
Never in his dreams did he expect Astrid to do something like this.
No matter what, Christopher was his grandson. There was no way he would stand on Astrid’s side at
this point.
He decided to let Aaron handle the matter.
However, he was sure that his friend would come begging for mercy.
Meanwhile, after the Johnson siblings left the Morris residence, they got into their car.
Sitting in the driver’s seat, Charles asked, “Where do we go?”
“To the College of Medicine. I’m meeting Samuel there.”
Charles paused for a while. “Kathleen, you—”
“Don’t worry. I still remember what you told me last time,” Kathleen reassured. “Like what you said, I did
have feelings for him before. But now, I don’t remember those days anymore, nor do I still like him. It’s
just that, as Desi and Eil’s father, he took care of them for five years. They’re very dependent on him,
and if something happens to him, the kids will be traumatized.”
Charles nodded. “I’m not in the position to say much about the relationship between you two. Your
happiness matters the most, in the end.”
“I know. No one can force me to do what I don’t want to,” Kathleen uttered icily. Upon remembering
something, she asked, “By the way, did the people from Blissful Sect come looking for you?”
“Yes.”
“Ignore them, no matter what they tell you,” Kathleen said sternly. “I’m going to deal with them once I’m
done with the matters on hand.”
Hearing that, Charles looked at her in surprise.
“Wilbur has long joined hands with Axeworth. However, he doesn’t seem to be aware of my identity.”
Charles was visibly taken aback. “His father, Raymond, has never been on good terms with Theodore,”
he commented.
“Yeah.” Kathleen nodded. “I know that. The two organizations have been battling each other fiercely
this year. Do you think that’s a pure coincidence? It’s all someone’s doing.”
“I guess I should inform Raymond about it,” Charles muttered, narrowing his eyes.
“Don’t be so quick to act,” Kathleen advised. “Do you think Raymond will believe you if you tell him
now? Wyatt and Wilbur are going at it right now. If you tell Raymond, he’ll think that you’re siding with
Wyatt. You better take your hands off Blissful Sect’s issue as early as possible. If you can’t, I’ll destroy
them for you.”
Charles widened his eyes.
“All it takes is a bag of powder,” Kathleen continued coldly.
“That would be too obvious.”
“What are you worried about?” After saying that, Kathleen started laying out her plan. “I’ll give
Raymond, Wyatt, and Wilbur one bag each. After they die, you’ll be the most powerful one in Blissful
Sect. By then, you can become the leader.”
Charles stared at her as he was rendered speechless.
She had indeed changed a lot.
When Charles dropped Kathleen off at the entrance of the College of Medicine, she immediately saw
Samuel’s Maybach parked outside. He had arrived way before her.
He’s quite cooperative, huh.
After she got out of the car, Samuel did the same.
Walking toward her, he inquired, “You went to the Morris residence?”
“Yes. I captured the bad people for them.”
“I see.”
“Let’s go in.” With that, Kathleen led the way.
She had contacted the relevant personnel in advance, so when they arrived, the staff were already
doing the preparations.
Kathleen handed a hospital gown to Samuel and told him, “Change into this. Take off your
undergarments and your watch.”
“Okay.” Samuel took it from her before entering the changing room.
Standing outside, Kathleen could hear him undressing and dressing.
Soon, Samuel finished changing and came out.
Despite wearing a hospital gown, he looked as mighty and powerful as ever.
They then moved to the room containing the machine.
Everything was all set there with the staff waiting for them.
After making Samuel lie down, Kathleen passed him a pair of earplugs and reminded him, “If you feel
uncomfortable, press the button beside the bed. The machine will immediately stop working.”
“Okay,” Samuel responded and took the earplugs from her.
Withdrawing her hands, Kathleen stepped back and stood at the side.
When Samuel saw the indifferent look on her face, he couldn’t help but feel a bit sullen.
If this were before, she would definitely give him a few more reminders out of concern.
Yet now, she only did the bare minimum.
Gulping, Samuel put the earplugs in and lay down.
The staff then turned on a switch, sending him into the machine.
While Kathleen focused her attention on the monitor, Richard entered.
He greeted her and watched the monitor with her.
Three minutes later, the machine stopped, and Samuel reemerged from it.
Kathleen and Richard walked over to him, while the staff removed the safety belts wrapped around his
body.
Samuel sat up, his forehead beaded with sweat.
Upon seeing that, Kathleen frowned. “Are you okay?”
Samuel did not answer her question. Instead, he asked impassively, “Did you find anything?”
“There is indeed no male lovebug in your body. However, something is wrong with your heart,”
Kathleen informed him.
Samuel nodded. “I know.”
“You know?” Kathleen was slightly startled to hear that.
“My heart has been in pain for a while now,” Samuel said.
Kathleen turned to Richard with furrowed brows. “Do you know about this?”
In response, Richard shook his head.
He had no idea at all.
“Is it really bad?” Samuel asked.
“You need a heart transplant. However, considering your health condition, you’ll definitely die if your
body rejects the transplant,” Kathleen explained in a low voice.
Samuel glanced at her. Even after hearing those words from her, he could only smile.
“How much time do I have left?”
“Before, I thought you still have a few years. But now…” Kathleen sighed. “Half a year, I think.”
Only half a year?
Samuel’s tone remained calm. “Don’t tell my family.”
“You don’t want them to know?”
“There is no need to,” Samuel insisted in a hoarse voice.
