Divorce Anxiety Chapter 425Chapter 425 Afraid Of Samuel
“Speaking of Desi, does she need to wait until she’s eighteen years old to receive treatment?” Samuel
furrowed his brows.
“Yup. It just hit me that you must be really tired taking care of Desi, who’s always sick.”
Samuel swallowed hard without replying a word.
That was when Kelly came into the ward.
“How is it?” Kathleen looked in her direction.
Kelly sighed and complained, “I feel like I’ve explained everything clearly, but not really.”
“Is he coming over then?” Kathleen asked again.
Kelly merely responded with a nod.
“Talk to him again when you guys see each other.” Kathleen stood up. “Anything that you didn’t
manage to tell him during the call just now, say it again when you two meet face to face. You can lock
the door, lest he runs away when you’re talking halfway.”
Kelly seemed troubled.
“We’ll head off first.” Kathleen walked toward Samuel and pulled him out of the ward.
“I haven’t finished speaking earlier” Samuel stared intently at Kathleen.
“What is it?” Kathleen replied indifferently.Thus, Samuel held her hand and confessed, “Kate, Eil and Desi are the best gifts you’ve ever given
me. Despite Desi’s health condition, I’ve never felt exhausted taking care of her. Instead, I made it
through the five years waiting for you because of them.”
Kathleen was taken aback.
Moments passed before she questioned gently, “Are they gifts?”
Samuel took Kathleen into his embrace, and she wrapped her arms around his waist.
For the first time after they had broken up, Kathleen responded to his gesture and hugged him back.
Samuel’s voice turned slightly hoarse. “Of course. They’re truly one-of-a-kind to me.”
“Samuel, in the future, we will have to face the same situation as what Leonard and Kelly are facing
now. If—” Kathleen reminded, her voice trembling.
Before she could continue, Samuel assured her, “You don’t have to say anything. We’ll surely make it
through. Desi too.” Samuel hugged her tighter.
novelbin“Okay.” She buried her face in Samuel’s arms. “Thank you.”
Samuel lowered his head to kiss her hair. “Let’s go!”
“Okay.” Kathleen nodded.
With that, they left the hospital.
Moments later, Leonard arrived at the hospital.
He went into the ward and saw Kelly wiping Felicia’s face with a towel.Now that Felicia had recently regained consciousness, her complexion looked slightly better.
Most importantly, Felicia opened her eyes and greeted Leonard as “Daddy.”
That nearly melted Leonard’s heart then and there.
He could finally relate to how Samuel had been feeling.
It was true that children could heal one’s soul.
He went over and grabbed Kelly’s wrist. The next instant, he took the towel from her and said, “I’ll do
it.”
“All right.” Kelly made way for him.
She rose to her feet and went to the door before locking it.
In the time that followed, Leonard wiped his daughter’s face attentively, so he did not notice Kelly’s
move.
“Leonard, let’s talk.” Kelly mustered her courage.
“What’s it?” replied Leonard, nodding.
“Let’s talk about our current misunderstanding. Leonard… I-I’m fond of you. Even after so many years,
I’m still into you all this while,” Kelly said calmly.
Leonard was shocked by the sudden revelation. His ears gradually turned red.
“It’s not that I’m against being intimate with you physically, but I feel that artificial insemination has a
higher success rate. Of course, I know you care about my health. We can try to conceive naturally first.If things don’t work out, we’ll go for the artificial method. What do you think?” Kelly was in trepidation as
she spoke.
“You’re… fond of me?” Leonard’s voice was raspy.
A flush of embarrassment rose to Kelly’s cheeks. “Yes.”
Why would I give birth to your child if I’m not fond of you?
Leonard took a sharp inhale and replied, “I like you too. It has been so many years, yet I still have you
in my mind. I used to resent you, but I would think about you every night that I hardly fell asleep.”
Kelly’s eyes gradually misted with tears.
“You don’t have to apologize. I only wish that you will not hide anything or your thoughts from me in the
future. Can you promise me that?” Leonard asked in his trembling voice.
Kelly nodded. “Okay. I won’t hide anything from now on.”
“All right. Me too. Let’s start over,” Leonard replied calmly.
Kelly’s face turned redder as soon as she heard that.
While gazing at Kelly’s rosy cheeks, Leonard grinned and pulled her into his arms. Then, he gently
pressed his lips against hers.
The little girl on the bed opened her eyes and saw the couple kissing. Flustered, she immediately
covered her eyes.
Yet, she could not help but peek at them through the gap between her fingers while giggling with joy.
It was not long before Kathleen and Samuel returned to Florinia Manor.“Kathleen!” Zion came over.
But he froze when he saw Samuel. “Samuel.”
Even though he was also staying in Florinia Manor, he rarely had the chance to meet Samuel since the
manor was massive.
Moreover, Samuel had a pair of dark eyes with a deep gaze that exuded a mysterious and oppressing
aura.
Zion was bubbly in front of Kathleen, but he felt exceptionally anxious when facing Samuel.
Samuel nodded and said to Kathleen, “I’ll head upstairs.”
“Okay.” Kathleen nodded.
Then, Samuel strode off.
A baffled look showed on Kathleen’s face as she stared at Zion. “What’s wrong?”
“Yareli’s back,” Zion said coldly.
She’s back?
“How did you know?” Kathleen was surprised.
“Dorothy called me today.” After a momentary pause, Zion explained, “She knows the manor’s number,
so she called, and I happened to pick up. When she was talking to me, I heard Yareli’s voice.”
“Are you sure you didn’t hear it wrongly?” Kathleen frowned.Shaking his head, Zion answered, “I never confuse voices. My hearing ability is a lot better than
ordinary people’s.”
“Okay. I got it,” Kathleen replied with a nod.
“Kathleen, Yareli will surely think that you caused her mom’s death. You’d better be careful,” Zion
reminded.
Kathleen let out a cold chuckle and said, “Don’t worry. She can’t do anything to me.”
“Glad to hear that.” Zion nodded in relief.
“By the way, why did Dorothy call you?” Kathleen came back to her senses.
“She said she could tell me my biological parents’ whereabouts,” Zion revealed.
“I see. What’s your thoughts on that, then?” Kathleen was curious.
“What if she’s lying to me? Besides, no one knows why my biological parents abandoned me back
then. If I return to their side, are they going to cherish me like their son or continue to sell me out to
Dorothy?” Zion was slightly agitated as he spoke.
He was in a dilemma.
Of course, Kathleen knew how miserable Zion felt too.
Patting his shoulder, she suggested, “Actually, all you need to do is pull off some tricks. Since she
doesn’t have good intentions, to begin with, you don’t have to be nice to her too.”
Zion’s brows settled into a deep frown as though he was trying to comprehend the meaning behind
Kathleen’s words.“You can pretend to accept her suggestion and ask her to show you what your biological parents look
like. Then, you can leave the rest of it to Samuel. He’s really good at looking for people. In a place as
big as Jadeborough, he will find out even if a rat were to sneak in,” Kathleen exaggerated.
Zion was amused by Kathleen’s remark. “Is Samuel a cat?”
“Well, he isn’t a cat, but he’s technically in the feline family. He’s a lion,” Kathleen mocked.
“I try it out then.” Zion was slightly doubtful.
“Mm-hmm. Go ahead. Just look for Samuel if you need something.”
“Kathleen.” Zion hesitated for a moment before he blurted out, “Do you ever feel afraid of Samuel?”
