Divorce Anxiety Chapter 428Chapter 428 This Is A Miracle
Outside the room, Kathleen knitted her brows.
She didn’t know why Samuel was looking for Ashley.
Nonetheless, she let the matter go and walked away from the door.
Meanwhile, the conversation in the room went on.
“We haven’t found anything all these years. How come there’s suddenly news about her now?” Samuel
wondered out loud, a solemn look evident on his face.
“Here’s what happened, Mr. Macari. After Ashley was kidnapped back then, the Zeller family kept quiet
about it because they were worried that something would happen to her again. They also forbade
anyone in the family from spreading the news. It is said that Ashley was so traumatized to the point of
losing part of her memories. Thus, the Zeller family kept the incident a secret for her sake. However,
someone managed to dig this up some time ago, which allowed us to follow the clues and find her,”
Tyson explained.
Samuel nodded. “It’s a good thing she’s alive.”
Otherwise, he would feel guilty about it for the rest of his life.
“Mr. Macari, I have another piece of information.” Tyson paused before continuing, “Ashley is Luna
Zeller’s niece. The former is very favored by the Zeller family since her parents had her in their autumn
years.”
“I got it. I owe her for this incident, after all. It doesn’t matter whose niece she is,” Samuel said calmly.“Do I need to inform Mrs. Macari about this?”
novelbinShaking his head, Samuel advised, “There is no need for now.”
“All right. I understand,” Tyson said, bobbing his head.
“Do not let anyone know of this,” reminded Samuel with a deep voice.
Once again, Tyson nodded.
There was no way he would tell anyone about this.
After a while, the two men came out of the study together.
When Samuel returned to the bedroom, Kathleen was nowhere to be found.
He immediately came back out and went downstairs.
Kathleen was sitting by the dining table, having her breakfast quietly.
“You’re awake?” Samuel uttered as he walked over to her.
Kathleen simply nodded without saying anything.
“Does your head hurt?” Samuel asked out of concern.
“Yes.” Taking a gulp of her juice, Kathleen remarked, “Your head would hurt if you drank, too.”
Her words amused Samuel. “Didn’t you ban me from drinking?”
He had listened to her well and abstained from alcohol totally.
In response, Kathleen let out a light snort.Samuel sat down, studying her carefully.
Noticing that there weren’t any visible changes in her mood, he figured she had forgotten about last
night.
While Kathleen was eating nonchalantly, her phone rang.
“Hello?” she said into the phone.
Federick’s excited voice came from the other end of the line. “Kate, it’s me. Are you at the hospital
today? I’ll visit you with Madeline. I have something urgent to tell you.”
Something urgent?
“Okay,” Kathleen agreed instantly. “I’ll go to the hospital and wait for you there.”
“Okay.” After that, Federick cut the call, and Kathleen put down her phone.
“What’s the matter?” Samuel inquired.
“Federick wants to see me for something urgent. He said he’s coming with Madeline. I don’t know what
happened,” said Kathleen with a frown.
“I’ll go with you to the hospital.”
Kathleen gave him a side-eye and teased, “You’re by my side all the time. Are you giving up on your
company now?”
Samuel stared at her.
“If you keep doing this, your employees might accuse me of seducing you and keeping you from going
to work,” Kathleen argued. “You don’t need to come with me. I’ll be fine on my own.”After all, she was a grown-up now.
Pursing his lips, Samuel gave in. “All right.”
“Bye!” Kathleen gave him a peck on the cheek and reminded him, “Be careful with your wrist.”
In an instant, the nervousness Samuel had been feeling the entire night dissipated because of her
action.
“Okay. I’m going to work now.” After kissing her lips lightly, he stood up and headed out.
Tyson was already waiting in the car outside.
With Samuel gone, Kathleen heaved a sigh of relief.
She finished her food and changed her clothes before heading to the hospital.
Right after she reached her office, Federick came in with Madeline.
“Please be seated,” Kathleen said politely. “What urgent matter is it that brought you two here?”
Federick seemed pumped up, so she guessed it was not something bad.
“Kate. Madeline… Madeline has changed!” Federick blurted excitedly.
Changed?
Kathleen shifted her gaze to Madeline and asked with bewilderment, “In what way?”
“Ms. Kate,” Madeline called out sweetly.
Kathleen froze. The girl used to call her Katie.“What’s going on?” Kathleen was puzzled.
“Ms. Kate, I’ve returned to normal,” explained Madeline with a smile.
Returned… to normal?
Hearing those words, Kathleen looked Madeline up and down. “You’re cured of autism?”
“Daddy brought me to a checkup this morning. My symptoms are very mild now. The doctor said I can
be cured if I continue taking medicine and receiving treatment.”
Exhilarated, Kathleen wrapped her arms around Madeline. “This is great news!”
Federick wiped away his tears and said, “Isn’t this a blessing in disguise?”
“It is!” Kathleen beamed.
She let go of Madeline and held the latter’s face with both hands.
Madeline was thirteen years old now, almost in the prime of her youth.
Federick was worried sick about her before, but fortunately, she recovered.
He was so emotional that he began to shed tears of joy. “Back then, I even thought of asking you to
take care of Madeline when her grandmother and I are no longer around.”
Madeline’s eyes also started to redden at that point.
When Federick and her mother divorced, he was still young.
He could have dated someone else, but he did not do so.Instead, he devoted himself to taking care of Madeline.
Sitting beside Federick, Madeline noticed that he had grown a lot of white hair.
There was no denying that he had aged a lot.
“Thank you, Dad,” said Madeline tearfully.
Federick was sobbing uncontrollably by then, and it pained Kathleen to see that.
She patted his shoulder and comforted, “Federick, this is a good thing.”
“I know,” Federick cried. “I am happy. I am beyond happy! If only I could, I’d let everyone in this world
know about this good news!”
Kathleen understood his sentiments very well.
Federick then said, “Kate, it will be Madeline’s birthday in a few days. I want to throw her a huge
birthday party. Remember to come with Samuel.”
“Okay, sure.”
Wiping his tears, Federick stood up. “We’ll leave first, then. My mom is still waiting for us at home.”
“All right. See you soon!”
After walking them out of the hospital, Kathleen stood by the entrance, watching their leaving figures.
At that moment, Gemma ran out in a hurry. “Kate, I heard that—”
Before she could even continue, Kathleen embraced her and laughed heartily.
Gemma immediately understood.She hugged Kathleen back tightly and said with a trembling voice, “This is great news. This is
wonderful news!”
“I know!” Kathleen was about to burst into tears. “This is a miracle!”
“I feel like nothing else can make me happier than this,” Gemma said with reddened eyes.
The two women expressed their excitement for a while before releasing each other.
Holding Gemma’s hand, Kathleen commented, “This is indeed happy news, but you’ll be as happy
when Richard proposes to you again.”
“Don’t even mention it.” Gemma suddenly pouted. “I don’t know why, but he’s been extremely quiet
after the proposal. My brother is slowly setting aside his prejudice toward Richard. Now, Richard is the
one staying in the same place and not progressing.”
