Divorce Anxiety Chapter 478Chapter 478 Incident
“So, you are still alive.” Samuel was reminded of Richard’s pain.
Richard deserves to suffer. He has chosen to believe Elena, after all.
“That’s right. Are you here to visit the kids?” Gemma said nonchalantly.
Samuel nodded.
“I saw the news. Congratulations on finally reconciling with Kate. You two have been through a lot.”
She was genuinely happy for them.
“Thank you for helping her take care of the kids,” he expressed his gratitude.
“You’re being too polite. I am their godmother, after all.”
Samuel uttered solemnly, “I’ll have to rush back later. I’ll need to continue troubling you with them.”
“All right.” Gemma nodded. “How long do you reckon you two will stay busy?”
“We will return here once Old Mrs. Lester’s condition stabilizes,” Samuel replied.
“I got it.” Gemma smiled faintly. “Tell Kate not to worry. I’ll make sure the kids are safe and sound.”
“Okay.” Samuel patted his children’s heads. “I’m going back to meet with your Mommy. You two stay at
home obediently and listen to Gemma. Do you hear me?”
“Rest assured, Daddy. I’ll take good care of Desi,” said Eilam.
The little girl pouted at her brother’s words. “I don’t need someone to take care of me. I’m a grown-up
now.”Samuel beamed at them affectionately. “Okay. In that case, take good care of yourselves.”
“Daddy, we will wait for you and Mommy to come back!” Anticipation filled Desiree’s voice.
She knew her parents had truly reconciled this time.
“Okay.” Samuel nodded.
He stood up, turned around, and left.
Desiree held Eilam’s hand and chirped, “Eil, Mommy and Daddy are finally back together. They won’t
split up again after this!”
“Yes.” Eilam was delighted too.
However, he was not as expressive as his sister.
Samuel got into the car heading back to Nardor.
Just then, Richard sent him a text message: Samuel, can you help me ask Kathleen where did she
bury Gem?
Samuel replied: I can’t help you, Richard. You’re still far too kind toward Elena. She is significantly
related to Gemma’s accident, yet you only held her captive and continued caring for her, providing her
with food and drinks. You’ll regret this sooner or later.
Richard felt anguished. He responded: What should I do then?
Samuel: Do I need to teach you what to do? Deal with this matter without letting your feelings cloud
your judgment.
He placed down his phone after sending out the message.Then, he took a walk down the memory lane.
Nicolette hurt Kathleen, and he had let Nicolette off the hook because she saved his life. His decision
had allowed Nicolette the chance to harm Kathleen for a second time.
That decision had also became his deepest remorse.
He gave that heartfelt advice to Richard because he did not want Richard to regret his actions.
As for Samuel, he would no longer show Nicolette any mercy as well.
An hour later, Samuel arrived at the hospital.
He had left the hospital for four hours since his departure earlier.
Thus, he figured the surgery should be ending soon.
Just as Samuel entered the hospital, Francis exited the elevator. “You’re back?”
Samuel nodded indifferently. “How’s the operation?”
“It’s a great success.” Francis grinned. “Kate was simply superb. I heard the doctors and nurses who
worked alongside her in the operating theatre compliment her extraordinary medical skills.”
“That goes without saying.” Samuel felt proud. “I’ll check on her.”
Now that the surgery had ended, he was afraid that the members of the Lester family would inform
Kathleen of the entire truth when she was in that exhausted state.
“Go on.” Francis nodded. “I’m going back to grab some things.”
Samuel bobbed his head before going into the elevator.He stepped out of the elevator upon arriving at the seventh floor.
Anthony and the others walked in his direction.
“You’re back, Samuel. Kate is inside the office. You should go and look for her there,” Suzie uttered.
“Thank you.” Samuel strode toward the office at once.
The hospital vacated the office at the last minute.
In the morning, Samuel had bid his farewell to Kathleen there.
He knocked, pushed the door open, and entered.
He saw Kathleen sitting on the chair, sleeping.
She was obviously worn out.
Kathleen had been preparing for the surgery for a few days.
In addition, she had to keep herself focused for four hours straight just now. Therefore, she was
overwhelmed by fatigue the moment she was allowed to rest.
Samuel shuffled lightly to her side, took off his coat, and draped the outerwear on her body.
Then, he sat down aside and took out his phone to deal with some matters.
Kathleen slept for a long time.
She did not regain her senses until night fell.
“Samuel.” She straightened herself on the chair and saw the coat. Instantaneously, she knew it was
his.Due to the unlit surroundings, she failed to discern Samuel’s location momentarily.
He stood up, walked to her side, and switched on the table lamp. “I’m here.”
The soft glow from the table lamp illuminated his handsome facial features, which were arranged into a
tender expression.
“You’ve worked hard.” Samuel gently caressed her face. “Are you still sleepy?”
Kathleen shook her head. “I’m feeling much better. How long did I sleep?”
“Six hours.” He curled his thin lips. “Are you hungry?”
“A little.” She stroked her stomach. “Let’s visit Old Mrs. Lester before we have our meals.”
“Sure.” Samuel nodded.
Kathleen got to her feet, returned Samuel his coat, and picked up her own outerwear before exiting the
room.
They arrived at the entrance of Betty’s ward and glanced inside the room.
The elderly lady did not require any family members to stay and accompany her that night because
there were professional doctors and nurses taking care of her.
Kathleen briefly examined Betty’s condition before leaving with Samuel.
They walked out of the hospital together.
Nardor’s environment was comfortable as the temperature was just right.
“Let’s take a walk, Samuel,” Kathleen piped up.“Okay.” He nodded.
Kathleen knew Samuel’s leg had yet to recover.
However, the hotel was merely a five-minute walk from the hospital.
“Did you meet with Ashley?” she asked casually.
Her question took him by surprise. “Yes. I went to meet with her. I didn’t lie to you on purpose. I just…”
“I know. You were just being cautious. Don’t worry. I don’t mind,” she said in amusement.
“She changed her name to Annabeth. Walter sent her here since that incident. She didn’t know the
mastermind behind her kidnapping was Luna,” Samuel explained.
Kathleen frowned. “Are you saying that Luna orchestrated that kidnapping incident?”
Samuel nodded calmly. “That’s right. Walter and his wife were blessed with Ashley when they were
close to fifty years old. Previously, Mrs. Zeller experienced multiple miscarriages, and those
misfortunes were also related to Luna.”
“Luna did all those things for the sake of money? Because she wants to take over the Zeller family’s
assets?” Kathleen asked.
“I think so. What other reason could there be? She’s a very selfish person, to begin with.”
novelbinKathleen nodded. “Now that Walter and his family know about this, they’ll never let Luna and the others
go.”
“I just received news that Walter and his wife have gone back to the country. It seems like they’re going
to settle the score with Luna,” Samuel said with all seriousness.Kathleen glanced at the date. “There are seven days left.”
Samuel furrowed his brows. “What? Seven days?”
“That’s the number of days until Trevor has to hand over the parcel.” A cold glint flashed across her
eyes.
