Divorce Anxiety
Chapter 119

Listening to Christopher's words, Kathleen felt touched.However, she thought she was being tooarrogant.She just couldn't feel the same way as he did.She tried to, but her heart didn't listen toher.Of course, she could tell that Christopher was indeed a good man.Perhaps it was because hewas too good for Kathleen, so she didn't want to treat him that way. It was too cruel toChristopher.Christopher patted her head. “Kate, don't think too much. I'm not trying to force you.I'm just worried you'll misunderstand my relationship with Astrid. There's nothing going on betweenus, I promise. Even though we had an engagement in the past, we have only met a few times.Moreover, we canceled the engagement long ago."Kathleen looked at him with overwhelmedemotions. “Chris, thank you for making me feel safe.”Christopher smiled. “Then sleep well with thissense of security.”“Okay.” Kathleen nodded and shut her eyes.Christopher stared at her sleepingface. His lips curled up as his hand was still holding Kathleen's. She didn't push him away.MaybeKathleen has some sort of feelings for me. It's just because she has been hurt in a relationshipbefore, so she has become extra careful about love. That's why she's rejecting me again and again.It's okay. I can wait. I'll wait until the day she completely lets go of the past.Outside the door,Samuel heard the conversation between them in the room, and his gaze darkened. He left whilecarrying the things in his hand.John looked at him, bewildered. “Mr. Macari?” he calledtentatively.”Give this to Kathleen.” After Samuel passed the things in his hand to John, he turnedand walked away.John gazed at the things in his hand and slightly frowned.Samuel drove alone andheaded to the seaside.When he reached, he got off the car. He was smoking a cigarette as the chillysea breeze blew at him.He told himself to stay calm and rational.Christopher's confession wasnothing since Kathleen didn't accept it.Nonetheless, Samuel knew that Kathleen's heart hadwavered.Christopher was better than Samuel in many aspects. When there was a misunderstanding,Christopher would explain it to Kathleen to give her a sense of security.At that, Samuel had lost tohim.Kathleen resisted Samuel so much that he had to force every chance to get close to her.I'm nota part of Kathleen's world anymore. Not anymore...Cough! Cough!Samuel began to cough, andTyson quickly came to him.”Mr. Macari!” shouted Tyson.He immediately dropped a coat overSamuel. “Mr. Macari, please stop torturing yourself like this. Your body can't take it,” he saidworriedly.“It's fine,” Samuel replied indifferently.“Mr. Macari, I know you're desperate to pursue Mrs.Macari's heart. However, if your body is worn out, Christopher will win without a fight!” Tysonadded."Tyson, if I'm dead, do you think Kathleen will feel sad for me? Years later, will she rememberme?” Samuel asked in a low and husky voice."Mr. Macari, you won't die,” answered Tyson, feelingbitter in his heart. Tyson knew Samuel was heartbroken and regretted everything he had done in thepast.However, Kathleen was deeply hurt too. Nothing could be changed unless they could travelback in time.He genuinely hoped that Kathleen and Samuel could be happy.“She won't rememberme, will she? Perhaps she would feel pleased and satisfied,” said Samuel, his voice croaked. Hecontinued, “Tyson, I like her so much. I really..."Before he could finish, Samuel collapsed into Tyson'sarms.”Mr. Macari!” Tyson panicked. What should I do?At midnight, when Kathleen woke up,Christopher had gone home.She was still feeling unwell. After getting off her bed, she changed herclothes, wore her hat and mask, and left her residential place alone.She wanted to go to the hospitalbut didn't wish to trouble anyone.Therefore, she called a cab and came to the hospital. When shearrived, she walked to the counter for registration.Just then, Tyson, who had just sent Samuel to thehospital, stepped out of the elevator.He was stunned when he saw Kathleen.”Ms. Johnson? It's reallyyou!” Tyson called as he walked toward Kathleen.Kathleen's watery eyes were slightly red due to herfever. “Mr. Hackney?"“Ms. Johnson, what's wrong?” asked Tyson in concern.” have a fever. It seemsa bit serious, so I thought I should come to a doctor,” Kathleen explained.”You don't have to waithere. I'll bring you to the doctor. This way,” said Tyson enthusiastically.Kathleen hesitated.Tysonadded awkwardly, “Ms. Johnson, you can't see me the wrong way just because I'm Mr. Macari'sassistant, right?"“I'm sorry. Thank you for your help,” she apologized.After all, when she facedproblems in the past, it was Tyson who helped her.She believed that his personality wastrustable.Tyson led Kathleen to the doctor.The doctor was a very young man who looked 28 or 29years old, around the same age as Samuel."My name is Richard Zimmer,” The man introducedhimself.Kathleen blinked. “Oh, nice to meet you, Dr. Zimmer."Richard gave a faint smile. “Your bodytemperature now is 39 degrees Celsius. You have to be hospitalized.”"Is it that bad?” Kathleenfrowned.It's you who have a fever, Ms. Johnson. Are you feeling dizzy because of the fever?” Hecontinued to smile.”l am indeed feeling sick.” Kathleen's eyebrows furrowed.Richard said, “I'llarrange your stay in the hospital and then set up the IV drip for you.”“Okay.” Kathleen nodded.”Ms.Johnson, as you might be aware, most hospitals in Jadeborough are short of beds at the moment.We might not be able to allocate a better ward for you, and you're possibly going to share a roomwith another person. Is that okay?” asked Richard.Kathleen felt her head become heavier as sheanswered, “Anything will do. I'm going to leave after getting the IV drip, so..."She fainted beforefinishing her words.Fortunately, Tyson caught her.He glanced at Richard and said, “I'll call theproduction team. The production team probably doesn't know that she came out alone."Richardnodded in response.When Kathleen opened her eyes again, she saw the ceiling and knew she was inthe hospital.”Kate, are you awake?” Wynnie's voice rang.Kathleen was stunned. She looked sideways,and Wynnie came into sight. “Mrs. Macari, why are you here?"Who has informed her that I'm in thehospital?“We came to visit Samuel and were surprised to replace you here too.” Wynnie touched herface and continued, “It's still a little hot. You should lay back down. Do you want to drinkwater?“Kathleen frowned. “You're here to see Samuel? Is he also hospitalized?"However, how didthey replace me here? What does that have to do with Samuel being hospitalized?Wynnie pointed atthe bed beside hers. “He's right there."Kathleen was utterly dumbfounded.As she looked over,Samuel was in the bed next to hers.He was getting an IV drip as well but was stillunconscious.What's going on? Why am I in the same ward with Samuel?“I've asked the doctor. Hesaid the wards in the hospital are inadequate, so this VIP ward has been changed into a doubleroom. This is the last ward, so he made you share this room with Samuel,” Wynnieexplained.Kathleen bit her lip. “Why is Samuel staying at the hospital?"“Gastroenteritis. It's his oldillness and occurs a lot of times. He has become a regular of the hospital,” Wynnie replied.Kathleenasked after a slight pause, “I remember he didn't have this before, did he?"It started this year,”Wynnie answered in an unfathomable tone.Kathleen assumed that it was because he had put toomuch effort into his work."Your brother is on his way here. You should get some rest,” said Wynniegently.
