Chapter 176 It Was Me Who Saved You

Kathleen nodded. “Sam.”"Samuel held her hand. “I won't pester you anymore in the future, nor will Iconstantly appear before you. I won't immediately return home once you go to the Macariresidence and do anything you dislike either.”Her heart ached when she heard his remarks.”But ifyou need my help, you can look for me at any time. I won't just stand by and do nothing.” Hecontinued to remind her, “The Yoeger family is complicated. It's not surprising if your brother can'tunderstand it. Thus, you have to remember to look for me if you need anything. Don't go to theothers. They don’t know as much as I do.”’Mm. I got it.” She gave a slight nod."Vanessa tookNicolette back not because she wanted to make up to the latter.” He furrowed his brows. “Zacharyneeds a kidney transplant, so Nicolette is merely the kidney source they're looking for. But in orderto make her donate her kidney willingly, the Yoegers have promised to fulfill some of her terms. Youneed to be wary. I will keep my eyes on them as well so that you won't be in danger. However, atthe same time, you need to be mindful.”“All right.” She continued to nod."Felix is an extremelydangerous man. He might seem to be retiring from the family business, but his words are stillabsolute in Morris Group.” Samuel remained indifferent. “Had it not been for the Macaris’ presenceall these years, Felix would have thrown my Aunt Emily out of the house long ago. It's unlikely thather husband and Christopher can protect her. Therefore, Christopher may not be able to protectyou as well. You have to be cautious.”Sullenly, she stated, “It's genuinely impossible between Chrisand me.""That's... great.” After a short pause, the man said, “All right. That's all that I want to remindyou. Do you have anything to say to me?"“I'm immensely worried about your health. Hence, I willcontinue to provide you with consistent treatment in the future. You can't refuse it.” She knitted herbrows. “If not, I would've asked for the medicine from Caleb in vain, not to mention the annoyingweird scandals that arose from that.”Samuel was stunned. “Did you go there specifically to getmedicine for me?"“What else?” Her frown deepened. “Do you think I need it?"He felt a warmth in hischest. “Thank you. I promise you."The woman let out a sigh. “At first, I had so many things to tellyou. But when I stand in front of you, it seems like everything is redundant.”“Then, I'll wait until youwish to speak about it,” Samuel replied in a deep voice.After musing on it, Kathleen asked, “Can Iask you a question?"With a nod, he responded, “Mm. Go ahead."Pursing her lips, she queried, “Whydo you like Nicolette so much?”He froze momentarily. “Actually, I don't like her that much. I hadmistaken my gratitude for her in saving my life as love at first sight.”“Tsk! I've saved you once aswell. Why didn't you feel grateful toward me, then?” she grumbled.He frowned. “When did you savemy life?""One time, I followed my father to the orphanage to give free medical consultations to thestaff and children. At that time, Old Mrs. Macari took you there as a volunteer. You had a fight with ayoung kid there. When you had your guard down, he pushed you into the water. I was the one whosaved you!"“That was you?" His frown deepened. “I always thought it was Nicolette because she wasthe one who gave me mouth-to-mouth resuscitation when I woke up.”Kathleen was at a loss forwords.“I've asked her about it. She said she was the one who saved me.” Samuel's expression turnedgrim."What nonsense!” Kathleen fumed. “After I got you out of the water, I went to look for theadults to help you."He gazed at her wordlessly.Could I have been deceived for all these years? So itwas Kathleen, not Nicolette, who saved me. At that time, I noticed Nicolette's clothes were wet too,not to mention she gave me mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Therefore, I assumed she was the onewho saved me. As it turns out, I was wrong?Kathleen felt the energy draining from her. “I alwayswondered why you didn’t have any reaction upon seeing me. In the end, you don't even rememberit."Grasping her hand, the man asked, “Why didn't you say anything?"“At that time, you treated meas if I was some kind of plague. I reckoned it would be useless to tell you,” she replied.Samuel fellsilent.She’s right. Back then, I was indeed immensely aloof toward her.”Drat!” he cursed furiously.If itwere not for Nicolette taking the credit, I would have had a blissful future with Kathleen. In the end,Nicolette ruined everything. I won't let her off that easily. The last bit of sympathy I have toward herhas disappeared!Kathleen sighed. “At this point, we shouldn't blame other people anymore.Perhaps, we are simply not destined for each other.”Upon hearing her remarks, he did not utter aword.He regretted and resented himself deeply.Turning to look at the man, she called out,"Sam?"Samuel turned and gazed at her intently.With a faint smile, she said, “Everything is perfect.We have cleared things up and resolved all the problems. I feel that the burden has been lifted frommy heart in an instant.”Still, Samuel looked at her in misery."Moreover, this is great for us. If we stillcan't be together after experiencing so many hardships, then it means we are truly not destined foreach other. The Heavens indeed has its own plans,” she remarked mockingly.Wrapping his armsaround the woman, he said, “That's enough.”As a matter of fact, he had regretted it toomuch.Meanwhile, Kathleen stayed in his arms quietly.She was no longer as emotional as she waswhen they were in the car earlier.Even though her eyes were still red-rimmed, she did not feel anyburden in her heart anymore Both of them had used their own ways to repent their past.Thus, theyfinally felt at ease.Samuel took a deep breath. “Let's have one last date together, shall we?"Stunned,she asked, “A date?"“Let's have it right here. I want to have a date with you for the final time,” heexplained.After a short hesitation, she nodded. “Okay."Samuel told her to get ready for it while hewent outside to wait for her.Half an hour later, the duo appeared on the streets.In order to preventothers from recognizing them, both of them wore face masks.They spent the day wanderingaround.”It looks like this small city is very vibrant,” Kathleen commented.”Mm. If this place doesn'tbecome a major development area, it can become a vacation spot after it undergoes slightrevamping,” Samuel remarked. “But the management has set the rules. Nothing can be doneanymore.""Fortunately, the two mines are not disturbed. Or else, it won't be this picturesque,” sheexplained.”You're right,” he said flatly.”"When will the people move?"“After New Year's Day. It's themanagement who fixed the time. Everything has to be done quickly."She was taken aback. “Isn't itweird that they are in a rush?"He nodded. “Mm. I heard Felix went to see the management. In orderto avoid any trouble, they urged me to start the works as soon as possible.”Kathleen frowned. “Ifyou start the work in a hurry, will there be any trouble?"Pursing his lips, he answered, “Even if thereis a problem, it won't affect the development. Don't worry about it."“Is Felix crazy? Why is he alwaysgoing against you?” she asked in displeasure.Samuel gave a half-smile. “Probably because I remindhim of my grandpa.”
