Chapter 198

"Samuel, you * Kathleen hadn't even realized that her voice was shaky

The man's big hands clutched tight to the handkerchief and said, “It's nothing”

Kathleen bit her lip and asked, “Why didn’t you just stay in the hospital?”

“Does it have anything to do with you?” Samuel asked as he threw a frigid look at the woman,stumping her

"Havent you chosen to be together with Caleb?” Samuel mocked “He's better than me anyway Imean, you're his first love Since you guys were practically intertwined with each other, I reckon thatyou've already kissed him at this point So, why do you care so much about me?”

"You!" Kathleen was so furious that her hand shook violently

His eyes darkened as he peered at the woman's porcelain fair skin “I didn't mess with you.”

I did try to steer clear of you

Kathleen slowly loosened her grip

“I shouldn't have come to replace you" Kathleen let go of her handkerchief and got out of the carSomnuel's eyes turned red as he looked at her silhouette tears brimming in his eyes

“Let's go,” he said in a hoarse voice

Tyson lelt terrible

He closed the car door and chauffeured Samuel away

Kathleen went back to the mansion and curled up on the couch

Charles came down from the second floor and said, “I saw Samuel moving out That's great

Charles was taken aback alter noticing his sister's devastating looks and tear-stricken eyes

"My dear, what's the matter?* Charles went over and asked in a concerned tone

“Charles, Samuel's condition is worsening.” she said in a shaky voice

Charles patted her head and said, “You guys are already divorced Why do you still care about him?"Yes, we're divorced But why do I still feel such a strong urge to cry?” Kathleen muttered

Charles was stumped

"Shouldn't be loathing that man and be happy about his condition instead?* Kathleen sniffled. “Whydo i feel so miserable about this?"

Charles circled his sister in his embrace to coax her gently “Because you're a kind lady, Katie Nomatter how much Samuel hurts you, you would still care about him This just means that you're akind person it doesn't have to do with anything else

“Will he dier Kathleen sobbed

in hol a doctor So I cant answer that question But, the Macari family is loaded They can afford tohere the best doctors money can get He's not really that sick anyway it's going to be all right.”Charles

said in an attempt to soothe her.

“No, that's not it.” Kathleen's eyes were red, “He's severely injured from his previous attempts ofhurting himself. I realized that when I checked his pulse last time. Normal doctors won't be able totreat him. He needs a combination of different treatments, but he...”

"Katiel” Charles pressed his hands down on her shoulders and said in a clipped tone, “Don’toverthink this. The fact that he can be discharged from the hospital means that his condition isn'tthat serious Don't worry about him too much. He's young, powerful, handsome, and rich. There's noway he's going to give up such a perfect life. I bet that he hasn't had enough fun in his life yet. Thiscould be a ploy to fish for your sympathy. Do you understand?”

Kathleen stared at Charles blankly, “A ploy to fish for my sympathy?”

"Yes So, please don't think about him anymore,” Charles said as he leveled a stare at his sisterKathleen sniffled

“You're on leave today. Just take a good rest at home. I'm heading to the office,” he said grimly“Okay Kathleen nodded

Charles got up and headed toward the door.

He paused in his tracks and turned around before saying to Maria, “Take good care of Ms. Johnson.”“Yes, sir.”

Charles then turned around to leave.

Kathleen went back to her room.

She reached into her pocket and felt a piece of note in there.

Tyson had handed that to her the day before,

He asked her to head to the place written on the nate.

She thought for a moment and hurriedly changed into an all-black attire before leaving the Johnsonresidence.

After an hour, she arrived at a mountainside

Cars weren't allowed to drive into the mountainside.

Hence, she got out of the car and walked

After walking for about ten minutes, she saw a cemetery

Is this the place?

She walked inside the cemetery

An old man guarding the entrance asked, “Who are you looking for?

Tyson asked me to come here,” Kathleen sald blankly “I don’t know who I'm looking for

The old man cyed her from head to toe and uttered, “Oh, so it's Mrs Macan”

Kathleen was stumped.

“This is the cemetery of the Macari family,” the old man explained. “I know why Tyson asked you tocome here. Please follow me, Mrs. Macari.”

"Sir, actually, Samuel Macari and I are already divorced,” she said quietly

"Oh," the man uttered in a hoarse voice.

Then, he said nothing else.

Kathleen followed him to the most corner spot of the cemetery.

“It's right here.” The old man pointed at a grave not far from them.

“Thank you.” Kathleen muttered and headed there.

She was taken aback at the sight of the epitaph on the tombstone.

My dear children.

Father. Samuel Macari,

Kathleen then wondered if it was the tombstone that Samuel had put up for his two children.

Her agitated heart calmed down right away.

“It's been a year. Mr. Macari would come over every other day and just stand right here as he looksat the tombstone,” the old man said.

"Does he come here very often?” Kathleen asked softly

"Every other day.” The old man let out a sigh. “Tyson said that he must be missing you so badly thathe made an effort to come here even after he was just discharged from the hospital and despite hisillness.”

"What good does it do though?” said Kathleen as she mused.

“Mrs. Macari, no one can be sure that they won't cammit a single mistake throughout their wholelife.

eeling miserable as well. How could he be so vicious to harm or even murder his own children?”Kathleen crouched to take a better look at the inscription on the tombstone. “Sir, I've forgiven himbefore. I asked him to help me break Nicolette's leg. But he didn't do it, and he lied to me. That'swhy I left. I just wanted him to do our children justice.”

“Mrs. Macari, of course, Mr. Macarl has his faults too. As an outsider, I can't make further commentson this. But If you really think that way, please also consider what he's said and done after that. Hedid make Nicolette pay, and he hurt himself too. He's atoning for his mistakes.”

Kathleen kept quiet.

“Mrs. Macari, Mr. Macarl would've been gone If he hadn't been able to receive treatment in time.”The old man sighed. “You may want to consider asking yourself If you really want him to be gone,Mrs. Macari”

“No, never” Kathleen denied it outright. “That thought has never crossed my mind. He's the oneInsisting that I do.”

“Mrs. Macari, since he's already atoning for his mistakes, why are you still feeling so miserable? Doyou still have feelings for Mr. Macari? Is it because you can't accept the fact that you have feelingsfor him? He has hurt you and your children, so you think that you shouldn't just let him off the hookthat easily and forgive him. Yet, you can't stop yourself from harboring feelings for him. Instead ofblaming him, you're actually feeling guilty about your own feelings, right?”

Tears rolled down Kathleen's face immediately.

The old man let out a sigh. “You're a silly girl. You think that you're tormenting Mr. Macari, butyou're actually tormenting yourself.”
