Chapter 201 You Will Be Fine

Samuel hummed in response. His handsome face was very pale.”It seems that someone mixedpoison into your infusion.” Kathleen furrowed her brows and continued, “I think you should askTyson to take a look. Don't just—"Samuel suddenly felt dizzy and collapsed in Kathleen'sdirection.Kathleen held him, only to realize that his body was feverish to the touch."Wakeup!”Kathleensaidurgently,”Samuel!"Samuel put up a strong front and replied, “Tyson is out runningerrands for me. I came alone.”Kathleen pursed her lips.“Just leave me here. As long as no one seesme being so weak, it'll be fine,” said Samuel in a hoarse voice.”Leave you here?” Kathleen soundedincredulous. “Then what they will replace tomorrow is your corpse, bleeding out from seven differentorifices.”"Samuel said nothing in response.In his mind, he noted that Kathleen's body was quite soft.Leaning against her was comforting.If I just close my eyes, it'll be fine. At least I'd die in herembrace.Kathleen really couldn't support Samuel, who was about a hundred and eighty-eightcentimeters tall.She dragged Samuel out and lowered him onto a couch.However, she soon noticedthat she did not have a phone on her.Kathleen walked over to Samuel and felt about his pockets.Fortunately, he still had his.”Don't call my father. He'd panic and turn the world upside down,”Samuel slurred as he drifted in and out of consciousness.Kathleen knew what he was worriedabout.After all, which parents do not worry about their children?Letting Calvin know would plungethe Macari family into chaos, and the news would only spread even faster.Kathleen nodded inagreement.As she mulled over whom to contact, she realized that she only memorized one person'sphone number and promptly dialed it."Samuel, what is the meaning of this?” Charles said in a lowvoice. “Why are you calling me?"“Sam, it's me.” Kathleen was unable to explain the situation.Charlesfrowned. “Kate!"What's going on? Didn't she attend the banquet with Caleb? Why would she useSamuel's phone to call me?“Can you come pick me up?” asked Kathleen."What's wrong?” Charlessuddenly went on high alert. “Did something happen?"“You'll know when you get here, but youcannot raise an alarm,” Kathleen urged.”Okay.” Charles agreed.Ten minutes later, Charlesarrived.Kathleen immediately dragged him inside.Charles was speechless when he saw Samuel lyingthere.”Let me guess. This meeting was somehow fated?" asked Charles with an arched brow.”Stopasking me questions. I need you to help me replace a way to get Samuel out. He was poisoned andmust be treated as soon as possible,” Kathleen said.”All right. Just move him out, then,” said Charlesfaintly.”If I could do that on my own, why would I need to call you?” Kathleen hissed."True.” Charlespursed his lips and thought for a bit before speaking again. “I'll pretend that we've both had toomuch to drink and take him outside.”Kathleen’s mouth twitched slightly. “For the love of god, havesome sense. Anyone can share a drink, but the two of you? What if someone sees you? And ifyou've had too much to drink together, what would people think?"“They will think that I haveaccepted Samuel, so you and Samuel are definitely going to remarry,” Charles said quietly.”Exactly.”Kathleen pursed her lips. “Think harder.”"I'll use the back entrance then,” Charles said coldly. “I'mfamiliar with this place, so no one will see me.”Okay,” murmured Kathleen.Charles helped Samuelup and asked, “Are we taking him to the hospital?”Kathleen looked at Samuel's pale face. “No, takehim to our house."Charles said nothing.”Just get him outside. I'll notify Caleb before leaving.”Having said that, Kathleen turned around and left.Charles gave Samuel a sideways glance. “Do youknow how much you owe my sister? You have hurt her so many times, but she still spares no effortto help you. Samuel Macari, you should really count your blessings.”Unfortunately, Samuel did notanswer. He seemed to have truly fainted.Kathleen returned to the scene and noticed that Caleb waslooking for her."Where did you run off to?” Caleb then gave her the once over. “Are youokay?"Kathleen nodded her head. “Of course I'm okay. By the way, I really should get going."Calebfrowned. “What's the rush? I still want to dance with you.” Another time,” said Kathleen.”I'll drop youoff,” said Caleb in resignation. He was not going to force her to stay.”No need.” Kathleen shook herhead gently. “My brother is here to pick me up and he is waiting for me outside. I'll just leave withhim. You should stay and enjoy yourself. Goodbye."After saying that, Kathleen turned around andleft.She took her coat, put it on, and headed for the door.Caleb looked at her retreating backquietly, his eyes somber.She seems to be in a hurry. But since she doesn’t want me to know, I won'task. Hmm, I'm still curious though.Kathleen walked out of the party.Charles brought the car aroundwith Kathleen sitting at the back.The first thing she did when she got into the car was to checkSamuel's condition.At the same time, she took out her mobile phone to call Maria, asking her toprepare for their arrival."Yes, I need you to fill a tub with hot water and put those herbs in,” urgedKathleen. “Turn the heating on and make sure the room is warm too.”“Okay,” said Maria.Kathleenhung up the phone and looked at Charles. “Charles, hurry.”"We're almost there.” Charlessnorted.Kathleen frowned, and she looked at Samuel worriedly.They soon arrived at the Johnsonresidence.Charles helped Kathleen get Samuel out and brought him into the villa.The two of themthen tried to help Samuel up the stairs.”Go to the bathroom,” said Kathleen.Charles then promptlybrought Samuel there as instructed.In the bathroom, Kathleen took off Samuel's jacket and suitfirst.”I'll handle this,” said Charles to Kathleen. “You should prepare the other stuff."Kathleennodded, turned around, and left.Charles closed the door, took off Samuel's clothes, and put him inthe bathtub.Soon, Kathleen returned with silver needles.Her coat had been removed, and her longblack hair was tied into a ponytail.Holding the silver needles, she stuck them into several importantacupoints.She then picked up his right hand, pricked the index finger, and squeezed hard.A blackblood trail flowed down his fingertips to the ground.Charles was surprised. “He waspoisoned?“Kathleen nodded. “Somebody put poison in his infusion.”“How sinister.” Charles wasshocked.”l don't know who it is.” Kathleen frowned. She raised her hand and brushed away Samuel'sruffled hair.Charles looked at Kathleen pointedly. “Do you still love him?“Kathleen's fingertipstrembled, but she didn't answer.Charles sighed. “Why is it so difficult for you to let him go? Hasn'the hurt you enough? Sure, he seems repentant now, but what if he encounters another woman inthe future and he still treats you like this? What then?"“I never said I wanted to be with him again,”said Kathleen helplessly. “Go and mind the tinctures I'm brewing in the kitchen, please."Charles wasspeechless.”Go on,” said Kathleen urgently.”Fine.” Charles got up and left.Kathleen breathed a sighof relief.She looked at Samuel's pale yet handsome face and said in a hoarse voice, “Samuel, you'regoing to be okay.”
