Chapter 202 Not Getting PhysicalAfter a while, Charles came in with the tincture and handed it toKathleen. “Is it okay to not send him to the hospital?“Kathleen took it from him. “Are you doubtingmy medical skills?"Charles was embarrassed."You could bring him to a hospital, but they may not beable to treat him on time. They can't think of possible diagnoses soon enough,” said Kathleenfaintly.Charles said nothing.”Charles, help me,” said Kathleen brusquely. “Straighten his head, or Ican't feed him his medicine.”Charles sighed, and he reluctantly helped Samuel up.Kathleen placedthe liquid near Samuel's lips, coaxing him to drink. However, Samuel did not respond.”Just force itin,” said Charles heatedly.Kathleen glared at him, then took a mouthful of medicine and kissedSamuel.She did not falter or hesitate.Charles was rendered speechless at this.Did she just... offerherself up as a sacrifice or something?After about three or four mouthfuls, Kathleen finished feedingSamuel the medicine.She then took a towel and dabbed the corners of his mouth gently.Kathleenglared at Charles. “Don’t you dare!"Charles shrugged and grunted in response.He was not about tosay anything anyway.Kathleen glanced at Samuel.His face was not as pale as it had been at first.Shethen decided to take his pulse again."How is he?” Charles was curious."The toxins have reduced, butit will take time to come to,” Kathleen said calmly. “He might need about a week." That long?”Charles was surprised.“Yeah.” Kathleen nodded.At that moment, Samuel's cell phone rang.Kathleenpicked it up and saw Tyson's name flashing on the screen.”Charles, keep an eye on him forme."Bringing the phone with her, she decided to take the call outside.”Mr. Macari?” came Tyson'shushed tone. “Where are you?"“Tyson, it's me,” murmured Kathleen.Tyson was stunned. “MsJohnson? How did you—""Tyson, Samuel has been poisoned,” Kathleen said coldly. “Check and seeif any of the hospital staff seems suspicious to you. I think someone tampered with his fluids." Tysonwas furious. “Ms. Johnson, you mean to say that someone has deliberately harmed him?"“Yes.”Kathleen nodded."These b*st*rds!” Tyson said angrily. “It must be those people!"“Those people?”Kathleen frowned lightly. “What are you talking about?"“Jacob Stewart. Jacob and his god-forsakenfamily.” Tyson explained, “This b*st*rd has always been jealous of Mr. Macari. He used to do thingsbehind his back. This time, Mr. Macari won the bid for the construction of Flobury. I imagine hemust've been pretty pissed and done this in retaliation.”Jacob Stewart?“Tyson, Samuel told mebefore he passed out that no one should know that he was poisoned,” Kathleen said quietly. “He'llbe staying with me for a week."Tyson was very excited.A week? This is terrific news! But wait amoment..."Ms. Johnson, Mr. Macari must attend the press conference for Flobury in three days,”said Tyson sheepishly. “There will be many important people at that time. This schedule has alreadybeen announced and cannot be changed.”"What will be the consequences if he doesn't show up?”queried Kathleen warily.”Poor public opinion, for one. And it will leave a poor impression, especiallysince so many important people are attending.” Tyson continued, “Actually, the most importantthing is the development of Macari Group. Mr. Macari and the other executives will have everymove planned carefully. Jacob Stewart also has his eye on the prize and seeks to compete with Mr.Macari. However, given that he could not do this head-on, he resorted to such lowly tricks!"Kathleenfrowned in response. “Tyson, Samuel likely won't be conscious for another three days. Knowing hisphysical condition, recovery would take at least a week.”Sighing, Tyson asked, “What can Ido?"Kathleen paused before she responded. “No matter what, you can't reveal that Samuel stayedhere with me.”"Ms. Johnson, don’t worry. My lips are sealed,” said Tyson reassuringly. “I know whatwould happen if this leaked.”"Very well.” Kathleen nodded. “I'll help him get rid of the poison.”"Ms.Johnson, we're fortunate to have you,” Tyson said, moved. “I'd have been a complete mess if I hadto handle this on my own."Kathleen said solemnly, “Also, make sure that nobody at home replaces out.Just tell them he went abroad.” This is easy to say now, but three days later? That's a differentstory.” Tyson could feel pain surging through his temples.That event was truly critical.Kathleen saidcoldly, “I will think of something."“Okay,” replied Tyson.”I'll leave the rest of this to you.” Her tonewas somber.”No problem, Ms. Johnson. Don't worry.”*If anything happens, you can call Samuel's cellphone directly, and I will pick it up. I'll get going now."“Okay,” replied Tyson. “I'll look into thepoisoning.”"Remember, keep a low profile,” Kathleen urged."Yes, I understand.” Tyson hung up thephone.Kathleen put down her hands and sighed.She went to the bathroom.Charles's eyes weregloomy. “What happened?"“This week, Samuel will stay here.” Kathleen's gaze was dark. “Pleasedon't reveal Samuel's whereabouts.”"Don“t worry. I won't,” Charles said calmly. “I never thought he'dbe poisoned like this.”“It's hard to guard against something like this. I never thought someonewould have the audacity to tamper with his fluids.” Kathleen sighed in resignation.”Didn“t he have afriend at the hospital?” Charles reminded.”You mean Richard?” Kathleen frowned. “I doubt he wouldhave known either.”Charles shrugged. “It's fortunate that he met you. Otherwise, he would havedied for sure.”Kathleen said nothing as she looked at Samuel's pale face.”l wonder what you did inyour past life to owe him this much right now.” Charles truly found this hard to fathom, given howcoincidental it was.”l don't know either.” Kathleen looked at Samuel's handsome face.After all, howcould she know what happened in her past life?"Charles, it's almost time. Help me get Samuel out.”Kathleen raised her wrist and glanced at his watch.She had brought over a white bathrobe.Together,they lifted Samuel out of the tub and dressed him in the robe After that, they slowly made their waytoward the bedroom and laid him down gently on the bed.Kathleen said to Charles, “I need a pair ofyour pajamas.”Charles hummed disapprovingly. “I'll wipe him dry. You should go and fetch theclothing. Men and women shouldn't be in such close contact."Kathleen glared at himwordlessly.”Come on, now.” Charles pushed her out of the room.Kathleen was renderedspeechless.Goodness gracious, what reaction is he expecting me to have towards Samuel's body inthe first place? This is ridiculous!She went to Charles's room and came back with a set ofpajamas.Charles then helped Samuel put on his pajamas.Kathleen looked at Charles, who wassweating profusely and said with a smile, “If not for the fact that you're both men, I'd have assumedyou fancied him yourself. Look at you, putting in so much effort!"Charles glared at her.Kathleen onlyoffered a giggle and a wicked grin in response.
