Chapter 225 Taking Back The PicturesKathleen was at a loss for words.Charles is at Caleb's place?”lcalled him over,” admitted Caleb sheepishly. “But I wasn't being sneaky or anything. My sister issometimes lucid, sometimes not. She said she wanted to see your brother."Kathleen nodded inunderstanding.”I'm leaving now.” Caleb opened the door, only to see Samuel standing there.Theexpression he bore was dark as he glared at them, but he was also quite out of breath.Seeing Calebcoming out of Kathleen's room, Samuel was clearly unhappy.”Well, I'm off, then.” Caleb pattedKathleen's head and turned away.For some reason, Kathleen was a little embarrassed.She looked atSamuel and asked, “Why are you here?"“I heard there was a power outage.” She could see Samuel'sAdam's apple bobbing as he spoke.And you're afraid of the dark.”I'm all right. Caleb happened tobe around,” replied Kathleen. So that's why he's here.Samuel pursed his thin lips.She must havebeen terrified at that time, but there was another man by her side. Caleb was smiling so heartilybefore I arrived, too.Something agitated Samuel, and he began to cough.Kathleen immediatelywalked over to support him. “Come in and sit down.”“Okay.” Samuel nodded and walked intoKathleen's room.A cursory glance of the room showed that it was spick and span.His breathsuddenly eased quite a little. Kathleen helped him onto the bed and sat down. “Why are you pantingso much?"“The power has just been restored, and the elevator can't be used yet. I was worried thatyou'd be afraid and alone, so I ran all the way up here.” Samuel's breathing had yet to slowdown."You should mind your physical condition.” Kathleen frowned.”I'm worried about you.” Samuellooked at her deeply, his voice getting lower and lower. “I was truly worried.””l know," Kathleen said.“But you can't do anything too strenuous for a while. What if something happens?"“Okay.” Samuelwas very obedient.Kathleen breathed a sigh of relief.Samuel looked at the table beside him andasked, “You haven't eaten yet?""Yeah,” Kathleen said. “Caleb sent this over. He made ithimself.”Samuel didn't speak. Why, I could do this tool“Have you eaten? Would you like to sharesome?” Kathleen asked.Samuel shook his head. He couldn't stomach anything his rival made. Whydid I not think of this sooner?“I've spoken to Caleb. He promised to give me the medicines,” saidKathleen between bites of food.Samuel pursed his lips.He could feel a certain ache in the depths ofhis heart.”By the way, aren't you leaving?” Kathleen asked in confusion.”l just came.” Samuel lookedat her deeply.Kathleen took a sip of water before replying, “But I'm going to sleep.”Are you drivingme away, then? I'm guessing something happened between the two. They looked odder thanusual. Samuel did not care that Caleb knew how to make women happy. What he was concernedabout was Kathleen's heart.Kathleen did not look at Samuel, but she knew exactly what he wasthinking.“I'm going back.” Samuel stood up, a gloomy expression on his face.Kathleen pursed herlips. “All right."Samuel walked to the door and then stopped to look at Kathleen.Kathleen paid himno mind; her gaze was directed at the window in front of her.This made Samuel hurt even more.Hepursed his lips and turned away. guess this is how she felt when she saw me and Nicolette. Orperhaps it was likely more gut-wrenching than this. Tit for tat. I dare say this is retribution.At theLewis residence, Charles had his gaze directed at Caleb.Vivian was somewhat lucid, but she weavedin and out of clarity and her muddled senses.Charles felt a sharp twang of pain in his chest.Vivianwas the woman he loved, and now she was reduced to a shell of a person.It was really hard for himto accept things.”Charles, why am I here?” Vivian's pale and bloodless face revealed doubts.“Shouldn't we be in Pollerton, in school? Where is this place?"*Vivian, this is your home,” Charlessaid after a deep sigh.“My home?” Vivian's eyes darted left and right as she looked at her unfamiliarsurroundings. “Are you kidding me? My home is very beautiful. The decor is warm, homely, andquite romantic. You've even been there before, and you're saying this is my home?"Charles lookedat Vivian with obvious heartache.It was true that she used to be quite a stylish person.To see herreduced to this, he was sad."Vivian, this truly is your home,” said Charles with emphasis.”You're lyingto me!” Vivian frowned. “No, why am I bound? Hurry up and let me go!“Charles wanted to let go ofher, but he couldn’t.In the day, Vivian had the tendency to harm herself.“Vivian, do you stillremember what your room looked like?” Charles asked.Vivian tilted her head and recalled, “I couldsee tall skyscrapers from my window. They were so beautiful at night, but I can't see anything frommy window now. How could this be my room?”Charles pursed his lips.“My room also has a retrocarpet, a lot of furniture, and a lot of beautiful clothes. Wait, was I not wearing a caramel-coloreddress before? What is this?"With that said, Vivian removed all her clothing.Charles held her handand said coldly, “Vivian, that dress was soiled, so you sent it for cleaning. Have youforgotten?"“Soiled?” Vivian looked at him blankly.”Yes. I'll go get it for you tomorrow,” said Charlessoothingly.Soiled? My dress?Vivian felt a pain in her head.She then let out a bark of strangelaughter. “Well, of course! I didn’t soil my skirt! It's me who's completely ruined!“Charles shot a lookat her. “But you're not!"“Oh, but I am. I am!” Vivian cried. “Charles, I'm unclean! I was bulliedbecause I did not want to break up with him. He then made those guys do things to me. They tookpictures!”Pictures?Charles frowned. “Do you know where the pictures are?"Vivian shook herhead.”Don’t be afraid. I will help you get them back.” Charles hugged Vivian. “But you have to begood, okay?"“Okay.” Vivian immediately became calmer.”Be good and take your medicine. Listen tome.” Charles truly hurt to see her that way.Vivian pouted. “But the medicine is so bitter! The otherlady has given me so many bitter pills to swallow!"“That little girl is my sister, and this is for yourown good. I'll bring you candy next time, okay?” Charles’ voice was hoarse.“Really?” Vivian blinked.“You don't dislike me even though I am unclean? You'll come back to visit me?"“Of course I will!"Charles reached out to pat Vivian on the head. “You're so pure. You're like an angel to me!"Vivianbeamed at him. “Charles, the next time you come, remember to buy a silk scarf for me, okay? I wantto get my hair done. Maybe I'll dye it a burgundy red!""Okay,” Charles agreed.At this time, thehousekeeper came over with her medicine.Vivian furrowed her brows when she saw thetinctures.Charles took the bowl and said, “Come on, I'll feed you."Vivian hesitated for a moment andmoved back.Charles was very patient as he fed her the medicine.
