Chapter 348 Who Is He Kathleen nodded and gave a brief response. With a gentle tone, Calebasked, “So, can I take care of you in the future?” Kathleen did not understand his intention earlier. Itwas at that moment when she finally got it. Frowning, she apologized, “I'm sorry, Mr. Lewis. I've lostmy memory, so I can't accept your offer. My wound will be healed soon once I have the medicine. Idon't need anyone to take care of me.” Caleb was at a loss for words. The Kathleen in front of himlooked like the Kathleen he knew, yet they were different. At that moment, Samuel returned,bringing Desi along with him. Caleb snorted. What a cunning man! He failed to win Kathleen's heart,so he's using familial ties now.
“Mommy!” Desi ran to the bed with some flowers in her hands. It was obvious that they were freshlyplucked. “Mommy, these are for you.” Desi grinned, exposing her little canine teeth. A smileappeared on Kathleen's lips. “Thank you. But how did you get these flowers on the ship?” “Thecruise is stopped by an island now. She went down to pick them just now,” Samuel explained.Kathleen nodded. “Mommy, does your wound still hurt?” Desi asked worriedly. “It doesn't hurtanymore. Thank you.” Kathleen caressed Desi's hand. “Get well soon, okay? I still want to go to theamusement park with you. Eil, too! I just called him to tell him I've found you, and he's really happyabout it.” Desi sounded very excited. Kathleen put on a warm smile. “All right. I'll bring both of youto the amusement park when I'm well.” Desi beamed. “Okay! Rest well, Mommy. I'll go out to playnow.” “Sure. Go ahead,” Kathleen responded gently. Desi handed the flowers to Samuel andreminded him, “Daddy, don't forget to place these in a vase. I plucked these for Mommy.”
"Of course. I won't forget.” Samuel took the flowers from the little girl, who skipped out of the roomafter. “You sly fox,” Caleb mocked Samuel coldly. Unfazed, the latter bent over and looked atKathleen. “Go back to sleep. I'll bring you the medicine once it's ready.” Kathleen nodded. She wastruly exhausted; she did not want to think too much about anything. Caleb understood hercondition. Hence, he had no choice but to follow Samuel out of the room. Upon stepping outside,he snorted at Samuel and strode off. Meanwhile, Samuel lowered his gaze, wondering who Kathleenwould choose.
Regardless, he would respect whatever decision she made. He did not have much time left, anyway.The next day, Kathleen and the others arrived at Jadeborough. As to where Kathleen was going torecuperate, Samuel, Charles, and Caleb each had different opinions on it, which got them into anargument. Sitting in the wheelchair, Kathleen said coldly, “Why are you three debating sopassionately among yourselves? Have you forgotten I'm the one who makes the final call, not youthree?” Instantly, the three men fell quiet. “Mommy, I'll follow you wherever you go.” Desi heldKathleen's hand tightly, unwilling to let go. “Kate—" Caleb was about to speak when Kathleenrejected him immediately.
“Mr. Lewis, I'm not going to the Lewis residence. Mr. Macari, please help me get a car. I have ahouse in Jadeborough.” “Okay.” Samuel nodded. He would not attempt to change Kathleen'sdecisions. It did not matter where she lived. He was fine with it as long as she was in Jadeboroughand somewhere within his sight all the time. “Daddy, can I stay with Mommy?" Desi asked eagerly.With a gentle voice, Samuel answered, “Mommy needs to rest for now. Once she’s better, you canstay with her as long as you want. Okay?" “Okay.” Desi nodded resignedly. “It's fine. Let Desi staywith me. I'll replace a housekeeper to take care of our daily needs,” said Kathleen. “All right,” Samuelquickly agreed.
“Mommy, I'm sure Eil would like that, too,” Desi added softly. She had not forgotten to ask on Eil'sbehalf. Kathleen cast Samuel a glance. “Is that okay?” “Are you sure you can take care of twochildren?” Samuel asked with concern. Kathleen nodded. “Yes. I'll be fine soon when the medicine ishere.” Naturally, Samuel listened to her. “Okay.” “Sorry for troubling you,” Kathleen said lightly. “Getin the car, then. I'll bring you guys there.” After saying that, Samuel opened the car door. SinceKathleen was seated in the wheelchair, he scooped her up and walked to the car. Seeing that, Desicovered her mouth and giggled. Meanwhile, Charles gazed at Desi intently. He knew he could notget too involved in Kathleen and Samuel's matters. After all, they had children together. No doubt,the children were the priority in their decision-making. That was something no one had controlover. It was also Samuel's advantage. “Kate, I'd like to go over and have a look. I just want to checkwhat your house is like and confirm the address,” Charles piped up with a half-smile. Kathleen gavehim a nod. Caleb was also about to say something, but Samuel beat him to it and uttered coldly,“Mr. Lewis, isn't your company swamped with work today? I was reading the financial news thismorning, and it seems that the company you were planning to purchase is facing a major problem.Shouldn't you hurry over to solve it?” “It must be your doing, right?” Caleb placed the blame onSamuel without thinking twice. Samuel commented nonchalantly, “If it was me, you'd be hearingnews about the Lewis Enterprises going bankrupt.”
"You—" Caleb's gaze darkened. Kathleen, who was still in Samuel's arms, asked, “Mr. Macari, can youplease put me in the car first?” Hearing that, Samuel nodded obediently and placed her in the car.Desi quickly crawled into the vehicle and sat beside Kathleen, hugging the latter tightly. It wasevident how much she liked Kathleen. Afterward, Samuel got into the car as well. Charles glanced atCaleb and consoled, “Don't be too reckless. He's got an advantage.” In response, Caleb huffed. “Youshould hurry and get back to the office. I heard Samuel really has nothing to do with it,” Charlesadvised grimly. “Got it,” responded Caleb coldly. Charles flashed him a subtle smile before enteringhis own car. Forty minutes later, they arrived in front of a mansion. Samuel got down from the car,took the wheelchair out of the trunk, and placed it on the ground. Then, he opened the door to thebackseat, carrying Kathleen out and placing her in the wheelchair. “Mr. Macari, you don't have to doall this for me. I can manage.” “It's a habit. It's hard to change,” explained Samuel with his huskyvoice. Kathleen was rendered speechless. “Let's go in.” With that, Samuel wheeled her into thecourtyard while Desi and Charles followed behind them. Scanning the area, Charles remarked, “Thismansion is not bad. When did you buy it, Kate?” “Three years ago, I think? A rich businessman fromJadeborough wanted to buy my medicine, but he had little cash on him. So, he used this house as amortgage. In the end, I kept it because I found it quite nice,” Kathleen answered. Samuel furrowedhis brows.
"Will your master's subordinates come looking for you here?” “Not for now. The organization isfacing a lot of problems at the moment. He'll ose his grandson if he doesn't solve them,” Kathleensaid. Charles frowned at her words. “Grandson? Who is this old man?”
