"All right.” Kathleen nodded.

Smirking, Samuel said, “Don't think about helping him to save money.”

“No matter how much I can eat, that amount of money is nothing to him.” Kathleen shrugged. “I'llgo get ready.”

"Go ahead.” Samuel stared deeply at her.

With that, Kathleen went ahead to get ready.

Meanwhile, Samuel stood at the side and watched her in silence while she put on her makeup.PlayvolumeAd

Holding the cotton, Kathleen shot him a sideways glance. “Why do you keep standing there?”

“I want to look at you. I don't think I ever looked at you like this before.” Samuel's gaze darkened.They had spent quite a long time together, yet he had never seen Kathleen putting on makeup.Since they were husband and wife, it would only make sense that they knew each other well. Theywould have witnessed anything the other party had done.

Yet, he had never paid attention to her.

Kathleen could no longer hold herself back. “There are still many years ahead for you to look at me.I bet you'll get sick of me soon.”

With his arms crossed, Samuel retorted, “What if I won't?”

Kathleen grabbed the lipstick and applied a thin layer to her rosy lips. She rose to her feet andflashed him a bright smile. “You'd better not speak too soon.”

Samuel replied seriously, “Let's wait and see.”

“Let's go,” Kathleen said calmly.

“Have you thought about what to eat?” Samuel grabbed her by the waist.

“You can decide for me. I don't feel like wasting my energy on this,” Kathleen replied lazily.

“Now you have a chance to make him pay, yet you don't seize the opportunity.” Samuel smiled.Shrugging, Kathleen replied, “I've asked enough for Felicia’s medical fees.”

Samuel chuckled as he knew that Kathleen would not stand by and watch even if others did nothave the money.

Soon, the two came out of Florinia Manor and drove to their destination.

In the end, Leonard was the one who decided on the place for their meal.

When Samuel and Kathleen arrived at the restaurant, Leonard had already waited at the table for along time.

Kathleen deliberately glanced at the time and asked, “When did you arrive?”

"Quite some time ago.” A complicated look filled Leonard's eyes.

Samuel pulled the chair and gestured for Kathleen to take a seat first.

As soon as Kathleen sat down, she shot Leonard a look. “You don't look well. It seems likesomething unfortunate might happen to you soon.”

Leonard was rendered speechless.

Then, Samuel reached out to the coffee pot.

“Let me do it,” said Kathleen, for she could not let Samuel serve her.

Thus, she took the pot and poured some coffee for Samuel and herself.

Leonard glared at them coldly. “Could you two stop with your public display of affection right infront of me?”

“How is this considered displaying affection when I was merely pouring him some coffee?” Kathleengave him a baffled look before she continued, “What's wrong with you and Kelly? And what's withyour indignant acts?”

Leonard muttered, “I don't get her.”

"What do you mean?” Kathleen asked curiously.

“Didn't you say I shouldn't tell her that I only married her for the sake of the child? I talked to her,but instead of listening to me, she insisted on going for the in vitro fertilization procedure,” Leonardexplained helplessly.

Kathleen was shocked. “Have you two researched what in vitro fertilization is?”

Nodding, Leonard replied, “Of course. I was worried that she didn’t know much about it, so Ibrought her to the doctor for consultation. She insisted on going for artificial insemination. I askedher if she didn't want to get intimate with me, and she actually admitted.”

Kathleen was at a loss for words as she recalled her previous conversation with Kelly.

Didn't she take my words into consideration?

Kathleen asked composedly, “So, are you trying to have me persuade her?”

“Could you?” Leonard questioned bitterly.

“No. If she refuses to sleep with you, there's nothing I can do,” Kathleen said directly.

“All right.” Leonard took a sip of the coffee.

In truth, he merely wanted to talk to someone and vent his frustration.

After pondering for a moment, Kathleen asked, “Have you two talked things out with each other?”Leonard nodded. “I was really calm.”

He was worried that Kelly would feel pressured, so he did not show any hint of emotions in front ofher.

"How about this? I'll help you replace out what she has in mind.” Kathleen was resigned too.

Leonard rarely requested Kathleen to do anything, so she would try her best to help him.

“Thank you, and sorry for the trouble,” Leonard thanked.

“It's nothing. I'm going to the hospital in the afternoon anyway, so I'll help you ask her,” Kathleenreplied.

Hearing that, Leonard gave her a slight nod.

Kathleen went to the hospital after the meal.

She soon arrived at Felicia's ward and saw Kelly taking care of the former.

"Kathleen? You're alive! That's great! I was really happy when I received the news yesterday thatyou're still alive!” Kelly stood up.

Kathleen stepped into the ward. “I've been following up on Felicia's condition.”

"She was still conscious just a moment ago, but she’s fallen asleep now,” Kelly stated.

“Her condition is deteriorating. How long more are you and Leonard going to let the matter dragon?"

Kelly was stunned.

“Kelly, what's on your mind?” Kathleen frowned

An awkward look appeared on Kelly's face. “Kathleen, I—"

“Considering Felicia's current condition, I think you should know the limit even if you're mad atLeonard.” The crease between Kathleen's brows deepened.

“But...” Kelly hesitated for a moment. “It's not guaranteed that I can conceive successfully throughthe natural method. I merely think that artificial insemination is more convenient, but Leonardmisunderstood me.”

Kathleen was tongue-tied.

"Did he look for you?” Kelly asked, looking guilty. “I'm sorry. I wanted to talk things out with him,but he ignored me.”

"Kelly, there's no guarantee that you can conceive successfully through artificial insemination too. Iadvised you to opt for the natural way for the sake of your health. As for you and Leonard, whywould you even fight over a small matter like this? How silly,” Kathleen explained helplessly.

Kelly revealed, “I've been feeling like everything is different from how it used to be.”

"You two have broken up for a long time. Moreover, people change. They tend to develop differentviews and thoughts as they change. That's the reason why many couples end up parting ways. Sinceyou two are back together, just be a little more patient.”

Kelly nodded, agreeing to Kathleen's words.

The latter eventually let out a sigh and said, “Call him. I'll take care of Felicia.”

“I don't think that's a good idea.” Kelly was embarrassed.

“It's fine. Go ahead and call him,” Kathleen replied coldly.

"Okay. I'll be right back.” Kelly grabbed her phone and went out.

Kathleen walked to the edge of the bed.

She checked Felicia’s pulse. Everything seems fine.

Right then, someone pushed open the door and walked in.

Kathleen looked up. “Why are you still here?”

"Who's going to send you home if I leave?” Samuel knitted his brows.

“I thought there's something in the company you need to deal with. I can hail a cab,” repliedKathleen.

“It's all settled.” Samuel stood aside.

“Oh.” Kathleen nodded.

Then, she placed Felicia’s hand under the blanket.

"Samuel, thank you for taking care of Eil and Desi since they were still babies.” Kathleen's voice wassoft.

Samuel looked up. “I'm their father. That's what I should do, so you don't have to thank me.”“You're such a great person.” Kathleen wore a gentle smile.

Opposite her, Samuel merely stared in silence.

These days, he would always feel contented just by looking at her.

“Felicia reminds me of Desi,” Kathleen stated with a lowered tone.
