Chapter 428 This Is A MiracleOutside the room, Kathleen knitted her brows.She didn't know whySamuel was looking for Ashley.Nonetheless, she let the matter go and walked away from thedoor.Meanwhile, the conversation in the room went on.”We haven't found anything all these years.How come there's suddenly news about her now?” Samuel wondered out loud, a solemn lookevident on his face."Here’s what happened, Mr. Macari. After Ashley was kidnapped back then, theZeller family kept quiet about it because they were worried that something would happen to heragain. They also forbade anyone in the family from spreading the news. It is said that Ashley was sotraumatized to the point of losing part of her memories. Thus, the Zeller family kept the incident asecret for her sake. However, someone managed to dig this up some time ago, which allowed us tofollow the clues and replace her,” Tyson explained.PlayvolumeAd

Samuel nodded. “It's a good thing she’s alive.” Otherwise, he would feel guilty about it for the restof his life.”Mr. Macari, I have another piece of information.” Tyson paused before continuing, “Ashleyis Luna Zeller's niece. The former is very favored by the Zeller family since her parents had her intheir autumn years.”"l got it. I owe her for this incident, after all. It doesn't matter whose niece sheis,” Samuel said calmly.”Do I need to inform Mrs. Macari about this?"Shaking his head, Samueladvised, “There is no need for now.”"All right. I understand,” Tyson said, bobbing his head.”Do notlet anyone know of this,” reminded Samuel with a deep voice.Once again, Tyson nodded.There wasno way he would tell anyone about this. After a while, the two men came out of the study

together. When Samuel returned to the bedroom, Kathleen was nowhere to be found.Heimmediately came back out and went downstairs.Kathleen was sitting by the dining table, havingher breakfast quietly."You're awake?” Samuel uttered as he walked over to her.Kathleen simplynodded without saying anything.”Does your head hurt?” Samuel asked out of concern.”Yes.” Takinga gulp of her juice, Kathleen remarked, “Your head would hurt if you drank, too.”"Her words amusedSamuel. “Didn't you ban me from drinking?”He had listened to her well and abstained from alcoholtotally.In response, Kathleen let out a light snort.Samuel sat down, studying her carefully.Noticingthat there weren't any visible changes in her mood, he figured she had forgotten about last

night. While Kathleen was eating nonchalantly, her phone rang.”Hello?” she said into thephone.Federick’s excited voice came from the other end of the line. “Kate, it's me. Are you at thehospital today? I'l visit you with Madeline. I have something urgent to tell you."Somethingurgent?“Okay,” Kathleen agreed instantly. “I'll go to the hospital and wait for you there.”"Okay.”After that, Federick cut the call, and Kathleen put down her phone."What's the matter?” Samuelinquired.”Federick wants to see me for something urgent. He said he’s coming with Madeline. Idon't know what happened,” said Kathleen with a frown.”I'll go with you to the hospital."Kathleengave him a side-eye and teased, “You're by my side all the time. Are you giving up on your companynow?"Samuel stared at her.”If you keep doing this, your employees might accuse me of seducingyou and keeping you from going to work,” Kathleen argued. “You don't need to come with me. I'llbe fine on my own.”After all, she was a grown-up now.Pursing his lips, Samuel gave in. "Allright.”“Bye!” Kathleen gave him a peck on the cheek and reminded him, “Be careful with yourwrist.”In an instant, the nervousness Samuel had been feeling the entire night dissipated because ofher action. “Okay. I'm going to work now.” After kissing her lips lightly, he stood up and headedout.Tyson was already waiting in the car outside.With Samuel gone, Kathleen heaved a sigh ofrelief.She finished her food and changed her clothes before heading to the hospital.Right after shereached her office, Federick came in with Madeline."Please be seated,” Kathleen said politely. “Whaturgent matter is it that brought you two here?"Federick seemed pumped up, so she guessed it wasnot something bad.”Kate. Madeline... Madeline has changed!” Federick blurted excitedly.Changed?Kathleen shifted her gaze to Madeline and asked with bewilderment, “In what way?"“Ms. Kate,”Madeline called out sweetly.Kathleen froze. The girl used to call her Katie."What's going on?”Kathleen was puzzled.”Ms. Kate, I've returned to normal,” explained Madeline with asmile.Returned... to normal?Hearing those words, Kathleen looked Madeline up and down. “You'recured of autism?"“Daddy brought me to a checkup this morning. My symptoms are very mild now.The doctor said I can be cured if I continue taking medicine and receiving treatment.”Exhilarated,Kathleen wrapped her arms around Madeline. “This is great news!"Federick wiped away his tearsand said, “Isn't this a blessing in disguise?"“It is!” Kathleen beamed.She let go of Madeline and heldthe latter's face with both hands.Madeline was thirteen years old now, almost in the prime of heryouth.Federick was worried sick about her before, but fortunately, she recovered.He was soemotional that he began to shed tears of joy. “Back then, I even thought of asking you to take careof Madeline when her grandmother and I are no longer around.”Madeline’s eyes also started toredden at that point. When Federick and her mother divorced, he was still young.He could havedated someone else, but he did not do so.Instead, he devoted himself to taking care of

Madeline Sitting beside Federick, Madeline noticed that he had grown a lot of white hair.There wasno denying that he had aged a lot.“Thank you, Dad,” said Madeline tearfully.Federick was sobbinguncontrollably by then, and it pained Kathleen to see that.She patted his shoulder and comforted,“Federick, this is a good thing.”"l know," Federick cried. “I am happy. I am beyond happy! If only Icould, I'd let everyone in this world know about this good news!"Kathleen understood hissentiments very well.Federick then said, “Kate, it will be Madeline's birthday in a few days. I want tothrow her a huge birthday party. Remember to come with Samuel.”"Okay, sure."Wiping his tears,Federick stood up. “We'll leave first, then. My mom is still waiting for us at home.”"All right. See yousoon!”After walking them out of the hospital, Kathleen stood by the entrance, watching their leavingfigures.At that moment, Gemma ran out in a hurry. “Kate, I heard that—"Before she could evencontinue, Kathleen embraced her and laughed heartily.Gemma immediately understood.She huggedKathleen back tightly and said with a trembling voice, “This is great news. This is wonderful news!"know!” Kathleen was about to burst into tears. “This is a miracle!"”I feel like nothing else can makeme happier than this,” Gemma said with reddened eyes.The two women expressed their excitementfor a while before releasing each other.Holding Gemma’s hand, Kathleen commented, “This isindeed happy news, but you'll be as happy when Richard proposes to you again."’Don’t evenmention it.” Gemma suddenly pouted. “I don't know why, but he’s been extremely quiet after theproposal. My brother is slowly setting aside his prejudice toward Richard. Now, Richard is the onestaying in the same place and not progressing.”
