Chapter 471 Can You Adopt Me “No, of course not.” Levi shook his head. Why would there be aproblem? There's no way they'd do anything to her. “Let's go. Everyone isalready seated.” Levibrought Kathleen to the dining room and sat down. Betty was absent from the dining table due toher health condition; the maid had sent the meal to her room. “Mr.

Lester, about Old Mrs.

Lester's condition—" Kathleen looked at Anthony.

“Kate, eat up.

My husband has something to tend to, so he'll be late, but us Lesters are all around.” Yvonne putsome food onKathleen's plate before she even finished speaking. Us Lesters? Kathleen coulddefinitely feel that something was off. “I—" she began. Anthony interrupted with a half-smile, “Ms.Johnson, you don't have to worry.

We asked Levi to invite you here because we believe in your medical skills.” Kathleen spoke faintly.“Old Mrs.

Lester is old.

It's quite risky for her to undergo surgery.” The old woman was eighty years old, after all. “Do younot have confidence, too?” Anthony queried. “Thoughl'm confident, you'll never know what's goingto happen on the operating table.

Since you've made a decision, I shall arrange for Old Mrs.

Lester to be admitted to the hospital and keep a close eye on her condition before taking the nextstep.

What do you think?” said Kathleen

Anthony nodded in agreement.

“All right.

We'll listen to you.”

"Okay."

"Kate's medical skills are so impressive.

We should believe in her.

Let's eat, shall we?” Yvonne urged. Everyone began eating. As Kathleen ate slowly, Yvonne, who wassitting next to her, wouldn't stop addingfood to her plate. Kathleen was never a big eater, so it wasimpossible for her to finish all the food that was piled on her plate like a tiny mountain. Cansomeone please help me finish some? After the meal, the Lesters all went to the study. Kathleen,who was stuffed, decided to take a walk in the garden to help her digest better. When she walkednear the gate, she saw a black car parked outside and a tall figure standing beside the car. Thefigure exuded immense loneliness that couldn't be ignored. Her heart clenched and she strodetoward the figure, which turned out to be Samuel. The man glanced sideways at her with anunfathomable look in his eyes. “It's really you.

Why are you here?” She frowned slightly. “You don't want me anymore.” Samuel's voice was husky.She pursed her lips.

“Then why are you here?” “I miss you, so I came to see you,” he replied hoarsely. “Then?” she asked.He paused for a whilebefore saying, “Can you please adopt me?” She didn't know how to respondto that. He stared at her quietly and waited for her response. “I bet there are a lot of women outthere who are willing to adopt you,” she said after some time. “But I only want you to adopt me.Can't you consider giving me a chance? Although I've lost my memory, I'm a pretty good catch.”There was a hint of distress inhis deep voice. She took a deep breath as she looked at his bloodshoteyes.

“Fine.

I'll give you a chance.”

He curved his lips.

“Are you staying here tonight?” “Yeah.” She nodded. “I'm staying in the hotel tonight.

Are you coming?” He walked forward and looked at her through the gaps of the gate. As there wasa gate between them, he couldn't touch her. Yet, there was eagernessand hope in his eyes. “No,” sherejected him. A disappointed expression appeared on his face. “You took a plane and flew here assoon as you woke up?” She took a step forward. He nodded:

"Yeah.

I'm afraid you'd punish me again if I was late.” “I never punished you.” He reached out and grabbedher hand through the gaps of the gate.

“Are you still mad?” “I'm not mad,” she replied indifferently. “But you were jealous.” Kathleen wasspeechless. “What are you doing here at the Lester residence?"he questioned. “I'm here to treat OldMrs.

Lester's illness,” she answered. He looked at her with affection in his eyes.

"I see.

You should go inside.

Nardor’s quite chilly, especially during nighttime.

Your hands feel cold.” Samuel's palm was dry and warm. Kathleen looked at him.

"Okay.

You should get some rest, too.” She retracted her hand from his grip and turned to leave. As shewalked away, he stood at the gate and watched until shedisappeared from his sight. Only then didhe heave a sigh of relief and return to the car. Tyson, who was gripping the steering wheel, wasbeside himself with excitement. He was confident that Kathleen and Samuel were going to gettogether again. This is great news! I was so worried! “Mr.

Macari, are we going back to the hotel?” he asked when Samuel got back in the car. “Youshould goback yourself.” Samuel leaned back on the car seat and closed his eyes. Tyson was shocked to hearthat. Is he planning to wait here until they open the gates the next morning? “Mr.

Macari, I don't think it's a good idea for you to wait here.

What would they think of Mrs.

Macari when they see you waiting for her? Why don't you return to the hotel and come back hereearly in the morning?” Tyson tried persuading. However, Samuelremained silent. “Mr.

Macari, if you stay here, I'm sure Mrs.

Macari would get mad at you when she sees you the next morning,” threatened Tyson. Samuelgulped and said, “Let's go back.” “All right.” Tyson smiled happily, relieved thatSamuel finallylistened to his advice. Using Mrs.

Macari's name is always the best solution. The next day, Kathleen was going to bring Betty to one ofthe best hospitals in Nardor to get aphysical checkup. When they were about to head out, Kathleensaw Samuel again. As soon as she stepped out of the opened gates, Samuel reached out his arms tohold her. He didn't get to embrace her the day before, and he regretted it as soon as he got back tothe hotel. They should've at least hugged after they were on good terms again. Kathleen placed herhand on his and asked, "Have you been waiting here for a long time?” “Yeah.

I miss you.” Samuel's voice was dull. I couldn't wait to see you. She chuckled in amusement.

"Why are you so clingy? You're like a child!” “Who says adults can't be clingy?” he asked. “All right,let me go first.

I need to bring Old Mrs.

Lester to the hospital.” “Okay.” He let her go obediently. Subsequently, he grabbed her hand andput the diamond ring on her finger. “Don’t you ever lose itagain,” he reminded. “I won't.

I have to go.” She put her hand down. “I'll go and pick you up after you're done.” After she noddedin response, he loweredhis head to plant a kiss on her lips. Her lips are so soft! Kathleen's cheeksflushed red as she said bashfully, “What are you doing? We're at the gates of someone else's place.”“So what? We're a couple.

Isn't it normal for couples to kiss?” Samuel curled his lips into a smile and gazed at her lovinglybefore saying, “Go ahead.” “All right.

See you.” She turned and got into the car that was parked by the side. Betty and Yvonnewerealready waiting in the car. Kathleen waved at him through the window and watched as he hoppedinto his car as well. Tyson asked, “Where are we going, Mr.

Macari?”

“Let's go to Lester Group.
