Divorce Anxiety
Chapter 478

Chapter 478 Incident “So, you are still alive.” Samuel was reminded of Richard's pain. Richarddeserves to suffer. He has chosen to believe Elena, after all. “That's right. Are you here to visit thekids?” Gemma said nonchalantly. Samuel nodded. “I saw the news. Congratulations on finallyreconciling with Kate. You two have been through a lot.” She was genuinely happy for them. “Thankyou for helping her take care of the kids,” he expressed his gratitude. “You're being too polite. I amtheir godmother, after all.” Samuel uttered solemnly, “I'll have to rush back later. I'll need tocontinue troubling you with them.” “All right.” Gemma nodded. “How long do you reckon you twowill stay busy?”

“We will return here once Old Mrs. Lester's condition stabilizes,” Samuel replied. “I got it.” Gemmasmiled faintly. “Tell Kate not to worry. I'll make sure the kids are safe and sound.” “Okay.” Samuelpatted his children’s heads. “I'm going back to meet with your Mommy. You two stay at homeobediently and listen to Gemma. Do you hear me?” “Rest assured, Daddy. I'll take good care ofDesi,” said Eilam. The little girl pouted at her brother's words. “I don't need someone to take care ofme. I'm a grown-up now.” Samuel beamed at them affectionately. “Okay. In that case, take goodcare of yourselves.” “Daddy, we will wait for you and Mommy to come back!” Anticipation filledDesiree’s voice. She knew her parents had truly reconciled this time. “Okay.” Samuel nodded. Hestood up, turned around, and left. Desiree held Eilam's hand and chirped, “Eil, Mommy and Daddyare finally back together. They won't split up again after this!” “Yes.” Eilam was delighted too.However, he was not as expressive as his sister. Samuel got into the car heading back to Nardor.Just then, Richard sent him a text message: Samuel, can you help me ask Kathleen where did shebury Gem? Samuel replied: I can't help you, Richard. You're still far too kind toward Elena. She issignificantly related to Gemma’s accident, yet you only held her captive and continued caring forher, providing her with food and drinks. You'll regret this sooner or later. Richard felt anguished. Heresponded: What should I do then? Samuel: Do I need to teach you what to do? Deal with thismatter without letting your feelings cloud your judgment. He placed down his phone after sendingout the message. Then, he took a walk down the memory lane. Nicolette hurt Kathleen, and he hadlet Nicolette off the hook because she saved his life. His decision had allowed Nicolette the chanceto harm Kathleen for a second time. That decision had also became his deepest remorse. He gavethat heartfelt advice to Richard because he did not want Richard to regret his actions. As for Samuel,he would no longer show Nicolette any mercy as well.

An hour later, Samuel arrived at the hospital. He had left the hospital for four hours since hisdeparture earlier. Thus, he figured the surgery should be ending soon. Just as Samuel entered thehospital, Francis exited the elevator. “You're back?” Samuel nodded indifferently. “How's theoperation?” “It's a great success.” Francis grinned. “Kate was simply superb. I heard the doctors andnurses who worked alongside her in the operating theatre compliment her extraordinary medicalskills.” “That goes without saying.” Samuel felt proud. “I'll check on her.” Now that the surgery hadended, he was afraid that the members of the Lester family would inform Kathleen of the entiretruth when she was in that exhausted state. “Go on.” Francis nodded. “I'm going back to grab somethings.” Samuel bobbed his head before going into the elevator. He stepped out of the elevatorupon arriving at the seventh floor. Anthony and the others walked in his direction. “You're back,Samuel. Kate is inside the office. You should go and look for her there,” Suzie uttered. “Thank you.”Samuel strode toward the office at once. The hospital vacated the office at the last minute. In themorning, Samuel had bid his farewell to Kathleen there. He knocked, pushed the door open, andentered. He saw Kathleen sitting on the chair, sleeping. She was obviously worn out. Kathleen hadbeen preparing for the surgery for a few days. In addition, she had to keep herself focused for fourhours straight just now. Therefore, she was overwhelmed by fatigue the moment she was allowed torest. Samuel shuffled lightly to her side, took off his coat, and draped the outerwear on her body.Then, he sat down aside and took out his phone to deal with some matters. Kathleen slept for along time. She did not regain her senses until night fell. “Samuel.” She straightened herself on thechair and saw the coat. Instantaneously, she knew it was his. Due to the unlit surroundings, shefailed to discern Samuel's location momentarily. He stood up, walked to her side, and switched onthe table lamp. “I'm here.” The soft glow from the table lamp illuminated his handsome facialfeatures, which were arranged into a tender expression. “You've worked hard.” Samuel gentlycaressed her face. “Are you still sleepy?” Kathleen shook her head. “I'm feeling much better. Howlong did I sleep?” “Six hours.” He curled his thin lips. “Are you hungry?” “A little.” She stroked herstomach. “Let's visit Old Mrs. Lester before we have our meals.” “Sure.” Samuel nodded. Kathleengot to her feet, returned Samuel his coat, and picked up her own outerwear before exiting theroom. They arrived at the entrance of Betty's ward and glanced inside the room. The elderly lady didnot require any family members to stay and accompany her that night because there wereprofessional doctors and nurses taking care of her. Kathleen briefly examined Betty's conditionbefore leaving with Samuel. They walked out of the hospital together. Nardor's environment wascomfortable as the temperature was just right. “Let's take a walk, Samuel,” Kathleen piped up."Okay." He nodded. Kathleen knew Samuel's leg had yet to recover. However, the hotel was merelya five-minute walk from the hospital. “Did you meet with Ashley?” she asked casually. Her questiontook him by surprise.

"Yes. I went to meet with her. I didn't lie to you on purpose. I just...” “I know. You were just beingcautious. Don't worry. I don’t mind,” she said in amusement. “She changed her name to Annabeth.Walter sent her here since that incident. She didn’t know the mastermind behind her kidnappingwas Luna,” Samuel explained. Kathleen frowned. “Are you saying that Luna orchestrated thatkidnapping incident?” Samuel nodded calmly. “That's right. Walter and his wife were blessed withAshley when they were close to fifty years old. Previously, Mrs. Zeller experienced multiplemiscarriages, and those misfortunes were also related to Luna.” “Luna did all those things for thesake of money? Because she wants to take over the Zeller family's assets?” Kathleen asked. “I thinkso. What other reason could there be? She's a very selfish person, to begin with.” Kathleen nodded.“Now that Walter and his family know about this, they'll never let Luna and the others go.” “I justreceived news that Walter and his wife have gone back to the country. It seems like they're going tosettle the score with Luna,” Samuel said with all seriousness. Kathleen glanced at the date. “Thereare seven days left.” Samuel furrowed his brows. “What? Seven days?” “That's the number of daysuntil Trevor has to hand over the parcel.” A cold glint flashed across her eyes.
