“No!” Kathleen stared at Samuel with all seriousness. “Do not come here!”Samuel gazed at Wyatt. “Imake a much better hostage than she does. Remember how your father and brother were thrownbehind bars? Even the leaders here have to show me respect. You'll have an easier time escaping byholding me captive instead of her."Wyatt knew he would have a tough time getting out of therethat day. Kathleen was too cunning. On the other hand, Samuel was injury-ridden, so Wyattreckoned Samuel would not dare to do anything foolish.“Okay.” Wyatt nodded in agreement."No!”Kathleen glared at Samuel. “I do not agree!"Samuel gazed at her tenderly. “I'll be fine. Move alongnow."Kathleen took a deep breath. “How much more suffering do you plan to let yourselfendure?”Samuel was stunned.Tears rolled down Kathleen's cheeks. “You've harmed yourselfpreviously and almost lost your life. Then, your hand was crippled because of me, not to mentionthe injuries to your legs. That's enough, Samuel. That's truly enough. You've sufficiently redeemedyourselfl"His heart ached as he looked at her. “I'm really fine. Please, don't cry."He ambledforward.Kathleen bit her lip. “Wyatt!"*What's the matter?” Wyatt narrowed his eyes."Go to hell!" Shebellowed angrily.Kathleen suddenly turned around and stabbed his abdomen with a dagger.Wyattwas dumbfounded.She grasped his gun-wielding hand, gave it a forceful twist, and the guninstantaneously slipped through his fingers.Samuel's reflexes were quick. He grabbed the gun withhis left hand, took aim, and fired three consecutive shots at Wyatt.Little did Wyatt anticipate thingsto take such a sudden turn. His eyes were still widened in utter disbelief when his body fell to theground.Samuel walked up to Kathleen's side and pulled her into his embrace. “Are you all right? Didyou sustain any injuries?”She shook her head while glowering at him. “You're crazy! You're notallowed to do something like this again!“The situation would have turned dire if I did not preparemyself in advance."Silly girl. I was informed through the phone when Wyatt entered earlier. I'vealready assigned a sniper to standby at the opposite skyscraper. The sniper was ready to end his lifewith one shot if he moved,” he explained.Kathleen frowned. “I did not know you'd already made allthese arrangements!“Samuel patted her head. “It's all right, as long as you're fine.”She pursed herlips. “Tell your men to clean this place up. There's no need to resuscitate Wyatt either.”Samuelnodded. Then, he left the tasks to Tyson.Kathleen looked sideways at Clarissa, who was lying on thebed. “I'm afraid Clarissa has never imagined her family members to be so ruthless.”Samuel heldKathleen's hand. “Wyatt's subordinates have been completely dealt with. I'll let your brother addressthe rest of the issues.”" Thank you.” Kathleen felt grateful.”You never have to thank me.” His voicewas deep and magnetic. “I'm doing all these things because I love you, not because I seek yourgratitude.”She smiled faintly. “I got it."Soon, everything returned to normal in the ward.Even theblood on the floor was gone.Charles returned in a hurry. “Are any of you hurt?"Kathleen shook herhead."That's good then.” He let out a sigh of relief. “I did not expect Wyatt to resort to suchdesperate measure.” That was his final chance, after all. Did you meet with Grandma?” Kathleenasked.Charles nodded. “Yes, and I've clarified everything with her. I'll have to trouble you to care forher in the future.” There's no trouble to that.” Kathleen curled her lips. “I'm more than pleased totake care of Grandmal!“Charles bobbed his head.”Charles, Samuel, and I will return to Jadeboroughin the next few days. I'll frequent here to follow up on Clarissa’s progress. When her conditionstabilizes, I'll perform the surgery on her.”“Okay. Thank you for the hard work.” Charlesnodded.”Don’t mention it. We'll be leaving first then.” Kathleen left the hospital with Samuel. Theywent back to the hotel, packed their belongings, and were ready to go.They arrived at Jadeboroughin the afternoon the next day.Kathleen arranged for Betty to settle down in her mansion andbrought her kids over as well.Betty was very happy to see Eilam and Desiree.The two children wereextremely adorable.Kathleen beamed slightly at the sight of them surrounding Betty.She gazed atSamuel. “Aren“t you going home to visit your family now that you're back?"Samuel sat down. “This ismy home."Kathleen chuckled. “Grandma and Mom will be so sad to see you behaving like this."Hesaid casually, “I'm staying here to accompany you.”I think you should go back to visit them. Then,you can return here again. Also, tell them to come here to have a meal together tomorrow. What doyou say?” Kathleen suggested.Samuel remained silent."Okay. I'll accompany you to go there later.”Kathleen felt helpless.Only then did he nod his head. “You said it yourself.”"What other choice do Ihave aside from saying that?” Kathleen uttered in resignation.Samuel kept quiet. Then, he massagedhis temples. “Kate, my head is hurting.”"Kathleen was rendered speechless.He’s becoming moreadept at utilizing this tactic. Kathleen and Samuel went to the Macari residence after they finishedtheir dinner.Diana’s condition seemed to have improved further, as her cheeks appeared moreflushed and radiant."Grandma,” Kathleen greeted her cheerfully.Diana was delighted to seeKathleen. “I'm glad that both of you are back.”“How are you, Grandma?” Kathleen asked inconcern.”I'm feeling much better.” Diana wore a benevolent smile."Grandma, why don't all of youcome over to my place tomorrow and have a meal together? I wish to introduce my othergrandmother to you,” Kathleen elaborated.Diana grinned. “Sure. I want to meet with her too. Somany years have passed. I'm afraid it was long since we last met."Kathleen was astounded. “You twoknow each other?”“We only met once in the past,” Diana explained.Realization dawned on Kathleen.“I see. So that's the case. Well, it's decided then. Ill come and pick you all up tomorrowafternoon.”"Okay.” Diana nodded.Wynnie smiled as she looked sideways at Samuel. “After muchdifficulties, it's a good thing that you've successfully brought my daughter-in-law back.”Samuel didnot say a word.”Don't lose her this time,” Wynnie reminded.Samuel responded gruffly, “This time, Iwon't." After that, Samuel and Kathleen left the Macari residence.The next day, Betty said toKathleen, “Kate, I want to pay my respect to your parents at the cemetery.”Kathleen fell into amomentary daze before replying, “Sure.”She immediately gave the orders to make the necessaryarrangements.Then, they arrived at the cemetery. Andrew and Rebecca were buried together.Tearsstreamed down Betty's face as she stared at the yellowing pictures on the tombstone. “Andrew, I'msorry for being so late. Please forgive me for only replaceing you now."Kathleen's eyes reddened aswell. “Be mindful of your health, Grandma.”Betty took a deep breath. “I'm fine.”She was merelyoverwhelmed by the urge to cry.Just then, someone's voice was heard. “Mrs. Lester, it has been along time since we last met.”
