Chapter 56

Kathleen stepped forward and stared at the doctor with pleading eyes. “Let me do it! Please, let metry!"The doctor knitted his brows and asked, “You?"She explained, “I'm Kathleen Johnson. Myparents used to be doctors here. My grandfather as well.”Upon hearing that, the doctor frowned.Thehead nurse verified, “Doctor, her father is the former director, Dr. Johnson."“You're Dr. Johnson'sdaughter?”l never heard about her attending medical school though..."Doctor, please let me savehim,” Kathleen said coldly.The doctor frowned and replied, “But...""Please, I beg you!” Kathleenpleaded with determination in her eyes.Upon seeing her gaze, the doctor stepped aside.Kathleentook out her set of silver needles and placed them at the side.Everyone was in shock.Is she usingtraditional medicine?Kathleen took a needle and inserted it into the acupoint on top of Benjamin'shead.She then inserted a few more needles into other acupoints on his head.Following that, it washis heart, palms, and soles of his feet.Finally, she took the last needle and gently inserted it into hisforehead.Seconds had passed, and the electrocardiogram was still static.Everyone had prepared toface the worst outcome.Benjamin was actually not breathing anymore. He was a goner.Gemmastared at Kathleen's back in a daze. She burst into tears.She wailed, “Benjamin, wake up! Open youreyes and look at the girl you like in front of you! Do it for her!"Kathleen was dumbfounded.Benjaminlikes me?While sobbing, Gemma bellowed, “Benjamin, haven't you been waiting for Kathleen? Isn'tthat why you don't look for a girlfriend all these years? How could you leave after you've foundher?”Kathleen’s heart wrenched, and she silently shed tears.Benjamin got hurt for saving me. DidNicolette send someone to get rid of him to force me to get a divorce with Samuel? It's all my faultthat everything turned out this way.Kathleen was overwhelmed by sorrow.She would not hesitate togive her life away if Gemma wanted it.Beep!The electrocardiogram suddenly sounded.Everyone wasstunned.Beep! Beep!The electrocardiogram recorded electrical signals.Finally, Benjamin wasbreathing faintly. The head nurse announced excitedly, “Doctor, his heartbeat and blood pressurehave returned!"Upon hearing that, Gemma cried hysterically. Tears kept streaming down Kathleen'sface.Thank goodness! He's alive! The doctor ordered the head nurse to inject Benjamin withadrenaline.Suddenly, Kathleen felt her hand being grabbed by a cold hand.She wasstartled.Benjamin opened his eyes and called with a hoarse voice, “Kathleen. Thrilled, Kathleen heldhis hand in return and said, “Benjamin, you're awake!"Gemma walked over, looked at Benjamin, andcried even louder.Benjamin had no idea what had happened, but he felt at ease looking at Kathleenand Gemma.After Benjamin's condition had improved, Kathleen removed all the silver needles.Thedoctor also gave him a regular check-up.Benjamin’s condition had stabilized.Even though he stilllooked rather weary, it was fortunate that he had woken up.“Benjamin, get some rest. We'll talk thenext day.” Kathleen was aware of how tired Benjamin was.Benjamin really wanted to know what hadhappened, but he nodded after hearing Kathleen's words.Kathleen tucked him into bed.Benjamingazed at her face before closing his eyes.To not disturb Benjamin's rest, Kathleen and Gemma leftthe ward.Feeling awkward, Gemma said, “Kathleen, you don't have to take to heart what I said in theward just now. I..."Confused, Kathleen asked, “Benjamin likes me? I didn't know."Gemma froze for amoment and said, “Kathleen, you don't have to feel burdened by that. I said that out of desperationamid that critical time.”Kathleen lightly furrowed her brows and said, “I know. I'm just verysurprised."Gemma pursed her lips. “That's because you've always treated Benjamin as a brother.You've never liked him, right?"Kathleen nodded.Gemma shook her head and said, “It's okay.Kathleen, please don't feel burdened just because Benjamin has saved your life, and because helikes you. Both of you won't be happy this way."After sitting down, Kathleen uttered, “Gemma, Ican't pretend I don't know. I..."Gemma sat down as well and said, “Benjamin would rather concealhis feelings deep inside his heart. Actually, he's very happy to be able to meet you again."Kathleenwas at a loss for words, and silence ensued.Gemma knew that Kathleen only looked sweet andinnocent from the outside. In actuality, Kathleen was very clear about how she felt. It was evidentthat it came as a shock to her. She had no feelings for Benjamin, but she did not wish to hurt himeither.With a lowered gaze, Gemma said, “Kathleen, if you marry Benjamin because you feelindebted to him, I will look down on you. If you marry my brother out of guilt, isn't this a form ofdeceit?”Kathleen nodded and replied, “I understand what you mean.""Kathleen, about Samuel andNicolette..."Everyone saw what was trending today.Kathleen leaned against the seat and said,"Samuel and I will get a divorce. I can't love him anymore. Gemma, there are no words to describehow mentally exhausted I am."Gemma held Kathleen's hand and said, “If you're not happy, then geta divorce."Kathleen nodded and agreed, “Yeah, I will.”She stayed outside of Benjamin's ward withGemma for one whole night. The next day, Benjamin was still sleeping when Kathleen went homefirst.Right when she was about to enter the password, the door opened.Samuel gave her a viciousglare and exclaimed, "Where did you go? Why weren't you home for one whole night?"Doesn“t sheknow that I'm worried?He got extremely anxious when he came home in the morning and realizedshe was not there.Kathleen lifted her head. Her eyes were red, and dark eye circles could vaguely beseen under her eyes. It was obvious that she did not sleep well.”Say something.” Samuel extendedhis hand to touch her.However, she avoided his touch.Samuel frowned upon seeing that.With a coldand raspy voice, she threatened, “Samuel, let Nicolette know that if she dares to harm Benjaminagain, I will end her.”Samuel asked coldly, “What did you just say?"Coldness gathered in Kathleen'seyes as she said, “I said I will end her. I will end the life of the woman you love to seek revenge forBenjamin!"Samuel grabbed her hand and consoled her, “Calm down."Kathleen had never acted thiscold. She said, “I'm very calm. Samuel, someone pulled the plug on Benjamin yesterday night. Imanaged to catch and threaten that person. He told me that Nicolette ordered him to doso."Samuel furrowed his brows. “That's not possible.” There are surveillance cameras in the hospital.You can check it yourself.” Kathleen continued coldly, “Samuel, I can't wait to divorce you, so there'sno reason for me to badmouth her. If I do so, you won't believe me and will think that I'm blamingNicolette to avoid getting a divorce. I can clearly tell you that I'm not lying, so believe whatever youwant.”l don't care whether he believes me or not. After all, he will only believe that Nicolette is akind-hearted fairy.She pushed him away and entered the room. After taking out her suitcase, shestarted packing her clothes.Samuel grimaced and questioned, “What are you doing?
