Divorce Anxiety
Chapter 69

Samuel narrowed his eyes and stared at Nicolette's face coldly. “You're not worthy."Nicolette froze."Samuel, you... What did you say?"“You don't deserve it.” Samuel threw her a sharp gaze andcondemned, “Nicolette, you shouldn't have crossed my bottom line.”Nicolette was shocked. “Yourbottom line?"“That'd be Kathleen.” Samuel stated coldly, “I've never thought of hurting her as theprice to save you.""Samuel, I've no idea that she was pregnant.” Nicolette was still trying to defendherself, “I merely wanted to regain my health as soon as I could so that I can get married to you.Samuel, we missed out on three years. I don't wish to waste any day from now on. Let's get togetherpeacefully, shall we?"Samuel stared at her indifferently.”If worse came to worst, I'll make it up toKathleen with you from now onward. I'll be her servant and do whatever she asks me to. Is that allright?” Nicolette pleaded with aggrievance, “Samuel, you should be worried about me too. I almostdied."Samuel’s vicious glare emitted coldness. “Your life is precious, but aren't my babies’ livestoo?"Stunned, a shiver ran down Nicolette’s spine.She had never seen Samuel looking at her withsuch a terrifying gaze.Looking at the dignified man, who was exuding an intimidating aura in frontof her, Nicolette was anxious and petrified.”Samuel, I'm sorry. If you want children, I'll bear them foryou. All right?” Nicolette's eyes glistened with tears.Samuel threw her a cold gaze and turnedaround to leave."S-Samuel!” Nicolette shouted at his back.She knew that there would probably beno turning back for Samuel once he walked away like that.D*mn it! If Kathleen were not pregnant,Samuel wouldn't get so enraged.However, that did not matter, as Nicolette felt that she remainedimportant to Samuel since he was indebted to her for saving his life.As long as his real savior nevershowed up, she could make use of his weakness to her advantage to be entangled with himforever.In the ward, Kathleen was still weeping miserably in Wynnie's arms.Wynnie was comfortingher, “Kate, I understand that you must be very upset. But your health comes first. Crying like this isnot good for your body."Kathleen whimpered. “Mom, keep this from Grandma. I'm afraid she won'tbe able to handle it."Hearing her words, Wynnie's eyes reddened. “All right. I get it."Kathleenloosened her hold on Wynnie and wiped away her tears. “Mom, I'm fine. Don't worry aboutme."Despite what she claimed to be, Wynnie was very worried for her.How can Kathleen be fineafter losing two kids?Wynnie would replace it normal if Kathleen let it all out or caused aruckus.However, with her behaving that way, Wynnie was worried sick of her.It was probably not agood thing if she did not vent her pent-up frustration."Mom, I'm tired.” Kathleen's pale and delicateface revealed weariness.Wynnie had consulted the doctor.Kathleen’s body was seriously damagedand would probably take a few years to recuperate.Moreover, she could not have a baby within ayear or two.Otherwise, both she and her baby would be in danger.What Kathleen needed right nowwas a good rest."All right. Go to sleep. I won't disturb you then.” Wynnie understood herfeelings.Kathleen nodded and lay down.She needed silence and deep thoughts. With Wynniearound, she could not do so.Seeing her lying down, Wynnie tucked the blanket in for her beforeturning around to leave the ward.She bumped into Samuel outside.Upon seeing Samuel, sheimmediately raised her hand and slapped him.Wynnie had held this slap back for three days.Sheheld it back when Samuel had just returned, as Kathleen was unconscious with her life at stake atthat time.Now that Kathleen was out of danger, Wynnie could not hold herself back any longer. “Didyou go to see that woman again?”Samuel was expressionless after getting a slap in his face. “Imerely went there to make things clear.”"What else do you have to say to her?” Wynniereprimanded in rage, “Shouldn't you teach her a lesson and put her in jail?"Samuel fell intosilence.”How could you still show mercy to her.” Wynnie scolded furiously, “Are you going to realizehow wicked she is only after Kathleen is dead?”“Mom, I know what to do.” Samuel's deep voice wasfilled with coldness. “Don’t bother about it."Wynnie scoffed, “Don't bother? This is what Kathleenhas to suffer when I stay out of it! You've made me lose two unborn grandsons!”Samuel furrowedhis eyebrows.”"Why? Are you unhappy with me scolding you like this?” Wynnie snapped, “Samuel,Kathleen's never going to forgive you with this!"Never forgive me? That's true. I don't deserveit."Kathleen even reminded me just now to keep this matter from Grandma.” Wynnie's heart ached.“She's such a good woman, and you've gone ahead and ruined her." After that, she turned aroundand left With a grim face, Samuel turned around to enter the ward.Kathleen was simply lying down.Looking at her exquisite yet pale face, which was as white as a sheet, Samuel's heart ached.She wasdelicate and soft in the first place, not to mention her sickly look, which could move the hearts ofeveryone who came across her.The pathetic sight of her made Samuel wish he could care for herdearly by holding her in his arms.”Kate.” Samuel asked in a husky voice, “Are you hungry?"With herpale lips pursed for a moment, Kathleen replied, “Samuel, I don’t want to see you. My body is tooweak right now, so I dont want to scream at you. Can you leave me alone, seeing that I've just lostmy two kids?”Samuel sat down instead and reached out to hold her hands.Kathleen dodged hisoutstretched hand. “Don’t touch me.”Samuel instantly felt a twinge in his heart. “I'm sorry." Tearsstarted rolling down Kathleen's cheeks. “Sorry? My two babies died in vain with a mere apology inreturn. Are their lives this worthless?"“No, that's not what I meant.” Samuel never expected Kathleento think of it that way."What else could you mean then?” The normally sweet voice of Kathleen hadnow become insouciant. “How are you going to make it up for my two kids?"“Kate, let's livetogether nicely from now on. We can still have kids.” Samuel comforted her with a thoughtful gaze,“Don't be like this.""Haha!" Kathleen let out a bitter and sarcastic chuckle until tears streamed fromher eyes. “So what you mean is you're just going to let Nicolette off the hook and leave this matterunsettled. Am I right?"“That's not what I meant.” Samuel's gaze darkened."Then how do you plan onpunishing her? Are you going to make her pay with her life for my babies, or do you havesomething else planned?” Kathleen questioned coldly.The aura she was exuding right then wasdangerous and chilly, completely different from her normally gentle and cute demeanor.She nowappeared cold yet fragile."Kate, I won't care about her anymore. I promise.” Samuel grabbed herhand. “I'm actually the one responsible for this. I've failed to train my subordinates right, which waswhy they were daring enough to do such a thing behind my back. You can just punishme."Kathleen's long eyelashes quivered, and her gaze glinted with coldness. “Samuel, of course,you're not innocent either. Both you and Nicolette should die. Do you understand?’Her hatred forSamuel was more intense than that for Nicolette.Stiffened, Samuel looked at her.”If you had let mego earlier, I'd have left this place by now, and my babies wouldn't die too.” Despair brimmed inKathleen's eyes. “It's all because of you and Nicolette, you adulterous pair!”
