Kathleen turned around with a faint smile. “I don’t intend to get you involved, Ms. Williams.” Withthat, she proceeded to make her way out. Tears began to drip down Quinn’s face. Kathleen’smother used to be her mentor, yet there was nothing she could do to help Kathleen. She didn’tknow how she was going to face her own mentor. When Kathleen came out of the obstetrics andgynecology department, she showed Tyson the report in her hands. “Take a good look. I’m notpregnant, so you can go now.” What she said made Tyson feel awkward. “Where are you heading,Mrs. Macari? I’ll send you there.” Here, he paused and added in a softer voice, “Mr. Macari told meto.” “I don’t like being followed around. You can tell Samuel that I will look for Grandma, but I havesomething else to do right now,” Kathleen declared. “Understood.” Tyson nodded. Kathleen turnedand left. After taking two steps, she realized that she had forgotten to take her phone, so she wentback to get it. When she came out again, someone stopped her by calling her name. “Kathleen.”Nicolette’s voice traveled into her ears. Kathleen froze. How did I end up bumping into her? Sheturned around quietly and looked at Nicolette, who was dressed in a hospital gown and looked alittle pale. Even so, she still looked gorgeous. Despite the physical resemblance between them,their temperaments were completely different. Kathleen was alluring, but there was somethinginnocent about her. Nicolette, on the other hand, was purely priggish. The two of them were worldsapart. Kathleen furrowed her brows and asked, “Why are you here?” Nicolette stared back at hericily. A glint of envy flashed in her gaze. “I’ve been admitted to the hospital for leukemia.”“Leukemia?” “Samuel was the one who arranged for me to get admitted here.” Nicolette smirked.“Oh, right, I heard that the treatment for leukemia in this hospital was perfected by your parents.”Her words disgusted Kathleen. She didn’t like the idea of Nicolette receiving the treatment that herparents had perfected. “Good luck with your treatment, then,” Kathleen said emotionlessly. Shewanted to leave, but Nicolette stopped her again. “Give Samuel back to me, Kathleen.” Kathleenpaused. “If it isn’t because you snatched him away, I would have been the one who married Samuelthree years ago. Because of you, we were separated for so many years, and now, this is the statethat my body’s in. Do you still intend to have him all to yourself? He doesn’t even love you!”

Nicolette continued. Kathleen remained expressionless. “What a joke. If he wants to get a divorce,then he should be the one talking to me about it. Why are you the one saying it? Is he that much ofa coward?” The truth was, she knew that Nicolette had only said that on purpose to provoke her andlet her know just how much Samuel cared about Nicolette. Even though Kathleen was aware of it,that didn’t change the fact that it hurt. She had loved him for so many years, after all. “Samuel justfeels bad,” Nicolette muttered through gritted teeth. “You think it’s natural for you to be with Samuelbecause you lost your parents and Old Mrs. Macari likes you. But you seem to have forgotten thathe doesn’t love you. Not even a tiny bit!” “How can you be so sure?” Kathleen challenged. Nicolettewas dazed upon hearing that. “Why would he touch me if he didn’t love me?” Kathleen continuedtaunting. Nicolette trembled slightly. Right then, she looked behind Kathleen. “Samuel?” Kathleenfroze for a second and smiled calmly. I guess I fell for it in the end. She turned around and wasgreeted by the sight of a cold, striking man. “I came here to get a checkup. I’ll be on my way now,”Kathleen said. “And what were the results?” Samuel questioned in a frigid voice. Kathleen pulledout the lab report and stuffed it into his suit pocket. With a grin on her face, she answered, “Don’tworry. I’m not pregnant.” Samuel took the report with a slight discomfort in his heart. Truthfullyspeaking, he had had his hopes up. However, the feeling soon dissipated. “Well, since you’re notpregnant, let’s discuss the future,” he suggested in an unconcerned manner. “Are you sure youwant to talk about that here?” Kathleen looked aggrieved. “I haven’t even eaten yet just so I couldget a checkup.” “Go eat, then,” Samuel responded impassively. “Take me there.” Kathleen smiled.“We can talk while we eat.” Samuel stared at her without any warmth in his eyes. “Don’t try anythingfunny.” Kathleen giggled, which was music to one’s ears. “If I had tried anything funny, you wouldhave been kneeling in front of Grandma at this moment. All I’m asking is that you join me for ameal.” Samuel furrowed his brows. “You can go with her, Samuel. I’ll wait for you in the hospital,”Nicolette piped up, pretending to be understanding. Kathleen beamed and grabbed Samuel’s arm.“If you say so, Ms. Yoeger. Let’s go, then. There’s a place nearby that I’ve been wanting to try for awhile.” Nicolette watched as they linked arms with venom in her eyes. Samuel glanced at her andsaid, “Go back to the ward and get some rest. I’ll be back soon.” “Okay.” Nicolette bit her lip. “Hurry

back. Let’s eat lunch together.” “Sure.” Samuel nodded. Kathleen dragged him outside, and theywent to the nearby restaurant that she had mentioned. She took one menu, looking relaxed. “Whatare you getting, Sam?” “I’m not eating.” “You’re trying to save some room in your stomach to havelunch with Nicolette later, right? I get it.” Kathleen gestured for the waiter. “Can I get one quinoasalad? Also, I want a plate of chicken drumsticks. Thanks.” “Sure.” The waiter nodded, then walkedaway. Samuel knitted his eyebrows. “Why are you eating so much?” He knew that Kathleen typicallyhad a small appetite. She would be full after just a few bites. “Really, Sam? I only ordered a bowl ofquinoa salad and some chicken drumsticks, and you think I’m eating too much? Has your companygone bankrupt or something? Are you poor now?” “Just eat.” Sometimes, her cheekiness wasadorable. Other times, however, it was plain infuriating. Even so, Samuel had to admit that it hadn’tbeen too bad waiting for Nicolette to come back for the past three years with Kathleen by his side.When the food was served, Kathleen began to dig in. She was practically starving at that point, andso was the baby she was carrying. As she chewed her salad, her cheeks puffed up. That action ofhers was incredibly cute, and she looked just like a squirrel. “What did you want to say to me?”Kathleen asked softly. “What did Nicolette tell you just now?” Kathleen frowned. Is he trying to settlethe score? “She told me that she had leukemia.” “That’s true. I went to check for a bone marrowmatch for her. Surprisingly enough, there’s a donor in this hospital whose blood type is a perfectmatch for her. Can you guess who it is?” Kathleen’s eyelid twitched. “You mean… me?”
