Pointless To Regret
Kathleen titled her head.
“Well, it doesn’t matter anymore.” She did not care much about it, after all. Samuel froze as he felt his
heart wrench.
Then, he replied bitterly,, “Is that so??”
“Let's go.” Kathleen got out of the bed. Samuel followed her silently as they exited the room. He was
exuding an indescribable sense of iciness.
At the same time, Kathleen could sense that he was trying hard to suppress his emotions. Yet, she was
not in a good mood to mull over what he actually had in mind. Soon, they arrived in front of the
elevator.The elevator stopped right on the level they were at.
The elevator doors opened, and Charles walked out. As soon as he saw Kathleen, he furrowed his
brows.
“Are you feeling better?”
“I've been fine the whole time.” Kathleen stared at Charlesintently.
“Charles, why are you here?”
“Hmm... I came here to discuss this with you. Granny's funeral will be held at the Johnson residence
instead of the Yoeger residence. Granny had done enough for the Yoeger family, and they had
wronged her. I don't want to have Granny buried with the Yoeger family even after she has passed
away,” Charles stated frigidly.
They only felt disgusted at the mention of the Yoeger family. Kathleen gave a slight nod.
“You're right.”
“I'll make the arrangements then,” said Charles.
“All right. Let's go.” Kathleen nodded. Charles glanced at Samuel before turning around.
Then, three of them took the elevator downstairs. After leaving the hospital, they went to Charles'
place. The mourning hall was all set up in just a day.Many people came to pay their last respects.
Some of them had been friends with Frances for more than decades. Diana had been there since that
afternoon, and she had not left since then. Kathleen walked toward Diana. It was the first time they met
after so long.
Diana's eyes were red-rimmed as she looked at Kathleen.
“Kate.”
“Old Mrs. Macari, thank you for coming to be with my granny in her final moment.” Diana replied sadly,
“Your granny and I were really close friends. I surely have to be here to send her off.”
Kathleen lowered her gaze and nodded. Diana let out a sigh. She was definitely aware of the drastic
change in Kathleen as compared to before. Kathleen used to be a really sweet and gentle lady, but
now, she seemed aloof and distant. It would be impossible for Diana not to feel sad at the change.
“Old Mrs. Macari, it's getting late. You should head back and get some rest. You're getting on in years.
If anything were to happen to you, we couldn't afford to bear the consequences,” Kathleen advised
calmly.
Diana certainly knew that she would trouble them to take care of her if she was there. In fact, she only
wanted to meet Kathleen for a while.
“Okay,” Diana replied with a nod. She rose to her feet and reached out her wrinkled hand to grab
Kathleen's.
“I'm leaving then.”
“Okay.” Kathleen's voice sounded a little hoarse. Diana released her grip and flashed a faint smile.
Then, the housekeeper helped her out of the place.
“Mom, I'll see you off.” Wynnie followed behind. Moments later, Diana got into the car outside. Wynnie
hesitated for a brief moment before she blurted out, “Mom, I guess Kate...”
“Wynn, it's pretty good to see Kate like this too,” Diana comforted. Wynnie was stunned.
“Think about it. Weren't we the reasons why Kate couldn't cut ties with Samuel? Just leave everything
as it is now,” Diana said seriously. Wynnie nodded.
“I know. I didn't mean to pressure Kate too.”
“Okay.” Diana let out a sigh before she continued, “I didn't expect Frances to do something foolish. Just
yesterday, she called me and told me to take good care of Kate. So this was what she meant.”
Diana could only blame herself for not giving her words much thought at that time.
“Mom, don't worry. I'll help them with Old Mrs. Yoeger's funeral,” Wynnie assured.
“Thank you for your help,” came Diana's reply. Wynnie then closed the car door for her. Sitting in the
car, Diana sighed again. The housekeeper comforted, “I guess you don't feel good too, right?”
“You know me well.” Diana's eyes turned red.
“Kate always liked to be around me in the past. She didn't even visit me this time when she came back.
Moreover, she wasn't acting as close to me as she did back then.”
“Ms. Johnson lost her memory, but she's Mr. Eil and Ms. Desi's mother. She is still connected to the
Macari family no matter what,” said the housekeeper.
“I know. I'm not blaming her either. Maybe it would've been better if I hadn't made her marry Samuel
last time,” Diana said faintly.
“Old Mrs. Macari, it has already been so long, so it's pointless to regret now.” The housekeeper was
helpless too. If Nicolette had not gotten in between them, Samuel and Kathleen would surely live a
happy life.
“Let's go,” Diana ordered softly. Only then did the driver start the engine and drive off. In the meantime,
there were not many people in the mourning hall to pay their respect. Kathleen shot Charles a sidelong
glance and asked, “Has Zachary come?”
“Of course. He cried for a bit pretentiously and left after pretending to pass out,” Charles said
sarcastically.
“What about Yareli? Was she not here?” Kathleen's brows settled into a frown.
“She was here much earlier, but she left after a while,” replied Charles.
“That's strange.” The crease between her brows deepened.
“What's wrong?” Samuel and Charles looked at her.
“I went to the Yoeger residence yesterday and bumped into her at midnight. Considering how she
treated me in the past, she wouldn't have been so calm when she saw me at the Yoeger residence
yesterday,” Kathleen stated flatly.
“She's a psycho, and we shouldn't be surprised by whatever she does. However, you'd better be
careful if she seemed that calm.” Charles was worried. A sullen look crept over Samuel's face.
“I've already sent someone to keep an eye on her.” Kathleen looked at him in shock.
“Just today?”
“Yesterday.” Samuel's captivating eyes turned icy-cold. Yesterday? That was after I talked to Lauren on
the phone.
“Just keep an eye on her for now, then.”
After a moment's pause, Kathleen continued, “Did she bring up the marriage with you?”
“Yes, she did. She said Vanessa would be at the wedding, but I told her off.” Samuel's voice was frosty.
“It's good that you rejected her. I shouldn't have forced you to marry her. Now that Granny has passed
away, the Yoeger family will have no choice but to split the assets. Zachary and Yareli will share what's
left. Judging by Yareli's ability, she probably can't take charge of the Yoeger family's affairs, and
Vanessa will definitely do something when she can no longer stand it,” explained Kathleen.
“I guess we will have to get this matter sorted out as soon as possible.” Charles knew Kathleen was
trying to force Vanessa to come back. Kathleen responded with a nod. Knitting her brows, she asked,
“Charles, is anyone taking care of things at my house?”
Charles replied patiently, “Amelia and the others are there. Moreover—”
Just then, Kathleen's phone rang. She picked up the phone and heard Amelia's feeble voice.
“Ms. Johnson, someone took Zion away.” A cold glint flitted across Kathleen's eyes.
“I'll be there right away!” She placed her phone down and said solemnly, “As expected, Dorothy has
made her move.”
