Incident
“So, you are still alive.” Samuel was reminded of Richard’s pain. Richard deserves to suffer. He has
chosen to believe Elena, after all.
“That’s right. Are you here to visit the kids?” Gemma said nonchalantly. Samuel nodded.
“I saw the news. Congratulations on finally reconciling with Kate. You two have been through a lot.”
She was genuinely happy for them.
“Thank you for helping her take care of the kids,” he expressed his gratitude.
“You’re being too polite. I am their godmother, after all.”
Samuel uttered solemnly, “I’ll have to rush back later. I’ll need to continue troubling you with them.”
“All right.” Gemma nodded.
?
“How long do you reckon you two will stay busy?”
“We will return here once Old Mrs. Lester’s condition stabilizes,” Samuel replied.
“I got it.” Gemma smiled faintly.
“Tell Kate not to worry. I’ll make sure the kids are safe and sound.”
“Okay.” Samuel patted his children’s heads.
“I’m going back to meet with your Mommy. You two stay at home obediently and listen to Gemma. Do
you hear me?”
?
“Rest assured, Daddy. I’ll take good care of Desi,” said Eilam. The little girl pouted at her brother’s
words.
“I don’t need someone to take care of me. I’m a grown-up now.” Samuel beamed at them affectionately.
“Okay. In that case, take good care of yourselves.”
“Daddy, we will wait for you and Mommy to come back!” Anticipation filled Desiree’s voice. She knew
her parents had truly reconciled this time.
“Okay.” Samuel nodded. He stood up, turned around, and left. Desiree held Eilam’s hand and chirped,
“Eil, Mommy and Daddy are finally back together. They won’t split up again after this!”
“Yes.” Eilam was delighted too. However, he was not as expressive as his sister. Samuel got into the
car heading back to Nardor.
Just then, Richard sent him a text message: Samuel, can you help me ask Kathleen where did she
bury Gem? Samuel replied: I can’t help you, Richard. You’re still far too kind toward Elena. She is
significantly related to Gemma’s accident, yet you only held her captive and continued caring for her,
providing her with food and drinks. You’ll regret this sooner or later. Richard felt anguished.
He responded: What should I do then? Samuel: Do I need to teach you what to do? Deal with this
matter without letting your feelings cloud your judgment. He placed down his phone after sending out
the message.
Then, he took a walk down the memory lane. Nicolette hurt Kathleen, and he had let Nicolette off the
hook because she saved his life. His decision had allowed Nicolette the chance to harm Kathleen for a
second time. That decision had also became his deepest remorse. He gave that heartfelt advice to
Richard because he did not want Richard to regret his actions. As for Samuel, he would no longer
show Nicolette any mercy as well.
An hour later, Samuel arrived at the hospital. He had left the hospital for four hours since his departure
earlier. Thus, he figured the surgery should be ending soon. Just as Samuel entered the hospital,
Francis exited the elevator.
“You’re back?” Samuel nodded indifferently.
“How’s the operation?”
“It’s a great success.” Francis grinned.
“Kate was simply superb. I heard the doctors and nurses who worked alongside her in the operating
theatre compliment her extraordinary medical skills.”
“That goes without saying.” Samuel felt proud.
“I’ll check on her.” Now that the surgery had ended, he was afraid that the members of the Lester family
would inform Kathleen of the entire truth when she was in that exhausted state.
“Go on.” Francis nodded.
“I’m going back to grab some things.” Samuel bobbed his head before going into the elevator. He
stepped out of the elevator upon arriving at the seventh floor. Anthony and the others walked in his
direction.
“You’re back, Samuel. Kate is inside the office. You should go and look for her there,” Suzie uttered.
“Thank you.”
Samuel strode toward the office at once. The hospital vacated the office at the last minute. In the
morning, Samuel had bid his farewell to Kathleen there. He knocked, pushed the door open, and
entered. He saw Kathleen sitting on the chair, sleeping. She was obviously worn out. Kathleen had
been preparing for the surgery for a few days. In addition, she had to keep herself focused for four
hours straight just now.
Therefore, she was overwhelmed by fatigue the moment she was allowed to rest. Samuel shuffled
lightly to her side, took off his coat, and draped the outerwear on her body. Then, he sat down aside
and took out his phone to deal with some matters. Kathleen slept for a long time. She did not regain her
senses until night fell.
“Samuel.” She straightened herself on the chair and saw the coat. Instantaneously, she knew it was
his. Due to the unlit surroundings, she failed to discern Samuel’s location momentarily. He stood up,
walked to her side, and switched on the table lamp.
“I’m here.” The soft glow from the table lamp illuminated his handsome facial features, which were
arranged into a tender expression.
“You’ve worked hard.” Samuel gently caressed her face.
“Are you still sleepy?” Kathleen shook her head.
“I’m feeling much better. How long did I sleep?”
“Six hours.” He curled his thin lips.
“Are you hungry?”
“A little.” She stroked her stomach.
