Chapter 435


    I can’t tell him that I want to be with him, can I?


    “Samuel, actually, I want to be your… sister.” Ashley squeezed her fingers as she went on, “I’m the only


    child. I want a… brother.”


    “No. It’s either money or something else. I won’t agree to have such an ambiguous rtionship with


    you,” Samuel replied tly.


    Ashley froze.

    Why is this different from what I thought?


    Samuel looked at her indifferently. “Do you still want to see the doctor?”


    “I’ll go by myself.” After a pause, Ashley added hesitantly, “Samuel, how about this? Treat it as a favor


    you owe me. I’lle to you when I have the need to in the future. Is that okay?”


    “Okay.”


    That’s great!


    “I hope you’ll have your mind made up when youe to me,” Samuel added before closing the car


    door and instructing the driver to drive.


    Biting her lip, Ashley watched him leave.


    I didn’t expect him to be so unyielding, but it’s okay. I have other ways.


    Kathleen woke up early the next day.


    After she went downstairs, she saw Samuel sitting in the living room, and there was food on the table.


    “How did youe in?” Kathleen was surprised.


    “With key. Desi gave it to me,” exined Samuel.


    Kathleen recalled that she had indeed given Desiree the key to her house when thetter lived here.


    Kathleen did not expect Desiree would give the key to Samuel.


    “Why didn’t you wake me up?” Kathleen frowned.


    “I want you to sleep a little longer,” Samuel replied.


    She went over to sit next to him. “I know all the ins and outs. How’s Miley doing?”


    “She didn’t hurt her head, but she won’t be able to stand up for the rest of her life,” stated Samuel


    calmly.


    It’s that bad?


    Kathleen knitted her brows. “What is Richard going to do?”


    Samuel nced sideways at her. “What do you think?”


    “If he wants to take care of Miley, Gemma…” Kathleen could not finish her sentence. Instead, she said,


    “It’ll be too cruel for her.”


    Samuel held her hand. “She has to face it.”


    Kathleen felt bad for Gemma. “It’s too cruel.”


    There was a solemn look in Samuel’s ??vel?book eyes. Indeed. It’s not easy for Richard and Gemma


    to be together. Gemma has indeed sacrificed a lot in the rtionship.


    “Kate.” Gemma’s voice was suddenly hearding from upstairs.


    Kathleen immediately rose to her feet. “Gem, you’re awake. Are you hungry? Samuel got us some


    breakfast.”


    “Yeah.” Gemma nodded.


    Kathleen grabbed Gemma’s hand and said, “Let’s go and eat something.” The former then nced at


    Samuel. “Come eat together.”


    Samuel nodded.


    The three of them went to the dining room.


    Kathleen took care of Gemma.


    “Here’s some soy milk and bread.” Kathleen ced the breakfast in front of Gemma.


    Gemma took a sip of the soy milk. “Samuel, how’s Miley?”


    “I called just now and was told that she’s out of critical condition. I’ve also helped you to apply for leave


    at the hospital. You can take a good rest and return to work anytime,” Samuel replied.


    “Thanks.” Gemma’s eyes were reddened.


    He replied calmly, “Don’t stand on ceremony. You’re Kate’s friend.”


    Gemma pursed her lips. “So she…” Gemma trailed off.


    “She can’t move her legs anymore. She has to spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair,” Samuel


    stated.


    Gemma took a bite of the bread and chewed it slowly, tears rolling down her cheeks.


    Kathleen took a piece of tissue and helped Gemma to wipe the tears off her face.


    As tears kept streaming down Gemma’s face, Kathleen got worried.


    Gemma knew that it was impossible for Richard to ignore Miley when Miley was in such a condition.


    Gemma felt terrible, and her heart ached.


    Closing her eyes, she broke down in tears.


    Kathleen patted her lightly on her back. “Don’t take it too hard, Gem. Richard is so terrible. If he had


    resolved the matter sooner, it wouldn’t have affected you.”


    Hearing Kathleen’sint about Richard, Samuel did not want to make anyments.


    “Kate, I’m really sad. I love him so much, but this is what I get in the end.” Gemma sobbed.


    She was indignant that she had to break up with Richard because of such a thing.


    “There are a lot of things in life we can’t control, Gem. If you can’t force it, it’s better for you to walk


    away from it as soon as possible,” said Kathleen.


    “Okay.” Gemma sniffled. “Kate, I would like to be alone now.”


    “Make yourself at home, Gem. I’ve told the guard not to let Richard in. Don’t worry. Have a good rest,”


    Kathleen assured.


    Gemma nodded and went back to her room.


    Samuel gave Kathleen a thoughtful look. “What do you think Gemma will do?”


    Kathleen replied straightforwardly, “Break up. No woman can ept such a thing. Richard is the one


    who makes the mistake, so he should bear the consequences himself. He can’t drag Gemma into it.”


    Samuel gave it a thought and asked, “What if this happens to us?”

    Kathleen looked at him with a serious expression. “If the woman who ces you in a tough spot is


    Ashley, Samuel, I won’t cry as Gemma did. Now, I understand that making myself happy is the most


    important thing. When the timees, don’t use me of not loving you enough. If you love me, you


    won’t have anything to do with Ashley.”


    “I didn’t make a mistake.” Samuel felt helpless.


    Kathleen took a sip of the ??vel?book soy milk without saying anything.


    Ashley’s existence made her feel ufortable.


    It was not that she was overly concerned, but something like that happened too many times, such as


    Nicolette, who pretended to be the one who saved Samuel.


    As a result, Samuel treated Nicolette very well.


    By the way, there has been no news of Nicolette these days. Where did she go?


    “What are you going to do today?” asked Samuel.


    “I’m keeping Gempany at home. I vaguely remember that she always spent time with me when I


    quarreled with you previously, so I can’t leave her now,” replied Kathleen.


    “Okay.” Samuel nodded. “I’m going to the office today. Call me if you need me.”


    He knew that Kathleen would not possibly call him as she was no longer the same as before and could


    solve everything by herself.


    “Okay.” Kathleen gave him a slight nod.


    Samuel got up and left.


    He then got into the car with a frown.


    Tyson asked awkwardly, “What’s wrong, Mr. Macari?”


    “Tyson, humans are so greedy.” Samuel swallowed hard. “I used to think it would be fine as long as she


    stayed by my side, but now I want her to love me like before.”


    “What happened, Mr. Macari?”


    Samuel told Tyson the whole thing.


    “Mr. Macari, I actually think that Mrs. Macari is right. Both of you have changed. You certainly didn’t


    handle things the way you did in the past. Besides, I think the fact that Mrs. Macari is bothered by


    Ashley shows that she loves you.”
