Chapter 372
Chapter 372 Treat You Horribly Kathleen returned to her room and sat onthe bed. She arrived an hour
ago and discussed the matter with Frances. Luckily, the old woman listened to anything she said. She
decided to let Frances move in with her, as there was no way she was letting the old woman be
trapped in a dangerous situation. Moreover, Yoeger Group would soon be divided. The Yoegers could
deal with their assets however they wanted, but Kathleen was adamant about helping Frances regain
everything that was rightfully hers.I will not let them have Granny''s assets! Hector''s actions alone
proved that the Yoegers never valued Frances'' contributions to the family. All Kathleen wanted was for
Frances to live her sunset years in peace. As for her children, she didn''t have to worry, as she could
ask Samuel to stay and look after them for one night. Shey in bed and received a text from Samuel
that read: How''s it going on your side? Kathleen replied: Everything''s going well.
Are the kids asleep? He responded: Yeah, they''re asleep. She texted: Good. He replied: You should
rest early, too.
She typed: Okay.
Justas she put her phone down and prepared to sleep, Samuel sent her another text message: I''ve
turned down the marriage with Yareli. She texted back: I was wrong. I shouldn''t have forced you. You''re
right; marriage isn''t child''s y. It''s not a tool that can be used. He replied: It''s good that you
understand. Kathleen frowned in confusion. What does he mean? He sent another text message: You
treated marriage as a joke five years ago. So why did you marry Caleb when you didn''t love him? She
replied sheepishly: I''ve lost my memory. I can''t give you an answer even if I want to. He texted back: I
like how memory loss is your excuse for everything. She pursed her lips. He''s kind of humorous
sometimes. Momentster, he texted: Go to sleep. She rolled her eyes and replied: I was about to
sleep. You were the one talking to me! A smile spread across his face as he could almost sense her
irritation through the words on the screen. He was able to picture her angry expression as he texted:
Did Iin when you summoned me back to look after the kids?She furrowed her brows and
replied: I won''t need you anymore after I return tomorrow. He responded: Wow. Is this an act of
discarding me after you''re done using me? Kathleen was speechless. Why does he make it sound like
it''s my fault? Hence, she texted: Fine. I won''t ask you for help in the future anymore, okay? She
wouldn''t have asked him for help if Charles wasn''t busy. Samuel''s thin lips curled into a smile as he
texted back: Can''t you tell I''m joking? I just don''t want our rtionship to be too awkward. Before she
put her phone down and went to sleep, she merely replied: Good night! While wearing a gloomy
expression, he responded: Good night. Things would never return to the way it was, huh? The next
morning, Kathleen woke up and checked the time on her phone. It was only six o''clock in the morning,
but she found herself wide awake. Thus, she got up and went downstairs to check on Frances. After
knocking on the door, she entered and saw Frances still asleep. She walked over, intending to leave
after taking a look. That was when she caught sight of a bottle of sleeping pills and a letter on the old
woman''s bedside table. Her whole body stiffened. “Granny!” she eximed as she ced her finger
beneath Frances'' nose to feel her breathing. When she didn''t feel anything, her mind began buzzing.
“Granny! Help! Someone!” she shrieked frantically. One of the maids rushed in. “What''s wrong?” “Go
get the car ready! Hurry!” Kathleen screamed hysterically. At a single nce, the maid could tell that
something had happened to Frances. Without asking anything else, she immediately went to carry out
Kathleen''s order. Kathleen held Frances in her arms and bawled in despair. Why did this happen? Why
did Granny end her own life? Soon after, the maid returned and informed Kathleen, “Ms. Johnson, the
car is ready.” “Help me!” Kathleen stuffed the letter into her pocket as the maid walked over and helped
her carry Frances into the car.She sped all the way to the hospital, but it was toote. Frances had
already passed away. She had already stopped breathing when they reached the hospital. When the
doctor announced Frances'' death, Kathleen sat motionlessly on the chair in a state ofplete shock.
Samuel was the first to arrive. When he saw Kathleen''s dejected look, he approached and embraced
her. “Kate?” Kathleen threw herself into his arms and hugged his neck, bawling like a baby. He hugged
her tight and allowed her to vent her emotions. Charles came next, and then there was Wynnie and
Calvin. Initially, Diana wanted toe as well, but they didn''t let her, for fear that she wouldn''t be able
to handle the sorrow of losing her friend. The way Kathleen was weeping in misery broke everyone''s
hearts. Charles looked at Samuel and said, “Why don''t you bring her back first?” Wynnie walked over.
“I''ve asked someone to send the kids back home.” “All right.” Samuel nodded and looked down at
Kathleen, who was in his arms. “I''ll bring you back first, okay?” “No. I want to stay.” Kathleen shook her

head, her soft and fair hands clutching the man''s cor. She sobbed piteously, her eyes and nose red
from all the crying. Samuel''s heart ached as he looked at her tear-stricken face. “All right then.” He then
shook his head at Charles, indicating they should allow her to stay. When Frances was pushed out of
the operating room, her head was covered with a white sheet. Kathleen approached, wanting to take a
look. The doctor knew what she wanted and allowed her to take onest look at her grandmother. As
she lifted the white sheet and looked at the old woman''s peaceful expression, tears streamed down her
cheeks. “Granny... It''s all my fault. I should''ve let you know that I''m your granddaughter sooner. Why
did you do this?” Kathleen''s voice turned hoarse. Everything was fine just one day ago. She couldn''t
fathom why something like this happened. As she sobbed, Samuel held her arm and supported her. All
of a sudden, her heart clenched, and she cked out. “Kate!” Samuel caught her in time. The doctor
shouted, “Quick, send her to a ward!” Samuel carried her and sent her into one of the wards for the
doctor to do a checkup on her. “She passed out due to extreme grief. Let her rest, and make sure she
doesn''t have any more emotional fluctuations,” said the doctor. Samuel nodded. “All right.” After the
doctor left, Samuel pulled the covers for Kathleen. As he took her hand and looked at her delicate but
pale face, his soulful eyes were filled with heartache. Kathleen woke up in the evening. She didn''t know
how long she had been unconscious, but she felt lethargic. “You''re awake?” Samuel''s deep voice
sounded. She looked over at him. “How long have I been asleep?” “You''ve been asleep for the whole
day,” he answered. “My granny...” She frowned. He ced his hand on her shoulder. “Don''t worry.
Charles and my parents are handling everything.” She pursed her lips. “Thank them for me.” “I will.” His
voice sounded slightly raspy. “Where are my shoes? I want to go home.” She gazed at him. “I''ll help
you.” He took her shoes and wanted to help her put them on. “It''s okay. I''ll do it myself.” She furrowed
her brows.His big hands enveloped her feet. “Let me help you.” Subsequently, he helped her put on her
shoes in a gentle manner. All of a sudden, he realized something. “Kate, back then, I thought I treated
you nice enough. But now, as I helped you put on your shoes, I realized that I had treated you horribly,”
he uttered gruffly.
