chapter 2
Samuel picked up the call from Nicolette. There was a gentle look on his face. Samuel was also
gentle to her, but that was only because he saw her as another woman. That was what broke
Kathleen’s heart the most. Not once had he seen her for who she was. Instead, she was just a
recement. Kathleen hated herself for resembling Nicolette so much sometimes. They weren’t
even rted, but they looked almost identical. “Don’t cry. I’lle over right now,” Samuel assured
tenderly. Hanging up, he turned to Kathleen and said, “I’ll get Tyson to take you to the hospital
later.” “You still don’t trust me, do you?” Kathleen grumbled in a daze. “Yeah, I don’t,” he admitted
heartlessly. Kathleen pursed her lips, an imprable look in her eyes. “Okay.” “Just hurry up and
tell Grandma,” Samuel said indifferently. “She hasn’t been feeling welltely. Are you sure you want
me to tell her now?” Kathleen stared at his cold, handsome face. “Yes. Nicolette can’t wait any
longer.” Nicolette can’t wait any longer? Does that mean he doesn’t care about Grandma’s life and
death? I guess true love is enough to make him throw his whole family aside. Kathleen knew she
had lost, but she had not expected herself to lose so thoroughly. “Fine,” she conceded with a weak
nod. “But no matter how much of a rush you’re in, you have to give me at least three days.” “Sure. I
hope you won’t let me down.” “Why would I?” There was a heart-wrenching smile on her face as
she said that. “When have I ever let you down, be it in our three years of marriage, or as your wife?”
Her words caused Samuel to freeze. It was the truth. Having been married to him for three years,
she had never disappointed him in any way. She had done well in every aspect and carried things
out wlessly, especially in bed. Kathleen had always given in to him and had tried to satisfy him in
every way. That was the only thing he felt reluctant to give up on. “Good, then.” Samuel turned
around and stepped into the walk-in closet to change his clothes. Wrapped in the nket, Kathleen
was lost in thought. Is this the end? Even though she was upset, she knew that it wasn’t up to her.
After Samuel left, she got out of bed as well. She went to wash up, then put on a pretty dress in
preparation to go see Diana. However, the moment she left, she bumped into Tyson Hackney.
Kathleen had her arms crossed as she looked at him with displeasure. “What?” Tyson was
confused. Mrs. Macari is certainly an enigma. She acts like a cute, innocent little rabbit in front of
Mr. Macari, but in front of me, she’s like a hostile version of Hello Kitty. “Mr. Macari wants me to take
you for a checkup,” Tyson said. “Hmph!” Kathleen was visibly annoyed. “I can’t believe how little
trust you have in me.” Tyson didn’t know how to reply to that. “Take me to Goodwill Hospital,”
Kathleen said specifically. It was the number one private hospital in Jadeborough that was equipped
with the best medical equipment and the most qualified doctors in the country. Seeing that there
was an unfathomable look in Tyson’s eyes, Kathleen asked frostily, “What is it? Too expensive for
you?” “N-No.” Tyson didn’t know how to exin. “Please get in, Mrs. Macari.” Kathleen stepped
outside,pletely bare-faced, but she still looked stunning. After she got in the car, all she did was
stare out the window. She had chosen Goodwill Hospital not because she wanted to act superior,
but because her parents had worked there as doctors and she was born there. Everyone working
there, from the director to the nurses, all knew who she was. They all treated her as if she was part
of their family. On top of that, they would undoubtedly agree to help her if she ever asked for it. A
long whileter, Tyson piped up, “We’re here, Mrs. Macari.” Kathleen came back to her senses and
realized they had arrived at the entrance of the hospital. She pushed the car door open and stepped
out. Tyson followed her from behind. He wanted to say something but eventually held his tongue.
When they got to the entrance of the obstetrics and gynecology department, Kathleen turned
around. “Stop right there, Mr. Hackney. Men aren’t allowed to go in.” The moment Tyson saw the
sign on the door, a wave of embarrassment washed over him. “Understood.” Truthfully speaking,
Mr. Macari should have been the one toe here with her. She’s his wife, after all. What’s the
point of me going with her? Kathleen turned and walked in. “Ms. Williams,” she greeted the doctor.
Quinn Williams was dumbstruck at the sight of her. “It’s you, Kate! I thought it was just someone
with the same name as you when I saw the papers earlier.” “Yeah, it’s me,” Kathleen uttered while
taking a seat. “So you’re here to check whether you’re pregnant or not?” Quinn asked in surprise.
Kathleen nodded. “I think I am pregnant, Ms. Williams. Can you help me hide it, though?” “Why?”
Quinn looked stunned. “I might be getting a divorce, Ms. Williams. I want to keep the child, but my
husband will never allow it. That’s why I really hope you can help me out, Ms. Williams,” Kathleen
begged. “How could you mess around like that, Kate?” Quinn was both angry and heartbroken. “DoOriginal from N?velDrama.Org.
you have any idea how hard it is to be a single mother?” Kathleen hung her head. “I know, Ms.
Williams, but I have money. I can still raise this child.” “This has nothing to do with money,” Quinn
protested. “Who on earth is your husband? When you told me you were getting married, I kept
asking you about it, but you refused to say. Tell me who your husband is right now. Is he treating
you like this because your parents aren’t around anymore?” “I think it’s better if you don’t know, Ms.
Williams.” It was impossible to decipher any emotion from Kathleen’s pale, delicate face. “I knew
that all of this would happen when I married him. Now that we’re getting a divorce, I have nothing to
comin about. That’s why I want you to help me out here, Ms. Williams. Once we’re divorced, I’ll
leave this ce with the child.” It’s not like I can stay. Samuel will definitely find out. Quinn felt as if
her heart was being ripped in half. She’s suffering because she’s all alone and there’s no one to
support her. “Kate, if you really don’t have any other choice, you should try and plead with Old Mrs.
Macari. She sees you as her own granddaughter after all,” Quinn suggested, not knowing what was
going on behind the scenes. “Samuel treats you like his own sister, too, doesn’t he? I’m sure he’ll
deal with that husband of yours.” Kathleen averted her gaze. “This is the only thing I can’t go to the
Macari family for, Ms. Williams. Just help me out here, please?” “All right.” Quinn frowned. “Lie
down for now and let me have a look.” “Okay.” After the checkup, Quinn pushed her sses up and
stated, “You’re already eight weeks in, but it seems that you’re a little anemic because of your weak
body. You should eat more nutritious food.” “I was a premature baby, so my body’s always been a
little weak. It’s how I’ve always been,” Kathleen muttered glumly. “Does your husband not know
about this?” Quinn inquired in a serious tone. “He never asked, so I never brought it up,” Kathleen
answered in dejection. Even though Samuel had always been generous when it came to providing
her with daily necessities, he never had any questions regarding her health. Instead, he would get
Maria to take care of it. His only responsibility was to provide her with money. Quinn let out a sigh,
then passed Kathleen a report. “This is what you wanted. I hope you can think things through,
Kate.” Kathleen stared at the report in front of her. Her lips quirked up. “What I want doesn’t matter.
When ites to my marriage, my husband has the final say.” Just as she got up to leave, Quinn
called out, “Kate, is your husband—”
