chapter 3


    Kathleen turned around with a faint smile. “I don’t intend to get you involved, Ms. Williams.” With


    that, she proceeded to make her way out. Tears began to drip down Quinn’s face. Kathleen’s


    mother used to be her mentor, yet there was nothing she could do to help Kathleen. She didn’t


    know how she was going to face her own mentor. When Kathleen came out of the obstetrics and


    gynecology department, she showed Tyson the report in her hands. “Take a good look. I’m not


    pregnant, so you can go now.” What she said made Tyson feel awkward. “Where are you heading,


    Mrs. Macari? I’ll send you there.” Here, he paused and added in a softer voice, “Mr. Macari told me


    to.” “I don’t like being followed around. You can tell Samuel that I will look for Grandma, but I have


    something else to do right now,” Kathleen dered. “Understood.” Tyson nodded. Kathleen turned


    and left. After taking two steps, she realized that she had forgotten to take her phone, so she went


    back to get it. When she came out again, someone stopped her by calling her name. “Kathleen.”


    Nicolette’s voice traveled into her ears. Kathleen froze. How did I end up bumping into her? She


    turned around quietly and looked at Nicolette, who was dressed in a hospital gown and looked a


    little pale. Even so, she still looked gorgeous. Despite the physical resemnce between them,


    their temperaments werepletely different. Kathleen was alluring, but there was something


    innocent about her. Nicolette, on the other hand, was purely priggish. The two of them were worlds


    apart. Kathleen furrowed her brows and asked, “Why are you here?” Nicolette stared back at her


    icily. A glint of envy shed in her gaze. “I’ve been admitted to the hospital for leukemia.”


    “Leukemia?” “Samuel was the one who arranged for me to get admitted here.” Nicolette smirked.


    “Oh, right, I heard that the treatment for leukemia in this hospital was perfected by your parents.”


    Her words disgusted Kathleen. She didn’t like the idea of Nicolette receiving the treatment that her


    parents had perfected. “Good luck with your treatment, then,” Kathleen said emotionlessly. She


    wanted to leave, but Nicolette stopped her again. “Give Samuel back to me, Kathleen.” Kathleen


    paused. “If it isn’t because you snatched him away, I would have been the one who married Samuel


    three years ago. Because of you, we were separated for so many years, and now, this is the state


    that my body’s in. Do you still intend to have him all to yourself? He doesn’t even love you!”


    Nicolette continued. Kathleen remained expressionless. “What a joke. If he wants to get a divorce,


    then he should be the one talking to me about it. Why are you the one saying it? Is he that much of


    a coward?” The truth was, she knew that Nicolette had only said that on purpose to provoke her and


    let her know just how much Samuel cared about Nicolette. Even though Kathleen was aware of it,


    that didn’t change the fact that it hurt. She had loved him for so many years, after all. “Samuel just


    feels bad,” Nicolette muttered through gritted teeth. “You think it’s natural for you to be with Samuel


    because you lost your parents and Old Mrs. Macari likes you. But you seem to have forgotten that


    he doesn’t love you. Not even a tiny bit!” “How can you be so sure?” Kathleen challenged. Nicolette


    was dazed upon hearing that. “Why would he touch me if he didn’t love me?” Kathleen continued


    taunting. Nicolette trembled slightly. Right then, she looked behind Kathleen. “Samuel?” Kathleen


    froze for a second and smiled calmly. I guess I fell for it in the end. She turned around and was


    greeted by the sight of a cold, striking man. “I came here to get a checkup. I’ll be on my way now,”


    Kathleen said. “And what were the results?” Samuel questioned in a frigid voice. Kathleen pulled


    out theb report and stuffed it into his suit pocket. With a grin on her face, she answered, “Don’t


    worry. I’m not pregnant.” Samuel took the report with a slight difort in his heart. Truthfully


    speaking, he had had his hopes up. However, the feeling soon dissipated. “Well, since you’re not


    pregnant, let’s discuss the future,” he suggested in an unconcerned manner. “Are you sure you


    want to talk about that here?” Kathleen looked aggrieved. “I haven’t even eaten yet just so I could


    get a checkup.” “Go eat, then,” Samuel responded impassively. “Take me there.” Kathleen smiled.


    “We can talk while we eat.” Samuel stared at her without any warmth in his eyes. “Don’t try anything


    funny.” Kathleen giggled, which was music to one’s ears. “If I had tried anything funny, you would


    have been kneeling in front of Grandma at this moment. All I’m asking is that you join me for a


    meal.” Samuel furrowed his brows. “You can go with her, Samuel. I’ll wait for you in the hospital,”


    Nicolette piped up, pretending to be understanding. Kathleen beamed and grabbed Samuel’s arm.


    “If you say so, Ms. Yoeger. Let’s go, then. There’s a ce nearby that I’ve been wanting to try for a


    while.” Nicolette watched as they linked arms with venom in her eyes. Samuel nced at her and


    said, “Go back to the ward and get some rest. I’ll be back soon.” “Okay.” Nicolette bit her lip. “Hurry

    back. Let’s eat lunch together.” “Sure.” Samuel nodded. Kathleen dragged him outside, and they


    went to the nearby restaurant that she had mentioned. She took one menu, looking rxed. “What


    are you getting, Sam?” “I’m not eating.” “You’re trying to save some room in your stomach to have


    lunch with Nicoletteter, right? I get it.” Kathleen gestured for the waiter. “Can I get one quinoa


    sd? Also, I want a te of chicken drumsticks. Thanks.” “Sure.” The waiter nodded, then walked


    away. Samuel knitted his eyebrows. “Why are you eating so much?” He knew that Kathleen typically


    had a small appetite. She would be full after just a few bites. “Really, Sam? I only ordered a bowl of


    quinoa sd and some chicken drumsticks, and you think I’m eating too much? Has yourpany


    gone bankrupt or something? Are you poor now?” “Just eat.” Sometimes, her cheekiness was


    adorable. Other times, however, it was in infuriating. Even so, Samuel had to admit that it hadn’t


    been too bad waiting for Nicolette toe back for the past three years with Kathleen by his side.


    When the food was served, Kathleen began to dig in. She was practically starving at that point, and


    so was the baby she was carrying. As she chewed her sd, her cheeks puffed up. That action of


    hers was incredibly cute, and she looked just like a squirrel. “What did you want to say to me?”


    Kathleen asked softly. “What did Nicolette tell you just now?” Kathleen frowned. Is he trying to settle


    the score? “She told me that she had leukemia.” “That’s true. I went to check for a bone marrow


    match for her. Surprisingly enough, there’s a donor in this hospital whose blood type is a perfect


    match for her. Can you guess who it is?” Kathleen’s eyelid twitched. “You mean… me?”Original from N?velDrama.Org.
