chapter 4
Samuel nodded. This is unbelievable. Seriously, what a f*cking cruel twist of fate! Kathleen, who
yed the part of a gentle princess most of the time, cursed internally. Is God ying tricks on me?
“I’m not going to donate to her.” Kathleen bit her lip. “I will never donate my bone marrow to a
woman who destroyed my family and stole my husband away.” Truth was, those actually didn’t
matter that much. What mattered was that she was pregnant with a child, so she couldn’t donate
her bone marrow. However, she couldn’t tell Samuel about that. If he found out, he would force her
to get rid of the baby. “I’ll do anything you want as long as you agree to be her donor,” Samuel
offered generously. “Even if it means not getting a divorce?” Kathleen muttered with her head
lowered. She didn’t want him to notice the sorrow in her gaze. Samuel fell silent. Looks like he can’t
let Nicolette go. Even if he agrees to my request, that’s only because he wants to save Nicolette’s
life. He’s willing to sacrifice his marriage and happiness for her. What an admirable show of love.
“You shouldn’t get too greedy, Kathleen,” Samuel said. “Even if I did it to save Nicolette’s life, you
should know that I don’t love you.” Kathleen’s face paled. Those words were like a dagger stabbing
through her heart. It was as if fresh blood was pooling out, and it hurt like never before. “And what if
I insist on keeping this dead love alive?” Kathleen slowly lifted her gaze and revealed her sparkling
eyes. “You won’t get anything from it, then. It doesn’t matter what aspect you’re talking about.” “It’s
the first time I’ve found you so disgusting, Samuel.” Kathleen put down the spoon in her hand. “You
said I’m greedy, but aren’t you the same? You want to divorce me so that you can be with Nicolette.
Fine, I agreed to that. But don’t you think you’re being too brutal to ask me to save her life
now?” Does he even know how much I love him? How can he be so cruel to torture me like
this? “You can’t have the best of both worlds, Samuel. It’s just like me and you.” She had loved him
for ten years, but that love had only turned into a source of pain to her. “You’re absolutely
avaricious.” Samuel stood up to leave. Kathleen gave a self-deprecating chuckle and muttered to
herself, “That’s right. I’m avaricious. I want everything—I want you, and I want your heart.” She lost
her appetite then. There was no way she could take another bite. After getting out of the restaurant,
she went to the Macari residence. Diana had had a stroke a while ago, and her condition had only
improved recently. When Kathleen saw the kind old woman, she couldn’t bring herself to tell her
about the divorce. “Grandma,” she greeted before taking a seat beside the bed. “Katie, you’re here.”
Diana was all smiles at the sight of Kathleen. Out of everyone in the Macari family, she was the one
who liked Kathleen the most. It wasn’t just Kathleen’s parents who had saved her life, but also
Kathleen herself. Back when Diana had an abrupt stroke attack, Kathleen was the one who had
stayed calm and saved her. Even the doctor had said that if Kathleen hadn’t acted fast, Diana would
have already lost her life. However, only Diana, Kathleen, and the doctor knew about it. Everyone
else was kept in the dark. Diana took Kathleen’s hand in hers with a sigh. “I never knew that you
were well-versed in so many things.” Kathleen felt embarrassed. “That’s what my family specializes
in, Grandma. Even though my parents practiced modern medicine, my granddad was a practitioner
of traditional medicine. I only learned a few basics from him. I didn’t think that they would be of any
practical use.” “Rx. I’m not questioning you,” Diana reassured. Her heart ached as she
continued, “I just feel that your marriage with Samuel is holding you back. Otherwise, with your
talent, you can go as far as you want.” Kathleen’s eyes began to water. She knew that Diana was
the one who understood her most in the entire Macari family. “You wouldn’t have made so many
sacrifices if not for the fact that you loved Samuel so much.” Diana sighed. “It’s unfortunate that he’s
an ignorant child. He knows nothing.” “Don’t tell him about it, Grandma. I don’t want to burden him,”
Kathleen begged. “Okay, I won’t tell him,” Diana promised. “You and Samuel have been married for
three years now, Katie. Why isn’t there any news yet?” Kathleen’s cheeks flushed red. “Grandma, I
—” “Don’t listen to him. Are you really not going to have a child just because he says so?” Diana cut
her off. “You should hurry up and have a kid and tie him down so that even if Nicolettees back,
she won’t be a match for you.” Kathleen was dumbfounded. Nicolette had alreadye back. Even
if they had a child, she still wouldn’t be a match for Nicolette. Samuel was much more ruthless than
they thought, and he waspletely devoid of emotion. Kathleen took Diana’s pulse and shed a
smile. “You’ve gotten a lot better, Grandma.” “That’s good. I’d like to live a few more years so I can
see you have a baby, Katie.” Diana smiled amiably and expectantly. “Of course.” Kathleen chatted
with Diana for a bit longer, then got up to take her leave. Right when she stepped out of Diana’sN?velDrama.Org owns this.

room, she bumped into Wynnie Staines, Samuel’s mother. “Mom,” Kathleen greeted respectfully.
Wynnie was different from most mothers-inw. She wasn’t the picky kind, nor was she incredibly
weing. Instead, she was standoffish and cold. Even so, she had never insulted Kathleen in any
way, nor had she looked down on her. Kathleen felt that it was a good thing. That was why she held
Wynnie in high regard. “Mm.” Wynnie was a sophisticated woman in her forties. She was wearing a
professional suit with high heels and was still working hard as awyer. “I’m here to see Grandma,”
Kathleen said. She looked as adorable as a little rabbit. Wynnie, in fact, liked her a lot. She just
wasn’t ustomed to expressing herself that much. That was one thing she had inmon with
Samuel. The only difference was that Wynnie liked Kathleen and cared for her a lot. To her,
Kathleen was a delicate young girl who was as pure as snow. “I brought some crabs home. Let’s
have dinner together,” Wynnie said. One of her clients had given them to her. She didn’t want to
ept them at first, but she had done so because she knew that Kathleen liked them. She had
even wanted to call Samuel and get him to bring Kathleen over for dinner. But surprisingly, Kathleen
was already there. It was true that Kathleen really enjoyed eating crabs. In the past, she could eat
five all on her own. On top of that, Samuel would help her with the shells. When she thought about
it, she realized that they had shared quite a few intimate moments. The only thing was that there
was no love in them. Even though she liked crabs very much, she felt absolutely disgusted when
she thought of the taste right then. She immediately turned and dashed into the bathroom before
vomiting into the sink. Wynnie came in and watched as Kathleen washed her mouth with some
water from the door. Kathleen wiped her hands with a towel and said, “My stomach hasn’t been
feeling welltely, Mom.” Wynnie’s eyes darkened. “Did you go for a checkup?” “I did. The doctor
told me to get enough rest.” Kathleen pursed her lips. Wynnie hesitated for a moment and asked,
“Nicolette’s back. Do you know that?”
