chapter 8


    “Why aren’t you driving? Isn’t Nicolette waiting for you?” Kathleen asked coldly. Samuel had wanted


    Kathleen to take the front passenger seat, but he changed his mind when he heard what she said


    and started the engine. Neither of them spoke a word on the way home. The atmosphere in the car


    crackled with tension. Samuel felt that it was all Kathleen’s fault. If she had behaved like she was


    before, they would not have argued. Halfway through the journey, Samuel’s phone rang. It was


    Nicolette again. “What did you say? I’ll go over immediately.” Samuel suddenly stopped the car and


    turned to Kathleen. “Get down. I’ll ask Tyson toe and take you home.” Kathleen refused to


    move. “Get down.” “It’s almost twelve. Are you going to leave a girl here all by herself?” Kathleen’s


    heart wrenched. “Tyson will be here in five minutes.” Kathleen felt a sickening lurch in her heart. Her


    face was drained of color. Biting her lip, she got out of the car. “Five minutes. Tyson will be here


    soon. Wait here,” Samuel said. Kathleen lowered her head and kept quiet. She had nothing to say


    to Samuel anymore. Even if Samuel did not have any feelings for her, he should know that it was


    not safe to leave a girl by the road at this hour. Yet he had chosen to leave her by the road. Samuel


    nced at Kathleen. For some reason, he felt awful seeing her head hung low. Just then, his phone


    rang again. Nicolette needed him now. Without hesitation, Samuel drove away. Tears ran down


    Kathleen’s cheeks, falling to the ground. Five minutester, Tyson arrived to pick her up. However,


    there was no one on the road. Where is Mrs. Macari? Tyson tried to call Kathleen. However, no one


    answered the phone. Sensing that something was not right, Tyson quickly gave Samuel a call. “Did


    you find her? Remember to send her home safely. If she’s hungry, ask—” Samuel started talking the


    minute he picked up Tyson’s call. “Mr. Macari, Mrs. Macari is missing,” Tyson said in a quavering


    voice. “Missing?” Samuel frowned. “Yes. There’s no one on the road. I tried calling Mrs. Macari, but


    no one answered the phone.” Tyson was starting to feel nervous. “Send some men to look for her.


    You must find her no matter what,” Samuel bellowed. What should I do if something happens to


    her? “Okay.” Tyson hung up the phone and ordered some men to search for Kathleen with him.


    However, they could not find her within a ten-kilometer radius. Tyson checked the surveince


    cameras and got the shock of his life. Indeed, Kathleen had met with a bad guy. A man who


    appeared to be drunk had dragged her into an alley. Tyson’s face turned ashen, and he called


    Samuel immediately. Stunned, Samuel said, “I’ll be right there.” He stood up and was about to leave


    when Nicolette tugged at his sleeve. “Samuel, what’s the matter?” “Something happened to


    Kathleen.” “Something happened to Kathleen?” Nicolette pursed her lips. “Is she deliberately


    causing trouble because she doesn’t want to divorce you?” “No.” Samuel was very sure that it was


    not nned by Kathleen. He knew her to be a very simple person. “All right, then. Go quickly and


    come back soon. I’ll wait for you,” Nicolette said. Samuel nodded and walked out. Nicolette bit her


    lip. Kathleen, you’re really scheming, but it’s no use. Samuel is mine. Samuel rushed to the scene


    where Kathleen had gone missing. Tyson handed a phone to him. “Mr. Macari, this is Mrs. Macari’s


    phone. There’s blood on it.” A chill ran down Samuel’s spine. “Go find her! I want her dead or alive!”


    “Understood!” Tyson nodded and immediately ordered his men to search again. Samuel’s knuckles


    whitened as he gripped Kathleen’s phone. He prayed hard that nothing had happened to her. “Oh


    my god!” Gemma Young was shocked to see Benjamin Young carrying a girl, who was smeared


    with blood, into the house. “Stop talking nonsense! Move aside!” Benjamin growled. Gemma quickly


    moved to one side as Benjamin ced Kathleen on the couch. Gemma walked over. “Isn’t she…


    Kathleen?” “Yes. Bring me a towel.” Benjamin’s eyes were fixed on Kathleen. “Okay.” Gemma went


    to the bathroom and handed a wet towel to Benjamin. “Benjamin, what happened?” “I was on my


    way here to look for you when I saw a drunkard harassing a girl. I only realized that she was


    Kathleen after I saved her.” Benjamin helped Kathleen wipe her face. “Why is there blood?” Gemma


    frowned. “It belongs to the drunkard. She’s not hurt.” Gemma folded her arms. “Benjamin, shouldn’t


    you send her to the hospital?” “She asked me not to send her to the hospital before she passed


    out.” “Why?” Gemma did not understand at all. “How would I know?” Benjamin shrugged. “I’ll leave


    her with you. I’m leaving.” “Benjamin, where are you going? You have blood all over you. Will


    someone call the police if they see you in this state?” Gemma was worried about her brother. “I am


    the police. Who are they going to call? I’m going to the police station to check who her family is and


    give them a call.” Gemma’s face darkened. “Does she still have any family? She’s like us. Our


    parents are no longer around.” “I’ll still have to check.” Kathleen had muttered the name “Sam”Original from N?velDrama.Org.

    when she was conscious. Benjamin thought Sam must be her family, possibly her boyfriend. They


    had not seen each other for so long. Benjamin was not surprised that she now had a boyfriend.


    However, he was a little heartbroken. Benjamin left after instructing Gemma, “If Kathleen wakes up,


    ask her who else is there in her family. Give them a call and get them to pick her up. If she refuses


    to say, leave her alone. Don’t force her.” Gemma looked at Kathleen’s ashen face and sighed. She


    was wiping Kathleen’s face with a towel when Kathleen opened her eyes. “You’re awake.” Gemma


    sounded relieved. Stunned, Kathleen looked at Gemma in a daze. “Gem?” “Oh, you still remember


    me? I thought you’ve forgotten about me ever since you were adopted by the Macari family,”


    Gemma teased. Kathleen paused for a while. “I wasn’t adopted by the Macari family.” “Whatever it


    is, I’m d that you’re awake. Do you feel ufortable anywhere?” Gemma started to examine


    Kathleen. It had been so many years, and Kathleen was still as beautiful as before. “I’m feeling fine.


    Where is this ce?” Kathleen pursed her lips. “My house. My brother saved you. He asked me to


    call your family once you’re awake, in case they get worried.” Kathleen looked up in bewilderment.


    “I don’t have any family.” She would have nothing after she divorced Samuel. Gemma said wistfully,


    “That’s right. We have no family. We are all alone now.” “You still have Benjamin,” Kathleen


    corrected her. Gemma sighed. “Oh, do you want to give the Macari family a call?” Call the Macari


    family? What will Samuel do if he knows about it? Kathleen was put in a spot. If Diana and Wynnie


    knew that Samuel had left her ale at night, and she had almost been molested by a drunkard,


    Diana would know that Samuel had gone to look for Nicolette. It would incur Samuel’s wrath.
