chapter 12
Samuel read Nicolette’s message and frowned. Then, he texted: I have found you a bone marrow
match. All we have to do is wait for the donor to say yes. Nicolette was surprised and asked: Why
didn’t you tell me earlier? Seeing that, Samuel replied: I wanted to wait for the donor to agree before
telling you. She questioned: Did the donor ask for anything? Does the donor want money or a
house and a car? Samuel answered: It’splicated. Anyway, you don’t have to worry. I’ll handle it.
Nicolette texted: Okay, Samuel. I trust you. After seeing that, Samuel wrote: You should get some
rest. I’ll head over in the morning. Nicolette responded: Okay. With that, Samuel put down his phone
and looked at Kathleen’s delicate and pale face coldly. What am I supposed to do to get her to
agree to donate her bone marrow to Nicolette? Is not getting a divorce the only way? Samuel stared
at Kathleen’s face for a while and suddenly realized that he didn’t detest living the rest of his life
with her. However, he liked Nicolette more. Thus, he didn’t have a choice. When Kathleen woke up,
Samuel had already left. She walked out of the room. Seeing that, Maria, the housekeeper, rushed
over. “Mrs. Macari, you’re up. Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?” Kathleen nodded in
reply. “Okay. You should go and wash up while I heat up the food,” Maria said thoughtfully. Kathleen
had a weak stomach, so she couldn’t eat anything that was too cold. Maria knew that better than
Samuel. With that, Kathleen turned around and went to wash up. After she was done, she sat at the
dining table. Maria had prepared a western-style breakfast. However, when Kathleen smelled the
smell of milk, she felt nauseous. She hurriedly covered her mouth and ran into the bathroom. When
Maria saw that, she was worried. “Mrs. Macari, what’s wrong?” Maria asked. “My stomach is not
feeling well. Maria, I don’t like the western-style breakfast. Can you prepare something else for
me?” Kathleen said impassively. In the past, she ate the same type of breakfast every day just to
amodate Samuel. In fact, she hated it. Kathleen much preferred warm food. “Okay.” Maria
nodded and said, “I’ll go prepare some pasta for you.” “All right.” With that, Kathleen quickly rinsed
her mouth and walked out of the bathroom. Meanwhile, Maria swiftly cooked a bowl of pasta for her.
“Mrs. Macari, did you visit the hospital to find out why your stomach was unwell?” Maria asked
meaningfully, hinting at something. “You and Mr. Macari are young, so you might not have
experience in some areas.” She was trying to sound subtle. “Maria, I’m not pregnant. I did visit the
doctors, and they told me that it was because my stomach is weak,” Kathleen exined. After Maria
realized that she had misunderstood the situation, she smiled awkwardly and apologized, “Sorry,
Mrs. Macari. I saw you feeling nauseous and assumed that it was morning sickness.” “I know.”
Kathleen smiled softly and said, “Maria, don’t tell Samuel. Otherwise, he’ll get worried and force me
to get it checked out at the hospital. If that happens, I’ll be forced to eat a whole bunch of medicine
again.” “Okay.” Maria nodded. “You can get back to work now. I’ll put the te and cutlery in the
sink after I’m done,” Kathleen said. “Okay.” Maria knew that Kathleen liked to be alone. Thus, she
said, “Mrs. Macari, I’ll go do theundry.” “Go ahead,” Kathleen replied. With that, Maria turned and
left. Kathleen then silently finished her pasta. She still remembered what she had said to Samuel
and remembered that she was about to get a divorce from him that day. Hence, after she finished
her breakfast, she put her household registry and marriage certificate into her bag and left the
house. Halfway through the journey, she called Samuel and said, “I’ve arrived.” “What do you
mean?” Samuel frowned. “I’m at City Hall,” Kathleen responded. “Didn’t we agree to get a divorce
so that you and Nicolette can finally be together? As for your grandmother, we will tell her after she
recovers.” “I’m not free today,” Samuel replied coldly. “Then when will you be free?” Kathleen asked
grimly. “Give me a date.” “Are you in a rush to divorce me?” He sounded displeased. “Aren’t you the
one who is anxious to get a divorce?” Kathleen was frustrated. “Who was the one who forced me to
tell your grandmother about our divorce? Yet, now you are saying that I’m the one who is rushing to
get a divorce.” “You haven’t signed the divorce papers yet,” Samuel replied coldly. “The house and
the money that I’ve promised you will only take effect after you sign the papers.” “Haha.” Kathleen
couldn’t help butugh mockingly at herself. “Samuel, do you think that I married you for your
money because I’m an orphan?” “Why else?” he asked. His words were as hurtful as ever. Hearing
that, Kathleen felt as if her heart had shattered into pieces. “Turns out that in your eyes, I am just a
greedy woman.” Is Kathleen greedy? I don’t think so. She has never asked me for anything, and
she never wanted anything. The things that I gave her were all out of my own will. Perhaps it is
because she is too sensible and well-behaved, or maybe it’s because she is good in bed. In short, I
want to give her the best of everything. “Samuel, I don’t want anything from you. I don’t even want
you as my husband anymore. Why would I want your things?” Kathleen buried her face in her coat.
Then, in a soft but cold voice, she said, “Stop wasting time ande over so we can get a divorce!”
She was fed up. With a darkened face, Samuel thought. How dare she order me around? “I’m not
going!” With that, he hung up the phone. Kathleen was speechless. “Kathleen?” Benjamin never
thought he would bump into her at City Hall. Kathleen was slightly taken aback. “Benjamin? Why
are you here?” “Why are you here?” Benjamin asked her the same question. “I’m here to deal with
some affairs.” Kathleen was embarrassed to tell him that she was at City Hall to get a divorce.
“Well, I’m here to investigate a criminal’s household registry for a case,” Benjamin exined. “Have
you finished dealing with your affairs?” “No.” Kathleen sighed and said, “I have toe and deal
with it next time.” After a moment of hesitation, Benjamin asked, “It’s almost noon. May I treat you to
lunch?” “Okay.” Kathleen nodded. “But you have to let me treat you. Consider it as a token of
appreciation for saving my life.” “There’s no need to be so courteous.” Benjamin smiled and said,
“My car is that way.” “Let’s go.” Kathleen smiled sweetly. With that, Benjamin and Kathleen left the
City Hall. “Is your leg feeling better?” Benjamin questioned. “It’s much better,” Kathleen replied. “It
doesn’t hurt anymore.” “That’s good to hear.” Benjamin focused on the road as he drove, and
Kathleen noticed that he had a sharp jawline. “What do you want to eat?” “Anything except for
western food.” At that moment, Kathleen no longer liked cold and dry food. “Okay.” Later, Benjamin
took Kathleen to a restaurant that sold eastern food. They ordered a few simple dishes. Then, he
watched Kathleen eat affectionately. She still munches on her food adorably like a squirrel, just like
when she was a kid. “Kathleen, what are you doing for a living?” Benjamin asked. “I am
unemployed,” Kathleen replied. “However, that’s going to change soon.” After hearing that,
Benjamin pursed his lips. “Kathleen, I heard everythingst night. You and Samuel…” “We are
going to get a divorce soon.” Kathleen knew that Benjamin was a policeman, so there was nothing
that he couldn’t find out. With just some digging around, he could easily find out about her
rtionship with Samuel. “Back when your parents passed away, the Macari family took you in and
raised you. I never thought that you would get married to their son, Samuel.” The expression onPublished by N?v''elD/rama.Org.

Benjamin’s face suddenly turned grim. “However, why are you getting a divorce?” Kathleen is kind
and perfect. Whoever marries her is lucky. I can’t believe that Samuel can be so ungrateful. How
can I let anyone bully my precious Kathleen, who I adore with all my heart?
