deserves to suffer. He has chosen to believe Elena, after all. “That’s right. Are you here to visit the

kids?” Gemma said nonchalantly. Samuel nodded. “I saw the news. Congratulations on finally

reconciling with Kate. You two have been through a lot.” She was genuinely happy for them. “Thank

you for helping her take care of the kids,” he expressed his gratitude. “You’re being too polite. I am their

godmother, after all.” Samuel uttered solemnly, “I’ll have to rush back later. I’ll need to continue

troubling you with them.” “All right.” Gemma nodded. “How long do you reckon you two will stay busy?”

“We will return here once Old Mrs. Lester’s condition stabilizes,” Samuel replied. “I got it.” Gemma

smiled faintly. “Tell Kate not to worry. I’ll make sure the kids are safe and sound.” “Okay.” Samuel patted

his children’s heads. “I’m going back to meet with your Mommy. You two stay at home obediently and

listen to Gemma. Do you hear me?” “Rest assured, Daddy. I’ll take good care of Desi,” said Eilam. The

little girl pouted at her brother’s words. “I don’t need someone to take care of me. I’m a grown-up now.”

Samuel beamed at them affectionately. “Okay. In that case, take good care of yourselves.” “Daddy, we

will wait for you and Mommy to come back!” Anticipation filled Desiree’s voice. She knew her parents

had truly reconciled this time. “Okay.” Samuel nodded. He stood up, turned around, and left. Desiree

held Eilam’s hand and chirped, “Eil, Mommy and Daddy are finally back together. They won’t split up

again after this!” “Yes.” Eilam was delighted too. However, he was not as expressive as his sister.

Samuel got into the car heading back to Nardor. Just then, Richard sent him a text message: Samuel,

can you help me ask Kathleen where did she bury Gem? Samuel replied: I can’t help you, Richard.

You’re still far too kind toward Elena. She is significantly related to Gemma’s accident, yet you only held

her captive and continued caring for her, providing her with food and drinks. You’ll regret this sooner or

later. Richard felt anguished. He responded: What should I do then? Samuel: Do I need to teach you

what to do? Deal with this matter without letting your feelings cloud your judgment. He placed down his

phone after sending out the message. Then, he took a walk down the memory lane. Nicolette hurt

Kathleen, and he had let Nicolette off the hook because she saved his life. His decision had allowed

Nicolette the chance to harm Kathleen for a second time. That decision had also became his deepest

remorse. He gave that heartfelt advice to Richard because he did not want Richard to regret his

actions. As for Samuel, he would no longer show Nicolette any mercy as well.

An hour later, Samuel arrived at the hospital. He had left the hospital for four hours since his departure

earlier. Thus, he figured the surgery should be ending soon. Just as Samuel entered the hospital,

Francis exited the elevator. “You’re back?” Samuel nodded indifferently. “How’s the operation?” “It’s a

great success.” Francis grinned. “Kate was simply superb. I heard the doctors and nurses who worked

alongside her in the operating theatre compliment her extraordinary medical skills.” “That goes without

saying.” Samuel felt proud. “I’ll check on her.” Now that the surgery had ended, he was afraid that the

members of the Lester family would inform Kathleen of the entire truth when she was in that exhausted

state. “Go on.” Francis nodded. “I’m going back to grab some things.” Samuel bobbed his head before

going into the elevator. He stepped out of the elevator upon arriving at the seventh floor. Anthony and

the others walked in his direction. “You’re back, Samuel. Kate is inside the office. You should go and

look for her there,” Suzie uttered. “Thank you.”

Samuel strode toward the office at once. The hospital vacated the office at the last minute. In the

morning, Samuel had bid his farewell to Kathleen there. He knocked, pushed the door open, and

entered. He saw Kathleen sitting on the chair, sleeping. She was obviously worn out. Kathleen had

been preparing for the surgery for a few days. In addition, she had to keep herself focused for four

hours straight just now. Therefore, she was overwhelmed by fatigue the moment she was allowed to

rest. Samuel shuffled lightly to her side, took off his coat, and draped the outerwear on her body. Then,

he sat down aside and took out his phone to deal with some matters. Kathleen slept for a long time.

She did not regain her senses until night fell. “Samuel.” She straightened herself on the chair and saw

the coat. Instantaneously, she knew it was his. Due to the unlit surroundings, she failed to discern

Samuel’s location momentarily. He stood up, walked to her side, and switched on the table lamp. “I’m

here.” The soft glow from the table lamp illuminated his handsome facial features, which were arranged

into a tender expression. “You’ve worked hard.” Samuel gently caressed her face. “Are you still

sleepy?” Kathleen shook her head. “I’m feeling much better. How long did I sleep?” “Six hours.” He

curled his thin lips. “Are you hungry?” “A little.” She stroked her stomach. “Let’s visit Old Mrs. Lester

before we have our meals.” “Sure.” Samuel nodded. Kathleen got to her feet, returned Samuel his coat,

and picked up her own outerwear before exiting the room. They arrived at the entrance of Betty’s ward

and glanced inside the room. The elderly lady did not require any family members to stay and

accompany her that night because there were professional doctors and nurses taking care of her.

Kathleen briefly examined Betty’s condition before leaving with Samuel. They walked out of the hospital

together. Nardor’s environment was comfortable as the temperature was just right. “Let’s take a walk,

Samuel,” Kathleen piped up. “Okay.” He nodded. Kathleen knew Samuel’s leg had yet to recover.

However, the hotel was merely a five-minute walk from the hospital. “Did you meet with Ashley?” she

asked casually. Her question took him by surprise.

“Yes. I went to meet with her. I didn’t lie to you on purpose. I just…” “I know. You were just being

cautious. Don’t worry. I don’t mind,” she said in amusement. “She changed her name to Annabeth.

Walter sent her here since that incident. She didn’t know the mastermind behind her kidnapping was

Luna,” Samuel explained. Kathleen frowned. “Are you saying that Luna orchestrated that kidnapping

incident?” Samuel nodded calmly. “That’s right. Walter and his wife were blessed with Ashley when

they were close to fifty years old. Previously, Mrs. Zeller experienced multiple miscarriages, and those

misfortunes were also related to Luna.” “Luna did all those things for the sake of money? Because she

wants to take over the Zeller family’s assets?” Kathleen asked. “I think so. What other reason could

there be? She’s a very selfish person, to begin with.” Kathleen nodded. “Now that Walter and his family

know about this, they’ll never let Luna and the others go.” “I just received news that Walter and his wife

have gone back to the country. It seems like they’re going to settle the score with Luna,” Samuel said

with all seriousness. Kathleen glanced at the date. “There are seven days left.” Samuel furrowed his

brows. “What? Seven days?” “That’s the number of days until Trevor has to hand over the parcel.” A

cold glint flashed across her eyes.
