Fell in Love With You in the Wrong Time novel Chapter 271

Kathleen woke up in the middle of the night, and the first thing she noticed was Samuel sleeping beside her.

Why are we sleeping on the same bed again? Didn't I ask Tyson not to tell Samuel? He's useless!

Just as that thought flashed across her mind, she noticed something was off.

There were a lot of star-shaped lamps hung in the room, emitting a warm yellow glow, providing her a sense of relaxation.

The lights illuminated the room, acting as nightlights that chased the darkness away.

Did Samuel prepare all these because he knows I'm afraid of the dark?

As that thought came to mind, her heart skipped a beat.

Samuel claimed he would draw a line between the two of them, but in truth, he still couldn't persuade himself to pull away.

Since he couldn't, Kathleen decided that she would.

Hence, she got off the bed cautiously and prepared to head outside after grabbing her coat.

She opened the door and was surprised to see the whole floor being decorated with star-shaped lamps.

“Are you leaving?” Samuel's deep voice sounded behind her, causing her to freeze on the spot.

He's awake?

“Yeah. You should stay here and get plenty of rest,” she said without looking at him.

With that, she was about to march away when Samuel grabbed her wrist from behind, pulling her back.

She was already quite weak, so she fell into his arms right away.

He held her and asked hoarsely, “Why are you pushing yourself? You're clearly not fine.”

She frowned. “Samuel, please let me go”

“Unless you promise me that you'll recuperate in the ward for half a month, I won't let you go,” he said coldly.

She glowered at him and replied, “I'm fine. I'm feeling okay.”

“Kathleen, don't push me into doing something to myself. I know I can't do anything to you, but I can easily end myself,” threatened Samuel in a glacial tone.

Before Kathleen could respond, she was carried back into the room. “You're coming back with me!”

He placed her on the bed and pinned her down, ordering, “Stay put and don't move. You don’t have to worry about anything that's going on out there. All you have to do is rest.”

“Vivian's burial is tomorrow. I'm going.” Kathleen struggled to break free.

Samuel stared at her with an icy look in his eyes. “I'll let you go, but for now, you must get plenty of rest. Or else, I'll stab myself in the stomach.”

Upon finishing his sentence, he grabbed a knife and pointed it at his belly, proving to her that he wasn’t messing around.

Kathleen was caught in a tough spot.

“Fine. Put the knife down. I won’t leave.” In the end, she had no choice, as she knew the man was definitely serious.

“Then close your eyes and sleep,” he commanded as he stood by the bed. She looked at him helplessly. “Put the knife down first. I won't leave. I swear.”

However, he remained standing there motionlessly as if he was not going to yield until she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Since she knew his condition was worse than hers, she could only give in. “Okay, I'll sleep. You should go and rest, too.”

When she lay down, he sat by her bed and said, “I'll watch you fall asleep.”

Kathleen intertwined both her hands and placed them on her abdomen.

“Do you know how you were poisoned?”

“I'll investigate it.” The man's voice was devoid of emotions.

Kathleen furrowed her brows slightly. “You must've been extra careful with your daily diet after the Yoeger family tried to poison you last time. The only thing that could make you let your guard down were the medicines I prescribed for you, right?”

“How did you know?” he queried.

“It was just a guess. How can someone tamper with my medication? I bet that person has a death wish,” she said, fuming.

In a half-joking manner, Samuel said, “I'm surprised you didn't suspect it was Caleb who wanted me dead.”

“He won't try to kill you. I trust him,” she said solemnly.

Caleb wouldn't do something so immoral.Ifhe were exposed after committing such a crime, it would be embarrassing.

Samuel chuckled when he heard that, but he was dispirited.
