Samuel then uttered in his deep voice, “All right then.”
He stood up, and Kathleen found her gaze following him.
“I never expected us to go on separate ways like this,” Samuel said impassively.
Kathleen pursed her lips, saying nothing.
She knew that the Blissful Sect wanted to kill Samuel, but she also knew that she could not lose what the Blissful Sect could provide to her.
It was the only way to save Charles.
She had no other choice, for Charles was her only brother.
Samuel was wounded.
He knew for a fact that Charles was more important to Kathleen than he was.
Samuel started to cough as he covered his mouth. The palm of his hand was wet.
Kathleen looked at his hand and was slightly stunned. “Are you coughing blood again?”
“This is normal,” Samuel said nonchalantly. “From now on, my matters have nothing to do with you. You take good care of your brother.”
Then, he turned around to leave.
Kathleen was stunned momentarily before she retreated into a corner of the bed. Her eyes dimmed.
Ah, I should just let it all go.
She was tired of it all.
After a day's journey, they were back in Jadeborough.
A woman came to pick Kathleen up.
She was taken aback by the sight of the woman. “Giselle?”
Giselle Zahn nodded.
She came over and draped a jacket over Kathleen. “We'll talk in the car.”
“Okay,” Kathleen muttered and followed her.
Samuel's eyes glinted as he eyed Kathleen's leaving figure.
“Tyson, go investigate who that woman is,” Samuel ordered.
Tyson was slightly stunned.
He knew that Samuel and Kathleen had fallen out, for the two of them had not seen each other even when they were on the ship.
During the voyage, Samuel kept smoking, sending swirls of smoke into the air that the ship almost looked like it was on fire.
Noticing Samuel was down in the dumps, Tyson could not help but ask the man, to which Samuel had wistfully replied that he would not interfere in Kathleen's matters anymore.
Here he is again, worrying about Kathleen just because a woman approached her. Men are liars.
“All right.” Tyson nodded.
Kathleen followed Giselle into the car.
“Giselle, why are you not following my brother?” Kathleen asked worriedly.
“He sent me here to protect you,” Giselle replied.
“I’m going to be safe. You should have followed my brother.” Kathleen's brows were knitted as she sighed in worry.
“Mr. Johnson will only be at ease when he knows for certain that you are safe and sound,” Giselle explained.
Kathleen eyed the woman before her quietly before she said, “It's been a long time. How's your condition?”
“Thanks to your medicine, I'm doing much better,” Giselle replied impassively.
“Glad to hear that.” Kathleen nodded.
“I heard that Mr. Johnson's first love passed away?” Giselle asked after a brief pause.
“Yes. She chose to end her own life that way.” Kathleen sighed.
“No wonder Mr. Johnson sounded so distant,” Giselle muttered in a small voice.
Kathleen was stunned.
Giselle had never been one to display her emotions in front of others.
It was Kathleen's first time hearing her being vocal about Charles' impassiveness.
Kathleen regarded the woman intently and asked, “Giselle, do you have a crush on my brother?”
A flustered look darted across Giselle's face as she hurriedly said, “No.”
Kathleen furrowed her brows.
