Kathleen turned around with a faint smile. “I don't intend to get you involved, Ms.
Williams.”-
With that, she proceeded to make her way out.
Tears began to drip down Quinn's face.
Kathleen's mother used to be her mentor, yet there was nothing she could do to help Kathleen.
She didn't know how she was going to face her own mentor.
When Kathleen came out of the obstetrics and gynecology department, she showed Tyson the report in her hands. “Take a good look. I'm not pregnant, so you can go now.
What she said made Tyson feel awkward.
“Where are you heading, Mrs. Macari? I'll send you there.” Here, he paused and added in a softer voice, “Mr. Macari told me to.”
“I don't like being followed around. You can tell Samuel that I will look for Grandma, but I have something else to do right now,” Kathleen declared.
“Understood.” Tyson nodded.
Kathleen turned and left.
After taking two steps, she realized that she had forgotten to take her phone, so she went back to get it.
When she came out again, someone stopped her by calling her name.
“Kathleen.” Nicolette's voice traveled into her ears.
Kathleen froze. How did I end up bumping into her?
She turned around quietly and looked at Nicolette, who was dressed in a hospital gown and looked a little pale.
Even so, she still looked gorgeous.
Despite the physical resemblance between them, their temperaments were completely different.
Kathleen was alluring, but there was something innocent about her.
Nicolette, on the other hand, was purely priggish.
The two of them were worlds apart.
Kathleen furrowed her brows and asked, “Why are you here?”
Nicolette stared back at her icily. A glint of envy flashed in her gaze. “I've been admitted to the hospital for leukemia.”
“Leukemia?” “Samuel was the one who arranged for me to get admitted here.” Nicolette smirked. “Oh, right, I heard that the treatment for leukemia in this hospital was perfected by your parents.”
Her words disgusted Kathleen. She didn't like the idea of Nicolette receiving the treatment that her parents had perfected.
“Good luck with your treatment, then,” Kathleen said emotionlessly.
She wanted to leave, but Nicolette stopped her again. “Give Samuel back to me, Kathleen.”
Kathleen paused.
“If it isn't because you snatched him away, I would have been the one who married Samuel three years ago. Because of you, we were separated for so many years, and now, this is the state that my body's in. Do you still intend to have him all to yourself? He doesn't even love you!” Nicolette continued.
Kathleen remained expressionless. “What a joke. If he wants to get a divorce, then he should be the one talking to me about it. Why are you the one saying it? Is he that much of a coward?”
The truth was, she knew that Nicolette had only said that on purpose to provoke her and let her know just how much Samuel cared about Nicolette.
Even though Kathleen was aware of it, that didn't change the fact that it hurt.
She had loved him for so many years, after all.
“Samuel just feels bad,” Nicolette muttered through gritted teeth. “You think it's natural for you to be with Samuel because you lost your parents and Old Mrs. Macari likes you. But you seem to have forgotten that he doesn't love you. Not even a tiny bit!”
“How can you be so sure?” Kathleen challenged.
Nicolette was dazed upon hearing that.
“Why would he touch me if he didn't love me?” Kathleen continued taunting.
Nicolette trembled slightly. Right then, she looked behind Kathleen. “Samuel?”
Kathleen froze for a second and smiled calmly. I guess I fell for it in the end.
She turned around and was greeted by the sight of a cold, striking man.
“I came here to get a checkup. I'll be on my way now,” Kathleen said.
