The moment Samuel exited the mansion, he spotted Richard's car and walked over.
Richard was smoking with his windows rolled down, and his arm hanging outside the car.
The hand that usually held a scalpel currently had a cigarette between its fingers, giving off a depressing vibe.
When Richard saw Samuel approaching him, he tossed his cigarette and got out of the car.
“Did you find anything?” Samuel asked with a deep and icy voice.
“Nothing. By the time we went after them, the island was already empty,” said Richard with a complicated expression.
Samuel fell silent.
“What did Kathleen say?” Richard asked with a look of curiosity.
“She still doesn't want to talk about it,” Samuel said indifferently.
“Sam, time waits for no one. The male lovebug in your body shouldn’t be taken lightly.” Richard frowned.
“Don't forget, Yareli's the biggest threat.” “I know this better than you,” Samuel responded in an icy tone. “Gemma's staying here tonight. Why are you still here?”
“I thought you'd be staying for the night. That way, she won't have to stay,” said Richard coolly. “I just came back yesterday.”
“Forget about it. Kathleen treats me like a total stranger now,” Samuel said gloomily.
Richard snorted lightly. “Well, well. Finally getting a taste of your own medicine, eh? Remember how you hurt her in the past? Yet, she still returned and was reluctant to part with you. Now that she's forgotten all about you, all she has for you is indifference, no matter how much you care.”
Samuel stretched out his hand toward Richard. “Give me a cigarette.”
Richard handed Samuel one, and the latter lit it up.
“Have you heard of this saying?” Richard asked slowly. “'One would eventually have to pay for their evil deeds.' Because of Nicolette, you ignored Kathleen in the past. Well, serves you right. It's time you get a taste of your own medicine.”
Samuel glanced at Richard in displeasure. “Are you staying here just to make fun of me?”
Richard chuckled. “Anyway, do you want to have a drink? You're not taking care of your children tonight, anyway.”
Samuel shook his head. “No, thanks. I've been trying to keep to a healthy lifestyle lately.”
Richard was at a loss for words.
With that, Samuel entered his car and drove away, leaving behind a puzzled
Richard.
Did I hear that correctly? Did he just say “healthy lifestyle”?
Not long after, Samuel arrived at Florinia Manor.
The mansion was brightly lit.
When he entered the house, Calvin and Wynnie were sitting in the living room.
“Mom? Dad?” Samuel called out in puzzlement.
Wynnie rose to her feet. “Samuel...”
A thought came to Samuel's mind, and he quickly explained, “Mom, the children are with Kate. I hope you can be understanding and let her have her way.”
“Don't worry. We won’t stop her,” Wynnie assured, walking over to Samuel. “I just wanted to know when can we visit her. How is she doing?”
Samuel said grimly, “She needs to recuperate for now. Please help me explain this to Grandma. It's best to not bother Kate for the time being and let her get enough rest.”
“Okay. Don't worry.” Wynnie nodded. “Remember to pass Kate our regards.” Samuel gave her a complicated look. “Mom, you should prepare yourself mentally. Kate's lost her memory. And with everything she had experienced over the past few years, she's not the same person anymore.”
“Don't worry. We understand.” Wynnie smiled kindly. “We're just glad to hear that she's fine.”
Calvin got to his feet. “If there's nothing else, we'll get going then.”
Samuel nodded. “Goodbye.”
Calvin nodded and led Wynnie out of the mansion.
As soon as they got into the car, Wynnie broke into tears.
