"Do you think I'll tell you if you question me with that tone?" Kathleen shot a poker-faced look at Yareli.
The latter was at a loss for words.
"Rory, send her back to her ward and lock her up," Kathleen said in annoyance. "Help give her a quick refresher since she doesn't know her place."
"Got it!" Rory replied before approaching to grab Yareli's arm.
"Let go of me!" Yareli struggled.
However, Rory did not loosen her grip one bit.
"You've gone too far, Kathleen!" Yareli hollered. "How dare you do this to me in front of Samuel?"
All that came from Kathleen was a snort.
"You don't have to show her mercy, Rory," Samuel chimed
in.
"Understood!" Rory nodded.
She got more dauntless after receiving Samuel's instructions.
Following that, Rory aggressively dragged Yareli to the latter's room and tied her to her bed.
"I hate you, Kathleen!" Yareli roared.
Kathleen stood in front of the door while looking at the tied-up Yareli. "Rory, give her a sleeping pill. She's too noisy."
"Okay." Rory nodded once more.
"Don't you dare! Kathleen!" Yareli's voice was deafening.
"Why wouldn't I dare?" Kathleen scoffed.
Then, she took a sleeping pill and forcefully shoved it down Yareli's throat.
"Mm-Mmph!" Yareli struggled with all her might but to no avail.
In a matter of minutes, she drifted off and succumbed to sleep.
After that, Kathleen instructed Rory, "Give her one sleeping pill everyday. Make sure she stays quiet until the day we ship her off."
"Got it." Rory nodded.
Kathleen then turned on her heel and returned to the living room.
Only Charles and Clarissa was there.
"Where's Samuel?" Kathleen was puzzled as he was there just a moment ago.
That was when Charles pointed at the second floor, hinting that Samuel had gone upstairs.
Kathleen frowned.
"So, you've decided-” Charles looked at Kathleen and was hesitant to speak.
Pursing her lips, Kathleen eventually answered, "Charles, I think I do like him."
"I knew it." Charles sighed.
"I'm not going to see you off, Charles. Goodbye." With that, Kathleen walked up the stairs.
A hint of bitterness caused Charles' handsome face to contort.
Clarissa asked curiously, "What's wrong, Charles?"
"I'm just thinking that maybe there's no need for memories of love," Charles said flatly.
"That's not necessarily true," Clarissa muttered. "Kate is behaving the way she is now because she fell for Samuel after she lost her memories. But there's no guarantee she'll still be in love with him after she regains her memories."
Charles fixed his gaze on her. "You don't know how special Samuel is to her. Especially after she heard how Vanessa said she would have died if not for Samuel and the Macari family's protection."
"But will Samuel accept a love that's heavily laced with gratitude?" Clarissa was curious.
"Of course, he will," Charles replied. "That's what he wants. To be linked to Kate in all ways so that she can't leave him."
Clarissa stuck her tongue out after she heard that. "What a strange man."
"He's very capricious too," Charles added. "All right, let's go."
"Okay." Clarissa nodded. Then, she followed Charles as they departed Florinia Manor.
Later, Kathleen went to the bedroom, but Samuel wasn't there either.
He just woke up. Why isn't he resting? Where on earth did he go?
She then stepped out of the bedroom and went to the study.
The door was left slightly ajar, revealing that the lights were switched on inside the study.
So, Kathleen pushed the door open and entered.
Inside, Samuel was sitting on a chair. His handsome face looked slightly pale and tensed.
"Is your wound hurting?" Kathleen asked in concern.
Samuel nodded.
"I'll go get your medicine. Let's dress your wound again," Kathleen said.
With that, she got ready to leave.
