Fell in Love With You in the Wrong Time novel Chapter 434

Kathleen drove Gemma's car and brought her home.

Gemma had moved in with Richard after they got together.

Yet, she did not want to go back there at the moment.

If she went to Benjamin's place, it would be troublesome for her to explain the situation to him.

Therefore, Kathleen took her to the Johnson residence, which the former previously bought.

It had everything, so it would be convenient forthem to stay there.

Kathleen led Gemma to the bedroom and asked the latter to lie on the bed.

"I'll get you a glass of water," Kathleen said.

Gemma grabbed her hand, stopping Kathleen from leaving the room. "I'm not thirsty, Kate."

Since Gemma had calmed down, she felt like talking to Kathleen. "Talk with me," Gemma continued.

"Okay." Kathleen sat down.

Gemma slowly let go of Kathleen's hand and stared at the ceiling. "That woman's name is Miley Chapman. She's the daughter of Richard's professor, who died during an international aid. That professor saved Richard when he died, so Richard has been responsible for taking care of Miley since then."

Kathleen asked coldly, "Did you not know about that all these years?"

"No, I didn't know. He hid it perfectly. Besides, Miley had always been abroad and never come back."

Kathleen nodded, encouraging Gemma to go on.

"We drank too much yesterday, so I told Richard that I wanted to break up if he didn't want to get married." Gemma pursed her lips. "Kate, I don't want an intense, dramatic relationship. I just want it to be simple and last long. I want to get married, have kids, and live a peaceful life."

Kathleen held Gemma's hand. "Gem, I know. This is understandable. Everyone makes their own choices. You want to get married, but he doesn't want to. You can break up with him and find another man."

"Yes. That's what I thought too." Tears rolled down Gemma's cheeks. "But Richard said that he wanted to marry me and that he loved me very much. It's just that he wants to wait another year. I love him so much that I agreed to his request."

Kathleen did not criticize Gemma because that was how people were when they were in love.

Everyone, including Kathleen, used to be a fool when they were in love.

Gemma took a deep breath and continued. "Richard gave me a ring, saying that it was a marriage proposal. He promised to marry me after a year. He even brought me to see our new house and gave me the key and a bank card so that I could decorate the house. Kate, I was really happy at the time."

Kathleen replied solemnly, "Okay."

"But..." Gemma burst into tears. "The woman named Miley appeared. She came back from abroad and found me. I was in the hospital ward then. She said that Richard loved her and that he went to see her when he went abroad all these years. She even said that she used to have his kid. I didn't believe her. Richard showed up afterward and told her that the one he loved was me, not her. In the end, she turned and jumped out of the window. I tried to grab her but couldn't get her in time."

Kathleen felt angry yet helpless upon hearing her words.

Gemma cried sorrowfully as she went on, "Regardless of whether Miley will survive the fall or not, I know that I can't be with Richard anymore."

Kathleen lightly patted her on the shoulder. "Gem, get some sleep. You should think about this again when you calm down."

"Okay." Gemma closed her eyes.

She had a hard time trying to calm down, so it was difficult for her to fall asleep.

Opening a drawer, Kathleen took out an incense stick and lit it.

The incense stick released calming scents.

Upon smelling the scent from the burning incense stick, Gemma became emotionally stable and soon fell asleep.

Kathleen breathed a sigh of relief.

Meanwhile, Miley's surgery at the hospital was over.

The doctor said that she was safe, and fortunately, her head was not seriously injured.

The only thing to worry about was her legs, for she might never be able to stand up again.

Richard swallowed hard.

If Miley did go lame, he would have to take care of her for the rest of her life, which meant that he could never be with Gemma anymore.

Samuel looked at Richard coldly. "I can help you if you don't have the heart to do it.”

"How?" Richard frowned.

"Send her to a place you don't know about," replied Samuel.
