All Too Late

Kathleen nodded. “Sam.”

Samuel held her hand. “I won’t pester you anymore in the future, nor will I constantly appear before you. I won’t immediately return home once you go to the Macari residence and do anything you dislike either.”

Her heart ached when she heard his remarks.

“But if you need my help, you can look for me at any time. I won’t just stand by and do nothing.” He continued to remind her, “The Yoeger family is complicated. It’s not surprising if your brother can’t understand it. Thus, you have to remember to look for me if you need anything. Don’t go to the others. They don’t know as much as I do.”

“Mm. I got it.” She gave a slight nod.

“Vanessa took Nicolette back not because she wanted to make up to the latter.” He furrowed his brows. “Zachary needs a kidney transplant, so Nicolette is merely the kidney source they’re looking for. But in order to make her donate her kidney willingly, the Yoegers have promised to fulfill some of her terms. You need to be wary. I will keep my eyes on them as well so that you won’t be in danger. However, at the same time, you need to be mindful.”

“All right.” She continued to nod.

“Felix is an extremely dangerous man. He might seem to be retiring from the family business, but his words are still absolute in Morris Group.” Samuel remained indifferent. “Had it not been for the Macaris’ presence all these years, Felix would have thrown my Aunt Emily out of the house long ago. It’s unlikely that her husband and Christopher can protect her. Therefore, Christopher may not be able to protect you as well. You have to be cautious.”

Sullenly, she stated, “It’s genuinely impossible between Chris and me.”

“That’s… great.” After a short pause, the man said, “All right. That’s all that I want to remind you. Do you have anything to say to me?”

“I’m immensely worried about your health. Hence, I will continue to provide you with consistent treatment in the future. You can’t refuse it.” She knitted her brows. “If not, I would’ve asked for the medicine from Caleb in vain, not to mention the annoying weird scandals that arose from that.”

Samuel was stunned. “Did you go there specifically to get medicine for me?”

“What else?” Her frown deepened. “Do you think I need it?”

He felt a warmth in his chest. “Thank you. I promise you.”

The woman let out a sigh. “At first, I had so many things to tell you. But when I stand in front of you, it seems like everything is redundant.”

“Then, I’ll wait until you wish to speak about it,” Samuel replied in a deep voice.

After musing on it, Kathleen asked, “Can I ask you a question?”

With a nod, he responded, “Mm. Go ahead.”
