All Too Late

Chapter 4 Family Specialty

Samuel nodded.

This is unbelievable. Seriously, what a f*cking cruel twist of fate! Kathleen, who played the part of a gentle princess most of the time, cursed internally. Is God playing tricks on me?

“I’m not going to donate to her.” Kathleen bit her lip. “I will never donate my bone marrow to a woman who destroyed my family and stole my husband away.”

Truth was, those actually didn’t matter that much.

What mattered was that she was pregnant with a child, so she couldn’t donate her bone marrow.

However, she couldn’t tell Samuel about that.

If he found out, he would force her to get rid of the baby.

“I’ll do anything you want as long as you agree to be her donor,” Samuel offered generously.

“Even if it means not getting a divorce?” Kathleen muttered with her head lowered.

She didn’t want him to notice the sorrow in her gaze.

Samuel fell silent.

Looks like he can’t let Nicolette go. Even if he agrees to my request, that’s only because he wants to save Nicolette’s life. He’s willing to sacrifice his marriage and happiness for her. What an admirable show of love.

“You shouldn’t get too greedy, Kathleen,” Samuel said. “Even if I did it to save Nicolette’s life, you should know that I don’t love you.”

Kathleen’s face paled.

Those words were like a dagger stabbing through her heart.

It was as if fresh blood was pooling out, and it hurt like never before.

“And what if I insist on keeping this dead love alive?” Kathleen slowly lifted her gaze and revealed her sparkling eyes.

“You won’t get anything from it, then. It doesn’t matter what aspect you’re talking about.”

“It’s the first time I’ve found you so disgusting, Samuel.” Kathleen put down the spoon in her hand. “You said I’m greedy, but aren’t you the same? You want to divorce me so that you can be with Nicolette. Fine, I agreed to that. But don’t you think you’re being too brutal to ask me to save her life now?”

Does he even know how much I love him? How can he be so cruel to torture me like this?
