All Too Late

Chapter 223

“Don’t worry about the medication,” Kathleen said.

“Do you think I’m worried about that?” countered Samuel coolly.

Kathleen looked as if she didn’t quite understand what he was talking about.

“I just don’t want you to sacrifice anything for the sake of obtaining the medication.” Samuel’s lips were set in a hard line.

Surprised, she replied, “Didn’t you understand what I said earlier? I already stated that I don’t intend to sacrifice myself for the medication.”

Does he think I’m stupid?

“Kate, I know you don’t love me anymore, but you did say that you understand me. Likewise, do you think I don’t understand you as well?” said Samuel coldly as he looked at her.

Kathleen pursed her lips as she took in his words.

He continued in his low rasp, “You’re simply too kind. You may not do it for me, but I’m sure the depths of your kindness wouldn’t allow you to leave things as they are. That’s especially because you’ve already started handling the matter. I know that once you’ve started something, you’ll see it through to the end. That’s just how much of a sense of responsibility you have.”

Kathleen didn’t reply. Instead, she was overwhelmed with surprise at how well Samuel understood her. She now realized that although he might not understand some of her day-to-day habits, he had fully grasped her character and personality.

On the flip side, she wasn’t too familiar with Samuel.

At that, she stated flatly, “Trust me, Samuel. I won’t be that stupid.”

His dark eyes stared intently into hers, but he didn’t move a single muscle, not even to reply.

Finally, Kathleen broke the silence and said, “It’s almost time. Both of us have been in the bathroom for some time now. It’s easy for others to misunderstand us.”

“I’m not afraid,” remarked Samuel nonchalantly.

“Well, I am!” exclaimed Kathleen with derision. “I’m a full-fledged divorcee now. I don’t want to be associated with and be tangled up in my ex-husband’s affairs any longer.”

Samuel was utterly speechless. He silently followed behind her as she exited the bathroom.

Kathleen checked in with Maria and learned that Diana had already gone to sleep.

Maria said, “Old Mrs. Macari has been going to bed earlier these days.”

Kathleen understood instantly and said, “I just checked on Old Mrs. Macari’s condition. She doesn’t have any issues, but you do have to make sure to pay special attention to her.”
