All Too Late

Kathleen was drawing at home when she received yet another friend request notification from that unknown number again on her phone.

Whoever it was had also sent a video to her.

It was a video showing Samuel going to the Yoeger residence with Nicolette.

Nicolette was dolled up in the video as she held Samuel’s arm, smiling broadly and smugly.

As Samuel was there to back her, no one from the Yoeger family dared to chase her out.

After Frances cut the cake, Samuel was seen feeding Nicolette the dessert.

The pair looked extremely sweet and very in love.

Kathleen’s heart ached at the sight.

Indeed, the most perfect way to take someone’s life was by breaking their heart.

Samuel had refused to allow her to go along, so Nicolette provoked her with the video.

What a shameless couple!

Kathleen’s face was pale as she wondered when her heart would stop hurting.

Will it stop hurting when I don’t love anymore? Is it hurting so much because I still love Samuel?

It was impossible to stop loving the man she had given her entire heart and soul to for the past decade.

At that moment, her phone rang.

Kathleen took a glance and saw that it was Quinn.

“Ms. Williams?” Kathleen was surprised.

“Come over for a checkup.” Quinn cut straight to the point.

Kathleen paused before answering, “Ms. Williams, I—”

“I don’t care what your plans are. It is my duty as a doctor to ensure that the mother and child are safe as long as you’re pregnant with the baby. Come quickly.” Quinn added, “I’ll cover for you.”

“Okay.” Kathleen dared not refuse.

After tidying up, she left for the hospital.

Quinn had made arrangements so that no one would know that Kathleen came for maternity checkups.
