All Too Late

Chapter 168

Samuel regarded Kathleen thoughtfully.

Her prickly exterior truly concealed a heart of gold.

She may admonish him, but she still ensured that he took his medication correctly.

“How confident are you in your medical skills?” Samuel’s tone turned serious.

“I don’t mean to brag, but I’m actually pretty good. My treatment methods are renown worldwide, just search it up and you might learn a thing or two about me.”

“Do you have anything to increase longevity? I’m hoping to at least be around long enough to care for my parents in their old age.”

“Cut to the chase, Samuel. I haven’t got all day.”

“I want you to treat me,” Samuel muttered lowly.

Kathleen felt as if she’d been drenched by an ice-cold bucket of water.

“State your price. All I want is to live as long as you do,” said Samuel.

Kathleen was speechless.

“Please?” Samuel pleaded.

“But you’d have to listen to my instructions without complaint. Otherwise, neither the most comfortable hospital room nor the best medication would do you any good,” Kathleen warned grimly.

Samuel could barely believe his luck. “So I’ll take this as a yes?”

“I’d be a fool to refuse such an offer. This is money we’re talking about here.”

“I guess I’ll be under your care then,” Samuel commented cheekily.

Kathleen instantly switched into her professional role. “Would you mind telling me why your body weakened so drastically?”

“You’ll hear all about it once I’m back from my trip.”

What’s with all this dodgy mysteriousness?

“We’re here,” Samuel announced promptly.

Kathleen passed the medicinal herbs to Samuel. “I can’t emphasize this enough, but please remember to take them regularly.”

“I’ll do it right now.”

Samuel tore open the package and drank it in a single gulp.
