All Too Late

Chapter 436

Kathleen turned on the light and scanned the room but could not find Gemma.

The former was stunned for a moment before making her way to the bathroom.

Only then did she find Gemma sitting in the bathtub filled with cold water.

“Gem, you’ll get sick.” Walking over, Kathleen squatted down next to Gemma. “Come out first.”

She reached out to touch Gemma, whose skin was icy cold and wet.

“Gem, you can’t be like this because of a man.” Kathleen cupped Gemma’s face with her hands. “It’s really not worth it. It’s his business that he wants to repay his mentor. You don’t have to punish yourself like this.”

Gemma remained sitting quietly with her knees to her chest inside the bathtub.

Kathleen drained the cold water from the bathtub and wrapped Gemma in a bath towel.

“Can you not be like this, Gem?” Tears welled up in Kathleen’s eyes.

Saying nothing, Gemma sat quietly in the bathtub. Kathleen could not do anything about it.

The doorbell rang all of a sudden.

Kathleen knitted her brows.

If it were Samuel, he would have entered the house instead of ringing ÑÖvelËbook the doorbell. Who will it be?

“Gem, I’ll go have a look.” Kathleen ran some warm water in the bathtub and added, “While you warm up your body first.”

Gemma said nothing.

Kathleen then got up and went downstairs to get the door.

Richard was seen standing at the door.

Still wearing his outfit from the day before, Richard looked worried. “Is Gem—”

Kathleen cut him off coldly, “She’s not okay.”

“I…” Richard faltered.
