All Too Late

Chapter 267 Alone In His Room

Kathleen nodded.

Charles pointed at the study and said, “I’ve been holding Caleb back, and the housekeepers are also watching him below the windows. Please try to persuade him.”

Hearing that, Kathleen frowned, her brows drawing together. “What is he planning to do?”

“He wants to kill Finn,” Charles answered while casting a grave look at her.

Kathleen nodded understandingly. “I would want the same if I were in Caleb’s shoe.”

Her frank reply caused Charles to frown even more.

Ignoring that, Kathleen turned and entered the study.

“Get out!” thundered Caleb, whose back was facing Kathleen.

“It’s me,” the latter stated calmly.

Caleb stiffened before turning around, his eyes red with tears as he spoke. “You’re here.”

Kathleen approached him with the utmost concern laced in her tone. “Are you all right?”

In response, Caleb cast a glum look while placing both her hands on his face. His voice was hoarse as he replied, “I never thought she would hang herself…”

Kathleen felt her heart sink.

Tears fell from her eyes as she admitted, “I know. It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have let her see Finn…”

In truth, she blamed herself for Vivian’s death.

Kathleen would rather have Vivian live on with her mental condition than be dead.

However, it was too late now; Vivian had chosen to depart the world permanently after discovering the truth.

Caleb started crying. His voice was choked-up as he uttered, “I-I’ve lost my sister, Kate…”

Kathleen had no idea how to comfort him at that moment.

All she could do was walk over and wrap her arms around him, offering a warm embrace.

He, too, hugged her tightly while resting his head on her shoulder.

They remained that way for a few minutes, holding onto each other for any sense of comfort they could get.

Eventually, Kathleen patted his back and said, “Caleb, you need to be strong. There are still things you need to deal with for Vivian’s funeral, and you have to inform your parents that are overseas about this.”

“But I don’t feel like doing it…” A moment passed before Caleb asked hoarsely, “Will you help me?”

“If you need it, I’ll gladly help you out. That’s what friends are for.”

“Thank you.”
