All Too Late

Samuel hummed in response. His handsome face was very pale.

“It seems that someone mixed poison into your infusion.” Kathleen furrowed her brows and continued, “I think you should ask Tyson to take a look. Don’t just—”

Samuel suddenly felt dizzy and collapsed in Kathleen’s direction.

Kathleen held him, only to realize that his body was feverish to the touch.

“Wakeup!” Kathleensaidurgently,“Samuel!”

Samuel put up a strong front and replied, “Tyson is out running errands for me. I came alone.”

Kathleen pursed her lips.

“Just leave me here. As long as no one sees me being so weak, it’ll be fine,” said Samuel in a hoarse voice.

“Leave you here?” Kathleen sounded incredulous. “Then what they will find tomorrow is your corpse, bleeding out from seven different orifices.”

Samuel said nothing in response.

In his mind, he noted that Kathleen’s body was quite soft. Leaning against her was comforting.

If I just close my eyes, it’ll be fine. At least I’d die in her embrace.

Kathleen really couldn’t support Samuel, who was about a hundred and eighty-eight centimeters tall.

She dragged Samuel out and lowered him onto a couch.

However, she soon noticed that she did not have a phone on her.

Kathleen walked over to Samuel and felt about his pockets. Fortunately, he still had his.

“Don’t call my father. He’d panic and turn the world upside down,” Samuel slurred as he drifted in and out of consciousness.

Kathleen knew what he was worried about.

After all, which parents do not worry about their children?

Letting Calvin know would plunge the Macari family into chaos, and the news would only spread even faster.

Kathleen nodded in agreement.

As she mulled over whom to contact, she realized that she only memorized one person’s phone number and promptly dialed it.

“Samuel, what is the meaning of this?” Charles said in a low voice. “Why are you calling me?”

“Sam, it’s me.” Kathleen was unable to explain the situation.

Charles frowned. “Kate!”
