All Too Late

Chapter 407 Tentative 

Still, there was reaction from Samuel. Kathleen sighed and poked his face with her finger. 

“You’ve fallen into a coma because you thought I was dead, right? But now, I'm right in front of you.Why won't you open your eyes and look at me?” He's such a headache! She lost her patience soon.

“I'm ignoring you! I have a lot of things to do, and I don’t have time to keep you company.If you don't wake up soon, I'll leave you here, and you’ll be all alone!” After a few moments, she still received no response. 

“Samuel, please wake up.Let's fall into a deep slumber together after we die, but not now.You have to wake up, okay?” Kathleen took his hand and pressed it against her face, her voice hoarse.

” What should I do if you stay in a coma forever? Samuel remained motionless.The only noise that echoed in the room was his breathing. She blinked her moist eyes and fumed, “D*mn you,Samuel.I'm going to leave you here!”

 Upon finishing her sentence, she turned to leave and went to her bedroom. Her things had just been moved into the room. She took two of her medical books before going to look for Zion, who had just returned from his walk around the manor. 

“Kathleen, this manor is huge.I've been walking forever, yet I haven't even toured half of it.” He wiped the sweat on his forehead.

 “You should take care of your health.Don't think you're fine now and tire yourself out.” Kathleen handed him the medical books and continued, “Read these two books and memorize the contents.I'll give you a spot test a few days later.If you fail to memorize the points, I won't accept you as my apprentice.” 

Zion held the books in his arms like they were the most precious treasure in the world.

“Don’t worry.I have a sharp memory.Just give me a week, and I'll memorize everything like the back of my hand.” Kathleen chuckled.

“Stop bluffing.A week? These two books may not look thick, but I bet you’d at least need a month.” 

“I’ll prove it to you then!” Zion was determined.

 “Fine,” she replied indifferently.

 “Where are you going?” he asked curiously.

 “I'm going to check on Yareli.” 

“I'll go with you!” He caught up with her.
