All Too Late

After a while, Charles came in with the tincture and handed it to Kathleen. “Is it okay to not send him to the hospital?”

Kathleen took it from him. “Are you doubting my medical skills?”

Charles was embarrassed.

“You could bring him to a hospital, but they may not be able to treat him on time. They can’t think of possible diagnoses soon enough,” said Kathleen faintly.

Charles said nothing.

“Charles, help me,” said Kathleen brusquely. “Straighten his head, or I can’t feed him his medicine.”

Charles sighed, and he reluctantly helped Samuel up.

Kathleen placed the liquid near Samuel’s lips, coaxing him to drink.

However, Samuel did not respond.

“Just force it in,” said Charles heatedly.

Kathleen glared at him, then took a mouthful of medicine and kissed Samuel.

She did not falter or hesitate.

Charles was rendered speechless at this.

Did she just… offer herself up as a sacrifice or something?

After about three or four mouthfuls, Kathleen finished feeding Samuel the medicine.

She then took a towel and dabbed the corners of his mouth gently.

Kathleen glared at Charles. “Don’t you dare!”

Charles shrugged and grunted in response.

He was not about to say anything anyway.

Kathleen glanced at Samuel.

His face was not as pale as it had been at first.

She then decided to take his pulse again.

“How is he?” Charles was curious.
