All Too Late

Chapter 302 Not Long To Live

Hack! Hack! Samuel suddenly burst into a coughing fit.

He covered his mouth with a handkerchief but soon noticed some bloodstains.

Wanting to steady his emotions, he leaned against the seat, taking deep breaths.

That was when his phone rang.

“Hello?” Samuel asked in his hoarse voice.

“It’s me, Mr. Macari. Have you received the item I sent you?” an elderly man’s voice rang out from the other end.

“I did. How did you secure it?”

“Haha, don’t you worry about that, Mr. Macari. I swear on my life that I gave you genuine goods. Now, about the item I requested…”

“I’ll give it to you after the wedding.” Samuel’s palm rested on his chest as he added, “You can come over now.”

“I’ve already prepared everything.” Skin-crawling chuckles came from the person as he reminded, “Mr. Macari, a word of caution. You won’t have long to live after extracting the male lovebug from your body.”

“How many years will I have left?” Samuel questioned frostily.

“Three years.”

Three years? The words echoed in Samuel’s mind, but he kept an unbothered expression. “That’s more than enough. Remember, you’re not to tell a single soul.”

“Don’t worry. I won’t since I don’t want to invite any trouble for myself.” The old man chuckled before saying, “See you in three days.”

After that, Samuel hung up and exerted an iron grip on the steering wheel before him.

I guess I only have three more years left…

He glowered grimly at the Lewis residence as countless thoughts swirled in his mind.

Three years. What’s the point of living through these last years of my life if I can’t even be with her? If I have to keep my distance and watch her from afar… I’d rather die.

Meanwhile, in the Lewis residence, Kathleen glanced impassively at a man whose face was purple from being beaten up.

“Did Lauren Xenos send you here?” Kathleen interrogated sternly.

The man froze for a bit but soon uttered, “Yes.”

Not a tinge of emotion showed on Kathleen’s face as she continued, “Lauren’s a member of Blissful Sect, isn’t she?”

The man nodded even harder.

Kathleen scoffed coldly. She sarcastically pointed out, “Two questions was all it took to see through you, huh?”
