All Too Late

Chapter 238 Play Pretend

Kathleen was very cautious in applying medication to the wound on Charles’ shoulder.

His injury wasn’t that serious, but Vivian’s teeth had broken the skin, causing the wound to bleed.

“This will definitely leave a scar on you,” said Kathleen flatly.

Charles was unfazed, though, responding, “It’s fine. It couldn’t be more normal for a man to have one or two scars.”

In a placid tone, Kathleen replied, “It’s fine for you but not your future wife. Would she be comfortable seeing another woman’s teeth mark on your body? Don’t always assume that women should accept you unconditionally. What if the woman of your life had a tattoo of another man’s name on her body? Would you be pleased, then?”

Charles kept his mouth shut.

Noticing his dejected visage, Kathleen let out a snort. “It’s okay! I’m here to help you.”

Charles turned to look her in the eye. Was she teasing me intentionally?

“So, Charles, could you get Caleb to come here with you tomorrow? I have something to tell you guys.” Kathleen was done treating Charles’ wound, so she began tidying up the medical kit.

“Can’t you just tell me now?” queried Charles ever so casually.

Kathleen shook her head.

Helpless, Charles went on, “You’re so secretive even though I’m your brother.”

By then, Kathleen had already kept the medical kit away as she walked up to Charles, asking, “Have you visited Granny yet?”

“Yup.” Charles nodded as he spoke. “She still recognized me.”

“That’s good, then.” Wearing a calm mien, Kathleen dropped a suggestion. “Granny will be discharged from the hospital in a few days, but she can’t stay with the Yoegers anymore. I think you ought to hire someone to clean up the house and let her move in.”

“That I know.” Charles paused for a bit to ponder before saying, “I’m thinking of getting a bigger house, though. The current one is kind of small.”

Kathleen remained silent for a brief moment. She then questioned, “Charles, do you think Granny might be willing to follow us abroad?”

Knitting his brows, Charles answered her with another question, “You’ve thought of leaving this place?”

“Wasn’t our initial plan for coming back here just to investigate Mom’s background?” Kathleen explained, “Now that we’ve figured out her identity, the only matter we have left to deal with is Vanessa and the others.”
