All Too Late

Chapter 387 You Will Be Gone 

“Water,” Samuel croaked. Kathleen immediately poured some water into a glass and placed it in front of him. However, he still did not stretch out his hands.

Just like what he did earlier, he simply lowered his head and placed his lips at the edge of the cup. Seeing that, Kathleen raised the glass so he could drink the water. Samuel swallowed the pills and lay on the bed. Following that, Kathleen helped him to remove his shoes and tucked him into bed. In the meantime, he had been watching her with a warm smile on his handsome face. Though his hand hurt, seeing Kathleen taking care of him filled his heart with warmth. 

“Get some sleep,” Kathleen breathed.

“The pills have a sleep-inducing effect.Your hand won't hurt once you're asleep.” Samuel's thin lips moved slightly.

“But you'll be gone when I wake up, right?” The woman did not answer him.

“Go to sleep.” Samuel's throat tightened as sorrow grew in his heart. He knew Kathleen would not be moved by his actions. Even if he got injured because of her, her heart would not soften. However, he could not force her to feel the way he wanted her to. 

Feeling helpless, he shut his eyes. The effect of the medicine kicked in, and he soon fell asleep. Kathleen finally heaved a sigh of relief. She sat by the side of the bed and stared at the ceiling, letting out a deep sigh. This is quite a messy matter.

I don't want to owe him anything, nor do I want to develop feelings for him.Yet, he got injured because of me.

What should I do? Can someone please tell me? After pondering for some time, she got up and walked out ofSamuel's room. The housekeeper approached her, asking, “Ms.Johnson, do you need anything?” 

“That room I used to live in, is it still here?” asked Kathleen coolly. The housekeeper nodded firmly.

“Of course! Are you planning to stay here, Ms.Johnson?” 

“Yes.Samuel’s injured.He needs someone to take care of him.” Taken aback by her answer, the housekeeper explained, “You’re right.Mr.Macari never let any women serve him.Whenever he's injured, he'll get a man to take care of him.” Kathleen asked quietly, “Really?” 

“It’s true.” The housekeeper smiled politely.

“Well, there were female doctors who came to treat Ms.Desi, but none of them ever lived in the house.” Kathleen was the only exception. She was not particularly moved by the news; she was just surprised. Samuel did not know she was Kathleen at that time. Yet, he had an inexplicable preference for her. 

“Why don't you prepare the food a little earlier?” Kathleen asked indifferently.
