Chapter 14 Is He That Important To You
“Kathleen?” Samuel frowned.
Why is she covered in blood?
“Are you hurt?” Samuel walked to her, stretching his hands to touch her.
“Get lost!” Kathleen shoved his hands away. “Don’t use the same pair of hands that touched your mistress on me!”
Samuel’s face was a mix of dark emotions. “What do you want, Kathleen?”
Nicolette’s face turned pale. “Kathleen, I know you’re unwilling to divorce Samuel. But he has already promised to compensate you. You shouldn’t be too greedy.”
Kathleen walked over and picked up a fruit knife.
“Kathleen! What are you trying to do?” Samuel walked over.
“Stop there!” Kathleen clenched her jaws and lifted the knife in front of her. “Samuel, stay where you are!”
Samuel paused in his actions, and his face darkened. “Put the knife down!”
“You’re in no capacity to order me around!” Kathleen’s eyes reddened. “You have no idea what I went through!”
Samuel frowned again.
“Benjamin is severely injured for saving me and is lying unconscious in the hospital ward.” Kathleen’s lips trembled. “The person who wanted to hurt me is sent by either you or her. But I’ve already agreed to the divorce, Samuel. Since it can’t be you, it can only be her.”
“Nonsense!” Nicolette’s face was pale white. “Why would I do that?”
“You know it deep down in your heart. Samuel would be widowed once I’m dead, and you can marry him officially.” Kathleen gritted her teeth.
“You don’t have any evidence! Moreover, how could you think that it’s me? It might be your enemies!” Nicolette retorted.
“Haha!” Kathleen sneered, and her eyes turned cold. “Nicolette, I’ve been living in the shelter Samuel built for me since I graduated from university. I have no contact with anyone else. Other than his grandma and mother, I’m all alone. How can I possibly have enemies?”
Nicolette pouted her lips. So Samuel has been so protective of her?
“Even if we assume it’s Samuel’s enemies, not many know that Samuel and I are married. On the other hand, he has been visiting you openly at the hospital recently. If his enemies wanted to take revenge, they should be looking for you, not me.” Kathleen’s eyes remained indifferent. “Nicolette, in this whole world, only you would hate me to this extent and want me dead!”
“N-No, it’s not me!” Nicolette was frightened out of her wits, and her face was bloodless. “Samuel, save me!”
Samuel focused his gaze on Kathleen. “Put the knife down.”
“Samuel, let’s get divorced.” Kathleen looked at him sorrowfully. “I’ll grant both of you your wishes.”
She lowered her hand gradually and threw away the fruit knife in her hand, walking out of the room.
Samuel’s eyes were full of worry while looking at her.
She mentioned that Benjamin got hurt for saving her. The blood all over her must be Benjamin’s. If it’s hers, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Samuel ran after her. “Kathleen!”
He stretched his hand to grab Kathleen’s wrist.
However, he did not expect Kathleen to faint the moment he touched her.
“Kathleen!” Samuel immediately carried her in his arms and dashed into the doctor’s office.
By the time Kathleen woke up, it was nightfall.
“You’re awake.” Samuel’s voice was deep and cold. “How are you feeling?”
“I’m fine.” Kathleen held onto the blanket.
“The doctor said that you fainted as you were too agitated, and your emotions fluctuated too much. You’ll be fine after resting a night.” Samuel’s voice sounded detached.
