Chapter 183 Senile Fool
“Are you okay?”
Everybody flocked over to check on her.
Kathleen held Valerie’s hand with a grim expression on her face. “I hurt my waist.”
Valerie was stunned. “I’ll send you to the hospital!”
“I can’t move.” Kathleen’s face was as pale as a sheet. “Call an ambulance.”
“All right!” Valerie called an ambulance right away.
Everybody knew that Kathleen was gravely injured.
Soon, the ambulance arrived, and Kathleen was rushed to the hospital.
The doctor checked on her before sending her into a ward.
She lay motionless on bed until Charles came to visit her.
“I already sent someone to investigate this.” Charles wore a frown on his face.
“So you agree that something is fishy, right?” Kathleen felt dejected.
“Isn’t this obvious?” Charles arched his brow. “Someone must have done it on purpose. Other than the Yoeger family, I couldn’t think of anybody else as the suspect.”
“If this is really their doing, they sure are bold.” Kathleen frowned.
He stared at her with an unreadable expression on his face. “So it seems you have yet to hear of it.”
“What did I miss out on?” Kathleen was at a loss.
“The police had detained Nicolette at the same time when you were being rushed to the hospital,” replied Charles.
Kathleen was taken aback. “Was it Samuel’s doing?”
“No. I think it’s Caleb,” said Charles placidly.
Kathleen didn’t know what to say to that.
“News is spreading like wildfire in Jadeborough. Everybody’s claiming that you and Caleb share some sort of relationship. Everyone in Jadeborough is now aware of this even though it’s only been an hour. Could he be trying to court you by making such a move?” Charles was in deep contemplation.
Kathleen shook her head, for she also did not know the answer.
“I don’t think it’s possible. He doesn’t seem to harbor feelings for me.” She furrowed her brows.
“That’s not necessarily true,” Charles analyzed the situation in all seriousness. “There are some people who don’t wear their heart on their sleeve. Of course, there are also people like Samuel, who are just playing innocent. He might claim to see you as his sister when he doesn’t think that at all.”
“Charles, we’re talking about Caleb here. Why do you need to mention Samuel?” Kathleen was speechless.
“Well, I’ll be happy for you no matter who you marry in the future, with Samuel being the exception.” Charles couldn’t bring himself to like Samuel.
Kathleen heaved a sigh, no longer feeling like speaking.
“Okay, okay. We won’t talk about Samuel any longer.” Charles made a compromise. “Will you accept Caleb if he actually comes after you?”
“It depends,” answered Kathleen languidly.
Charles frowned. “Do you like him?”
She shook her head.
“So why are you even considering him?” Charles couldn’t understand.
“As I said, it depends,” replied Kathleen nonchalantly. “Wouldn’t I be embarrassing myself if I make a stand now but change my mind in the future?”
“Haha.” Charles smirked. “Instead of doing that for Caleb’s sake, I think you would more likely do that just to spite Samuel.”
Kathleen was speechless.
“All right, I won’t mess with you any longer. Get some rest.” Charles tucked her in. “I will request the film crew to conduct an investigation while you get some rest.”
Shutting her eyes to nap, Kathleen nodded as Charles stood to leave.
