All Too Late novel Chapter 198

Chapter 198 You Are Tormenting Yourself

“Samuel, you…” Kathleen hadn’t even realized that her voice was shaky.

The man’s big hands clutched tight to the handkerchief and said, “It’s nothing.”

Kathleen bit her lip and asked, “Why didn’t you just stay in the hospital?”

“Does it have anything to do with you?” Samuel asked as he threw a frigid look at the woman, stumping her.

“Haven’t you chosen to be together with Caleb?” Samuel mocked. “He’s better than me anyway. I mean, you’re his first love. Since you guys were practically intertwined with each other, I reckon that you’ve already kissed him at this point. So, why do you care so much about me?”

“You!” Kathleen was so furious that her hand shook violently.

His eyes darkened as he peered at the woman’s porcelain fair skin. “I didn’t mess with you.”

I did try to steer clear of you.

Kathleen slowly loosened her grip.

“I shouldn’t have come to find you.” Kathleen let go of her handkerchief and got out of the car.

Samuel’s eyes turned red as he looked at her silhouette, tears brimming in his eyes.

“Let’s go,” he said in a hoarse voice.

Tyson felt terrible.

He closed the car door and chauffeured Samuel away.

Kathleen went back to the mansion and curled up on the couch.

Charles came down from the second floor and said, “I saw Samuel moving out. That’s great.”

Charles was taken aback after noticing his sister’s devastating looks and tear-stricken eyes.

“My dear, what’s the matter?” Charles went over and asked in a concerned tone.

“Charles, Samuel’s condition is worsening,” she said in a shaky voice.

Charles patted her head and said, “You guys are already divorced. Why do you still care about him?”

“Yes, we’re divorced. But why do I still feel such a strong urge to cry?” Kathleen muttered.

Charles was stumped.

“Shouldn’t I be loathing that man and be happy about his condition instead?” Kathleen sniffled. “Why do I feel so miserable about this?”

Charles circled his sister in his embrace to coax her gently. “Because you’re a kind lady, Katie. No matter how much Samuel hurts you, you would still care about him. This just means that you’re a kind person. It doesn’t have to do with anything else.”

“Will he… die?” Kathleen sobbed.

“I’m not a doctor. So, I can’t answer that question. But, the Macari family is loaded. They can afford to hire the best doctors money can get. He’s not really that sick anyway. It’s going to be all right,” Charles said in an attempt to soothe her.

“No, that’s not it.” Kathleen’s eyes were red. “He’s severely injured from his previous attempts of hurting himself. I realized that when I checked his pulse last time. Normal doctors won’t be able to treat him. He needs a combination of different treatments, but he…”

“Katie!” Charles pressed his hands down on her shoulders and said in a clipped tone, “Don’t overthink this. The fact that he can be discharged from the hospital means that his condition isn’t that serious. Don’t worry about him too much. He’s young, powerful, handsome, and rich. There’s no way he’s going to give up such a perfect life. I bet that he hasn’t had enough fun in his life yet. This could be a ploy to fish for your sympathy. Do you understand?”

Kathleen stared at Charles blankly. “A ploy to fish for my sympathy?”

“Yes. So, please don’t think about him anymore,” Charles said as he leveled a stare at his sister.

Kathleen sniffled.

“You’re on leave today. Just take a good rest at home. I’m heading to the office,” he said grimly.

“Okay.” Kathleen nodded.

Charles got up and headed toward the door.

He paused in his tracks and turned around before saying to Maria, “Take good care of Ms. Johnson.”

“Yes, sir.”

Charles then turned around to leave.

Kathleen went back to her room.
