Chapter 348 Who Is He
Kathleen nodded and gave a brief response. With a gentle tone, Caleb asked, “So, can I take care of you in the future?”
Kathleen did not understand his intention earlier. It was at that moment when she finally got it. Frowning, she apologized, “I’m sorry, Mr. Lewis. I’ve lost my memory, so I can’t accept your offer. My wound will be healed soon once I have the medicine. I don’t need anyone to take care of me.” Caleb was at a loss for words. The Kathleen in front of him looked like the Kathleen he knew, yet they were different.
At that moment, Samuel returned, bringing Desi along with him. Caleb snorted. What a cunning man! He failed to win Kathleen’s heart, so he’s using familial ties now.
“Mommy!” Desi ran to the bed with some flowers in her hands. It was obvious that they were freshly plucked.
“Mommy, these are for you.” Desi grinned, exposing her little canine teeth. A smile appeared on Kathleen’s lips.
“Thank you. But how did you get these flowers on the ship?”
“The cruise is stopped by an island now. She went down to pick them just now,” Samuel explained. Kathleen nodded.
“Mommy, does your wound still hurt?” Desi asked worriedly.
“It doesn’t hurt anymore. Thank you.” Kathleen caressed Desi’s hand.
“Get well soon, okay? I still want to go to the amusement park with you. Eil, too! I just called him to tell him I’ve found you, and he’s really happy about it.” Desi sounded very excited. Kathleen put on a warm smile.
“All right. I’ll bring both of you to the amusement park when I’m well.” Desi beamed.
“Okay! Rest well, Mommy. I’ll go out to play now.”
“Sure. Go ahead,” Kathleen responded gently. Desi handed the flowers to Samuel and reminded him, “Daddy, don’t forget to place these in a vase. I plucked these for Mommy.”
“Of course. I won’t forget.” Samuel took the flowers from the little girl, who skipped out of the room after.
“You sly fox,” Caleb mocked Samuel coldly. Unfazed, the latter bent over and looked at Kathleen.
“Go back to sleep. I’ll bring you the medicine once it’s ready.” Kathleen nodded. She was truly exhausted; she did not want to think too much about anything. Caleb understood her condition. Hence, he had no choice but to follow Samuel out of the room. Upon stepping outside, he snorted at Samuel and strode off. Meanwhile, Samuel lowered his gaze, wondering who Kathleen would choose
Regardless, he would respect whatever decision she made. He did not have much time left, anyway. The next day, Kathleen and the others arrived at Jadeborough. As to where Kathleen was going to recuperate, Samuel, Charles, and Caleb each had different opinions on it, which got them into an argument. Sitting in the wheelchair, Kathleen said coldly, “Why are you three debating so passionately among yourselves? Have you forgotten I’m the one who makes the final call, not you three?” Instantly, the three men fell quiet.
“Mommy, I’ll follow you wherever you go.” Desi held Kathleen’s hand tightly, unwilling to let go.
“Kate—” Caleb was about to speak when Kathleen rejected him immediately.
“Mr. Lewis, I’m not going to the Lewis residence. Mr. Macari, please help me get a car. I have a house in Jadeborough.”
