Chapter 430 Do You Not Hate Me
“You…” Samuel’s voice was extremely hoarse.
“Did you remember something?”
Kathleen started to loosen the grip on his collar.
“Is that important?”
His eyes turned dark. “Of course!”
She snorted, slowly sobering up as the cold wind blew against her face.
“Are you scared that my memories will recover, Samuel?”
Samuel did not answer, merely staring at her with his intent gaze.He’d lying if he said he wasn’t.
“Never mind. I won’t force you anymore,” Kathleen said miserably.
“Let’s go home.”
Right after saying that, she turned around.
Suddenly, Samuel hugged her from behind while still holding the umbrella with one hand.
“I’ll answer you.”
She knitted her brows.
“It’s fine if it’s too much for you.”
She no longer longed to know.
“Let’s get in the car first. It’s a bit inconvenient for me to talk here,” Samuel reminded her that his wrist had not recovered yet.
She lowered her head to look at the right hand on her waist, softly laying her hand on top of it.
“Okay.”
When they got into the car, Samuel turned up the air-conditioning, fearing she would get sick.
Kathleen massaged her sore temples.
“How much do you remember?” he asked hoarsely.
“Not much. All of them are memories of you hurting me, though.”
The man swallowed hard. Indeed. When I recall, we don’t have many sweet moments together.
“Don’t you hate me?” he queried darkly.
Kathleen answered helplessly, “What’s the use of doing so?”
Samuel stayed silent.
She slowly added, “Although I regained my memories, I didn’t forget about the present. How do I put it? Well, I think that’s enough punishment for you. After all, I’d also be exhausted if we carried on this way. I simply don’t want things to get messy again.”
He held her hand. “I didn’t hide it from you on purpose.”
“I understand. Everyone has their own secrets that they can’t tell.”
Since he did not want to bring it up, she would not force him either.
Right then, Samuel changed the topic. “When I was abducted, a little girl helped me to escape. However, she did not make it while we were trying to flee and was killed by those people.”
Kathleen was stunned. Killed?
“I should have protected her,” he choked out.
“Hence, I always felt indebted to her, but I didn’t even know who she was. When I returned home, I immediately asked my father to save her. However, blood was all we found upon arriving there. We did not see anyone, let alone the little girl’s corpse. I’ve hired people to investigate her all these years, and not long ago, I found out her last name is Zeller. Ashley Zeller. She’s Luna’s niece. I didn’t expect that she’s still alive.”
Perplexed, she asked, “Really?”
Samuel nodded. “I heard the Zeller family was afraid she would get into danger again, so she’s been living under the radar.”
Kathleen pursed her lips. “Isn’t that great? You don’t need to be so guilty if she’s still alive.”
“Mm. I’m just scared you would mind her relationship with Luna.” She shrugged.
“Whatever. She’s not the one who harmed me. I’m someone who knows how to distinguish between gratitude and grudges, after all.”
To her, Samuel’s benefactor was also hers.
Samuel gazed at her and mumbled, “Are you really not mad?”
“Do you think I’d get mad that easily?” Kathleen asked in displeasure. “I have quite a good temper if I say so myself.”
He cleared his throat. “Yeah, you do.”
In fact, he seemed to be the complete opposite of her right now.
“Let’s go home. I have a headache.” She leaned against the seat.
Upon hearing that, Samuel called the driver standing outside to start the car.
When they got home, the rain had stopped.
The air was fresh and had a fragrance of earth.
After getting out of the car, the duo walked into the mansion and went upstairs to their room.
