All Too Late novel Chapter 435

I can’t tell him that I want to be with him, can I?

“Samuel, actually, I want to be your… sister.” Ashley squeezed her fingers as she went on, “I’m the only child. I want a… brother.”

“No. It’s either money or something else. I won’t agree to have such an ambiguous relationship with you,” Samuel replied flatly.

Ashley froze.

Why is this different from what I thought?

Samuel looked at her indifferently. “Do you still want to see the doctor?”

“I’ll go by myself.” After a pause, Ashley added hesitantly, “Samuel, how about this? Treat it as a favor you owe me. I’ll come to you when I have the need to in the future. Is that okay?”

“Okay.”

That’s great!

“I hope you’ll have your mind made up when you come to me,” Samuel added before closing the car door and instructing the driver to drive.

Biting her lip, Ashley watched him leave.

I didn’t expect him to be so unyielding, but it’s okay. I have other ways.

Kathleen woke up early the next day.

After she went downstairs, she saw Samuel sitting in the living room, and there was food on the table.

“How did you come in?” Kathleen was surprised.

“With key. Desi gave it to me,” explained Samuel.

Kathleen recalled that she had indeed given Desiree the key to her house when the latter lived here.

Kathleen did not expect Desiree would give the key to Samuel.

“Why didn’t you wake me up?” Kathleen frowned.

“I want you to sleep a little longer,” Samuel replied.

She went over to sit next to him. “I know all the ins and outs. How’s Miley doing?”

“She didn’t hurt her head, but she won’t be able to stand up for the rest of her life,” stated Samuel calmly.

It’s that bad?

Kathleen knitted her brows. “What is Richard going to do?”

Samuel glanced sideways at her. “What do you think?”

“If he wants to take care of Miley, Gemma…” Kathleen could not finish her sentence. Instead, she said, “It’ll be too cruel for her.”

Samuel held her hand. “She has to face it.”

Kathleen felt bad for Gemma. “It’s too cruel.”

There was a solemn look in Samuel’s ÑÖvelËbook eyes. Indeed. It’s not easy for Richard and Gemma to be together. Gemma has indeed sacrificed a lot in the relationship.

“Kate.” Gemma’s voice was suddenly heard coming from upstairs.

Kathleen immediately rose to her feet. “Gem, you’re awake. Are you hungry? Samuel got us some breakfast.”

“Yeah.” Gemma nodded.

Kathleen grabbed Gemma’s hand and said, “Let’s go and eat something.” The former then glanced at Samuel. “Come eat together.”

Samuel nodded.

The three of them went to the dining room.

Kathleen took care of Gemma.

“Here’s some soy milk and bread.” Kathleen placed the breakfast in front of Gemma.

Gemma took a sip of the soy milk. “Samuel, how’s Miley?”

“I called just now and was told that she’s out of critical condition. I’ve also helped you to apply for leave at the hospital. You can take a good rest and return to work anytime,” Samuel replied.

“Thanks.” Gemma’s eyes were reddened.
