All Too Late novel Chapter 438

Kathleen’s eyes, which were initially closed, fluttered open. “Did she ask for other forms of repayment?”

Samuel remained silent for a moment, then nodded.

She raised a brow. “Interesting. What did she want?”

“She wants to be my little sister,” he admitted.

Kathleen was dumbstruck.

“I didn’t agree to it,” he muttered.

In fact, there was no way he would agree to it.

She turned over and stared fixedly at him. “I think Ashley’s up to no good. If she really makes a move, will you—”

“I won’t kill her. But if she messes with you, I’ll never forgive her,” Samuel said grimly.

Kathleen sighed with relief inwardly. “Okay.”

After saying that, she shut her eyes. “I hope she can accept reality.”

The next morning, Samuel received a phone call.

“Okay. Got it. Go back to the manor and help me pack my luggage,” he instructed sternly.

Kathleen was awakened by his voice. “What’s wrong?”

“It’s Nicholas. He’s gotten into some kind of trouble at Smealand. I’ll need to go there personally to settle it. I might stay there for a week.” He hugged her.

That long?

She nodded. “Okay. Stay safe.”

Samuel planted a kiss on her forehead. “Mm. You should get more sleep. I’ll wash up and leave when I’m done.”

“All right.”

With that, the man got up and went to wash up.

Kathleen lay back on the bed, but she could not fall asleep.

A moment later, Samuel was prepared to leave.

“Wait!” She walked up to him and slipped a talisman into his coat pocket. “Samuel, this talisman has a special pill. If you get tricked by someone, swallow it. It’ll help you.”

He held her hand. “All right. Don’t worry. I’ll come back in one piece.”

“Mm.” She nodded.

Samuel gave her a hug, pecked her red lips, then left.

Kathleen sighed silently and watched him leave the mansion.

Unable to fall back to sleep, she went to the kitchen to prepare some breakfast.

That day, Gemma came downstairs too.

However, her complexion was poor.

“How are you feeling?” Kathleen asked in concern.

Gemma felt her forehead and said, “I think I’m down with a slight fever.”

Kathleen frowned. “Are you still going to the hospital, then?”

“Yes!” Gemma answered confidently, for she had made the preparations. “Kate, can you accompany me to pack up my things after visiting the hospital?”

“Sure.”

Upon arriving at the hospital, Gemma went straight to the director’s office to hand in her letter of resignation.

The director tried to convince her to stay.

“I’ve really thought this through. Please let me resign,” she pleaded with a helpless expression.

The director sighed and responded reluctantly, “Very well.”

“Thank you.” Gemma turned around and exited the room.

Upon exiting the director’s office, she said to Kathleen, “I’m going to bid farewell to my colleagues.”

“Sure. Go ahead,” Kathleen said blandly.
