All Too Late novel Chapter 441

Chapter 441 Unsuccessful Surgery

Receiving no news from Kathleen the whole day, Samuel couldn’t help but feel resigned.He put down the phone and removed his jacket before moving to his work desk.

After quite some time, Tyson called and said, “Mr. Macari, that man said he wants to meet up with you, and he’ll only let Mr. Larson go once he sees you.”

“Got it.” Samuel sounded rather nonchalant. “Make the necessary arrangement. I’m going there now.”

“On it!” Tyson nodded.

As Samuel leaped up from his seat, his obsidian-like eyes darkened.

He’s finally showing up, huh? Let’s see who this mysterious fellow is.

Meanwhile, Richard came to the hospital and went straight to Miley’s ward.

Prior to that, he was resting at home.He hadn’t been having any good night’s sleep for a few days in a row, so he thought of catching up on some sleep.

Unexpectedly, Miley rang him up.

Of course, he bolted to the hospital right after getting summoned.

“What’s wrong?” Richard’s brows knitted to a knot of worry as he gazed at Miley, who was recuperating in bed.

Tears welled up in the latter’s eyes.

“Someone came here to threaten me just now, Richard. He warned me to watch my back, or he’ll claim my life with his own hands.”

“Who was that?”

“I-I don’t know… He said he’s sent by one of Gemma’s close friends. I-I don’t even know him…” were Miley’s words. There was a tinge of grievance in her voice.

Gemma’s close friend? Could it be Kathleen? Nah… Not possible.

Still, Richard posed a query.

“Do you mean Kathleen?” A frown formed across his forehead.

Miley sniffled while dropping a remark.

“I know that woman loves you a lot, and you, too, are madly in love with her. Still, I really can’t bear to leave you. Even if she threatens me or even ends my life in the process, I’ll never part ways with you.”

Hearing her words, he approached her and sat by her side. “Gemma’s not a vicious woman. Neither is her friend, Kathleen. In fact, Kathleen just informed me today that she’ll treat your legs.”

“No, no, no!” Miley shook her head frantically at that. “I don’t want her help. She’s Gemma’s best friend, so she’s bound to harm me one way or another. I refuse!”

“Kathleen won’t do that to you,” refuted Richard with a complicated visage.

“How can you be so confident? Do you know her inside and out?” Miley felt all the more aggrieved. “What if she really finished me off?”

A look of helplessness appeared on the man’s face.

He knew Kathleen would never do something like that, yet there was nothing else he could do to hinder Miley from thinking that way.

“I don’t care! I don’t want her to treat me!” As Miley continued to yell, she suddenly began to sob pitifully. “You must be thinking I’m such a burden…”

Left with no choice, Richard ultimately relented.

“Fine, fine. I won’t let her treat you. Please stop crying.”

“Really?” She sniffled.

He inclined his head and acknowledged that.

“Yes, for real.”

Only then did Miley break into a bright smile.

“Great! I can stay alive, then.”

Richard’s eyes seemed to be holding a lot of emotions.

“Can you stay and accompany me here tonight, Richard? I don’t know why, but I’m feeling very uneasy these few days,” she pleaded in a casual manner.

“Mm.” Richard nodded in approval.

Seeing that, Miley grinned in satisfaction.

“I’ll be sleeping on the couch, I guess.” He rose to his feet and went to sit on the couch, then lay down on it.

She pursed her lips.

Whatever. It doesn’t matter as long as he stays.

In truth, Richard was genuinely beaten.

He fell into a deep slumber very quickly.

Miley’s eyes flickered at that.

Right then, Stanley walked in from outside.

Hearing his footsteps nearing, she turned to shoot him a meaningful stare, gesturing for him to quiet down for a bit.

Stanley then tiptoed toward Richard and sneakily took out the latter’s phone from the suit’s pocket. Following that, he turned off the phone before sliding it back into Richard’s suit.

Miley arched a brow at Stanley.

The latter took the hint and wheeled around to depart from the ward.

Miley’s smile reached her eyes as she watched Stanley leave.

Richard will be all mine after tonight. No one can take him away from me!

On the other side, Kathleen returned home and took a short break.

Thirty minutes later, her phone rang.
