Chapter 478 Incident
“So, you are still alive.” Samuel was reminded of Richard’s pain. Richard deserves to suffer. He has chosen to believe Elena, after all.
“That’s right. Are you here to visit the kids?” Gemma said nonchalantly. Samuel nodded.
“I saw the news. Congratulations on finally reconciling with Kate. You two have been through a lot.” She was genuinely happy for them.
“Thank you for helping her take care of the kids,” he expressed his gratitude.
“You’re being too polite. I am their godmother, after all.”
Samuel uttered solemnly, “I’ll have to rush back later. I’ll need to continue troubling you with them.”
“All right.” Gemma nodded.
“How long do you reckon you two will stay busy?”
“We will return here once Old Mrs. Lester’s condition stabilizes,” Samuel replied.
“I got it.” Gemma smiled faintly.
“Tell Kate not to worry. I’ll make sure the kids are safe and sound.”
“Okay.” Samuel patted his children’s heads.
“I’m going back to meet with your Mommy. You two stay at home obediently and listen to Gemma. Do you hear me?”
“Rest assured, Daddy. I’ll take good care of Desi,” said Eilam. The little girl pouted at her brother’s words.
“I don’t need someone to take care of me. I’m a grown-up now.” Samuel beamed at them affectionately.
“Okay. In that case, take good care of yourselves.”
“Daddy, we will wait for you and Mommy to come back!” Anticipation filled Desiree’s voice. She knew her parents had truly reconciled this time.
“Okay.” Samuel nodded. He stood up, turned around, and left. Desiree held Eilam’s hand and chirped, “Eil, Mommy and Daddy are finally back together. They won’t split up again after this!”
“Yes.” Eilam was delighted too. However, he was not as expressive as his sister. Samuel got into the car heading back to Nardor.
Just then, Richard sent him a text message: Samuel, can you help me ask Kathleen where did she bury Gem? Samuel replied: I can’t help you, Richard. You’re still far too kind toward Elena. She is significantly related to Gemma’s accident, yet you only held her captive and continued caring for her, providing her with food and drinks. You’ll regret this sooner or later. Richard felt anguished.
He responded: What should I do then? Samuel: Do I need to teach you what to do? Deal with this matter without letting your feelings cloud your judgment. He placed down his phone after sending out the message.
Then, he took a walk down the memory lane. Nicolette hurt Kathleen, and he had let Nicolette off the hook because she saved his life. His decision had allowed Nicolette the chance to harm Kathleen for a second time. That decision had also became his deepest remorse. He gave that heartfelt advice to Richard because he did not want Richard to regret his actions. As for Samuel, he would no longer show Nicolette any mercy as well.
An hour later, Samuel arrived at the hospital. He had left the hospital for four hours since his departure earlier. Thus, he figured the surgery should be ending soon. Just as Samuel entered the hospital, Francis exited the elevator.
“You’re back?” Samuel nodded indifferently.
“How’s the operation?”
“It’s a great success.” Francis grinned.
“Kate was simply superb. I heard the doctors and nurses who worked alongside her in the operating theatre compliment her extraordinary medical skills.”
“That goes without saying.” Samuel felt proud.
“I’ll check on her.” Now that the surgery had ended, he was afraid that the members of the Lester family would inform Kathleen of the entire truth when she was in that exhausted state.
