When the doctor came out, he noticed the grim look on Samuel’s face and was about to leave quickly, not wishing to land himself in trouble.
“Stop right there,” Samuel said in an icy voice.
The doctor halted and asked nervously, “Mr. Macari, what can I help you with?”
“Have you watched the recording of the surveillance cameras?” Samuel asked coldly.
The doctor nodded. “Yes, of course. This is a serious matter.”
“What did Kathleen use to put that man under control?” Samuel frowned.
The doctor answered, “It’s a silver needle used in acupuncture. Last night, Benjamin’s situation was crucial, and she used a silver needle to save him.”
A silver needle?
Samuel never knew that Kathleen possessed such a skill.
“Her granddad was a traditional medicine doctor. He even held the position as an advisor in the National Traditional Medicine Hospital headquarters,” the doctor explained.
Samuel fell silent as he was unaware of that.
He never took the initiative to know more about Kathleen, despite the fact that she had been right in front of him.
Yet, not once did he at least try to understand her wholeheartedly.
“I see.” Samuel nodded.
Then, he turned to Tyson and ordered, “Go and find that man.”
“Yes, roger that,” Tyson replied in a serious tone.
After that, Samuel went to look for Nicolette.
Nicolette was just done combing her hair.
She felt anxious when she saw that a bunch of her hair had fallen again.
If this continues, I might actually die…
At that moment, she heard footsteps coming from outside and immediately put on her hat.
Samuel walked into the room, his eyes dark and cold.
Nicolette was about to hide her fallen hair, but Samuel walked toward her and seized the strands of hair in her palm.
She was so afraid that her eyes turned red. “Samuel, if I one day lose all of my hair, would you come to resent me?”
Samuel shook his head.
Nicolette’s eyes welled up in tears at once.
She hugged Samuel and said, “I knew you wouldn’t.”
Heating that, Samuel felt a weight in his heart.
Nicolette then continued through sobs, “Samuel, I don’t want the bone marrow anymore. Can you just divorce her? I want to spend my remaining days with you. That way, I won’t have any regrets even if I die.”
She wanted Samuel and Kathleen to get a divorce as soon as possible, at any cost. She did not want Samuel to hesitate anymore.
His hesitation showed that he held feelings for Kathleen.
Nicolette could not let things develop this way. At this rate, she would lose Samuel forever.
“Samuel, let’s get married. The greatest wish in my life is to marry you. After I fulfill my wish, I can die without regret,” Nicolette persuaded through tears in a pitiful voice.
Samuel stayed silent and did not say anything.
Nicolette felt uneasy and urged, “Samuel?”
However, he pushed Nicolette away. “We should wait a bit longer. I won’t let you die,” he said indifferently.
Nicolette sobbed while looking at him. “Samuel, I want to take our wedding photos before I lose all of my hair. Can you do that for me?”
Samuel paused for a while before agreeing.
At that, Nicolette’s mood lightened up. “Shall we go dress fitting tomorrow then?”
“Okay,” Samuel replied.
Nicolette was very pleased with the outcome.
As far as she knew, Kathleen had never worn a wedding dress or taken wedding photos with Samuel.
“There’s something I want to ask you,” Samuel said with a serious expression.
“What is it?” Nicolette glanced at him nervously.
“Did you send someone to hurt Kathleen?” Samuel asked with a calm voice.
Nicolette was stunned.
She had assumed that he would ask whether she was the one who sent the man who removed Benjamin’s oxygen mask the day before.
To her surprise, he asked about Kathleen.
