Chapter 500 Hostage

“I’ll call and thank them later.” Kathleen felt apologetic.

“Okay.” Yvonne nodded. Kathleen held Betty’s hand.

“Grandma, I’ll introduce you to Old Mrs. Macari when we return. Her temperament is very similar to yours. I’m sure you two will become very good friends.”

Betty smiled brightly. “Okay.”

Kathleen accompanied Betty and chatted for a long time.

“Grandma, it’s getting late. You should rest now. I’ll ask Charles to come to meet you tomorrow,” Kathleen said.

Betty bobbed her head slightly. “All right.”

Then, Kathleen got up and went back to her room.

Samuel returned to the room before her. He was already done showering and was lying on the bed.

Kathleen lay down next to him. “Are you asleep?”

He gradually opened his eyes. “I was waiting for you.”

“Samuel, I now have my own blood-related family too.” She rested her head on the pillow. “I’m no longer alone in this world.”

Samuel’s voice was low and deep. “Are you happy?”

She nodded. “I am happy.”

“I’m happy as long as you’re happy.” Samuel gently shifted her head and placed it on his shoulder.

Kathleen took a deep breath. “Trevor is still missing, nor do we know what he’s up to.”

“I’m certain he has yet to leave the country. I’ve arranged for my men to keep a lookout. They will update us if there’s any news,” he uttered confidently.

“Okay.” Kathleen gave him a slight nod. “Go back to sleep. I’m going to take a bath.”

With that, she stepped into the bathroom.

Samuel stared at the ceiling with an unfathomable expression.

The following day, Kathleen went to the hospital and helped Clarissa do a detailed physical examination.

Then, with Clarissa’s CT scan report in her hands, she went to see Charles.

Charles looked sullen. “How is it?”

“A surgery is plausible, but we will have to wait for her condition to stabilize further,” Kathleen explained.

“When will be the optimal time to carry out the operation?” His voice sounded hoarse.

“We need to wait for at least a year,” she replied.

A year?

Charles nodded slightly. “As long as she can be cured, I’m willing to wait another ten years. One year is nothing.”

Kathleen pursed her lips. “Charles, Grandma is here.”

Charles was startled to hear that. “When did that happen?”

“Yesterday. Grandma was already at the hotel when I went back yesterday,” she answered.

He nodded. “Penny for your thoughts?”

“Grandma told me she wishes to return to Jadeborough with me. I want to bring her back,” Kathleen explained.

“That’s good too. Kate, I don’t think I can go back now. Clarissa and the Blissful Sect need me. You’ll have to take care of Grandma in my stead,” Charles uttered solemnly.

Kathleen placed a hand on her brother’s shoulder. “Charles, go to the hotel and visit Grandma. I’ll stay here and keep Clarissa company.”

Charles glanced at Clarissa, who was lying on the bed. He did not know when she would wake up in her current condition.

“All right. I’ll be back very soon.” He turned around and left.

Kathleen glanced at Clarissa before sitting down.

A few minutes later, she heard a commotion originating from the corridor outside the ward. It was as if pandemonium erupted.

Less than a minute later, the sound of footsteps halted on the opposite of the ward’s door.

Someone forcefully pushed the door open from outside.
