Chapter 191 Put An End To Kathleen
“Alright. Charles, you can stop worrying about that now. Now, let’s talk about Vivian. I heard that she managed to recognize you today,” Kathleen stated.
Charles nodded in response.
Kathleen stroked her chin and said, “That’s good. That means there are times when she’s clear-minded.”
“But she started shrieking soon after that,” Charles said worriedly.
“Follow me to the Lewis residence tomorrow. We’ll take a look together,” Kathleen suggested.
Charles nodded and replied, “Okay.”
He really wanted to cure Vivian.
After all, a kind-hearted girl like her shouldn’t be wasting her life like this.
Kathleen patted his shoulder and said, “Charles, you should go home and get some sleep.”
With a darkened expression, Charles reminded in a worried tone, “Okay, I’ll take my leave. Take good care of yourself. Call me if there’s anything.”
Kathleen was amused. “This is a hospital. What could possibly happen? You’re too alert.”
Even then, Charles was still worried. “I can’t help it. The Yoeger family has been too active lately.”
Kathleen said seriously, “Don’t worry. Nothing will happen.”
“Okay.” Charles was persuaded by her, so he got up and prepared to leave.
He calmly continued, “I’ll get going now and be back tomorrow.”
“Charles, I want to be discharged tomorrow and return to the film site to see that person called Jennifer,” Kathleen said meaningfully.
After giving it some thought, Charles said, “I guess it’s better to get things resolved as soon as possible so that it doesn’t get more complicated.”
Kathleen nodded.
Charles turned around and left.
Soon after, Kathleen got ready to sleep.
The next day, Kathleen was preparing to get discharged.
She planned to head straight to the film site.
Valerie came to help her pack up and accompany her to the film site.
Right when Kathleen got out of the restroom after changing, she saw Christopher.
Surprised, she called, “Chris?”
Why is he here?
Christopher calmly said, “Hey. I heard something happened to you when I wasn’t in Jadeborough for the past few days, so I rushed here to pay you a visit. Are you feeling better?”
Kathleen stretched her waist a little and replied, “Don’t worry. My condition’s much better now.”
“I saw the news online. You were injured quite severely,” he said worriedly.
Kathleen smilingly reassured, “I’m really fine now.”
He stared into her eyes and said, “Okay. I’m glad to hear that you’re okay.”
With a gentle smile, Kathleen said, “Chris, thank you for visiting me. However, I’m going straight to the film site after being discharged, so…”
Feeling helpless, he replied, “Alright, go ahead.”
Kathleen called for Valerie, and they both got ready to leave.
In a raspy voice, Christopher suggested, “Kate, let me send you there.”
Kathleen was stunned. “There’s no need to trouble you.”
He walked toward her and said, “It’s no trouble at all. There’s something I need to talk to you about.”
Reluctantly, she nodded. “Okay.”
They went downstairs together.
After that, Kathleen got into Christopher’s car.
Throughout the journey, Christopher remained silent.
He seemed to be mentally preparing what he was about to say.
After arriving at the film site, Christopher finally started to speak.
He asked in a hoarse voice, “Are you sure you don’t want to date me?”
Once again, Kathleen was caught off guard by his words.
In actuality, she could sense that Christopher was going to confess to her.
She gripped the hem of her shirt and lowered her head. “Chris, I’m sorry.”
Christopher said bitterly, “In the end, I still lost to Samuel.”
Kathleen shook her head and remarked, “Chris, I won’t be with Samuel. I’ve already rejected him.”
He stared intently at Kathleen and questioned, “Why?”
She explained, “Why would I give another chance to someone who has hurt me before? Even though he’s now aware of what he did wrong and has fixed his mistake, the trauma I suffered will always be there.”
Christopher asked, “Will he… give up on you?”
In a grim voice, she uttered, “It doesn’t matter to me whether he gives up or not. He knows that he’ll drive me to the brink of death if he forces me.”
Christopher remembered the wedding ceremony from a year before.
Kathleen fell into despair and really felt like dying.
She’s right. Samuel would never force her to that extent anymore.
With a deep voice, he said, “Kate, then why are you not considering me? The reason I left was to deal with Astrid. I’ve already settled my family problems as well. Except for Grandpa, both Mom and Dad will accept you. You don’t have to care about what Grandpa thinks.”
She gazed at his handsome face and replied, “Chris, putting all these aside, the ultimate reason is that I don’t love you.”
He was rendered speechless.
She continued, “I know how well you treat me. That’s precisely why I’ve been rejecting you over and over again. I can’t compromise. Compromising is a painful thing to do. I don’t want us to end up being an unhappy couple and ruin the chance to even become friends.”
I really don’t want things to end up that way.
Christopher mocked himself, “Am I not good enough?”
Kathleen bit her lips and said, “You… are good. However, liking someone doesn’t correlate to how good a person is. It depends on how you feel about that person. Everyone defines their feelings differently. From my point of view, no matter how good a person is, if that person doesn’t make my heart race, then that person’s not the one. So don’t you think it’s better to make things clear right from the beginning?”
With a look of defeat, Christopher glanced at her and said, “You’re too honest.”
There’s nothing I can do about her honesty. I wish she would give me just a glimmer of hope, but she has ended all possibilities.
“Did I rush it too much? Maybe I should’ve waited. I should’ve waited until you realize that there’s a good guy like me by your side. Wouldn’t you choose me then?”
Kathleen pursed her lips. “I don’t know what’s going to happen in the future, but I’ve already told you how I feel.”
He sighed and said, “What am I going to do with you?”
Feeling awkward, Kathleen said, “Chris, I’m sorry. If you don’t feel comfortable about it, you can sever ties with me. I won’t mind.”
He said solemnly, “But I would. I don’t want to lose you… as a friend.”
Kathleen felt awkward.
“Go ahead. I’m not going to bother you any longer.”
“Okay.” Kathleen nodded.
She opened the car door and got off the car.
Christopher fell into deep thought as he watched her leave.
Kathleen let out a heavy sigh.
What’s with this situation? It’s all Charles’ fault. If he didn’t announce Christopher as my fiancé back then, there wouldn’t be so many problems.
Kathleen felt a headache coming.
Meanwhile, the film crew was shocked to see Kathleen.
Everyone came up to her to ask about her body condition.
She explained, “My body’s fine now. Thank you, everyone, for your concerns.”
After observing for some time, she noticed that everyone was concerned about her except Jennifer.
Something’s wrong with this woman indeed.
Upon seeing Kathleen, Jennifer was in shock.
Wasn’t Kathleen severely injured? How can she be back to continue filming? How?
A murderous glint flashed across Jennifer’s eyes.
I guess I’ll just have to end her life again! I’ll put an end to her no matter what! This time for sure!
