Chapter 348 Who Is He
Kathleen nodded and gave a brief response.
With a gentle tone, Caleb asked, “So, can I take care of you in the future?”
Kathleen did not understand his intention earlier.
It was at that moment when she finally got it.
Frowning, she apologized, “I’m sorry, Mr. Lewis. I’ve lost my memory, so I can’t accept your offer. My wound will be healed soon once I have the medicine. I don’t need anyone to take care of me.”
Caleb was at a loss for words.
The Kathleen in front of him looked like the Kathleen he knew, yet they were different.
At that moment, Samuel returned, bringing Desi along with him.
Caleb snorted.
What a cunning man! He failed to win Kathleen’s heart, so he’s using familial ties now.
“Mommy!” Desi ran to the bed with some flowers in her hands.
It was obvious that they were freshly plucked.
“Mommy, these are for you.” Desi grinned, exposing her little canine teeth.
A smile appeared on Kathleen’s lips. “Thank you. But how did you get these flowers on the ship?”
“The cruise is stopped by an island now. She went down to pick them just now,” Samuel explained.
Kathleen nodded.
“Mommy, does your wound still hurt?” Desi asked worriedly.
“It doesn’t hurt anymore. Thank you.” Kathleen caressed Desi’s hand.
“Get well soon, okay? I still want to go to the amusement park with you. Eil, too! I just called him to tell him I’ve found you, and he’s really happy about it.” Desi sounded very excited.
Kathleen put on a warm smile. “All right. I’ll bring both of you to the amusement park when I’m well.”
Desi beamed. “Okay! Rest well, Mommy. I’ll go out to play now.”
“Sure. Go ahead,” Kathleen responded gently.
Desi handed the flowers to Samuel and reminded him, “Daddy, don’t forget to place these in a vase. I plucked these for Mommy.”
“Of course. I won’t forget.” Samuel took the flowers from the little girl, who skipped out of the room after.
“You sly fox,” Caleb mocked Samuel coldly.
Unfazed, the latter bent over and looked at Kathleen. “Go back to sleep. I’ll bring you the medicine once it’s ready.”
Kathleen nodded.
She was truly exhausted; she did not want to think too much about anything.
Caleb understood her condition.
Hence, he had no choice but to follow Samuel out of the room.
Upon stepping outside, he snorted at Samuel and strode off.
Meanwhile, Samuel lowered his gaze, wondering who Kathleen would choose.
Regardless, he would respect whatever decision she made.
He did not have much time left, anyway.
The next day, Kathleen and the others arrived at Jadeborough.
As to where Kathleen was going to recuperate, Samuel, Charles, and Caleb each had different opinions on it, which got them into an argument.
Sitting in the wheelchair, Kathleen said coldly, “Why are you three debating so passionately among yourselves? Have you forgotten I’m the one who makes the final call, not you three?”
Instantly, the three men fell quiet.
“Mommy, I’ll follow you wherever you go.” Desi held Kathleen’s hand tightly, unwilling to let go.
“Kate—” Caleb was about to speak when Kathleen rejected him immediately. “Mr. Lewis, I’m not going to the Lewis residence. Mr. Macari, please help me get a car. I have a house in Jadeborough.”
“Okay.” Samuel nodded.
He would not attempt to change Kathleen’s decisions.
It did not matter where she lived.
He was fine with it as long as she was in Jadeborough and somewhere within his sight all the time.
“Daddy, can I stay with Mommy?” Desi asked eagerly.
With a gentle voice, Samuel answered, “Mommy needs to rest for now. Once she’s better, you can stay with her as long as you want. Okay?”
“Okay.” Desi nodded resignedly.
“It’s fine. Let Desi stay with me. I’ll find a housekeeper to take care of our daily needs,” said Kathleen.
“All right,” Samuel quickly agreed.
“Mommy, I’m sure Eil would like that, too,” Desi added softly.
She had not forgotten to ask on Eil’s behalf.
Kathleen cast Samuel a glance. “Is that okay?”
“Are you sure you can take care of two children?” Samuel asked with concern.
Kathleen nodded. “Yes. I’ll be fine soon when the medicine is here.”
Naturally, Samuel listened to her. “Okay.”
“Sorry for troubling you,” Kathleen said lightly.
“Get in the car, then. I’ll bring you guys there.” After saying that, Samuel opened the car door.
Since Kathleen was seated in the wheelchair, he scooped her up and walked to the car.
Seeing that, Desi covered her mouth and giggled.
Meanwhile, Charles gazed at Desi intently.
He knew he could not get too involved in Kathleen and Samuel’s matters.
After all, they had children together.
No doubt, the children were the priority in their decision-making.
That was something no one had control over.
It was also Samuel’s advantage.
“Kate, I’d like to go over and have a look. I just want to check what your house is like and confirm the address,” Charles piped up with a half-smile.
Kathleen gave him a nod.
Caleb was also about to say something, but Samuel beat him to it and uttered coldly, “Mr. Lewis, isn’t your company swamped with work today? I was reading the financial news this morning, and it seems that the company you were planning to purchase is facing a major problem. Shouldn’t you hurry over to solve it?”
“It must be your doing, right?” Caleb placed the blame on Samuel without thinking twice.
Samuel commented nonchalantly, “If it was me, you’d be hearing news about the Lewis Enterprises going bankrupt.”
“You—” Caleb’s gaze darkened.
Kathleen, who was still in Samuel’s arms, asked, “Mr. Macari, can you please put me in the car first?”
Hearing that, Samuel nodded obediently and placed her in the car.
Desi quickly crawled into the vehicle and sat beside Kathleen, hugging the latter tightly.
It was evident how much she liked Kathleen.
Afterward, Samuel got into the car as well.
Charles glanced at Caleb and consoled, “Don’t be too reckless. He’s got an advantage.”
In response, Caleb huffed.
“You should hurry and get back to the office. I heard Samuel really has nothing to do with it,” Charles advised grimly.
“Got it,” responded Caleb coldly.
Charles flashed him a subtle smile before entering his own car.
Forty minutes later, they arrived in front of a mansion.
Samuel got down from the car, took the wheelchair out of the trunk, and placed it on the ground.
Then, he opened the door to the backseat, carrying Kathleen out and placing her in the wheelchair.
“Mr. Macari, you don’t have to do all this for me. I can manage.”
“It’s a habit. It’s hard to change,” explained Samuel with his husky voice.
Kathleen was rendered speechless.
“Let’s go in.” With that, Samuel wheeled her into the courtyard while Desi and Charles followed behind them.
Scanning the area, Charles remarked, “This mansion is not bad. When did you buy it, Kate?”
“Three years ago, I think? A rich businessman from Jadeborough wanted to buy my medicine, but he had little cash on him. So, he used this house as a mortgage. In the end, I kept it because I found it quite nice,” Kathleen answered.
Samuel furrowed his brows. “Will your master’s subordinates come looking for you here?”
“Not for now. The organization is facing a lot of problems at the moment. He’ll lose his grandson if he doesn’t solve them,” Kathleen said.
Charles frowned at her words. “Grandson? Who is this old man?”
