Chapter 351 Never See Them Again
The moment Samuel exited the mansion, he spotted Richard’s car and walked over.
Richard was smoking with his windows rolled down, and his arm hanging outside the car.
The hand that usually held a scalpel currently had a cigarette between its fingers, giving off a depressing vibe.
When Richard saw Samuel approaching him, he tossed his cigarette and got out of the car.
“Did you find anything?” Samuel asked with a deep and icy voice.
“Nothing. By the time we went after them, the island was already empty,” said Richard with a complicated expression.
Samuel fell silent.
“What did Kathleen say?” Richard asked with a look of curiosity.
“She still doesn’t want to talk about it,” Samuel said indifferently.
“Sam, time waits for no one. The male lovebug in your body shouldn’t be taken lightly.” Richard frowned. “Don’t forget, Yareli’s the biggest threat.”
“I know this better than you,” Samuel responded in an icy tone. “Gemma’s staying here tonight. Why are you still here?”
“I thought you’d be staying for the night. That way, she won’t have to stay,” said Richard coolly. “I just came back yesterday.”
“Forget about it. Kathleen treats me like a total stranger now,” Samuel said gloomily.
Richard snorted lightly. “Well, well. Finally getting a taste of your own medicine, eh? Remember how you hurt her in the past? Yet, she still returned and was reluctant to part with you. Now that she’s forgotten all about you, all she has for you is indifference, no matter how much you care.”
Samuel stretched out his hand toward Richard. “Give me a cigarette.”
Richard handed Samuel one, and the latter lit it up.
“Have you heard of this saying?” Richard asked slowly. “’One would eventually have to pay for their evil deeds.’ Because of Nicolette, you ignored Kathleen in the past. Well, serves you right. It’s time you get a taste of your own medicine.”
Samuel glanced at Richard in displeasure. “Are you staying here just to make fun of me?”
Richard chuckled. “Anyway, do you want to have a drink? You’re not taking care of your children tonight, anyway.”
Samuel shook his head. “No, thanks. I’ve been trying to keep to a healthy lifestyle lately.”
Richard was at a loss for words.
With that, Samuel entered his car and drove away, leaving behind a puzzled Richard.
Did I hear that correctly? Did he just say “healthy lifestyle”?
Not long after, Samuel arrived at Florinia Manor.
The mansion was brightly lit.
When he entered the house, Calvin and Wynnie were sitting in the living room.
“Mom? Dad?” Samuel called out in puzzlement.
Wynnie rose to her feet. “Samuel…”
A thought came to Samuel’s mind, and he quickly explained, “Mom, the children are with Kate. I hope you can be understanding and let her have her way.”
“Don’t worry. We won’t stop her,” Wynnie assured, walking over to Samuel. “I just wanted to know when can we visit her. How is she doing?”
Samuel said grimly, “She needs to recuperate for now. Please help me explain this to Grandma. It’s best to not bother Kate for the time being and let her get enough rest.”
“Okay. Don’t worry.” Wynnie nodded. “Remember to pass Kate our regards.”
Samuel gave her a complicated look. “Mom, you should prepare yourself mentally. Kate’s lost her memory. And with everything she had experienced over the past few years, she’s not the same person anymore.”
“Don’t worry. We understand.” Wynnie smiled kindly. “We’re just glad to hear that she’s fine.”
Calvin got to his feet. “If there’s nothing else, we’ll get going then.”
Samuel nodded. “Goodbye.”
Calvin nodded and led Wynnie out of the mansion.
As soon as they got into the car, Wynnie broke into tears.
“Darling, do you think Kate will take the children away?” she sobbed. “If she does, we won’t see them anymore.”
Calvin was dumbstruck.
Why is she suddenly crying?
“I don’t think that’ll happen,” Calvin said, though feeling unsure.
“Didn’t you hear Samuel just now?” Wynnie wiped her tears. “Kate’s lost her memory. Even her personality has changed. I’m worried she has lost all her feelings for Samuel. What if she takes the children away from Samuel and us? What if they leave this place? Oh no… I won’t get to see my grandchildren anymore.”
Calvin was stumped.
That night, when everyone was asleep, Kathleen sat by the window and gazed at the moon.
It was exceptionally large and round.
Suddenly, her phone rang.
When Kathleen saw the phone number on the screen, the corner of her lips curled into a smirk.
“Master, I can’t believe you actually called.” Kathleen’s tone was indifferent.
“Kathleen, I’ll never let you off!” Theodore growled.
“I’ll never let you take my daughter’s blood,” responded Kathleen calmly. “You tricked me back then for my daughter, didn’t you?”
Theodore was stumped, but he soon answered, “So what?”
“Master, your biggest mistake is messing with my daughter,” Kathleen informed coldly.
Theodore scoffed, “I wasn’t expecting you to regain your memories at this time either.”
With a cold tone, Kathleen refuted, “You’re wrong. I never regained my memories. I just realized there was something wrong with some matters and started suspecting my identity. That’s why I did what I did. Clearly, my guess was right.”
“If that’s the case, why did you answer my call?” Theodore inquired coldly.
“Why did you call me, then?” Kathleen asked in return.
Theodore was momentarily stunned. Snapping out of it, he muttered, “I want to save my grandson.”
“Are you trying to strike a deal with me?” Kathleen asked with a smirk.
“Yes.” Theodore fell silent for a moment before saying, “I have to save my grandson!”
“Master, do you think I’ll actually give you my child?” Kathleen asked coldly.
“Then, why did you leave me this note?” Theodore questioned icily.
He found a piece of note in his coat pocket earlier that day.
The moment he saw the handwriting, he recognized it was Kathleen’s.
That was why he called her.
After trying to come up with a way to save his grandson, he was now at his wit’s end.
Right then, Kathleen’s eyes glinted brightly.
“You have a solution, don’t you?” Theodore asked softly.
“I sure do,” answered Kathleen nonchalantly. “Master, if you had let me see that child earlier, I would’ve helped you to save him long ago.”
“Do you really have a solution?” Theodore was in disbelief.
Kathleen asked grimly, “Do you not believe me?”
“What are your terms?” asked Theodore.
“The truth,” Kathleen stated calmly. “I want the truth. All of it. I want you to tell me everything you know.”
Theodore murmured, “That depends on whether you can cure Zion.”
Kathleen smiled lightly, knowing Theodore was negotiating with her. “Master, here’s an idea. Why don’t you send Zion to my place? When he’s completely cured, I’ll send him back to you. Then, you can tell me everything. How’s that?”
Theodore hesitated. “I believe you, but—”
“Samuel’s never seen Zion before, and I won’t reveal his identity either.” Kathleen’s eyes flickered. “What say you?”
