Chapter 475 Look At Me
An old friend? Samuel knitted his brows lightly and asked, “You already know who she is?”
Kathleen nodded slowly. “You know her very well.”
A glint fleeted through his dark eyes. “It’s her?”
Once again, Kathleen nodded. She knew Samuel had figured out who the woman was.
Although he had lost his memories, Tyson had informed him about those things. Thus, it didn’t take him long to guess who Ashley was.
“After I’m done with Old Mrs. Lester’s surgery, we’ll return and deal with them,” declared Kathleen icily.
Of course, she was also referring to Lauren and Luna.
In response, Samuel nodded.
Another day passed by quickly.
The next morning, Kathleen was about to head to the Lester residence when Yvonne showed up.
“Aunt Yvonne,” greeted Kathleen as she led Yvonne into the room.
Upon seeing Samuel, Yvonne nodded at him. “You’re also here, Mr. Macari.”
“I’ll leave so you may talk in private,” Samuel offered calmly before turning to leave.
“Please stay, Mr. Macari,” Yvonne interrupted with a half-smile. “The thing is, Kate is a special guest of our family. It would be embarrassing if people find out that she’s staying in a hotel.”
There were no changes in Samuel’s expression. “And so?”
“So, we want to invite you and Kate to stay at the Lester residence. What do you think?” Yvonne asked smilingly.
They could also use the opportunity to observe what kind of person Samuel was.
After all, it would be better to see it for themselves rather than listen to other people.
Wordlessly, Samuel looked at Kathleen for her decision.
He was determined to go wherever she went.
Kathleen, on the other hand, was abashed. “Won’t it be rude for us to stay there? We might disturb you.”
“No, it’s fine. We’re welcoming you with open arms,” Yvonne reassured. “My mom was worried the whole night because you didn’t return last night.”
Hearing that, Kathleen bit her lip. “With Samuel by my side, nothing will happen to me.”
“That can’t stop her from worrying,” replied Yvonne meaningfully. “My mom adores you a lot.”
Her words took Kathleen aback. “I like Old Mrs. Lester, too. She treats me very well,” she said after a while.
“Really?” Yvonne beamed. “All right, let’s go. If you keep her worrying, it won’t be good for her health, right?”
Kathleen nodded and looked at Samuel. “Come stay with me there for some time. It won’t be too long.”
“Okay. I’ll listen to you.”
Kathleen gave him a smile in return.
They soon arrived at the Lester residence.
Kathleen immediately brought Samuel to meet Betty, who couldn’t stop smiling after hearing that she was back.
No matter what, it was best for Kathleen to stay by her side.
“Old Mrs. Lester,” called out Kathleen with a gentle smile. “Samuel and I will be disturbing you for a few days.”
“What do you mean you’ll be disturbing me? As long as you’re happy here, you can stay as long as you please,” Betty said as she looked at Kathleen with doting eyes.
On the contrary, there was a hint of aloofness in her eyes when she turned to Samuel.
Since she thought he didn’t deserve Kathleen, naturally, she didn’t like him.
Samuel knew that Betty didn’t favor him.
However, he was neither worried nor bothered.
As long as Kathleen liked him, it was enough.
After checking on Betty and making sure that she was fine, Kathleen left the room.
“I’ll take you to the room so you can rest,” she said while she supported Samuel, who nodded quietly.
As a matter of fact, it was recommended that he stayed in bed to recover, but she had no choice because he didn’t want to.
Right when they were about to go upstairs, they ran into Yusef.
“Mr. Lester,” Kathleen greeted.
With a faint smile, Yusef told her, “Just call me Uncle Yusef. There are too many Lesters in this house, and it might get confusing.”
“Uncle Yusef.”
Yusef was delighted. He looked at Samuel and asked, “You’re Samuel?”
“Yes. It’s nice to meet you, Mr. Yusef.”
Yusef’s eyes had an unfathomable look when he smiled at Samuel. “You’re being too polite, Mr. Macari. My house is quite spacious, so enjoy your stay.”
Pursing his lips, Samuel responded, “All right.”
“Well, I shall get back to work now,” Yusef prompted.
Kathleen then bade him goodbye. “See you around, Mr. Yusef.”
With that, Yusef walked away smilingly.
“Let’s go. Let me take you to the room.” Kathleen linked her arm with Samuel’s and headed upstairs.
Meanwhile, he looked at her intently.
There is no way she doesn’t know what’s going on with that smart head of hers. Maybe she just doesn’t want to say it out loud.
Upon entering the room, Samuel knew his guess was correct.
If the Lesters only treated Kathleen as Betty’s doctor, they wouldn’t have been so meticulous in decorating the room and preparing the necessities.
They were basically trying to make things clear.
“Take a rest first. I’ve asked the housekeeper to prepare the medicine. Take it later when she brings it here,” reminded Kathleen.
She thought that she could help Samuel recuperate while she was treating Betty.
Samuel’s biggest issue was his frail body.
He had hurt himself before. As a result, his body was severely damaged. Kathleen wanted to strengthen his health so he wouldn’t have to suffer when he grew old.
“Okay.” Samuel nodded.
Subsequently, he lay down and closed his eyes.
Standing up from the bed, Kathleen closed the windows to let him sleep in peace.
After he fell asleep, she went to work.
Aside from preparing for Betty’s heart surgery, she had to handle the company’s matters.
Soon, it was already afternoon. Samuel had a very long sleep.
He seemed to be exhausted as his brows were tightly knitted together every time Kathleen looked at him.
“Kate, I’m sorry… Don’t leave me…” At one point in time, he started to talk in his sleep again.
To Samuel, Kathleen’s departure was his nightmare.
Even when she was by his side at the moment, he could never feel totally at ease.
Kathleen held his rough hands and uttered, “Wake up, Samuel. I didn’t leave. I’m here.”
Even so, Samuel could not wake up from his nightmare. “Kate, come back… I’ll give you my life. Don’t leave me! Don’t leave me behind…”
Seeing that, Kathleen was very worried.
She couldn’t let things go on like this.
Releasing his hands, she started shaking his shoulders forcefully.
“Samuel, wake up. Open your eyes and look at me. I’m Kathleen. Wake up!”
Despite the strength she used, Samuel still wouldn’t wake up.
Kathleen couldn’t help but frown.
The next second, a crisp slap sounded in the room.
Kathleen had slapped him out of no choice.
It was then that Samuel finally quieted down.
She held his handsome face and repeated, “Samuel, look at me!”
Slowly, he opened his eyes.
“You were having a nightmare,” Kathleen said, heaving a sigh of relief.
He touched his cheek and questioned, “Did you hit me?”
Kathleen was at a loss for words.
Samuel then reached out and caressed her face. “It hurts quite badly.”
Embarrassed, she argued, “What else could I do? You just wouldn’t wake up. Did you have a nightmare?”
Samuel pursed his lips in silence. He wasn’t sure how to answer her question.
His dreams always started out nicely. Then, they would turn sad and sorrowful.
In those dreams, he more or less learned of the things he had done.
Because of that, he was aware of almost everything that happened even though he had lost his memories.
However, he didn’t tell anyone about it.
