Divorce Anxiety novel Chapter 269

Chapter 269

Kathleen understood immediately. “I get it. You’re saying that only a woman could take care of a child well. Besides, if he asked Isaac for help, Isaac would have to look for a nanny, too. That way, there would be one more person aware of the matter, making it riskier. Am I right?”

Samuel nodded.

“But a woman, huh?” Kathleen frowned. “I wonder who could it be?”

Seeing how she was thinking hard with furrowed brows, Samuel felt a bit sad.

If she asked him for help, he would be glad to offer it.

However, she never turned to him and resorted to doing everything on her own.

“I can look into it for you if you’d like ” Samuel offered calmly.

Kathleen was taken aback. “I’ve already asked too much

“Just think of it as me paying you back for the treatment. Since you refused the company’s shares, this is the only way I could think of to not owe you a favor” Samuel said indifferently.

Kathleen paused for a moment before agreeing.

Since he doesn’t want to owe me one, I’ll just accept his help.

“Give me three days.” He then added coldly. “You may get off the car now.”

Feeling speechless, Kathleen got off the car without a word.

As Samuel stared at her departing figure, he felt heartbroken. But more than that, he felt irritated, which was very unlike him.

When he saw Caleb coming out of the mansion to bring Kathleen in, he scoffed.

Caleb will never have Kathleen!

While walking into the mansion, Kathleen looked at Caleb and inquired, “Did you have a good rest?”

“I had a good sleep, thanks to you,” Caleb said with a smick.

“That’s good to hear. I’ll ask the chef to prepare some food. What time are your parents arriving?”

“Around midnight. After a short pause, Caleb added, “You should come with me. My dad and I won’t be able to coax my mom.’

Kathleen gave it a thought and replied, “All right.”

The woman was also Vivian’s mother, so it was only right that Kathleen should help.

Caleb knew that Kathleen had a soft heart.

In fact, he thought that it was too easy to trick her.

Meanwhile, Charles watched them in silence.

He noticed Kathleen didn’t look at Caleb the same way she looked at Samuel.

Al three in the morning, Kathleen arrived at the airport with Caleb

They didn’t wait long before Caleb’s parents appeared at the exit

The couple had rushed over without bringing anything with them.

“Dad, Mom.” Caleb strode over to them, and Kathleen followed suit.

Caleb’s mother, Linda Jones, grasped his arms desperately. “Caleb, is your sister… is she really dead?”

Caleb nodded with a pained expression.

“My daughter!” Linda almost fainted at the tragic news.

Thankfully, Caleb’s father, George Lewis, held her in time.

Kathleen also stepped forward to massage Linda’s head to make her feel better.

It was only after a while that Linda managed to pull herself together.

“Let’s get in the car first” Kathleen suggested.

Caleb nodded. Together with his father, they supported Linda and walked out of the airport.

“You should ride with your parents. I’ll take the next car,” Kathleen told Caleb.

“Okay.”

Kathleen was very sensible. Without saying anything further, she got in the car behind them.

“Dad, Mom. Let’s get in.” Caleb opened the car door.

In the car, the couple asked him the details of Vivian’s death.

Linda wept sorrowfully, while tears could be seen pooling in George’s eyes.

When they arrived at the Lewis residence, Linda started sobbing the moment she saw Vivian’s photo.

No one could manage to calm her down.

In the end, Kathleen struck the side of her neck to render her unconscious.

Seeing that, George looked at her in bewilderment.

Kathleen was a bit embarrassed. “Mrs. Lewis, it’s not his problem. The problem lies with me.”

Linda stared at her. “You’re still in love with Samuel?”

Kathleen shook her head.

“It’s okay. Feelings can be nurtured, you know?” Indeed, Linda was broad-minded.

Just then, Caleb pushed the door open.

“Mom, you’re awake. Kate is a terrific doctor. So feel free to consult her if you don’t feel well.”

As he spoke, he winked at Linda.

The woman instantly got what her son was hinting at.

So Caleb does like this young woman!

“Ms. Johnson, I do have a feeble body. I don’t like modern medicine elther. Could I ask you to treat me?” Linda prompted,

Kathleen nodded. “Sure. No problem.”

“Mom, just call her Kate. I call her that, too, Caleb chimed in.

“I should at least ask Ms. Johnson first if she would be okay with that.“ As she said that, Linda looked at Kathleen.

“It’s fine. It’s just a name, anyway,” Kathleen responded.

Hearing that, Linda smiled. “I’ll call you Kate from now on, then.”

“All right.” Kathleen smiled back.

At that moment, her phone rang.

After she picked it up, Tyson’s panicked voice came from the other end of the line. “Ms. Johnson, bad news! Mr. Macari has fainted.”

“What?” Kathleen stood up. “Samuel fainted? Did you send him to the hospital?”

“We’re on the way. He keeps calling out your name. Could you come here, Ms. Johnson?” Tyson sounded very anxious.

“Okay. I’ll head over right now.” With that, Kathleen turned to leave.

Caleb followed her and asked, “You’re leaving?”

“Samuel fainted. He’s being brought to the hospital right now,” Kathleen said worriedly.

“But he was fine when he left,” Caleb hinted.
