All Too Late

Chapter 203 Fancied Him

Charles showed her an impatient look. “Me, fancying him? Even if I were a woman, I’d do better than a sc*mb*g like this!”

“On a more serious note,” Kathleen said sternly, “Samuel will be staying here, with nobody to take care of him. If you’re not busy, you should stay home and help out.”

“What?” Charles vehemently disagreed. “We have a housekeeper, so why do you need me?”

“Wasn’t it you who brought up the notion of men and women not being allowed close contact or something?” Kathleen simpered.

Charles was about to retort but was forced to keep quiet.

“If you don’t want to, then you can help me get a week’s leave. I will take care of him myself,” Kathleen said coldly.

“No!” Charles objected.

Kathleen frowned at him.

Charles was very angry. “I will take care of him. You’re not allowed to leave work!”

“Then I’m leaving him in your capable hands.” Kathleen smiled faintly. “Wait, I will write down a schedule for you. With that, you’ll know when to give him his medicine and when he needs a soak.”

Charles was full of anger.

“Charles, you are the best!” Kathleen took his hand.

Charles could then feel his anger dissipate slightly.

“By the way, how is Vivian?” Charles looked at Kathleen, his expression mild.

Kathleen hesitated for a moment. “Both good and bad, I suppose.”

“How can I cure her?” Charles asked with concern. “Tell me, I’ll find a way.”

“Charles, Vivian’s situation is quite complicated.” Kathleen said quietly, “She has suffered from quite a shock.”

“Apart from Finn abandoning her, is there another reason?” Charles asked coldly.

Kathleen hesitated for a moment, then murmured, “Yes.”

Charles snapped, “What is it, then? Answer me!”
