All Too Late

Chapter 280 Old Man

for now. I’ll go search for the medication.” “Okay.” He nodded and lay down on the bed while she looked for the medication In the end, Kathleen found a first-aid kit under the television cabinet in the living room. There were all kinds of medications inside. Creak! Creak! She heard the sound of the door swinging coming from the basement. Did Samuel not lock the door properly? She hurried toward the basement The scene that entered her vision shocked her because Nicolette was missing. Did someone sneak into the castle? Sh*t! Samuel! Kathleen dashed upstairs at once. She saw a woman forcing Samuel’s mouth open and stuffing a pill inside. Samuel had lost consciousness because of the fever. Otherwise, he would not have allowed the woman to do as she pleased. “Who are you?” Kathleen stepped forward to stop her, but she was too late. The masked woman let out a derisive chuckle before striding hastily toward the window and jumping out Thump! She jumped into the sea. D’mn it! It seems like someone knows we are on the island, and they ve been hiding nearby waiting for an opportunity to ambush us when we let our guard down. But why did they capture Nicolette? If we fail to locate her, or her body is discovered after she is killed. Samuel will undoubtedly shoulder the blame. Even if there is no evidence others will assume he’s the culprit. What a troublesome mess. Who’s that woman anyway, and what did she feed Samuel? Kathleen returned to Samuel’s side and checked his pulse. However, she did not find out anything unusual happening in his body. That’s weird. Are my medical skills failing? What could that pill be if it is not poison? Never mind. I’ll deal with this later.

She had noticed a few guns when she was looking for the medication earlier. She took two guns with her and searched the entire castle, ensuring no one else was in there before leaving Kathleen then drove around the island for traces

“Samuel, what are you doing?” Kathleen was livid He leaned down and pressed his hot chest against her cold back. “It’s me.” “Why is it you again?” She was infuriated. “That pill.” Samuel’s voice turned a few notches deeper. “I’ve taken that pill before.” What? “What do you mean?” Kathleen recollected herself. “The first time I woke up, I sensed that similar taste in my mouth. The flavor was sweet with a hint of alcoholic smell,” he replied. She pursed her lips. “Let go of me first.” “Don’t worry. I will not harm you.” Samuel paused briefly before continuing. “Your journey out of the castle alone made me doubt your self-protecting awareness. Therefore, you will rest well in the room from now on while I am going to deal with those people.” “What’s there to deal with?” Kathleen was mad. “Hurry up and go back. The matter has nothing to do with you.” Samuel did not move. Instead, he smirked. “It is so easy to take advantage of you in this posture. Damn it! “I dare you, Samuel! I’ll hate
