All Too Late

Chapter 388 Going On A Date

Samuel thought he was hallucinating when he heard Kathleen’s voice.

It was only when he saw her hand that he eventually realized she was real.

He took the glass of water and swallowed the medicine. Under the light, his handsome face looked pale yet frail.

Kathleen looked at him impassively. “Is there a need to torture yourself like this?”

Samuel shot her a sideways glance. His gaze darkened as he said, “I’m really in pain.”

“You had been injured and had fallen sick so many times before. Don’t you know what’s drug resistance?” Kathleen frowned. “Isn’t what you’re doing now considered torturing yourself?”

Samuel stared at how furious she looked and swallowed hard. “You didn’t leave?”

“Who’s going to take care of you if I leave?” asked Kathleen, puzzled.

Her reply made Samuel’s mind go blank for a second. In a deep, hoarse voice, he asked, “Did you stay to take care of me?”

Hearing that, Kathleen chuckled. “If not, did you think I stayed to watch you torture yourself?”

Samuel pursed his lips.

“By the way, don’t take your medicine before your meal. It’s going to hurt your stomach.” Kathleen gave him an indifferent look.

Samuel paused for a while before he replied, “I’m not hungry.”

Kathleen rose to her feet and switched on the light.

She stood next to the bed as she cast her gaze upon that man who looked sick yet charming. “I can’t do anything if you wish to do things that harm yourself. If you don’t need me here, I can leave.”

Samuel fell silent.

Kathleen’s gaze darkened before she turned around.

Right then, Samuel reached out and grabbed her wrist. His deep eyes beamed as he asked, “Is there anything for me to eat?”

“I told the housekeeper to prepare some food. If you want to eat them, I’ll heat them up and bring them to you. Is that okay?” Kathleen asked flatly.

“Sure.” Samuel nodded.

Kathleen stared at his slender hand and said, “Let go of me, then.”

Samuel gradually released his grip.

Then, Kathleen walked out of the room.

The next instant, Samuel swiftly pinched his own thigh hard.

I’m not dreaming! It’s real! Kathleen really stayed to take care of me.

Everything seemed too good to be true, but nonetheless, he was over the moon.

In fact, he did not ask for much. He only wished to hold a place in Kathleen’s heart.
