Divorce Anxiety (Kathleen and Samuel)

Chapter 122

Samuel knew how painful it was to miss somebody.

It turns out that even thinking of someone hurts all over.

His stomach twisted. It was the kind of pain that would spread to every limb before having them smashed by boulders.

Despite the pain, he found that he couldn’t stop thinking about her.

Kathleen fell silent.

Samuel’s gaze deepened. “Say something.”

“I have nothing to say to you,” she bluntly said as she lay down. “I’m going to take a nap. Please carry on with your work.”

Samuel studied Kathleen thoughtfully, trying to decide if she would be heartbroken or disgusted if he told her he had missed her.

Judging by her expression, probably the latter.

Meanwhile, Kathleen felt awful.

Samuel hasn’t changed. Why would he tell me this after a year? Does he think that I’m foolish enough to change my mind just because he said that? I’m no longer that girl who loved him wholeheartedly in the stupidity of my youth. Not anymore. Why didn’t he treasure me when I did? Leaving him was the right choice.

Samuel looked sideways at Kathleen, who had her back to him. She seemed to be asleep.

He didn’t bother her further. Instead, he turned off the light.

The night suddenly became unbearably long.

Kathleen woke up the following day in a daze.

“Good morning, Katie,” said Diana with a kind voice.

Kathleen was surprised. “Old Mrs. Macari?”

Diana sat on the chair between the two beds as she reached out to stroke Kathleen’s head. “Are you feeling better?”

“I am,” Kathleen murmured demurely, like a small furry animal being caressed.
