Chapter 271

Kathleen woke up in the middle of the night, and the first thing she noticed was Samuel sleeping beside her.

Why are we sleeping on the same bed again? Didn't I ask Tyson not to tell Samuel? He's useless!

Just as that thought flashed across her mind, she noticed something was off.

There were a lot of star-shaped lamps hung in the room, emitting a warm yellow glow, providing her a sense of relaxation.

The lights illuminated the room, acting as nightlights that chased the darkness away.

Did Samuel prepare all these because he knows I'm afraid of the dark?

As that thought came to mind, her heart skipped a beat.

Samuel claimed he would draw a line between the two of them, but in truth, he still couldn't persuade himself to pull away

Since he couldn't, Kathleen decided that she would.

Hence, she got off the bed cautiously and prepared to head outside after grabbing her coat.

She opened the door and was surprised to see the whole floor being decorated with star-shaped lamps.

"Are you leaving?" Samuel's deep voice sounded behind her, causing her to freeze on the spot.

He’s awake?

"Yeah. You should stay here and get plenty of rest,” she said without looking at him.

With that, she was about to march away when Samuel grabbed her wrist from behind, pulling her back.

She was already quite weak, so she fell into his arms right away.

He held her and asked hoarsely. "Why are you pushing yourself? You're clearly not fine."

She frowned. "Samuel, please let me go." "Unless you promise me that you'll recuperate in the ward for half a month, I won't let you go,” he said coldly.

She glowered at him and replied, "I'm fine. I'm feeling okay." "Kathleen, don't push me into doing something to myself. I know I can't do anything to you, but I can easily end myself," threatened Samuel in a glacial tone.
