Chapter 121

Rolling her eyes at Charles, Kathleen didn’t say anything else as she ate her oatmeal quietly.

Upon seeing that, Charles displayed a satisfied smile.

Samuel fixed his gaze on Kathleen, and his lips curled into a smile.

Charles blocked Samuel’s sight and waited for him with a grin.

Samuel wasn’t bothered with him because he was Kathleen’s elder brother.

He was determined not to do anything to make Kathleen hate him anymore.

“Mr. Macari!” Just then, Tyson came back with a lot of stuff.

Kathleen shifted her gaze toward him.

Tyson was carrying a load of clean clothes, some meals, and a large stack of documents in his hands.

Seeing that scene, Kathleen was rendered speechless.

He’s out of his mind. Even now, he’s still thinking about work.

“Mr. Macari, I’ve brought your stuff for you,” Tyson uttered faintly.

He was worried that no one would take care of Samuel.

“Okay. Thanks,” Samuel responded gently.

At that moment, Tyson’s heart skipped a beat.

Since when did Mr. Macari become so polite? Something must be off!



“Mr. Macari, Sebastian knows that Ms. Johnson is here. Hence, he asked me to prepare another
portion for her,” Tyson added.

“Okay.” Samuel nodded. “I’m not that petty.”

Charles felt like he was mocked.

Putting the stuff down, Tyson carried up a pink bag and smiled. “Ms. Johnson, here’s some stew that
Sebastian asked me to bring for you.”

“Thank you,” Kathleen responded with gratitude.

“I hope you’ll like it.” Tyson put the pink bag down. “There’re some other snacks inside too.”

Upon saying that, he retreated to Samuel’s side and started preparing food for the latter.

Kathleen ate some oatmeal and then stopped.

Right away, Charles took out a small cake. “There are strawberry flavor and yellow peach flavor.”

“Thanks, Charles.” Kathleen smiled meekly like a cat.

Charles smiled in response. I have only one sister. Of course, I’ll pamper her.

Samuel took a glance at them. As a matter of fact, he never knew that Kathleen liked to eat those stuff.

Charles took care of her for a while, and soon the visit time came to an end.

Charles had no choice but to leave.

Tyson had to leave as well.



Furrowing his brows, Charles stared at Kathleen with concern while whispering, “If this man does
anything to you at night, just scream. If you have no choice, you can smash him with stuff as well.”

Kathleen blinked her eyes. “Charles, that won’t be necessary.”

After all, Samuel is a prideful man. He won’t try to conquer a woman with such methods.

“You have no idea at all.” Charles stared at her with a complicated look. “Anyway, just remember what I
said. I’ve set up an emergency contact on your phone. If you encounter anything, just press on it, and
the information will be sent to my phone. Then, I will come over immediately.”

“All right. I got it.” Kathleen brushed him off.

Charles poked her forehead gently. “I’ll come again first thing tomorrow.”

“Okay.” Kathleen looked at him faintly.

Charles couldn’t comprehend why Kathleen trusted Samuel so much.

In his eyes, Samuel seemed like a man who would do anything to achieve his goal.

Charles could see that the latter was confident about winning Kathleen’s heart.

That was why he was so concerned that Kathleen might fall for him.

At that moment, Kathleen cast a helpless look at Charles. Why does he not trust me at all? Do I look
like I’m still into Samuel like before?

She couldn’t wrap her head around what made Charles so worried.

After Charles and Tyson left, the ward fell into an awkward silence.



Kathleen grabbed her glass and drank the water quietly. She looked utterly adorable.

Just then, Samuel uttered faintly, “I might go to sleep late, so I need to keep the bed light on. Would
you mind that?”

Kathleen shook her head. “It’s fine. I’m not sleepy either. I want to read through some scripts.”

“Okay. Tell me if you mind.” Samuel picked up the documents.

Meanwhile, Kathleen took her tablet and started reading the script.

The script was sent by Remy to her via WhatsApp, and there was only one-third of it.

Kathleen fell in love with the play after only reading the beginning.

It was a play about a female assassin.

The female assassin was an orphan, and she was adopted by her master, who honed her into a first-
class murderous and ruthless assassin.

He even named her Assassin.

Until one time, she lost her memory on a mission and met a scholar.

The scholar changed her name to Foxy, as her eyes were as charming as a fox.

The two fell in love secretly, and the female assassin was gradually regaining her memory.

One day, the master of the female assassin appeared and exposed the scholar’s identity.

It turned out the latter was the target whom the female assassin was supposed to kill, whose real
identity was the prince.



The prince used the female assassin to lure her master so that he could capture them in one go.

Only then did the female assassin realize that she was trapped not in the prince’s love but in his
conspiracy.

She told the prince that she was pregnant, hoping the latter could spare her and her master’s life.

Yet, the prince was merciless. He said that as long as she was obedient, she would be a concubine in
the future.

Overwhelmed with disappointment, the female assassin picked up her sword again to rescue her
master and his disciples.

The prince made a move and stopped her. With that, the two were entangled in a battle.

Her master took the opportunity to sneak up on the prince. She rushed to the front of the prince, and
the blade pierced through her.

The prince was left in awe.

Seeing that the assassination failed, her master immediately fled with the people.

Hugging the female assassin in his embrace, the prince eventually cried.

The female assassin asked him if he had ever loved her without any scheme.

The prince nodded.

As such, the female assassin died in the prince’s embrace without any regret.

After Kathleen finished reading the outline of the story, tears welled up in her eyes.



A ruthless killing machine finally had some feelings. Even if it were just a little bit, she would hold onto it
tightly like a light in the darkness.

Unfortunately, light couldn’t be grabbed.

Kathleen was once a foolish girl who tried to chase the light. In the end, she discovered that the light
wasn’t shining on her but on someone else.

“Why are you crying?” Just then, someone passed her a tissue.

Stunned momentarily, Kathleen cast a side glance at Samuel. “The play is too touching.”

Taking the tissue, she wiped her tears off her face.

Samuel smiled slightly. “As long as you like it.”

“I like it very much,” Kathleen uttered.

Samuel’s gaze seemed extremely gentle. “Your eyes will ache if you cry again.”

“It’s none of your business.” Kathleen put her hand down.

Samuel paused for a while. “Did you hate me?”

Kathleen was dumbstruck by his question.

“Did you hate me in these past three years?” Samuel asked again.

Kathleen grabbed the blanket. “I did, but not anymore. It’s over now.”

“Then why didn’t you seek revenge on me?” Samuel asked in a low voice. “You said that I was also the
executioner.”



“I know myself well enough,” Kathleen answered truthfully. “I won’t be able to beat you. Anyway, you
have been eliminated from my life. That’s enough.”

Since I can’t defeat him, I might as well avoid him.

“If you have the chance, how would you revenge me?” Samuel showed utter curiosity.

Kathleen hesitated for a while. “Do we really need to have such a heavy conversation?”

Samuel uttered indifferently, “If I talk about other things, will you chat with me then?”

“Why don’t we just stop talking then?” Kathleen was left speechless.

“But I want to talk with you.” Samuel stared at the ceiling. “I want to hear your voice. I miss you so
much this whole year after you left.”
