Chapter 442

Definitely Still Alive

He’s certainly still alive!

Kathleen tried her best to force herself to calm down and stop overthinking.

Samuel won’t die.

“Are there surveillance cameras around?” she asked.

“No.” Tyson shook his head.

The light in her eyes dimmed when she heard the answer.

“Send more people to search around. Check if there are any witnesses.”

“Yes.” Tyson immediately went off to carry out the order.

Just then, Yadiel came over and said, “Dr. Johnson, I’ll ask the local influential figures for more
information.”

“Go ahead.” Kathleen nodded.

“Ask them to check nearby hospitals as well.”

“Okay.” He nodded.

Kathleen’s brows furrowed again as she stared at the blood on the ground, hoping it wasn’t Samuel’s.



Otherwise…




As a result, she stayed in Smealand for a week.She had sent numerous people to search for Samuel
but to no avail.

An entire week had passed, but there was still no sign of the man.

She could not help but panic.

Tyson and Yadiel were worried sick as well.

“Mrs. Macari.” The worry on Tyson’s face hadn’t faded since a week ago. “It’s been a week.”

With a solemn expression on her face, Kathleen stated, “Even if it’s a month, a year, or even a decade,
I will continue to look for him. Dead or alive, I must find him. Do you understand?”

“Yes!” Tyson nodded, then turned around and walked off.

When Yadiel came over, his eyes met Tyson’s, and the latter shook his head in dismay.

Yadiel looked at Kathleen, his gaze darkening.

“Dr. Johnson, we need to go back.”

Kathleen side-eyed him.

“No, I won’t.”

“But it’s a mess now in Jadeborough. Word about Mr. Macari’s disappearance has spread. Now, Macari
Group is in an unstable situation.”

“I’ll give Samuel’s father a call and ask him to take care of the company for now. It’ll be fine.”



Yadiel originally wanted to convince her to go back, but he realized she didn’t even have the intention
to return.

Before this, he had always thought Kathleen did not have strong feelings for Samuel and surmised that
she got together with Samuel only because Samuel was the father of her two children.

However, judging from her reaction now, it seemed like that was not the case.

Beneath her cold countenance was her fiery love for Samuel.

“All right, then.” Yadiel did not continue to insist.

Turning around, Kathleen fished out her phone and phoned Calvin.

“Mr. Macari, it’s me, Kathleen.” It was a real struggle for her to speak to Calvin at that moment.

“Kate, you don’t need to worry about the company. I can handle it,” he replied in a somber tone.

“They can’t do anything for now. Don’t worry.”

“Mr. Macari, I’m sorry,” Kathleen apologized sincerely.

“You all hadn’t been in contact with me ever since Samuel’s disappearance. I know it’s because you
and the family don’t want to disturb me.”

“Kate, Samuel hasn’t been found, am I right?” There was a hint of desolation in Calvin’s voice.

“Yes.” She nodded.

“But I haven’t found his body either. Mr. Macari, think about it. If they wanted him dead, they’d
definitely spread the news about his death.”



“I thought so too. Samuel is definitely still alive.”

Not only did Kathleen feel that Samuel was alive, but she also had a feeling that the person who
abducted him aimed to get her.

“Mr. Macari, I might need to stay here for some time, so I’ll have to entrust the matters in Jadeborough
to you,” she said in a low voice.

“All right.” Calvin nodded.

After that, Kathleen ended the call.

When Yadiel heard what Kathleen said, he knew she wouldn’t be returning in a short while, but there
were many things in Jadeborough waiting for her to deal with.

That day, Samuel finally woke up on an island in the Pillere Ocean.

When Ashley saw his eyes open, she was thrilled. She stood by the bed and said gently, “You’re
awake.”

“Where is this place?” he asked in a hoarse voice as he knitted his brows in confusion.

“We’re on an island,” she explained. “Do you still remember? I was the one who saved you.”

Looking at her, Samuel noticed her left arm was wrapped in bandages.

“Who are you?” he asked placidly.

Ashley was dumbstruck for a moment before answering, “I’m Ashley Zeller.”

He could not help but frown, for he could not remember that name at all.



Noticing his bewilderment, she became agitated. “Did you lose your memory?”

He glanced back at her with his bleak eyes. “Yes, I don’t remember who I am.”

Besides, his head hurt immensely.

Meanwhile, Ashley’s heart was pounding with excitement.

This is a blessing in disguise! Samuel suffering from amnesia means that he’ll never get to remember
who Kathleen is.

“You’re Samuel Macari,” she stated. “You were kidnapped when you were about five to six years old.
Coincidentally, I was abducted as well, and we were locked up in the same place. We heard the
kidnappers were going to kill us right after they received the ransom, so we decided to run for our
lives.”

Aloofness was written all over Samuel’s handsome face as he listened to her.

“But when we were trying to escape from there, those kidnappers discovered us. I covered your back
so that you could escape first. Then, I was shot in the chest.” She tugged at the collar of her shirt,
showing him the scar. “Look. This is the proof.”

Unfazed, Samuel glanced at it. “Then, what happened after that?”

Ashley was not sure if he believed her words or not. Nevertheless, she went on, “After that, I was
dragged out of that place. They thought I was dead, so they brought me to where we were held captive
and left. Then, my dad came and saved me.”

“Thank you,” he uttered expressionlessly.



“Samuel, you promised you’d marry me.” She blushed in shyness. “Although you’ve forgotten about it, I
still want to remind you that I’ve always been waiting for you to deliver your promise.”

“Am I unwed?”

“You were married, but you got a divorce,” she elucidated.

“You and your ex-wife are incompatible. Besides, she had two romantic interests previously, and she
was even engaged to one of them.”

Ashley did not want to keep this from Samuel. Once they were on their way back, Samuel would
definitely investigate his past.

Besides, what she had said was true.

Samuel remained calm. “Contact my family. I want to go home.”

“Samuel, don’t rush.” Ashley pointed at his leg. “Your legs are not healed up yet. There’s an excellent
doctor here. It would be best if you let her treat your legs. I’ll help you to contact your family.”

“Mm.” He nodded.

Ashley secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

I’ll contact the Macaris some other day. After all, I want to get closer to him by spending more time with
him. Perhaps, I can make him like me more. Now that he’s lost his memory, this is the perfect chance. I
must win this man’s heart!

Soon, three months had passed, and Kathleen still did not have news about Samuel.

In those three months, she had lost a significant amount of weight.



Yadiel persuaded, “Dr. Johnson, it’s time for us to go back. Trevor’s already taken action in
Jadeborough. While you and Mr. Macari were away, he has been expanding his territory at an
exponential rate.”

Kathleen’s expression turned ice-cold. “Does he have a death wish?”

“He’s not the only one. Ever since Mr. Macari disappeared, many people have been eager to take down
the company.” Yadiel’s gaze darkened.

“Someone tried to poach the members of Mr. Macari’s renewable energy development team.”
