All Too Late

that he wasn’t ITuing around Kahariws caught in a tough spot Trin Pirtthrop downl wont leave. In the ond,

ale nad no choice, as she know the inan wus definitely serious. “Then close your eyes and sleep, he

commanded as he stood by the bed. She looked at him helplessly. “Put the knife down first. I won’t

leave. I swear.”

However, he remained standing there motionlessly as if he was not going to yield until she closed her

eyes and fell asleep. Since she knew his condition was worse than hers, she could only give in. “Okay, I’ll

sleep. You should go and rest too.” When she lay down, he sat by her bed and said. Til watch you fall

asleep.” Kathleen intertwined both her hands and placed them on her abdomen. “Do you know how you

were poisoned? “To investigate it. The man’s voice was devoid of emotions. Kathleen furrowed her brows

slightly. “You must’ve been extra careful with your daily diet after the Yoeger family tried to poison you

last time. The only thing that could make you let your guard down were the medicines prescribed for you,

right?” “How did you know?” he queried. “It was just a guess. How can someone tamper with my

medication? I bet that person has a death wish,” she said, fuming. In a half-joking manner. Samuel said,

“I’m surprised you didn’t suspect it was Caleb who wanted me dead “He won’t try to kill you. I trust him,”

she said solemnly. Caleb wouldn’t do something so immoral. If he were exposed after committing such a

crime, it would be embarrassing Samuel chuckled when he heard that but he was dispirited She trusts

Caleb, huh? Since when are they so close? T’ll ask Caleb tomorrow and have him do some

investigations. You should ask your men to do the same, too.” Kathleen said seriously

The complete silence that ensued made her sit up with a confused frown She looked at Samuel who had

fallen asleep and frowned, “You’re obviously tired out. So why did you push yourself so hard?” she

muttered. Subsequently, she took her coat and draped it over his shoulder before touching his face.

“Don’t come near me anymore. Samuel. I’m serious. You’re putting me in a tough spot,” she said, her

voice husky When Samuel woke up, Kathleen was already gone. As he lay in bed, he lost his temper

and scolded Tyson, “What’s wrong with you? Why did you let her leave?” Tyson stuttered as he tried to

explain himself, “M-Mr. Macari, I didn’t have a choice. She’s Ms. Johnson, after all” Who would dare to

stop her? “Can’t you guys have woken me up?” Samuel glared at his incompetent subordinates. Tyson

murmured sheepishly, “I wanted to, but Ms. Johnson drugged you, so there’s nothing could do. She said

you need to rest and you’ll wake up once the drug wears off.” Samuel didn’t know what to say to that as

he had completely forgotten that Kathleen was capable of doing “Where did she go?” he asked coldly

“She went to the Lewis residence, Tyson replied. “Go and start the car,” ordered Samuel, his face turning

grim.

“Yes, sir.” Without further ado. Tyson went to carry out his order. After Tyson left Samuel looked at the

sky outside while wearing a bleak expression In the Lewis residence Charles looked at Kathleen with his

brows furrowed “Where have you been? And why is your face so pale? T’m fine.” Kathleen hid her hands

in her sleeves and asked, “Where’s Caleb?” “He was just here a moment ago,” answered Charles T’ll go

and look for him.” She turned and walked away while Charles fixed his gaze on her wearing a deep

frown. Why do I smell a strong scent of disinfectants? Kathleen found Caleb, who was talking to the

housekeepers, “Change all the sunflowers to lilies. My sister only likes lilies.” “Yes, sir.” The

housekeepers nodded. Caleb saw Kathleen approaching and dismissed the housekeepers. “Okay you

guys may leave now.” After the housekeepers left, he looked at Kathleen solemnly. “You’re back She

nodded wordlessly, and he asked, “How’s Samuel?” “He’s fine. Caleb, Samuel was poisoned” she said

with a frown “Is that so?” Caleb’s attitude was indifferent. Kathleen elucidated, “Previously, he was

poisoned once, and ever since that incident he had been very cautious with what he consumed.

However, he was still polsoned yesterday He seemed to have comprehended the meaning behind her

words. “What does that have to do with me?

She replied faintly. The medicine he consumed is from a pharmacy under Lewis Enterprises.” Caleb was

displeased. What are you trying to say that I was the culprit? Why didn’t you think he was the one who

was trying to frame me because he’s jealous that the two of us are close?” Kathleen knitted her brows.

Samuel isn’t that despicable.” Upon hearing that Caleb stepped forward and pinched her chin. “So, you

mean I’m despicable? You came here speaking to me in an accusing tone because you’re confident that

poisoned him, right? She pushed his hand away. “I’m just asking you to look into this matter. I didn’t say

you were the culprit. If i thought it was you, I wouldn’t be this calm when speaking with you.” Caleb

stared at her seriously, “Tell me what should I do to erase Samuel’s existence in your heart?” “What are

you talking about? Caleb looked down at her dark eyes. “I’m jealous that you care so much about him.

Ms. Johnson I think need to remind you that I’m pursuing you too.”
