Chapter 372 Treat You Horribly Kathleen returned to her room and sat onthe bed. She arrived an hour

ago and discussed the matter with Frances. Luckily, the old woman listened to anything she said. She

decided to let Frances move in with her, as there was no way she was letting the old woman be

trapped in a dangerous situation. Moreover, Yoeger Group would soon be divided. The Yoegers could

deal with their assets however they wanted, but Kathleen was adamant about helping Frances regain

everything that was rightfully hers.I will not let them have Granny's assets! Hector's actions alone

proved that the Yoegers never valued Frances' contributions to the family. All Kathleen wanted was for

Frances to live her sunset years in peace. As for her children, she didn't have to worry, as she could

ask Samuel to stay and look after them for one night. She lay in bed and received a text from Samuel

that read: How's it going on your side? Kathleen replied: Everything's going well.

Are the kids asleep? He responded: Yeah, they're asleep. She texted: Good. He replied: You should

rest early, too.

She typed: Okay.

Justas she put her phone down and prepared to sleep, Samuel sent her another text message: I've

turned down the marriage with Yareli. She texted back: I was wrong. I shouldn't have forced you. You're

right; marriage isn't child's play. It's not a tool that can be used. He replied: It's good that you

understand. Kathleen frowned in confusion. What does he mean? He sent another text message: You

treated marriage as a joke five years ago. So why did you marry Caleb when you didn't love him? She

replied sheepishly: I've lost my memory. I can't give you an answer even if I want to. He texted back: I

like how memory loss is your excuse for everything. She pursed her lips. He's kind of humorous

sometimes. Moments later, he texted: Go to sleep. She rolled her eyes and replied: I was about to

sleep. You were the one talking to me! A smile spread across his face as he could almost sense her

irritation through the words on the screen. He was able to picture her angry expression as he texted:

Did I complain when you summoned me back to look after the kids?She furrowed her brows and

replied: I won't need you anymore after I return tomorrow. He responded: Wow. Is this an act of

discarding me after you're done using me? Kathleen was speechless. Why does he make it sound like

it's my fault? Hence, she texted: Fine. I won't ask you for help in the future anymore, okay? She

wouldn't have asked him for help if Charles wasn't busy. Samuel's thin lips curled into a smile as he

texted back: Can't you tell I'm joking? I just don't want our relationship to be too awkward. Before she

put her phone down and went to sleep, she merely replied: Good night! While wearing a gloomy

expression, he responded: Good night. Things would never return to the way it was, huh? The next

morning, Kathleen woke up and checked the time on her phone. It was only six o'clock in the morning,

but she found herself wide awake. Thus, she got up and went downstairs to check on Frances. After

knocking on the door, she entered and saw Frances still asleep. She walked over, intending to leave

after taking a look. That was when she caught sight of a bottle of sleeping pills and a letter on the old

woman's bedside table. Her whole body stiffened. “Granny!” she exclaimed as she placed her finger

beneath Frances' nose to feel her breathing. When she didn't feel anything, her mind began buzzing.

“Granny! Help! Someone!” she shrieked frantically. One of the maids rushed in. “What's wrong?” “Go

get the car ready! Hurry!” Kathleen screamed hysterically. At a single glance, the maid could tell that

something had happened to Frances. Without asking anything else, she immediately went to carry out

Kathleen's order. Kathleen held Frances in her arms and bawled in despair. Why did this happen? Why

did Granny end her own life? Soon after, the maid returned and informed Kathleen, “Ms. Johnson, the

car is ready.” “Help me!” Kathleen stuffed the letter into her pocket as the maid walked over and helped

her carry Frances into the car.She sped all the way to the hospital, but it was too late. Frances had

already passed away. She had already stopped breathing when they reached the hospital. When the

doctor announced Frances' death, Kathleen sat motionlessly on the chair in a state of complete shock.

Samuel was the first to arrive. When he saw Kathleen's dejected look, he approached and embraced

her. “Kate?” Kathleen threw herself into his arms and hugged his neck, bawling like a baby. He hugged

her tight and allowed her to vent her emotions. Charles came next, and then there was Wynnie and

Calvin. Initially, Diana wanted to come as well, but they didn't let her, for fear that she wouldn't be able

to handle the sorrow of losing her friend. The way Kathleen was weeping in misery broke everyone's

hearts. Charles looked at Samuel and said, “Why don't you bring her back first?” Wynnie walked over.

“I've asked someone to send the kids back home.” “All right.” Samuel nodded and looked down at

Kathleen, who was in his arms. “I'll bring you back first, okay?” “No. I want to stay.” Kathleen shook her

head, her soft and fair hands clutching the man's collar. She sobbed piteously, her eyes and nose red

from all the crying. Samuel's heart ached as he looked at her tear-stricken face. “All right then.” He then

shook his head at Charles, indicating they should allow her to stay. When Frances was pushed out of

the operating room, her head was covered with a white sheet. Kathleen approached, wanting to take a

look. The doctor knew what she wanted and allowed her to take one last look at her grandmother. As

she lifted the white sheet and looked at the old woman's peaceful expression, tears streamed down her This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

cheeks. “Granny... It's all my fault. I should've let you know that I'm your granddaughter sooner. Why

did you do this?” Kathleen's voice turned hoarse. Everything was fine just one day ago. She couldn't

fathom why something like this happened. As she sobbed, Samuel held her arm and supported her. All

of a sudden, her heart clenched, and she blacked out. “Kate!” Samuel caught her in time. The doctor

shouted, “Quick, send her to a ward!” Samuel carried her and sent her into one of the wards for the

doctor to do a checkup on her. “She passed out due to extreme grief. Let her rest, and make sure she

doesn't have any more emotional fluctuations,” said the doctor. Samuel nodded. “All right.” After the

doctor left, Samuel pulled the covers for Kathleen. As he took her hand and looked at her delicate but

pale face, his soulful eyes were filled with heartache. Kathleen woke up in the evening. She didn't know

how long she had been unconscious, but she felt lethargic. “You're awake?” Samuel's deep voice

sounded. She looked over at him. “How long have I been asleep?” “You've been asleep for the whole

day,” he answered. “My granny...” She frowned. He placed his hand on her shoulder. “Don't worry.

Charles and my parents are handling everything.” She pursed her lips. “Thank them for me.” “I will.” His

voice sounded slightly raspy. “Where are my shoes? I want to go home.” She gazed at him. “I'll help

you.” He took her shoes and wanted to help her put them on. “It's okay. I'll do it myself.” She furrowed

her brows.His big hands enveloped her feet. “Let me help you.” Subsequently, he helped her put on her

shoes in a gentle manner. All of a sudden, he realized something. “Kate, back then, I thought I treated

you nice enough. But now, as I helped you put on your shoes, I realized that I had treated you horribly,”

he uttered gruffly.
