Samuel nodded. This is unbelievable. Seriously, what a f*cking cruel twist of fate! Kathleen, whoplayed the part of a gentle princess most of the time, cursed internally. Is God playing tricks on me?“I’m not going to donate to her.” Kathleen bit her lip. “I will never donate my bone marrow to awoman who destroyed my family and stole my husband away.” Truth was, those actually didn’tmatter that much. What mattered was that she was pregnant with a child, so she couldn’t donateher bone marrow. However, she couldn’t tell Samuel about that. If he found out, he would force herto get rid of the baby. “I’ll do anything you want as long as you agree to be her donor,” Samueloffered generously. “Even if it means not getting a divorce?” Kathleen muttered with her headlowered. She didn’t want him to notice the sorrow in her gaze. Samuel fell silent. Looks like he can’tlet Nicolette go. Even if he agrees to my request, that’s only because he wants to save Nicolette’slife. He’s willing to sacrifice his marriage and happiness for her. What an admirable show of love.“You shouldn’t get too greedy, Kathleen,” Samuel said. “Even if I did it to save Nicolette’s life, youshould know that I don’t love you.” Kathleen’s face paled. Those words were like a dagger stabbingthrough her heart. It was as if fresh blood was pooling out, and it hurt like never before. “And what ifI insist on keeping this dead love alive?” Kathleen slowly lifted her gaze and revealed her sparklingeyes. “You won’t get anything from it, then. It doesn’t matter what aspect you’re talking about.” “It’sthe first time I’ve found you so disgusting, Samuel.” Kathleen put down the spoon in her hand. “Yousaid I’m greedy, but aren’t you the same? You want to divorce me so that you can be with Nicolette.Fine, I agreed to that. But don’t you think you’re being too brutal to ask me to save her lifenow?” Does he even know how much I love him? How can he be so cruel to torture me likethis? “You can’t have the best of both worlds, Samuel. It’s just like me and you.” She had loved himfor ten years, but that love had only turned into a source of pain to her. “You’re absolutelyavaricious.” Samuel stood up to leave. Kathleen gave a self-deprecating chuckle and muttered toherself, “That’s right. I’m avaricious. I want everything—I want you, and I want your heart.” She losther appetite then. There was no way she could take another bite. After getting out of the restaurant,she went to the Macari residence. Diana had had a stroke a while ago, and her condition had only

improved recently. When Kathleen saw the kind old woman, she couldn’t bring herself to tell herabout the divorce. “Grandma,” she greeted before taking a seat beside the bed. “Katie, you’re here.”Diana was all smiles at the sight of Kathleen. Out of everyone in the Macari family, she was the onewho liked Kathleen the most. It wasn’t just Kathleen’s parents who had saved her life, but alsoKathleen herself. Back when Diana had an abrupt stroke attack, Kathleen was the one who hadstayed calm and saved her. Even the doctor had said that if Kathleen hadn’t acted fast, Diana wouldhave already lost her life. However, only Diana, Kathleen, and the doctor knew about it. Everyoneelse was kept in the dark. Diana took Kathleen’s hand in hers with a sigh. “I never knew that youwere well-versed in so many things.” Kathleen felt embarrassed. “That’s what my family specializesin, Grandma. Even though my parents practiced modern medicine, my granddad was a practitionerof traditional medicine. I only learned a few basics from him. I didn’t think that they would be of anypractical use.” “Relax. I’m not questioning you,” Diana reassured. Her heart ached as shecontinued, “I just feel that your marriage with Samuel is holding you back. Otherwise, with yourtalent, you can go as far as you want.” Kathleen’s eyes began to water. She knew that Diana wasthe one who understood her most in the entire Macari family. “You wouldn’t have made so manysacrifices if not for the fact that you loved Samuel so much.” Diana sighed. “It’s unfortunate that he’san ignorant child. He knows nothing.” “Don’t tell him about it, Grandma. I don’t want to burden him,”Kathleen begged. “Okay, I won’t tell him,” Diana promised. “You and Samuel have been married forthree years now, Katie. Why isn’t there any news yet?” Kathleen’s cheeks flushed red. “Grandma, I—” “Don’t listen to him. Are you really not going to have a child just because he says so?” Diana cuther off. “You should hurry up and have a kid and tie him down so that even if Nicolette comes back,she won’t be a match for you.” Kathleen was dumbfounded. Nicolette had already come back. Evenif they had a child, she still wouldn’t be a match for Nicolette. Samuel was much more ruthless thanthey thought, and he was completely devoid of emotion. Kathleen took Diana’s pulse and flashed asmile. “You’ve gotten a lot better, Grandma.” “That’s good. I’d like to live a few more years so I cansee you have a baby, Katie.” Diana smiled amiably and expectantly. “Of course.” Kathleen chattedwith Diana for a bit longer, then got up to take her leave. Right when she stepped out of Diana’s

room, she bumped into Wynnie Staines, Samuel’s mother. “Mom,” Kathleen greeted respectfully.Wynnie was different from most mothers-in-law. She wasn’t the picky kind, nor was she incrediblywelcoming. Instead, she was standoffish and cold. Even so, she had never insulted Kathleen in anyway, nor had she looked down on her. Kathleen felt that it was a good thing. That was why she heldWynnie in high regard. “Mm.” Wynnie was a sophisticated woman in her forties. She was wearing aprofessional suit with high heels and was still working hard as a lawyer. “I’m here to see Grandma,”Kathleen said. She looked as adorable as a little rabbit. Wynnie, in fact, liked her a lot. She justwasn’t accustomed to expressing herself that much. That was one thing she had in common withSamuel. The only difference was that Wynnie liked Kathleen and cared for her a lot. To her,Kathleen was a delicate young girl who was as pure as snow. “I brought some crabs home. Let’shave dinner together,” Wynnie said. One of her clients had given them to her. She didn’t want toaccept them at first, but she had done so because she knew that Kathleen liked them. She hadeven wanted to call Samuel and get him to bring Kathleen over for dinner. But surprisingly, Kathleenwas already there. It was true that Kathleen really enjoyed eating crabs. In the past, she could eatfive all on her own. On top of that, Samuel would help her with the shells. When she thought aboutit, she realized that they had shared quite a few intimate moments. The only thing was that therewas no love in them. Even though she liked crabs very much, she felt absolutely disgusted whenshe thought of the taste right then. She immediately turned and dashed into the bathroom beforevomiting into the sink. Wynnie came in and watched as Kathleen washed her mouth with somewater from the door. Kathleen wiped her hands with a towel and said, “My stomach hasn’t beenfeeling well lately, Mom.” Wynnie’s eyes darkened. “Did you go for a checkup?” “I did. The doctortold me to get enough rest.” Kathleen pursed her lips. Wynnie hesitated for a moment and asked,“Nicolette’s back. Do you know that?”
