“Why aren’t you driving? Isn’t Nicolette waiting for you?” Kathleen asked coldly. Samuel had wantedKathleen to take the front passenger seat, but he changed his mind when he heard what she saidand started the engine. Neither of them spoke a word on the way home. The atmosphere in the carcrackled with tension. Samuel felt that it was all Kathleen’s fault. If she had behaved like she wasbefore, they would not have argued. Halfway through the journey, Samuel’s phone rang. It wasNicolette again. “What did you say? I’ll go over immediately.” Samuel suddenly stopped the car andturned to Kathleen. “Get down. I’ll ask Tyson to come and take you home.” Kathleen refused tomove. “Get down.” “It’s almost twelve. Are you going to leave a girl here all by herself?” Kathleen’sheart wrenched. “Tyson will be here in five minutes.” Kathleen felt a sickening lurch in her heart. Herface was drained of color. Biting her lip, she got out of the car. “Five minutes. Tyson will be heresoon. Wait here,” Samuel said. Kathleen lowered her head and kept quiet. She had nothing to sayto Samuel anymore. Even if Samuel did not have any feelings for her, he should know that it wasnot safe to leave a girl by the road at this hour. Yet he had chosen to leave her by the road. Samuelglanced at Kathleen. For some reason, he felt awful seeing her head hung low. Just then, his phonerang again. Nicolette needed him now. Without hesitation, Samuel drove away. Tears ran downKathleen’s cheeks, falling to the ground. Five minutes later, Tyson arrived to pick her up. However,there was no one on the road. Where is Mrs. Macari? Tyson tried to call Kathleen. However, no oneanswered the phone. Sensing that something was not right, Tyson quickly gave Samuel a call. “Didyou replace her? Remember to send her home safely. If she’s hungry, ask—” Samuel started talking theminute he picked up Tyson’s call. “Mr. Macari, Mrs. Macari is missing,” Tyson said in a quaveringvoice. “Missing?” Samuel frowned. “Yes. There’s no one on the road. I tried calling Mrs. Macari, butno one answered the phone.” Tyson was starting to feel nervous. “Send some men to look for her.You must replace her no matter what,” Samuel bellowed. What should I do if something happens toher? “Okay.” Tyson hung up the phone and ordered some men to search for Kathleen with him.However, they could not replace her within a ten-kilometer radius. Tyson checked the surveillancecameras and got the shock of his life. Indeed, Kathleen had met with a bad guy. A man who

appeared to be drunk had dragged her into an alley. Tyson’s face turned ashen, and he calledSamuel immediately. Stunned, Samuel said, “I’ll be right there.” He stood up and was about to leavewhen Nicolette tugged at his sleeve. “Samuel, what’s the matter?” “Something happened toKathleen.” “Something happened to Kathleen?” Nicolette pursed her lips. “Is she deliberatelycausing trouble because she doesn’t want to divorce you?” “No.” Samuel was very sure that it wasnot planned by Kathleen. He knew her to be a very simple person. “All right, then. Go quickly andcome back soon. I’ll wait for you,” Nicolette said. Samuel nodded and walked out. Nicolette bit herlip. Kathleen, you’re really scheming, but it’s no use. Samuel is mine. Samuel rushed to the scenewhere Kathleen had gone missing. Tyson handed a phone to him. “Mr. Macari, this is Mrs. Macari’sphone. There’s blood on it.” A chill ran down Samuel’s spine. “Go replace her! I want her dead or alive!”“Understood!” Tyson nodded and immediately ordered his men to search again. Samuel’s knuckleswhitened as he gripped Kathleen’s phone. He prayed hard that nothing had happened to her. “Ohmy god!” Gemma Young was shocked to see Benjamin Young carrying a girl, who was smearedwith blood, into the house. “Stop talking nonsense! Move aside!” Benjamin growled. Gemma quicklymoved to one side as Benjamin placed Kathleen on the couch. Gemma walked over. “Isn’t she…Kathleen?” “Yes. Bring me a towel.” Benjamin’s eyes were fixed on Kathleen. “Okay.” Gemma wentto the bathroom and handed a wet towel to Benjamin. “Benjamin, what happened?” “I was on myway here to look for you when I saw a drunkard harassing a girl. I only realized that she wasKathleen after I saved her.” Benjamin helped Kathleen wipe her face. “Why is there blood?” Gemmafrowned. “It belongs to the drunkard. She’s not hurt.” Gemma folded her arms. “Benjamin, shouldn’tyou send her to the hospital?” “She asked me not to send her to the hospital before she passedout.” “Why?” Gemma did not understand at all. “How would I know?” Benjamin shrugged. “I’ll leaveher with you. I’m leaving.” “Benjamin, where are you going? You have blood all over you. Willsomeone call the police if they see you in this state?” Gemma was worried about her brother. “I amthe police. Who are they going to call? I’m going to the police station to check who her family is andgive them a call.” Gemma’s face darkened. “Does she still have any family? She’s like us. Ourparents are no longer around.” “I’ll still have to check.” Kathleen had muttered the name “Sam”

when she was conscious. Benjamin thought Sam must be her family, possibly her boyfriend. Theyhad not seen each other for so long. Benjamin was not surprised that she now had a boyfriend.However, he was a little heartbroken. Benjamin left after instructing Gemma, “If Kathleen wakes up,ask her who else is there in her family. Give them a call and get them to pick her up. If she refusesto say, leave her alone. Don’t force her.” Gemma looked at Kathleen’s ashen face and sighed. Shewas wiping Kathleen’s face with a towel when Kathleen opened her eyes. “You’re awake.” Gemmasounded relieved. Stunned, Kathleen looked at Gemma in a daze. “Gem?” “Oh, you still rememberme? I thought you’ve forgotten about me ever since you were adopted by the Macari family,”Gemma teased. Kathleen paused for a while. “I wasn’t adopted by the Macari family.” “Whatever itis, I’m glad that you’re awake. Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?” Gemma started to examineKathleen. It had been so many years, and Kathleen was still as beautiful as before. “I’m feeling fine.Where is this place?” Kathleen pursed her lips. “My house. My brother saved you. He asked me tocall your family once you’re awake, in case they get worried.” Kathleen looked up in bewilderment.“I don’t have any family.” She would have nothing after she divorced Samuel. Gemma said wistfully,“That’s right. We have no family. We are all alone now.” “You still have Benjamin,” Kathleencorrected her. Gemma sighed. “Oh, do you want to give the Macari family a call?” Call the Macarifamily? What will Samuel do if he knows about it? Kathleen was put in a spot. If Diana and Wynnieknew that Samuel had left her alone late at night, and she had almost been molested by a drunkard,Diana would know that Samuel had gone to look for Nicolette. It would incur Samuel’s wrath.
