All Too Late

case, Old Mrs. Macari will still hear about it.”

It was impossible to keep things under wraps forever.

Even if Diana never left home, she lived in a modern era.

She would go online with her phone, so it would be impossible to keep things from her.

Kathleen fell silent.

What should I do? Should I continue this stalemate with Samuel?

Grumble!

Kathleen’s stomach growled without warning, startling Wynnie.

Kathleen felt a little awkward. She hadn’t eaten anything the whole day.

“Samuel, this bastard! Did he not even buy you a meal?” Wynnie was fuming.

All of his attention is on that mistress even though his wife is in the hospital. He isn’t even

aware that she’s hungry here! No wonder Kathleen is adamant about filing for divorce.

“Wynnie, I can just buy myself bread later on.” Kathleen wanted to quell Wynnie’s anger.

Wynnie stared at her knowingly. “Hold on for a moment.”

After that, Wynnie reached for her phone to dial a number. “Hello, are you still at work?

Prepare a meal and send it to the hospital. My daughter-in-law is hospitalized. Yeah. I need

something tasty and nutritious.”

Wynnie turned to look at Kathleen after hanging up. “I ordered a lavish meal from Mila.

She’ll be here in a moment.”

The woman who Wynnie mentioned was her close friend and a five-star chef capable of

cooking delicious meals.

Those who wanted to get a taste of her food would have to book an appointment, and the

waiting list had reached as far into the future as next year.

However, Wynnie was able to settle everything with just a phone call.

In a sense, she was the dominant one.

Mila Hunter arrived twenty minutes later with a bunch of stuff.

Wynnie took the things from her while saying, “Thanks for your hard work, Babe.”

“You don’t need to be so formal with me.” Mila turned to look at Kathleen. “Why were you

hospitalized, Katie?”

“I…” Kathleen wasn’t sure how she should explain.

“Oh, it’s infuriating! Someone tried to plot against Katie, but a policeman rescued her. That

policeman suffered grave injuries and is still in the intensive care unit,” Wynnie explained.

“What?” Mila was shocked.

She walked over to the sickbed and checked on Kathleen. While cupping Kathleen’s soft

cheeks with both her hands, she inquired, “Are you all right?”

“It’s nothing.” Kathleen shook her head.

“Great. If something happened to you, your mother-in-law would bawl her eyes out,” joked

Mila.

Wynnie took out all of the dishes that Mila brought with her. “You bet.”

“Your mother-in-law wanted a daughter, but your father-in-law thought that childbirth was

too painful. In the end, they only had Samuel, their only son,” said Mila. “That’s why she

had been treating you as if you were her daughter.”

“Yeah, I know that.” Kathleen was aware that Wynnie was very nice to her and loved her like

how a mother would, while she also loved and respected Wynnie.

Mila also doted on Kathleen due to her relationship with Wynnie.

In fact, everyone in and related to the Macari family was nice to her, with Samuel being the

only exception.

Sometimes, Kathleen couldn’t help but think that the reason she couldn’t make up her mind

to divorce Samuel and leave him once and forever was perhaps that she had all those

amicable people around her.

“Come on. Have something to eat.” Wynnie placed the food in front of Kathleen.

Mila looked around. “By the way, where is Samuel?”

Wynnie sighed impatiently. “He’s upstairs.”

Mila grasped the situation immediately. With a frown, she muttered, “Samuel had gone

overboard! I’ll go get him.”

“Don’t do that, Mdm. Hunt.” Kathleen held Mila back. “Let him be. I’m fine and no longer

care.”

It was true that she no longer cared.

Mila looked at her apologetically. “Samuel will regret this.”

Wynnie nodded. “Definitely! It would be best if he regrets this so much that he kneels in

front of Katie while bawling his eyes out.”

“Yeah!” Mila didn’t feel that was enough. “Kate, you’d better not forgive him that easily by

then!”

Kathleen didn’t know what to say. Aren’t you two supposed to be Samuel’s mother and

close associate?

All of a sudden, Kathleen retched as she felt her stomach churning, so she hopped off the

bed to run into the washroom.

Wynnie and Mila exchanged glances.

After a while, Kathleen returned with a pale face.

“What’s wrong, Katie?” Mila stared at her in puzzlement. “Are you feeling sick?”

“I’m sorry to have worried you, Mdm. Hunt. My stomach had been feeling uncomfortable. I

had seen a doctor yesterday,” she explained.

She was determined to hide the fact that she was pregnant.

If it was uncovered, the Macari family would never agree to her divorce and would want her

to give birth to the baby.

However, she knew that wouldn’t matter, for Samuel would never change his mind, nor had

she ever planned to tie him down with her child.

Children were people, not tools.

She would love and care for her children on her own, so she needed nobody else.

Thus, she was ready to leave the place that had too many people and incidents that had

hurt her.

Even though Diana, Wynnie, and Mila were all nice to her, she still felt like leaving.
