Chapter 3 Leukemia
Kathleen turned around with a faint smile. “I don’t intend to get you involved, Ms. Williams.”
With that, she proceeded to make her way out.
Tears began to drip down Quinn’s face.
Kathleen’s mother used to be her mentor, yet there was nothing she could do to help Kathleen.
She didn’t know how she was going to face her own mentor.
When Kathleen came out of the obstetrics and gynecology department, she showed Tyson the report in her hands. “Take a good look. I’m not pregnant, so you can go now.”
What she said made Tyson feel awkward.
“Where are you heading, Mrs. Macari? I’ll send you there.” Here, he paused and added in a softer voice, “Mr. Macari told me to.”
“I don’t like being followed around. You can tell Samuel that I will look for Grandma, but I have something else to do right now,” Kathleen declared.
“Understood.” Tyson nodded.
Kathleen turned and left.
After taking two steps, she realized that she had forgotten to take her phone, so she went back to get it.
When she came out again, someone stopped her by calling her name.
“Kathleen.” Nicolette’s voice traveled into her ears.
Kathleen froze. How did I end up bumping into her?
She turned around quietly and looked at Nicolette, who was dressed in a hospital gown and looked a little pale.
Even so, she still looked gorgeous.
Despite the physical resemblance between them, their temperaments were completely different.
Kathleen was alluring, but there was something innocent about her.
Nicolette, on the other hand, was purely priggish.

Nicolette watched as they linked arms with venom in her eyes.
Samuel glanced at her and said, “Go back to the ward and get some rest. I’ll be back soon.”
“Okay.” Nicolette bit her lip. “Hurry back. Let’s eat lunch together.”
“Sure.” Samuel nodded.
Kathleen dragged him outside, and they went to the nearby restaurant that she had mentioned.
She took one menu, looking relaxed. “What are you getting, Sam?”
“I’m not eating.”
“You’re trying to save some room in your stomach to have lunch with Nicolette later, right? I get it.” Kathleen gestured for the waiter. “Can I get one quinoa salad? Also, I want a plate of chicken drumsticks. Thanks.”
“Sure.” The waiter nodded, then walked away.
Samuel knitted his eyebrows. “Why are you eating so much?”
He knew that Kathleen typically had a small appetite. She would be full after just a few bites.
“Really, Sam? I only ordered a bowl of quinoa salad and some chicken drumsticks, and you think I’m eating too much? Has your company gone bankrupt or something? Are you poor now?”
“Just eat.”
Sometimes, her cheekiness was adorable. Other times, however, it was plain infuriating.
Even so, Samuel had to admit that it hadn’t been too bad waiting for Nicolette to come back for the past three years with Kathleen by his side.
When the food was served, Kathleen began to dig in.
She was practically starving at that point, and so was the baby she was carrying.
As she chewed her salad, her cheeks puffed up. That action of hers was incredibly cute, and she looked just like a squirrel.
“What did you want to say to me?” Kathleen asked softly.
“What did Nicolette tell you just now?”
Kathleen frowned. Is he trying to settle the score?
“She told me that she had leukemia.”
“That’s true. I went to check for a bone marrow match for her. Surprisingly enough, there’s a donor in this hospital whose blood type is a perfect match for her. Can you guess who it is?”
Kathleen’s eyelid twitched. “You mean… me?”
