Chapter 4 Family Specialty
This is unbelievable. Seriously, what a f*cking cruel twist of fate! Kathleen, who played 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 a woman who destroyed my family and stole my husband away.”
Truth was, those actually didn’t matter that much.
What mattered was that she was pregnant with a child, so she couldn’t donate her bone marrow.
However, she couldn’t tell Samuel about that.
If he found out, he would force her to get rid of the baby.
“I’ll do anything you want as long as you agree to be her donor,” Samuel offered generously.
“Even if it means not getting a divorce?” Kathleen muttered with her head lowered.
She didn’t want him to notice the sorrow in her gaze.
Samuel fell silent.
Looks like he can’t let Nicolette go. Even if he agrees to my request, that’s only because he wants to save Nicolette’s life. 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, you should know that I don’t love you.”
Kathleen’s face paled.
Those words were like a dagger stabbing through her heart.
It was as if fresh blood was pooling out, and it hurt like never before.
“And what if I insist on keeping this dead love alive?” Kathleen slowly lifted her gaze and revealed her sparkling eyes.
“You won’t get anything from it, then. It doesn’t matter what aspect you’re talking about.”
“It’s the first time I’ve found you so disgusting, Samuel.” Kathleen put down the spoon in her hand. “You said 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 life now?”
Does he even know how much I love him? How can he be so cruel to torture me like this?
“You can’t have the best of both worlds, Samuel. It’s just like me and you.”

was different
She wasn’t the picky kind, nor was she incredibly welcoming.
Instead, she was standoffish and cold.
Even so, she had never insulted Kathleen in any way, nor had she looked down on her.
Kathleen felt that it was a good thing.
That was why she held Wynnie in high regard.
“Mm.” Wynnie was a sophisticated woman in her forties. She was wearing a professional 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 just wasn’t accustomed to expressing herself that much.
That was one thing she had in common with Samuel.
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’s have dinner together,” Wynnie said.
One of her clients had given them to her. She didn’t want to accept them at first, but she had done so because she knew that Kathleen liked them.
She had even wanted to call Samuel and get him to bring Kathleen over for dinner. But surprisingly, Kathleen was already there.
It was true that Kathleen really enjoyed eating crabs. In the past, she could eat five all on her own.
On top of that, Samuel would help her with the shells. When she thought about it, she realized that they had shared quite a few intimate moments.
The only thing was that there was no love in them.
Even though she liked crabs very much, she felt absolutely disgusted when she thought of the taste right then.
She immediately turned and dashed into the bathroom before vomiting into the sink.
Wynnie came in and watched as Kathleen washed her mouth with some water from the door.
Kathleen wiped her hands with a towel and said, “My stomach hasn’t been feeling well lately, Mom.”
Wynnie’s eyes darkened. “Did you go for a checkup?”
“I did. The doctor told me to get enough rest.” Kathleen pursed her lips.
Wynnie hesitated for a moment and asked, “Nicolette’s back. Do you know that?”
