Winning her back after divorce (Divorce anxiety)

Chapter 428

Chapter 428 This Is A MiracleOutside the room, Kathleen knitted her brows.She didn’t know why

Samuel was looking for Ashley.Nonetheless, she let the matter go and walked away from the

door.Meanwhile, the conversation in the room went on.“We haven’t found anything all these years. How

come there’s suddenly news about her now?” Samuel wondered out loud, a solemn look evident on his

face.“Here’s what happened, Mr. Macari. After Ashley was kidnapped back then, the Zeller family kept

quiet about it because they were worried that something would happen to her again. They also forbade

anyone in the family from spreading the news. It is said that Ashley was so traumatized to the point of

losing part of her memories. Thus, the Zeller family kept the incident a secret for her sake. However,

someone managed to dig this up some time ago, which allowed us to follow the clues and find her,”

Samuel nodded. “It’s a good thing she’s alive.” Otherwise, he would feel guilty about it for the rest of his All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

life.“Mr. Macari, I have another piece of information.” Tyson paused before continuing, “Ashley is Luna

Zeller’s niece. The former is very favored by the Zeller family since her parents had her in their autumn

years.”“I got it. I owe her for this incident, after all. It doesn’t matter whose niece she is,” Samuel said

calmly.“Do I need to inform Mrs. Macari about this?”Shaking his head, Samuel advised, “There is no

need for now.”“All right. I understand,” Tyson said, bobbing his head.“Do not let anyone know of this,”

reminded Samuel with a deep voice.Once again, Tyson nodded.There was no way he would tell

anyone about this.After a while, the two men came out of the study together.When Samuel returned to

the bedroom, Kathleen was nowhere to be found.He immediately came back out and went

downstairs.Kathleen was sitting by the dining table, having her breakfast quietly.“You’re awake?”

Samuel uttered as he walked over to her.Kathleen simply nodded without saying anything.“Does your

head hurt?” Samuel asked out of concern.“Yes.” Taking a gulp of her juice, Kathleen remarked, “Your

head would hurt if you drank, too.”Her words amused Samuel. “Didn’t you ban me from drinking?”He

had listened to her well and abstained from alcohol totally.In response, Kathleen let out a light

snort.Samuel sat down, studying her carefully.Noticing that there weren’t any visible changes in her

mood, he figured she had forgotten about last night.While Kathleen was eating nonchalantly, her phone

rang.“Hello?” she said into the phone.Federick’s excited voice came from the other end of the line.

“Kate, it’s me. Are you at the hospital today? I’ll visit you with Madeline. I have something urgent to tell

you.”Something urgent?“Okay,” Kathleen agreed instantly. “I’ll go to the hospital and wait for you

there.”“Okay.” After that, Federick cut the call, and Kathleen put down her phone.“What’s the matter?”

Samuel inquired.“Federick wants to see me for something urgent. He said he’s coming with Madeline. I

don’t know what happened,” said Kathleen with a frown.“I’ll go with you to the hospital.”Kathleen gave

him a side-eye and teased, “You’re by my side all the time. Are you giving up on your company

now?”Samuel stared at her.“If you keep doing this, your employees might accuse me of seducing you

and keeping you from going to work,” Kathleen argued. “You don’t need to come with me. I’ll be fine on

my own.”After all, she was a grown-up now.Pursing his lips, Samuel gave in. “All right.”“Bye!” Kathleen

gave him a peck on the cheek and reminded him, “Be careful with your wrist.”In an instant, the

nervousness Samuel had been feeling the entire night dissipated because of her action. “Okay. I’m

going to work now.” After kissing her lips lightly, he stood up and headed out.Tyson was already waiting

in the car outside.With Samuel gone, Kathleen heaved a sigh of relief.She finished her food and

changed her clothes before heading to the hospital.Right after she reached her office, Federick came in

with Madeline.“Please be seated,” Kathleen said politely. “What urgent matter is it that brought you two

here?”Federick seemed pumped up, so she guessed it was not something bad.“Kate. Madeline…

Madeline has changed!” Federick blurted excitedly.Changed?Kathleen shifted her gaze to Madeline

and asked with bewilderment, “In what way?”“Ms. Kate,” Madeline called out sweetly.Kathleen froze.

The girl used to call her Katie.“What’s going on?” Kathleen was puzzled.“Ms. Kate, I’ve returned to

normal,” explained Madeline with a smile.Returned… to normal?Hearing those words, Kathleen looked

Madeline up and down. “You’re cured of autism?”“Daddy brought me to a checkup this morning. My

symptoms are very mild now. The doctor said I can be cured if I continue taking medicine and receiving

treatment.”Exhilarated, Kathleen wrapped her arms around Madeline. “This is great news!”Federick

wiped away his tears and said, “Isn’t this a blessing in disguise?”“It is!” Kathleen beamed.She let go of

Madeline and held the latter’s face with both hands.Madeline was thirteen years old now, almost in the

prime of her youth.Federick was worried sick about her before, but fortunately, she recovered.He was

so emotional that he began to shed tears of joy. “Back then, I even thought of asking you to take care

of Madeline when her grandmother and I are no longer around.”Madeline’s eyes also started to redden

at that point.When Federick and her mother divorced, he was still young.He could have dated someone

else, but he did not do so.Instead, he devoted himself to taking care of Madeline.Sitting beside

Federick, Madeline noticed that he had grown a lot of white hair.There was no denying that he had

aged a lot.“Thank you, Dad,” said Madeline tearfully.Federick was sobbing uncontrollably by then, and

it pained Kathleen to see that.She patted his shoulder and comforted, “Federick, this is a good thing.”“I

know,” Federick cried. “I am happy. I am beyond happy! If only I could, I’d let everyone in this world

know about this good news!”Kathleen understood his sentiments very well.Federick then said, “Kate, it

will be Madeline’s birthday in a few days. I want to throw her a huge birthday party. Remember to come

with Samuel.”“Okay, sure.”Wiping his tears, Federick stood up. “We’ll leave first, then. My mom is still

waiting for us at home.”“All right. See you soon!”After walking them out of the hospital, Kathleen stood

by the entrance, watching their leaving figures.At that moment, Gemma ran out in a hurry. “Kate, I

heard that—”Before she could even continue, Kathleen embraced her and laughed heartily.Gemma

immediately understood.She hugged Kathleen back tightly and said with a trembling voice, “This is

great news. This is wonderful news!”“I know!” Kathleen was about to burst into tears. “This is a

miracle!”“I feel like nothing else can make me happier than this,” Gemma said with reddened eyes.The

two women expressed their excitement for a while before releasing each other.Holding Gemma’s hand,

Kathleen commented, “This is indeed happy news, but you’ll be as happy when Richard proposes to

you again.”“Don’t even mention it.” Gemma suddenly pouted. “I don’t know why, but he’s been

extremely quiet after the proposal. My brother is slowly setting aside his prejudice toward Richard.

Now, Richard is the one staying in the same place and not progressing.”
