Winning her back after divorce (Divorce anxiety)

Chapter 477

Chapter 477 Dead A few days later, Betty’s condition stabilized, and she was ready to undergo surgery.

Kathleen applied to the local hospital to borrow their operating room to carry out Betty’s surgery. Prior

to the surgery, the elderly lady was already admitted into the hospital for pre-operative management.

Kathleen began preparing for the surgery as well. Samuel walked up to her. “Kate, I’ll be leaving in a

while.” She was shocked. “Where are you going?” “I’m going to Pollerton to visit the kids because I

miss them. I’ll be back soon.” He hugged her from behind. Kathleen nodded. “Okay. Go ahead then. It’s

normal for you to miss them since you are their father. Moreover, after all the things that had happened

previously, they must be feeling sad.” “Okay.” Samuel kissed her on the cheek. “Good luck with the

surgery.”

“Okay.” Kathleen smiled faintly. He said in a hoarse voice, “I’ll be back in time before you’re done with

the operation.” Nardor was not far from Pollerton. Samuel reckoned he would be able to return in time

in the afternoon if he departed earlier. “I got it. Be careful.” She continued wearing her carefree smile.

He nodded, turned on his heels, and left. After that, Kathleen carried on with her preparation. She knew

what Samuel was actually going to do and was also aware of why he had not been honest with her. I’ll

leave that matter to him because I have something more important to deal with now. Samuel returned

to Pollerton. He went directly to the condominium Ashley was staying in and knocked on the door. A

thin woman opened the door. She uttered in astonishment, “S-Samuel…” Samuel gazed at that

woman’s face indifferently. It really is her. “It’s been a long time, Ms. Zeller. I believe you know why I’m

here,” Samuel said expressionlessly. Ashley pursed her lips. “Please, come in.” “That’s not needed. I

do not think that would be appropriate,” he replied plainly. Ashley was slightly dazed. Inexplicably, she

felt extremely pressured. She was genuinely frightened by him. Ashley apologized before saying

anything else, “I’m sorry. I knew everything Luna did, but I didn’t stop her and even allowed her to

abuse my identity.” “All that because she’s your aunt?” Samuel asked coldly. Ashley explained, “Yes,

simply because she’s my aunt. She treats me very well, so…”

Samuel piped up, “She orchestrated your kidnapping incident in the past.” “What?” she exclaimed

startlingly. “Are you telling the truth, Mr. Macari?” Walter stood at the bottom of the stairs. Standing

beside him was his wife, Phoebe Gaunt. Both of them were shocked to their cores. Tyson took out the

evidence. “This is a recording taken by the kidnapper in the past. You all can take a look.” Walter strode

over, extending an invitation to Samuel. “Please, come in, Mr. Macari.” Samuel nodded. He did not

mind entering when accompanied by the couple. Walter, Phoebe, and Ashley watched the footage

together. They witnessed Luna instructing the kidnapper to abduct Ashley and even told the kidnapper

to kill Ashley after receiving the ransom in the video. Colors drained from the trio’s faces. “This…”

Walter stared at Samuel in utter disbelief. “If you don’t believe the genuineness of this footage, you can

submit it to the police to carry out an authentication test. Mr. Zeller, your daughter had to suffer this

traumatic experience at such a young age, yet you’re still helping the culprit. Doesn’t your conscience

hurt you?” Phoebe was especially infuriated. “D*mn it! Darling, that’s your little sister! I knew your sister

was evil. We were blessed with a child at an old age, to begin with. I was almost fifty when we had

Ashley. Luna wanted us to be childless so that she could inherit all the Zeller family’s riches. She’s such

a ruthless woman!” Walter did not know if he should be comforting his wife because he was also

enraged. Luna must have done that because she’s vying for the family’s wealth. He sighed in misery.

He did not expect his own little sister to be so cold-blooded. “Mrs. Zeller, do you know why you

experienced multiple miscarriages in the past?” Tyson asked. Phoebe was stunned. “Why?” “That’s

because someone poisoned you,” Tyson explained. The woman was dumbfounded. “Luna was behind

that as well?” Tyson’s nod confirmed her question. “That b*tch!” she cried her heart out. Walter was

livid. “How did she do that?”

“The doctor who treated Mrs. Zeller was working for Luna. Whenever Mrs. Zeller went to the clinic for

her regular checkup, she would be prescribed some folic acid tablets. However, some of the other

medications were teratogenic. Mrs. Zeller took the medications, assuming they contained folic acid,

leading to the miscarriages,” Tyson elaborated. Phoebe almost fainted upon hearing that. “Mom!”

Ashley felt a pang of pain in her heart as she looked at her mother. None of them had expected the

person they had trusted would harm them in that manner. Samuel wore an aloof expression. “I’ll leave

this evidence here for you all. It’s up to you to decide how to handle this matter. However, I don’t think

Luna will spare all of you.” With that, he stood up, turned around, and was about to leave. “Samuel,”

Ashley uttered. Poker-faced, Samuel said, “I think these should be sufficient to repay you for saving my

life.” Ashley flushed. “Thank you, Samuel. If I hadn’t been so incompetent in the past and stirred a

ruckus, we could have escaped unscathed.” “You were only five years old at that time. From now on,

we owe each other nothing.” “Okay.” She nodded. “I hope you’ll be happy.” “Thank you.” He strode off

with Tyson trailing behind him. Ashley returned to the couch dejectedly. Then, she began to sob. “I

wouldn’t have become infertile if not for Luna.” In the past, those people had indeed intended to kill her.

The bullet hit her abdomen, and she bled profusely. After Ashley was sent to the hospital, the doctor

informed her she could never become pregnant because her uterus was damaged.

At that time, Ashley was overwhelmed by regrets. She constantly wondered if things would have ended

differently if she had been more careful. Little did she expect the whole incident to be planned by Luna,

her biological aunt. At the sight of her daughter in agony, Walter said, “Ashley, I will avenge you. I

promise!” Ashley’s face was covered in tears. “I want to skin that fake Ashley alive!” “Okay. I promise

you! Let’s go back now and take back everything that belongs to us!” Walter announced. “All right!” The

mother and daughter duo nodded in agreement. Samuel’s visit this time had completely set the anger

in their chests ablaze. Aside from being there to inform Ashley and her family of the truth, he had also

intended to borrow their strength to deal with Luna. After all, another family member’s betrayal carried

the most significant weight. Samuel knew Walter and his family would not let Luna off the hook easily. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

In that case, Kathleen could rest assured and focus on treating Betty’s illness at Nardor. Luna would

not have the time to spare to cause trouble for Kathleen since Samuel and Walter would be at

Jadeborough to hinder her plan. After leaving Ashley’s condominium, Samuel went to visit the kids.

Eilam and Desiree were very excited when they saw their father. Samuel wanted to hug them, but

Eilam said, “Daddy, you don’t have to hug me because I’m an adult now.” “Me too!” Desiree followed

suit. Samuel knew they were worried about his hand and leg, so he resorted to patting their heads. “Mr.

Macari?” Gemma came in from outside. She was astounded to see Samuel. Samuel fell into a daze as

well when he saw her. Isn’t she dead?
