Chapter 142

"Misunderstanding? Are you afraid Julien will misunderstand?" Samuel questioned. Shelmaine didn't want to talk about Julien with him. She frowned, exhaustion evident in her eyes and furrowed brows. She truly didn't want to see Samuel. Seeing him stirred memories of the past, overwhelming her with a blend of pain and joy and filling her heart with a flood of suppressed emotions. Samuel's mood wasn't any better. With a grim expression, he considered her condition and temporarily exited the room. Standing by the door, he lit a cigarette, feeling more irritated than ever. All he could think about was how much Shelmaine now seemed to despise and avoid him. She used to cling to him so closely. She even loved falling asleep wrapped in his arms. Back then, she couldn't bear to be away from him. Meanwhile, Luke had managed to calm Isabelle down. He took her to a nearby hotel to settle her in and keep her at ease. However, Isabelle was unwilling. She wanted to return to the hospital.
