Chapter 87
The more Samuel listened, the darker his expression became. He enlily said, “If It’s all up to fate, then what the hell do we need you for?”
Sebastian, caught off guard, was momentarily speechless. Then, he snapped, “Thar 5% chance? I made that happen during surgery. If I hadn’t stepped in, he’d already be a damn corpse!”
“That still doesn’t change the fact you couldn’t

Thanks to Sebastian’s arrangements, Owen was moved into a premium ward with two full
Kylie got the admission paperwork done in no time and was about to head to the ward when Samuel stopped lier.
“You mentioned Grandpa’s treatment needed a new herb–the Purple Frost Boot, right?” His voice was polite on the surface, but it was still packed with that overbearing force he always carried, “Shouldn’t you come back with me now and get that handled?”
There were caregivers at the hospital, and Kylie couldn’t do much here anyway.
That was when it hit her–she’d lost the Purple Frost Root at the crash site.
“The one I picked got left behind in the wreck,” she calmly said. “And even if I went back, there wouldn’t be enough time. I’d already picked most of what was usable on the mountain.”
Samuel narrowed his eyes. “And?”
“We’ll have to buy it from a pharmacy,” Kylie replied. “The medicinal effect won’t be as strong as the wild kind, but it’ll still work”
That did it.
Whatever anger Samuel had managed to bottle up surged right back to the surface, and it was now mixed with a wave of unexplainable fury too.
-So after all that trouble, not only did you come back empty–handed,” he said through clenched teeth, “but you still had the nerve to play the whole “let’s breakup and move on” card?
Kylie had already been holding in her frustration. But now, her temper snapped too. “What? Do you think I made up that whole herb–hunting story just to cover for Owen’s accident?”
Samuel let out cold anurt.

Of all places and times, she’d just so happened to be picking herbs on that exact mountain–while Owen was there.
That kind of coincidence didn’t sit right with Samuel. In fact, it reeked of something pre–arranged, as it Kylie had planned to meet Owen
In the end, Kylie followed samur into a Bentley and headed toward the Vance residence.
Kylie slowly extuled, too eduusted to explain anything anymore.
“You don’t believe me, to what’s the point in defending myself?” she said. “Think what you want of Heal or take, it doesn’t matter anymore. You clearly can’t
four, I’ll step aside. You and Iris can live happily ever after. Isn’t that what you’ve always wanted?
For do I need to start wondering if you’re actually in love with? The way you’re clinging on, I’d think you couldn’t live without me.”
“In love with you?” Sammiel’s voice turned sharp as a blade.
Kylie’s chest tightened.
At the peal second, Samuel suddenly leaned in, his tall frame quickly closing the distance between them.
His scent surrounded her insp, woody cologne mind with a stronger–than–usual hint of tobacco,
Oddly enough, it still wasn’t unpleasant.
Nanital’s expression was uradalde, but he still looked as cold and detached as always.
At that mocnent, his lips curled intraluli unurk.
“What are you doing? Kylie instinctively slitanklar, her spine pressing against the ky car window.
Samuel caught the Hash of fear and confusion in her eyes. He reached out, grabbed her chin, and forced her to meet his gare. “Are you scared of me?”
“No,” Kylie answered.
