All Too Late Chapter 404

He Must Not Take The Risk Again

The next day, Kathleen received the results of the bone marrow compatibility test. Leonard’s bone
marrow was not a match with Felicia's, which was not surprising.

After all, when it came to bone marrow, even biological parents were often not a match with their
children. She then relayed the results to Kelly.

“What should we do now?” Kelly felt terrible. Kathleen gazed at her coldly.

“You could consider explaining the truth to Leonard and have another child with him.That way, you
would have another chance at saving Felicia.” Kelly bit her lip.

“I...”

“It's for your daughter! Is it really so hard to do that?” Kathleen furrowed her brows slightly.

In fact, Kelly had spent the entire night thinking about it, too.I'd do anything for my daughter!

“All right, I'll do it!” she declared.

Standing up, she set out to talk to Leonard. The moment she said that, however, the door of the ward
was pushed open. Leonard came in, standing tall with a frosty expression on his handsome face.

“I'll make a move first.” Kathleen turned around.

“What's the test result?” Leonard gazed at her.

“You're not a match,” answered Kathleen.

“I'm leaving.”



With that, she turned to leave. Looking at Kelly impassively, Leonard asked in a heavy tone, “So, what
now?”

“I’m thinking of trying the other suggestion given by Dr.Johnson.” Kelly lowered her head.

“Do you have the man's contact?” Leonard’s voice was deep and hoarse.

“What?” Kelly was stunned.

“I meant your daughter’s biological father.You should have his contact, right? Aren't you still in love with
him and unwilling to leave him?” Leonard’s tone turnedicy as his eyes darkened. Kelly froze for a
moment, pursing her lips.

After a brief pause, she stated, “Leonard, Felicia's biological father is actually…you.”

Leonard froze when he heard that. Kelly bit her lip.

“It’s true.Her blood type is Rh-negative, same as yours.” Leonard merely gazed at her blankly. Tears
rolled down Kelly’s cheeks.

“Nothing ever went on between me and that man.It was all just an act.”

Just an act? Leonard was overcome with confusion.

“Why would you do that?” Taking a deep breath, Kelly began to explain, “It’s because of my family…”

With that, she told him the truth about what really happened. Leonard said nothing for a long while. He
was simply too shocked. Kelly waited for his response anxiously.She had no idea what was going
through his mind.

“And you’re telling me this now only because you want to save Felicia's life?” Leonard asked coldly.



Kelly nodded unhesitatingly.

“I understand now,” Leonard uttered through gritted teeth.

With that said, he spun around and left. Kelly could not help but feel dumbfounded.

What does he understand? After leaving Felicia's ward, Leonard thought for a moment and went
straight to see Samuel. Kathleen happened to be changing the dressing on Samuel's wrist.

“Haven't you ever heard of knocking?” Samuel asked disdainfully.

“Go easy on him.He's probably just received the shock of his life,” Kathleen teased.

“What shock?” Samuel frowned deeply.

“Kelly’s given birth to his daughter, whose name is Felicia.Back then, Kelly didn't leave him because
she had an affair with another man but because of reasons to do with her family,” Kathleen explained
simply.

Samuel remained expressionless.

“Then why does he look so depressed?”

Kathleen shot a quick glance at Leonard before explaining, “Needless to say, he must have asked Kelly
ifshe was telling him the truth now only for the sake of saving Felicia, and she must have answered
yes.That should explain his gloomy state.”

Samuel finally understood.

“I see.So, you're unhappy about the fact that Kelly told you about this because of her child and not
because she loves you?” Leonard swallowed.



“Yes.”

“She's already given birth to your daughter, and yet you care about such a trivial detail? If she didn’t
love you, then why would she have chosen to have your child? Wouldn't it be easier just to get an
abortion?” Samuel scoffed.

“And is it based on this line of reasoning that you believe Kathleen still has feelings for you, even
though she lost her memories?” Leonard asked quietly. Samuel ignored him.

“Leonard, there is no time to waste when it comes to treating Felicia's condition.I might be able to delay
it for a while, but her body might not beable to bear it for long,” Kathleen remarked as she dressed
Samuel's wound. Leonard nodded.

“I know that.”

“There's another thing.” Kathleen frowned as she continued, “You’d better not be foolish.If you're
thinking of in vitro fertilization, you should know that the procedure would be very harsh on Kelly’s
body.”

Leonard was shocked by her words.

“But Kathleen—”

“I'm only telling you the truth, even if you don’t like to hear it,” Kathleen interrupted in an icytone.

“That's not what I mean.” Leonard felt rather embarrassed.

“I'm a doctor, and I'm just telling you the facts.” Kathleen's expression remained chilly.

“If there's nothing else you want to understand, then go quickly and sort it out with Kelly.She’s
distressed enough as it is because of Felicia.Don't make things any harder for her.”



“All right.”

With a nod, Leonard left the room. Samuel gave Kathleen a long, meaningful look.

“You're pretty good at giving advice, aren't you?”

“I was only laying out the facts for him so that they have less to think about.Most importantly, I don’t
want to waste time.Felicia is about Desi’s age.If what happened to her is happening to my own
daughter, I would be beyond anxious.How would I still have the time to wait for a man to dilly-dally? He
really shouldn't be giving Kelly anything more to worry about.” Samuel sat up straight.

“Kate, I promise I would never hold you back.”

“I'll kick you if you dare do that,” stated Kathleen, narrowing her eyes at him.

“I'd never let you have any reason to do that.I'm going to prove it to you.” Samuel leaned closer to her.

“You’d better keep your word, then,” Kathleen said with a scoff.

“Of course,” Samuel confirmed with a nod.

“You should rest well and take care of your injury.I'm carrying on with my work.” Kathleen picked up her
things and left the ward before Samuel could say anything else. He gaped at her disappearing figure
speechlessly. What a cool woman! Later in the evening, Kathleen was treating a patient when her
phone suddenly rang. Glancing at her phone screen, she saw that it was Wynnie calling and picked up
the call.

“Hello, Mrs.Macari.”

“Bad news, Kate.Desi just disappeared! I just saw her playing in the courtyard before I left to get a drink
of water.But when I came back, she was no longer there!” Wynnie’s panicked voice rang out on the



phone. Kathleen immediately stood up, grabbing her coat and car keys.

“Got it.I'm off to search for her now.”

“Where would you be searching?” Wynnie asked anxiously.

“If Desi was kidnapped, the kidnapper would surely call either me or Samuel.”

With that,Kathleen hung up and went off to Samuel's ward at once. Samuel had received Wynnie's call
as well and was getting dressed, ready to leave the room. However, Kathleen pushed him back.

“I know you're anxious, but you have to take your medication first, or you won’t have time for that later.”
She then handed him the medication. Samuel frowned slightly,but he could not refuse to take it since it
was Kathleen who was giving it to him. Thus, he quickly swallowed it and stood up to leave. However,
all of a sudden, he was hit by a rush of vertigo. Kathleen instantly wrapped her arms around him,
supporting him and helping him to lie down on the bed.

“Kate...” Samuel uttered drowsily.

“You shouldn't move around too much, Samuel.Get some rest here and wait for my news.” Kathleen
leaned her forehead against his.
