Chapter 515 Chapter 515 +25 BONUS Kate paused for a couple of seconds , like she was keeping her frustration at bay . She asked , " You can't even have croissants yourself ? " There weren't many Dalean restaurants around , and Dalean breakfast spots were even harder to come by . She and Vivian had to take a cab and spend half an hour just to get the food , and not everything Lauren wanted was available . Lauren blinked in surprise . " I can handle the croissants , but I need you to feed me everything else , especially the oatmeal . " " I'll do it . " Vivian stepped forward .

Lauren shot her down . " No way . I'm not eating food touched by strangers . " Seamus , no longer sleepy , had gone to splash some water on his face . Now , back in the room , he played the part of an invisible bystander and walked over to the table . He took a seat , grabbed a croissant and some oatmeal , and enjoyed them while watching the drama unfold , his grin sly . Women loved gossip , but so did men . When there was nothing else to do , watching women go at it was a great way to pass the time . And right now , his only job was to " keep an eye on Kate " .

Watching Seamus settle in , Kate thought that he seemed like a walking reminder of Rhea . He was a second pair of eyes watching her every move ! She washed her hands , came back , and lowered her gaze as she started handling the food for Lauren . As she moved to feed Lauren the steaming oatmeal , the latter frowned and waved her off . " Stir it with a spoon first ! Don't scald me ! " Kate seriously wanted to dump the warm oatmeal right on Lauren's face , but she managed to hold herself back . She believed that she would be fine once she got through these few days and headed home .

Once again , she swallowed her anger . Vivian watched Kate , unable to stop herself from feeling bad for her . This was the woman Sawyer cared about , yet she was being pushed around like this . And what was with that look in Seamus ' eyes ? She could forgive him for not being sympathetic , but why did he seem to be enjoying the situation ? She asked , " Do you find this funny , sir ? " Seamus nodded almost lazily . " Yeah . It's pretty amusing . Who would have thought that the ruthless Kate Pearson could be so patient when taking care of someone ? " Vivian frowned .

" Sir , please watch what you say . You can't just throw around accusations like that . We can sue you for slander . " " Oh ? " Seamus took a bite of his croissant . " Ask the two of them , then . Did your precious Ms. Pearson try to poison two kids ? And not just any kids - this patient's kids . If it were you , wouldn't you give Ms. Pearson a hard time ? Yet here you are , feeling sorry for her . " Vivian was stunned . What did he just say ? 1/3 Chapter 515 +25 BONUS The thing Kate dreaded the most was happening .

She had been terrified that Seamus and Lauren would bring up the past and keep harping on about it ! If this got back to Sawyer ... Vivian , who was usually quick with words , froze for a moment . She glanced at Kate , then turned back to Seamus . " It's not a fact if you don't have proof . " Lauren chimed in . " She also egged me on to poison my own kids . Why don't you ask her about that ? " Vivian was utterly flabbergasted now . She wondered if Sawyer was genuinely interested in Kate . Kate cut in . " Ms. Laird , I've got this . Why don't you head back to the hotel and rest ?

" Vivian , still reeling , nodded absently . " Oh , uh , sure . " It wasn't until she was already out of the inpatient department that she returned to her senses . Going back now would be awkward , so she hurried to the hotel to look for Maurice and figure out what was going on . Sawyer had never dated anyone before .
