While Kathy was walking along the pathway to go out, Grandpa’s words just now kept flashing in her
mind. All these were too shocking for her.
She could not believe it.
A Maybach slowly stopped beside her. Joseph got out of the car.
He clasped Kathy’s wrist and embraced her tightly.
“Mrs. Joseph.”
Kathy’s eyes sagged and her face looked as white as a sheet.
She regained her presence of mind only after being carried into the car.
“I only want to know who am I…” she murmured.
“You’re Mrs. Joseph, Kathy, you belong to the Joseph family.” Joseph held her hand with great
strength.
Joseph was nervous.
However, Kathy shook her head and pushed Joseph away.
“I’m not…”
She was panicked and felt helpless at that moment. She looked at Joseph, “I want to go to the house of
the Hilton family.”
Joseph did not bring her there but brought her to Joseph Bay.
Kathy looked at him blankly.
“Have a rest first. When you calm down, I’ll go to the house of the Hilton family with you,” Joseph said
in a deep voice.
Kathy nodded. She was extremely perplexed in mind so she would not know what to say when she met
Jennifer.
After taking a bath, Kathy lay in bed and closed her eyes. What came to her mind was her childhood
memories.
“Dad, I saw a very good-looking boy today, can we bring him home…”
“Dad only needs one mischief-maker like you being around…”
“But he’s really good-looking. He’s just a bit autistic so nobody wants to adopt him.”
“Stay out of others’ business. Let’s go home…”
“…”
Kathy suddenly opened her eyes. She could not remember the boy’s face anymore since long ago but
many years later, she would still miss him.
Kathy shook her head and was a little more awake. She took her phone and realized there were
several missed calls.
It was Grandpa.
Kathy dialed back.
“I know everything’s too abrupt for you today,” Zack’s old voice sounded, “Kathy, Grandpa’s only left
with a short time to live, I hope you can spend more time with me.”
Kathy sagged her eyes and her shoulders were slightly trembling.
Although Grandpa was one of the factors that caused her to be abandoned last time, she still could not
be mad at him.
Whatever that had passed was no longer important.
“Alright.”
“Then I’ll send someone to pick you up tomorrow.”
After hanging up the phone, Kathy’s pupils lifted and Joseph had just finished taking a shower.
“My grandpa…” Kathy’s voice was quivering, “I’ll take tomorrow off and go to see him.”
“Alright, I’ll go with you.”
Kathy shook her head as she did not want to get him involved.
“I can just go on my own,” she said.
“Mrs. Joseph, I’m your husband, you have to trust me.” Joseph’s voice sounded serious.
“Give me some space, can?” Kathy shook her head resolutely.
Joseph did not utter a word but just turned around and entered the study.
Kathy knew that he was angry.
But she was having a mess in her mind now so she just wanted to be alone.
When she fell asleep, space next to her on the bed was still empty.
In the study, Joseph did not get any information about the Booth family through the investigation.
However, Jennifer had owned some businesses and based on this clue, he was able to somewhat find
out something.
The Booth family in O country…
He narrowed his eyes and his eyes looked cold and sharp.
When he went back to the master bedroom, he saw that Kathy was almost huddling herself up. This
was because the air conditioner was too cold but the blanket was kicked aside by her.
When Joseph was trying to place her body properly, his expression changed when he felt Kathy’s body
temperature.
He placed his palm on her forehead. It was even hotter.
“Mrs. Joseph!”
Without hesitation, he called the private doctor to come over. Kathy opened her eyes in a daze.
What was wrong with her…
She felt so hot that she vigorously pulled off the pajamas she was wearing,
Joseph held her wrist and quickly said, “Don’t move!”
Didn’t she know how alluring she was at that moment!
Kathy slowly opened her eyes. What she saw was Joseph’s expression that looked worried.
She seemed to have a fever…
The private doctor arrived very soon. Kathy only had a slight fever and her body condition still looked
fine.
Kathy lay in the bed, watching Joseph who was busily doing something.
Joseph had personally decocted the herbal medicine prescribed by the doctor just now for her.
The bitter smell spread in the air. Kathy immediately hid her head inside the blanket.
“I don’t want to take it, I want to sleep now!”
She hated drinking herbal medicine very much since young…
“You don’t want to find Grandpa tomorrow?” Joseph said with a poker face.
Kathy bit her lip and frowned in distress.
It seemed like she still refused to move her head out of the blanket.
Joseph reached out his hand and pulled the blanket away.
“Mrs. Joseph, you want me to feed you, right?” Joseph moved his body closer to her.
Kathy’s face felt slightly itchy due to his breath.
Kathy’s cheeks flushed. Before she could react, Joseph already clasped her jaw.
Seeing him drink the herbal medicine, Kathy’s eyes widened.
And in the next second, he kissed her and the herbal medicine was all delivered into her mouth.
“……”
The numbing feeling spread in her mouth. Even though the medicine was bitter, she could somehow
feel some sweetness.
Joseph slowly delivered the medicine into her mouth and Kathy finally could not take it anymore.
She stopped him and took the medicine bowl.
“I’ll drink it by myself!”
Joseph curled his lips in satisfaction, “Good.”
After she finished taking the medicine, Joseph took out candy like a juggler. Kathy stared at him without
blinking her eyes.
It was White Rabbit candy!
Some memories in the past flashed through Kathy’s mind.
“Nah, this candy is for you, don’t be angry.”
“Candy is for girls, I’m a boy!”
“Why you act so melodramatically, it’s just candy. This candy is delicious, you can choose to take it or
leave it.”
At the moment she unwrapped the candy, the boy reached out his hand and grabbed it from her hand.
She was furious and chased after him, “Are you purposely doing this just to trick me into unwrapping
the candy for you…”
“…”
“Mrs. Joseph?”
Seeing Kathy trancing, Joseph frowned.
Kathy sagged her eyes and smiled indifferently, “It’s been a long time since the last time I ate it.”
“Girls will like it,” said Joseph.
“Yeah, I like this very much.”
She slowly unwrapped the candy but in the next second, Joseph reached out his hand, “Let me try your
favourite candy.”
After saying, the sugar was already in his mouth.
Kathy was slightly angry. She subconsciously approached him and tried to get the candy back.
Joseph knew what was her intention and just closed his eyes, “Kiss me if you want to get back the
sugar.”
“Joseph, you’re a pill!” Kathy was depressed and froze suddenly as something raced through her mind.
Joseph who was standing in front of her suddenly looked like the little boy in her memory who had said
‘kiss me then I’ll give you the candy back’.
She immediately shook her head and thought it was impossible that Joseph was the little boy.
Joseph was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, so he was not possible to be the abandoned child in
the orphanage.
Out of the blue, her lips felt a familiar feeling. Joseph returned the sugar to her through his mouth.
He said in a low voice, “I have finished trying it, you’re actually even sweeter.”
Kathy looked at Joseph and felt that Joseph’s eyes looked very attractive.
His eyes were so attractive that she could not bear herself anymore.
She clasped his jaw and kissed him proactively.
She wanted to share the sweetness with him…
…
The next day, Joseph checked Kathy’s body temperature.
It was back to a normal range.
Kathy opened her eyes and was unwilling to recover from fever so quickly.
She was going to meet her grandpa.
Thinking of this, she did not feel good.
