Kathy bit her lips. She did not want to get angry with Joseph because of Zofia.
Perhaps she could go back to the Booths' this week. And then Zofia could live there with her.
"Then I'll go back to the Booths' with Zofia."
"No, stay in the Joseph Bay." Joseph frowned.
Kathy was stunned. She knew that Joseph had compromised when she saw his stern face.
So, she held his arm intimately. "Mr Joseph, I know you're the best."
Joseph's face lighted up a bit, but there was still something cold moving in his eyes.
Kathy came back in the evening after school. As the servants came to the Joseph Bay, dinner was
ready when she returned. Joseph had an operation tonight, so he probably wouldn't get back until late
at night.
Zofia sat on the sofa and was watching TV. But she just stared at it blankly. She seemed to be absent-
minded.
Kathy was very worried, so she walked over. "Zofia."
Zofia turned around. Her face was very pale. After the hangover, she looked even worse.
Suddenly, Zofia's phone rang. It was Sonny.
He hadn't given up looking for Zofia, but Zofia never answered the phone.
Now Zofia picked up her phone and put Sonny's number on the blacklist. She looked very calm while
doing this.
"Did you and Sonny really break up?"
"Yeah," Zofia said indifferently.
Kathy knew Zofia used to love Sonny very much.
Therefore, she was very surprised that Zofia looked so calm now.
Last night at the bar, was she drunk for Sonny or for that innocent child?
Kathy did not know the answer.
Now Zofia was like a stranger to her.
"I didn't love him anymore when I got pregnant. So, I wouldn't keep the child."
Seeing Kathy's surprised face, Zofia smiled weakly. "Do you think I'm heartless?"
"No. But it's your child. It's just that he didn't come at the right time," Kathy muttered.
"Yeah. I know," Zofia said solemnly and looked quite upset.
"My family doesn't know about it. Bertie kept it as a secret for me. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would have
left here." Her family did not like Sonny. If they knew that Zofia was pregnant with his child, not only
would Sonny be destroyed, Zofia should also leave the city.
"But you will see Sonny again at school. It's better to tell him everything than hide away from him,"
Kathy advised.
"I've told him. But he doesn't believe me. I don't love him anymore. Or I should say that I've never loved
him." Zofia lowered her head and hid her emotions.
Kathy was indeed very surprised at her words.
But she respected Zofia's decision.
"It's gonna be okay."
"Yeah. I will take back everything that belongs to me," Zofia said in a cold tone.
Late at night, Kathy was reading in the living room while waiting for Joseph.
Zofia came out in her nightgown and sat down beside Kathy.
"Joseph hasn't come back?"
"Yeah. He should be back soon."
"He's also in the Central Hospital. Why don't you intern with him?"
"I don't know why. But Reece becomes my mentor." Kathy was annoyed about it.
Apart from lessons at school, she had to work with Reece in the hospital all day long.
After saying that, Reece sent her a WeChat message. It was very late, so Kathy did not read it.
Zofia glanced at Kathy. "He must be chasing you."
"No." Kathy frowned, but she was even more distressed.
"Well, you have not married to Joseph anyway. You should get in touch with Reece more. Women must
be careful when they choose a lifetime partner. It was too irrational for you to marry Joseph quickly."
Kathy frowned. "But I'm glad that I made that decision. I don't regret marrying him."
At least, they did not miss each other.
And Kathy believed that they would get married one day and stay together forever.
"Reece is also a big shot. He is as good as Joseph. I'm telling you this because you are my friend.
Kathy, you must know a man well before you walk down the aisle," Zofia said earnestly.
"Think about it. Do you really know Joseph? Do you know all of his past?"
Kathy frowned. She had known Joseph for almost two years, and she thought she had known him very
well.
But she couldn't help but think about Zofia's words.
Until Joseph returned, Kathy looked up at him. She always felt that she understood him.
"You're back." Kathy ran over and hung on Joseph like a koala.
Joseph looked very tired. He hugged Kathy and found that she was barefoot.
His face immediately sunk. He carried her to the sofa and sat down. Then he picked up her slippers
and bent down to put them on her feet.
"Joseph, don't worry. We've got a carpet." Kathy muttered.
"It's cold too," Joseph insisted.
"Joseph, is there anything else that you haven't told me?" Kathy stared at him.
She was not suspecting him. She just wanted to know more about him.
She still didn't know how his childhood was like.
"What do you want to know?"
"Well, for example, your childhood...."
"I stayed in an orphanage," Joseph said in a deep and bland voice.
"What, an orphanage? Didn't you stay with your family?"
His words really surprised Kathy.
"When I was born, my mother sent me abroad because she was worried that I would be killed. But then
she felt that it was the safest for me to stay in an orphanage. So, I stayed there for five years."
Kathy was totally shocked. Her father used to work in an orphanage, so she often stayed there too.
Children in the orphanages always had some character flaws. And they found it difficult to play with
other children.
Kathy still remembered that cute boy who was always alone. But he had run from the orphanage and
got missing, which really gave her father a headache.
But Kathy could find him every time.
However, she lost track of him after he was taken away.
"Were you happy then?" Kathy asked with concern.
"Yeah," Joseph said with a faint smile.
He had some good memories there?
"That's good. All the children I've met there always looked unhappy." Kathy sighed.
Moreover, they were secretly competing because they all wanted to be adopted by a better family. It
was not a good thing for a child to grow up at such a young age.
"Really? I was like that too. I never laughed. But someone changed me." Joseph stared at Kathy
tenderly. He almost couldn't hide the deepest emotions hidden in his heart.
