This was where Joseph once lived, and it felt familiar to her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf for my child afterwards, I would want to decorate a room so adorable for him too.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSure, then we should get remarried faster,\u201d Joseph added on to her words.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy stunned, every time Joseph mentioned about remarriage it always took her by surprise.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen we should plan properly,\u201d Kathy replied seriously.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes, plan to have how many children.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy was speechless.<\/p>\n<p>She decided to stop this subject!<\/p>\n<p>The following day, when Kathy woke up, the space beside her was already empty. According to usual practice, Joseph would wake up earlier than her to make breakfast.<\/p>\n<p>But this was not Joseph Bay, there were no ingredients.<\/p>\n<p>After she went off the bed to tidy herself, Kathy went out into the corridor and her footsteps stopped at the half-opened study.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph\u2019s back was facing the door, his tall silhouette facing the French windows, an ignited cigarette at his fingertips.<\/p>\n<p>This man was smoking in the early morning!<\/p>\n<p>She went in furious, as Kathy reached over and took Joseph\u2019s cigarette.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo smoking, Joseph!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She knew that Joseph had no habit of smoking. Normally, he would only smoke when there was something bothering him.<\/p>\n<p>But it was so early, so it still worried her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlright,\u201d Joseph turned around. His moody emotions had already been hidden by him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy don\u2019t you sleep for a bit more?\u201d Kathy was unhappy.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph pulled her into an embrace, his voice ringing in Kathy\u2019s ears, \u201cYou won\u2019t let Aaron go, right?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUmm.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe saved me before,\u201d Kathy mumbled.<\/p>\n<p>Before that she had thought that actually Aaron was not targeting her specifically. At least when her life was endangered, he was still willing to perform her surgery.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI helped him to get the position of deputy headmaster, that\u2019s why he was willing to perform the surgery,\u201d Joseph replied coldly.<\/p>\n<p>If it was not for this benefit, Aaron would not give his help.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI see. Joseph, I didn\u2019t know,\u201d Kathy looked at him.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph has done too much for her in silence.<\/p>\n<p>A lot of them Kathy only found out after.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou didn\u2019t need to know. If the result of everything turned out right in the end, it\u2019ll be enough,\u201d Joseph looked at her deeply.<\/p>\n<p>After John sent over the clothes and the new phone, he kept waiting outside.<\/p>\n<p>The car started slowly, but Joseph told John to go to the cemetery.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy had wanted to go back to the campus, but on second thought she decided to accompany Joseph.<\/p>\n<p>She was worried about letting him to be alone now.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph\u2019s mother, Hazel Clark was not buried at the cemetery of the Joseph family, but rather in a cemetery in the northside out of town.<\/p>\n<p>The dark sky eventually rained slightly. Joseph held an umbrella in one hand and in his other hand he held hands with Kathy, as they walked up the middle of the hill step by step.<\/p>\n<p>The man was dressed in a black shirt and black pants, his entire body radiated with a deeply chilling aura.<\/p>\n<p>On instinct, Kathy grasped back onto Joseph\u2019s hand.<\/p>\n<p>There was a photo of Hazel on the gravestone. It could be seen that the women\u2019s features were exquisite, and she was extremely beautiful.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph took the bunch of lilacs from John and knelt down slowly.<\/p>\n<p>And Kathy too, followed Joseph\u2019s actions. The two\u2019s hands were still intertwined.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMum, I\u2019m sorry, it was me who didn\u2019t protect you properly,\u201d Joseph\u2019s voice sounded heavy.<\/p>\n<p>The rain was getting heavier, John who was holding the umbrella could only cover Kathy. Joseph was long soaking wet.<\/p>\n<p>Since she did not turn, Joseph did not order for the driver to start driving.<\/p>\n<p>Although she could not see the interior of the car from the outside, but Kathy\u2019s gaze kept staring at the blacked out window. After a while, only she started walking back.<\/p>\n<p>Zofia had been alone in the room for a few days. When she saw Kathy back, she could not help but tease her, \u201cIf you keep not coming back, I would have thought you have eloped with Joseph.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy was speechless.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSomething happened to Joseph yesterday,\u201d Kathy frowned.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat happened?\u201d Zofia came over.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAaron sent someone to dig up Joseph\u2019s mother\u2019s grave,\u201d Kathy was unhappy.<\/p>\n<p>Something like this had happened, yet it seemed like she could not do anything to help Joseph.<\/p>\n<p>Zofia\u2019s eyes widened, apparently this shocked her too.<\/p>\n<p>Many knew that Aaron and Joseph were not seeing eye to eye. Further, two days ago Aaron had exposed Joseph\u2019s medical negligence incident from five years ago in front of the reporters. This had caused quite a commotion.<\/p>\n<p>Although there had already been quite a lot of the doctors who took part in the surgery that came out to clarify here and there, this incident still took an effect on Joseph\u2019s reputation.<\/p>\n<p>Further, most importantly, Joseph himself never came out to clear his name.<\/p>\n<p>But now, Aaron did something even more over the line.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKathy, five years ago, Dr Joseph was innocent right?\u201d asked Zofia.<\/p>\n<p>The internet had quite a dispute over this matter, but on instinct, Zofia too trusted Joseph.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes, I believe him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think Professor Aaron is out of his luck. He couldn\u2019t possibly afford to offend the Joseph now,\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Although Aaron was deputy headmaster now, but she heard some news from her brother that Joseph\u2019s influence was long assimilated into Ocean University. To drive Joseph away, it was something easy to do.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPray so, I\u2019m afraid that Aaron will continue to be so extreme,\u201d this was what Kathy was worried about.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAaron already has a bad reputation in campus, he had so much of negative news.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1125","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1125","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1125"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
