All these were too shocking for her.<\/p>\n<p>She could not believe it.<\/p>\n<p>A Maybach slowly stopped beside her. Joseph got out of the car.<\/p>\n<p>He clasped Kathy\u2019s wrist and embraced her tightly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMrs. Joseph.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy\u2019s eyes sagged and her face looked as white as a sheet.<\/p>\n<p>She regained her presence of mind only after being carried into the car.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI only want to know who am I\u2026\u201d she murmured.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re Mrs. Joseph, Kathy, you belong to the Joseph family.\u201d Joseph held her hand with great strength.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph was nervous.<\/p>\n<p>However, Kathy shook her head and pushed Joseph away.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She was panicked and felt helpless at that moment. She looked at Joseph, \u201cI want to go to the house of the Hilton family.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Joseph did not bring her there but brought her to Joseph Bay.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy looked at him blankly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHave a rest first. When you calm down, I\u2019ll go to the house of the Hilton family with you,\u201d Joseph said in a deep voice.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy nodded. She was extremely perplexed in mind so she would not know what to say when she met Jennifer.<\/p>\n<p>After taking a bath, Kathy lay in bed and closed her eyes. What came to her mind was her childhood memories.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDad, I saw a very good-looking boy today, can we bring him home\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDad only needs one mischief-maker like you being around\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut he\u2019s really good-looking.

Let\u2019s go home\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy suddenly opened her eyes. She could not remember the boy\u2019s face anymore since long ago but many years later, she would still miss him.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy shook her head and was a little more awake. She took her phone and realized there were several missed calls.<\/p>\n<p>It was Grandpa.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy dialed back.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know everything\u2019s too abrupt for you today,\u201d Zack\u2019s old voice sounded, \u201cKathy, Grandpa\u2019s only left with a short time to live, I hope you can spend more time with me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy sagged her eyes and her shoulders were slightly trembling.<\/p>\n<p>Although Grandpa was one of the factors that caused her to be abandoned last time, she still could not be mad at him.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever that had passed was no longer important.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlright.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen I\u2019ll send someone to pick you up tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After hanging up the phone, Kathy\u2019s pupils lifted and Joseph had just finished taking a shower.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy grandpa\u2026\u201d Kathy\u2019s voice was quivering, \u201cI\u2019ll take tomorrow off and go to see him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlright, I\u2019ll go with you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy shook her head as she did not want to get him involved.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can just go on my own,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMrs. Joseph, I\u2019m your husband, you have to trust me.\u201d Joseph\u2019s voice sounded serious.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGive me some space, can?\u201d Kathy shook her head resolutely.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph did not utter a word but just turned around and entered the study.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy knew that he was angry.<\/p>\n<p>But she was having a mess in her mind now so she just wanted to be alone.<\/p>\n<p>When she fell asleep, space next to her on the bed was still empty.<\/p>\n<p>In the study, Joseph did not get any information about the Booth family through the investigation.<\/p>\n<p>However, Jennifer had owned some businesses and based on this clue, he was able to somewhat find out something.<\/p>\n<p>The Booth family in O country\u2026<\/p>\n<p>He narrowed his eyes and his eyes looked cold and sharp.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>When Joseph was trying to place her body properly, his expression changed when he felt Kathy\u2019s body temperature.<\/p>\n<p>He placed his palm on her forehead. It was even hotter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMrs. Joseph!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Without hesitation, he called the private doctor to come over. Kathy opened her eyes in a daze.<\/p>\n<p>What was wrong with her\u2026<\/p>\n<p>She felt so hot that she vigorously pulled off the pajamas she was wearing,<\/p>\n<p>Joseph held her wrist and quickly said, \u201cDon\u2019t move!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Didn\u2019t she know how alluring she was at that moment!<\/p>\n<p>At the moment she unwrapped the candy, the boy reached out his hand and grabbed it from her hand.<\/p>\n<p>She was furious and chased after him, \u201cAre you purposely doing this just to trick me into unwrapping the candy for you\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMrs. Joseph?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Seeing Kathy trancing, Joseph frowned.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy sagged her eyes and smiled indifferently, \u201cIt\u2019s been a long time since the last time I ate it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGirls will like it,\u201d said Joseph.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah, I like this very much.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She slowly unwrapped the candy but in the next second, Joseph reached out his hand, \u201cLet me try your favourite candy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After saying, the sugar was already in his mouth.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy was slightly angry. She subconsciously approached him and tried to get the candy back.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph knew what was her intention and just closed his eyes, \u201cKiss me if you want to get back the sugar.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJoseph, you\u2019re a pill!\u201d Kathy was depressed and froze suddenly as something raced through her mind.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph who was standing in front of her suddenly looked like the little boy in her memory who had said \u2018kiss me then I\u2019ll give you the candy back\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>She immediately shook her head and thought it was impossible that Joseph was the little boy.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, so he was not possible to be the abandoned child in the orphanage.<\/p>\n<p>Out of the blue, her lips felt a familiar feeling. Joseph returned the sugar to her through his mouth.<\/p>\n<p>He said in a low voice, \u201cI have finished trying it, you\u2019re actually even sweeter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy looked at Joseph and felt that Joseph\u2019s eyes looked very attractive.<\/p>\n<p>His eyes were so attractive that she could not bear herself anymore.<\/p>\n<p>She clasped his jaw and kissed him proactively.<\/p>\n<p>She wanted to share the sweetness with him\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u2026<\/p>\n<p>The next day, Joseph checked Kathy\u2019s body temperature.<\/p>\n<p>It was back to a normal range.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy opened her eyes and was unwilling to recover from fever so quickly.<\/p>\n<p>She was going to meet her grandpa.<\/p>\n<p>Thinking of this, she did not feel good.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-920","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/920","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=920"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
