Chapter 270
\nMy Sweetheart novel Chapter 270<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you agree?\u201d Veronica raised her eyebrows.<\/p>\n
\u201cYes. He doesn\u2019t look focused. Maybe, to him, she\u2019s no different from others,\u201d Kathy answered calmly.<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you not willing to marry my brother? Because it seems so.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course not. Joseph is impeccable from his status to his personality. There\u2019s nothing to dislike about him.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re right. That\u2019s why many girls like him,\u201d Veronica agreed.<\/p>\n
Her personality was similar to Kathy\u2019s.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think I spoke too much. I must have been bored spending a long time not being able to come out. Now that I\u2019m out, I feel relaxed,\u201d Veronica continued, \u201c I will go back too my room first. I don\u2019t feel well.\u201d<\/p>\n
Looking at her shadow, Kathy looked down at her feet.<\/p>\n
Even though she\u2019s wearing a skirt, she had a pair of prosthetic legs.<\/p>\n
She\u2019s just in her early twenties, but she didn\u2019t have the enthusiasm that she\u2019s supposed to have at her age.<\/p>\n
At night, her grandfather asked her to stay back for dinner. However, Joseph left as he had business. He would pick her up when he\u2019s done.<\/p>\n
Kathy sighed in relief when she knew that Diego wouldn\u2019t be around. She\u2019s not afraid of him, but she didn\u2019t want to be with him either.<\/p>\n
Joseph came back after finishing his job. He went up to Veronica\u2019s room after knowing that she came back.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy are you messing around?\u201d He asked her angrily.<\/p>\n
Veronica lifted her head and looked at her brother. Her lips curved into a smile as she spoke, \u201cBrother, I finally meet you.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy did you come back?\u201d Joseph remained strict.<\/p>\n
She asked him, \u201cDon\u2019t you want to see me?\u201d<\/p>\n
Joseph went silent. He felt pity for her.<\/p>\n
\u201cI know that you\u2019re worry about me. However, I can\u2019t hide from him forever, can I?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI will still be worried about you.\u201d Joseph looked serious.<\/p>\n
However, Veronica smiled and said, \u201cThis happened a long time ago so don\u2019t be too worried about it. I just want to attend your wedding. He won\u2019t be around.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHe is.\u201d<\/p>\n
Veronica\u2019s expression slightly changed.<\/p>\n
\u201cI will protect myself this time.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cVeronica.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBrother, let me attend your wedding, please?\u201d She desperately begged her brother.<\/p>\n
\u201cGo back immediately after the wedding,\u201d Joseph sighed.<\/p>\n
Veronica grinned and nodded her head.<\/p>\n
Joseph\u2019s expression remained tense on the way back home.<\/p>\n
Kathy looked at him. He seemed to not be in a good mood after meeting Veronica.<\/p>\n
\u201cIs there anything wrong?\u201d<\/p>\n
Joseph didn\u2019t say anything. Instead, he drove the car faster.<\/p>\n
Kathy held onto the door until they reached home.<\/p>\n
This was the first time Joseph drove past the speed limit.<\/p>\n
Even though he had good driving skills, but it\u2019s still too much for Kathy\u2026<\/p>\n
She immediately opened the door and left the car. It was only then Joseph came to his senses. He immediately went over to her and hugged her.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m sorry.\u201d He still seemed stressed out.<\/p>\n
\u201cCan you tell me what happened?\u201d Kathy asked while looking at him.<\/p>\n
His eyes slightly dropped.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy heart sank when I saw Veronica.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat happened to her leg?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThree years ago, she tried committing suicide. She was saved after that, but her lower body remained disabled for life.\u201d Joseph explained.<\/p>\n
Kathy was taken aback. Suicide\u2026<\/p>\n
She looked at the scars on her wrists. She could relate to that feeling.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe will recover from it.\u201d Kathy tried to console him.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe mental scar will remain there forever.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, the reason you didn\u2019t want her to come back to City N, is because that happened when she was here?\u201d She guessed.<\/p>\n
Joseph didn\u2019t respond, which meant that he agreed.<\/p>\n
Kathy then stopped asking further. She knew that, this incident had not only hurt Veronica, it also made Joseph mad.<\/p>\n
\u201cI didn\u2019t know that she would be here.\u201d Billy raised his eyebrows.<\/p>\n
Veronica, her family members wouldn\u2019t let her come back to City N that easily.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t care whether you know it or not, but don\u2019t get involved in any of their matters.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSay mom, am I your real son? Ever since Kathy came back, I felt like an outsider,\u201d he said coldly.<\/p>\n
Jennifer\u2019s expression slightly changed, \u201cDon\u2019t spout nonsense. Now that Veronica is back, don\u2019t go around and create trouble.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was not my fault that that incident happened.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cEven if it\u2019s not you, don\u2019t get involved in any of the family matters!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat if I want to?\u201d Billy raised his eyebrows and smiled coldly.<\/p>\n
\u201cI won\u2019t let you live in City N.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI see that you will really do anything for your precious daughter.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBilly, now that City N is peaceful, I don\u2019t want anything bad to happen.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMom, they still remember what happened that year. Don\u2019t forget that they still want to hurt you.\u201d Billy warned.<\/p>\n
Jennifer\u2019s face turned white. At that time, she prescribed the wrong medicine. Even though there\u2019s no evidence, it didn\u2019t mean that it didn\u2019t have anything to do with Joseph\u2019s family.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou think that they are not like that.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat do you think of doing?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAs long as Joseph doesn\u2019t do anything, I won\u2019t do anything.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cPlease don\u2019t hurt Kathy in the process.\u201d She sighed.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe\u2019s my sister. I love her. Of course I won\u2019t hurt her.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jennifer\u2019s expression turned even sour after hearing it.<\/p>\n
Jennifer was nervous after being called by Jack.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat happened? What about the dinner?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cVeronica came back. Billy was there too.\u201d<\/p>\n
She never expected this to happen.<\/p>\n
But who would have expected Veronica to come back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-936","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/936","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=936"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
