Joseph had just put on medicine for her.<\/p>\n<p>She rolled over and opened her eyes, and the spot next to her was empty.<\/p>\n<p>But the memories from last night echoed clearly in her mind.<\/p>\n<p>The corners of her mouth drifted upward, the soreness from her body reminded her of last night&#8217;s madness.<\/p>\n<p>At that moment, a footstep came from outside the door, and Kathy subconsciously hid under the blanket.<\/p>\n<p>She was blushing red like a tomato.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph had already sensed that she was awake, and his gentle voice sounded above her head, &#8220;It&#8217;s time for lunch.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The blanket was taken down, and Kathy looked at him with an innocent expression.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy&#8217;s expression was so innocent that it was hard to resist.<\/p>\n<p>He lowered his head and kissed the ardent red little person that he loved.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy stared at him for a long while before she got used to it.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph had already backed away before she was satisfied with it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Want me to carry you down?&#8221; He raised an eyebrow.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy was embarrassed and immediately got out of bed to put on her shoes.<\/p>\n<p>But she didn&#8217;t notice the injury on her foot, and when she stepped on the floor, it hurt like hell!<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It seems that I still have to carry you.&#8221; After that, Joseph picked her up across the room.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy looked downwards at her injured ankle. Her small face buried in Joseph&#8217;s arms.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When did you put the medicine on for me?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Morning.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I can walk on my own.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>There were at the Booth family mansion, it was not like they were at the Joseph Bay where there was only the two of them.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m worried,&#8221; Joseph said coldly.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Nothing to be worried, I&#8217;ll walk slowly.&#8221; Kathy looked at Joseph expectantly.<\/p>\n<p>But he was unmoved.<\/p>\n<p>When he came to the living room, Zack Booth had also just come from the secondary Building<\/p>\n<p>The Booth Family Mansion had two buildings, the main building was mainly for entertaining guests, and the second building was where Zack lived.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy was temporarily living in the main building.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What&#8217;s going on here?&#8221; Zack looked at his granddaughter being held and frowned.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Mrs Joseph sprained her foot last night and has trouble walking,&#8221; Joseph replied.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ll have the doctor come over and take a look.&#8221; With that, Zack had ordered the butler.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Grandpa, no, no, I&#8217;m fine.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Kathy sat down. It was just a small injury.<\/p>\n<p>Zack was so nervous, &#8220;We need to have the doctor look at it, so don&#8217;t go back today until your foot is better.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Kathy looked at Joseph, but he didn&#8217;t object.<\/p>\n<p>After lunch, Zack made the unprecedented move of asking Joseph to accompany him for a walk in the garden, while Kathy had to rest in her room because of her foot injury.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Grandpa.&#8221; Joseph was holding Zack while walking.<\/p>\n<p>The golf course on the back hill had just been cleaned. Zack sat down.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;How&#8217;s the investigation into yesterday&#8217;s incident going?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Grandfather, the police investigated the theft of the sapphire. The culprits did come in the castle and tried to pin the blame on the Booth family.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>But so far, there were no more clues.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Bastards! Our Booth family has not been in  City N all these years, let alone made any enemies, so how could there be such a ridiculous thing!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Those people, are they targeting you?&#8221; Zack looked at Joseph with a sharp gaze.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Grandfather, I will uncover the person behind the scheme.&#8221; Joseph frowned. &#8220;In three days, I want results. It was my granddaughter&#8217;s wedding yesterday, and look what all the fuss have done!&#8221; Zack didn&#8217;t lose his temper in front of Kathy because he didn&#8217;t want her to be sad.<\/p>\n<p>But in the face of the others, he couldn&#8217;t hide his anger!<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I will do it.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Since my granddaughter has chosen you, I&#8217;ll trust you, Joseph, don&#8217;t let me down,&#8221; Zack said in a deep voice.<\/p>\n<p>He was acquiescing to the marriage because of Kathy.<\/p>\n<p>But if Joseph dared to do anything to harm Kathy, he wouldn&#8217;t stand idly by.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;By the way, why didn&#8217;t I see you last night,&#8221; Kathy asked.<\/p>\n<p>Alexia paused when she heard the question, her face expression was a bit unnatural.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Johnson took me away.&#8221; She whispered.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Then what? What happened?&#8221; Kathy had a bad feeling about this.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Nothing happened, just catching up on old times.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You still can&#8217;t put him down,&#8221; Kathy said with certainty.<\/p>\n<p>She hadn&#8217;t heard her cheerful laughter for a long time after her marriage.<\/p>\n<p>She became increasingly depressed.<\/p>\n<p>Alexia pursed her lips as a sort of a yes.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But we&#8217;ll never be together.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It was close to midnight when they arrived back at Joseph Bay. Kathy was sleepy, she closed her eyes in the car and fell asleep.<\/p>\n<p>When Kathy woke up, she was already being carried back to the bedroom by Joseph.<\/p>\n<p>She opened her eyes, &#8220;Why didn&#8217;t you wake me up.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Even if I wake you up, I&#8217;m still carrying you up, so it&#8217;s better that you continue to sleep and be quiet.&#8221; Joseph bit his lips and said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You mean that I\u2019m usually very long-winded?&#8221; Kathy deliberately asked.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Mrs Joseph, don&#8217;t misinterpret me.&#8221; Joseph laughed.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy hugged Joseph and asked him, &#8220;How is Johnson doing lately?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Joseph frowned, &#8220;Why are you talking about him.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Well, I&#8217;m just asking. He still seems to be having feelings for Alexia.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Well, he&#8217;s been travelling to and from Country A a lot lately.&#8221; Joseph didn&#8217;t deny it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Doesn&#8217;t he have a fianc\u00e9e!&#8221; Kathy was angry.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He doesn&#8217;t like his fianc\u00e9e.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So if he doesn&#8217;t like it, can&#8217;t he just break off the engagement?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Kathy was really worried about Alexia. Something terrible would happen if he and Alexia continue to dally.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-944","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/944","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=944"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
