"Okay, I know. But Joseph, Fannie is just being stupid. Can you forgive her? She has been taken away by the police. Please speak on her behalf." Although Nancy seemed to be pleading, a hint of indifference was very evident in her voice.
It was clear that Joseph, as the victim, needed his justice. But Nancy knew that if he would not dismiss his case, Fannie would undoubtedly be jailed.
"Nancy, you don't have to beg me for this. I'll do as my brother says. You can call him. For now, I just want to sleep some more. I'm sorry, but I'm too tired," Joseph said lazily, pulling the quilt up to his chest to show that he was ready to take a rest.
"Well, have a good rest. I'm leaving." Hearing his evident dismissal back by his exhaustion, Nancy felt embarrassed to disturb him. So immediately, she walked out of the ward.
Once out in the corridor, she saw Daisy walking towards her way.
"Miss Yu?" she asked in a very reserved voice.
"Hello, Miss Ning! Are you here to visit Joseph?" Daisy, who flashed her a smile, asked.
"Yes, he is awake. You can go in. I'm leaving," Nancy answered nonchalantly and prepared to turn around.
It was very apparent how Daisy cared so much about Joseph. After facing a lot of adversities, the two finally got together.
It was definitely worth the long wait, a true happy ending.
"Okay," Daisy uttered before walking into the ward.
As soon as Joseph closed his eyes, he heard the door being clicked open. Thinking that it was still Nancy, he uttered with impatience, "Didn't I told you to look for Charles? Why are you still here, Nancy?"
"Joseph, it's me..." In a voice as soft as cotton candy, Daisy corrected him.
Hearing that, Joseph immediately opened his eyes and said, "Daisy, how could you come to see me?"
"What? Am I not allowed to visit you?" Confused, Daisy furrowed her brows tightly.
Last night, Joseph begged her to be his date, but she refused. They were divorced, and she didn't want to degrade herself by being with him. After all, she knew that people would still have something terrible to say to her if she got together with him.
So, even with his tempting proposal last night, Daisy went to bed early after rejecting him.
Ever since she lived with Joseph, Daisy noticed that he would often come home early whenever he attended social parties. And every time, she would prepare a warm bath for him.
However, that night, Joseph did not come back home.
He didn't say anything to Daisy, so she was left alone, wondering where he was.
And because she was worried, Daisy skipped dinner and instead turned on her phone, wanting to go to the filming location.
When she went downstairs, she accidentally heard the news about Joseph.
Immediately, her heart missed a beat. 'Joseph and Fannie?
What?! Fannie drugged him?
But why?! Joseph may be a playboy, but there was no need to drug him.
Was he the one who wanted it?' she thought.
The more Daisy thought about it, the angrier she became. However, after reading the comments online, she learned that Joseph was the victim. Thankfully, he called the police and was sent to the hospital.
'What the hell is going on?'
Clueless and worried at the same time, Daisy rushed to the hospital.
And now, she was face to face with Joseph, who looked utterly pale. It seemed as if all his blood was drawn out of his body.
A hint of guilt and pity was written all over Daisy’s face as she stared at him.
"Daisy, why are you looking at me like that?" Joseph asked, slightly surprised to see that reaction register on her delicate face.
