âDo you agree?â Veronica raised her eyebrows.
âYes. He doesnât look focused. Maybe, to him, sheâs no different from others,â Kathy answered calmly.
âAre you not willing to marry my brother? Because it seems so.â
âOf course not. Joseph is impeccable from his status to his personality. Thereâs nothing to dislike about him.â
âYouâre right. Thatâs why many girls like him,â Veronica agreed.
Her personality was similar to Kathyâs.
âI think I spoke too much. I must have been bored spending a long time not being able to come out. Now that Iâm out, I feel relaxed,â Veronica continued, â I will go back too my room first. I donât feel well.â
Looking at her shadow, Kathy looked down at her feet.
Even though sheâs wearing a skirt, she had a pair of prosthetic legs.
Sheâs just in her early twenties, but she didnât have the enthusiasm that sheâs supposed to have at her age.
At night, her grandfather asked her to stay back for dinner. However, Joseph left as he had business. He would pick her up when heâs done.
Kathy sighed in relief when she knew that Diego wouldnât be around. Sheâs not afraid of him, but she didnât want to be with him either.
Joseph came back after finishing his job. He went up to Veronicaâs room after knowing that she came back.
âWhy are you messing around?â He asked her angrily.
Veronica lifted her head and looked at her brother. Her lips curved into a smile as she spoke, âBrother, I finally meet you.â
âWhy did you come back?â Joseph remained strict.
She asked him, âDonât you want to see me?â
Joseph went silent. He felt pity for her.
âI know that youâre worry about me. However, I canât hide from him forever, can I?â
âI will still be worried about you.â Joseph looked serious.
However, Veronica smiled and said, âThis happened a long time ago so donât be too worried about it. I just want to attend your wedding. He wonât be around.â
âHe is.â
Veronicaâs expression slightly changed.
âI will protect myself this time.â
âVeronica.â
âBrother, let me attend your wedding, please?â She desperately begged her brother.
âGo back immediately after the wedding,â Joseph sighed.
Veronica grinned and nodded her head.
Josephâs expression remained tense on the way back home.
Kathy looked at him. He seemed to not be in a good mood after meeting Veronica.
âIs there anything wrong?â
Joseph didnât say anything. Instead, he drove the car faster.
Kathy held onto the door until they reached home.
This was the first time Joseph drove past the speed limit.
Even though he had good driving skills, but itâs still too much for Kathy...
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.
âIâm sorry.â He still seemed stressed out.
âCan you tell me what happened?â Kathy asked while looking at him.
His eyes slightly dropped.
âMy heart sank when I saw Veronica.â
âWhat happened to her leg?â
âThree years ago, she tried committing suicide. She was saved after that, but her lower body remained disabled for life.â Joseph explained.
Kathy was taken aback. Suicide...
She looked at the scars on her wrists. She could relate to that feeling.
âShe will recover from it.â Kathy tried to console him.
âThe mental scar will remain there forever.â
âSo, the reason you didnât want her to come back to City N, is because that happened when she was here?â She guessed.
Joseph didnât respond, which meant that he agreed.
Kathy then stopped asking further. She knew that, this incident had not only hurt Veronica, it also made Joseph mad.
...
It was the weekends. Kathy went to her house early in the morning.
Her grandfather wasnât feeling well, so after chatting with him for a while, she accompanied her mom to the restaurant.
She didnât expect Billy to come too.
As Kathy came down from the car, Billy walked over from afar.
Kathy looked annoyed. âWhy are you here?â
âSis, why didnât you inform me about the dinner?â Billy smiled coldly.
âBilly, go back.â Jenniferâs expression changed.
Billy ignored her and said, âMom, donât be bias. I am your son too.â
âYou only bring trouble.â
âI guarantee that I wonât this time.â
At the same time, Josephâs family arrived.
Joseph was supporting Veronica as they walked. When he saw Billy, his expression turned sour.
Veronicaâs face turned pale.
They had different thoughts at the entrance of the restaurant.
âWeâll leave.â Joseph turned around to leave, and wanted to drag Veronica with him.
Matthew raised his eyebrows, agreeing with Joseph.
âGrandson-in-law, my granddaughter is not feeling well. Iâm afraid that we canât eat this dinner together.â
Matthew was angry too.
Her grandfather was always a humble and caring person to her, but this was the first time Kathy saw his angry side.
She looked at Billy.
Was it because of him?
âKathy, sorry that you have to come here for nothing. You should go back.â
After Kathy went into the car, Jennifer turned towards Billy.
âDid you do this on purpose?â Jennifer asked coldly.
âI didnât know that she would be here.â Billy raised his eyebrows.
Veronica, her family members wouldnât let her come back to City N that easily.
âI donât care whether you know it or not, but donât get involved in any of their matters.â
âSay mom, am I your real son? Ever since Kathy came back, I felt like an outsider,â he said coldly.
Jenniferâs expression slightly changed, âDonât spout nonsense. Now that Veronica is back, donât go around and create trouble.â
âIt was not my fault that that incident happened.â
âEven if itâs not you, donât get involved in any of the family matters!â
âWhat if I want to?â Billy raised his eyebrows and smiled coldly.
âI wonât let you live in City N.â
âI see that you will really do anything for your precious daughter.â
âBilly, now that City N is peaceful, I donât want anything bad to happen.â
âMom, they still remember what happened that year. Donât forget that they still want to hurt you.â Billy warned.
Jenniferâs face turned white. At that time, she prescribed the wrong medicine. Even though thereâs no evidence, it didnât mean that it didnât have anything to do with Josephâs family.
âYou think that they are not like that.â
âWhat do you think of doing?â
âAs long as Joseph doesnât do anything, I wonât do anything.â
âPlease donât hurt Kathy in the process.â She sighed.
âSheâs my sister. I love her. Of course I wonât hurt her.â
Jenniferâs expression turned even sour after hearing it.
Jennifer was nervous after being called by Jack.
âWhat happened? What about the dinner?â
âVeronica came back. Billy was there too.â
She never expected this to happen.
But who would have expected Veronica to come back.
