Chapter 908

Joseph was greeted by Sheryn standing outside when he lifted the flap of the tent.

His expression turned grim. “Is there anything I can help you with?”

Sheryn stared at him pitifully with wide eyes. “Mr. Field, I know I’m just a girl from the village, but… I don’t think Ms. Lynch should’ve bullied me like that.”

“Oh?” Joseph raised his eyebrows as he stared at her. “How did Lottie bully you?”

“She said… I’m a country bumpkin and not suited to come and take care of you, Mr. Field. She asked me to keep my distance from you.” As she said that, Sheryn held up her hands and rubbed her eyes, looking as though she was upset. Stubbornly but proudly, she added, “Mr. Field, I’m here to apologize to you. I’ll leave right away.”

“Is that so?” Joseph remained expressionless.

Secretly thrilled when she saw that Joseph did not scold her, Sheryn continued to slander Charlotte.

“I was helping in the medical bay with her. My arms were sore and tired from lifting patients. She thought I was bad at lifting patients and said that I wasn’t doing it properly and was causing everyone trouble.” The more Sheryn talked, the more aggrieved she sounded. “I’m sorry, Mr. Field… I shouldn’t have told you all these…”

“Then shut up.” Joseph could not bear to continue listening to her, and a glint of annoyance flashed across his eyes. Suddenly, his head started to hurt, and he held a hand to his forehead.

Sheryn’s voice sounded like a mosquito buzzing in his ears. It annoyed him like crazy.

“What’s wrong, Mr. Field?” Sheryn noticed the change in Joseph’s expression, so she stepped forward and looked up at him.

This man is so handsome and has such a great family background. He’s also graceful and elegant.

He’s so much more different from the other men I’ve met in the village.

Joseph felt dizzy. He blinked multiple times before he widened his eyes and stared at the woman before him. “Lottie…”

Then, he fell forward toward Sheryn. Delighted when she saw that, she quickly caught him in her embrace. “Mr. Field…”

Just then, Charlotte walked out of the medical bay. Looking up, she saw Joseph in Sheryn’s arms.

Her face paled as she stumbled backward, but she tripped on a rock and fell to the ground with a heavy thud.

Joseph quickly turned to see what was going on. He saw Charlotte on the ground and immediately turned back to look at Sheryn, who was staring at him with an affectionate gaze.

His mind was abuzz with chaos. What’s going on? Why am I hugging this stranger?

He quickly pushed Sheryn away and hurried toward Charlotte.

Charlotte bit her lip and looked up at the tall and handsome man with shock and panic written in her eyes.

“Y-You guys carry on…”

Joseph grabbed her arm and helped her up from the ground.

“Lottie, it’s not what you think.”

“Joseph… It’s time for you to start dating. You don’t need to explain anything to me,” Charlotte said, pretending to be relaxed. She then stood up and walked away with red, teary eyes.

However, she walked so fast with her head lowered that she did not even notice the path in front of her.

She tripped and twisted her ankle before falling into a mud puddle.

Damn it! Why is the floor bullying me too?

She banged her fists on the ground.

“What are you angry about?”

Joseph’s magnetic and deep voice rang from above her head.

She looked up and saw that Joseph was looking down at her.

Has he been following me this whole time?

She got angrier when she thought of that. “Go and accompany your little girlfriend. Don’t mind me.”

Joseph had been worried about her, but he could not help but chuckle when he heard her throwing a tantrum. “Lottie, are you jealous?”

Charlotte glared at him with wide eyes. This sc*mbag. He kissed me in his sleep.
