âConfess?â
Joseph was driving the car, âMedical history? You also have depression?â
His words made Hayden speechless. She simply asked him in a joking manner, âWhat if I have too? Maybe I knew Alayna from the patient group.â
âWhat if you have it too?â Joseph glanced at her, as if he was trying to confirm something, âDo you want to hear the truth?â
âEverything is nonsense, except for the truth.â
Joseph pondered for a moment and slowed down the car, âIf you also have depression, I am not as troublesome as Kevin. I have no parents and my grandpa is almost 80 years old...â
âTouch wood!â
Hayden could not continue listening, âHurry up and say âtouch woodâ! If your grandpa knows that you curse him like this, he will give you a kick.â
âAging and dying are the common things in life.â Joseph said as if he was talking about the weather.
âForget it, asking you is just a waste of time.â Hayden felt a little helpless. Joseph was a person who would not show any expression on his face even if the sky collapsed in front of him. He wouldnât act like Kevin as if the world was gonna end. So, what was the point for her to ask him this?
âWhat were you trying to tell me just now?â Joseph sped up the car. There was still some distance to go before they could reached Haydenâs apartment. Looking at the speed dial, Hayden frowned, âItâs not very important, letâs talk about it when we get home.â
A sense of complexity flashed across Josephâs eyes.
In fact, from the moment Hayden said that she wanted to confess something, he instantly related it to the man named Edison.
If Hayden could confess everything by herself, then the problem that was straddling between the two of them was not a problem anymore.
After 30 minutes of drive, the car stopped at the entrance of the apartment building. Joseph sighed lightly.
Hayden leaned against the seat of the car and fell asleep, showing no signs of waking up.
...
Joseph did what he had promised. He freed himself from his work for one whole week and took care of Hayden everyday in 24 hours.
However, from the third day onwards, Hayden started to regret that she had made this request.
The reason was that Joseph was really a boring person. Everyday, he would stay at home and read some books. If not, he would bring her to visit the two children. He was not even willing to go downstairs to walk around the neighbourhood.
âWhatâs wrong with you to go downstairs for a walk? Donât you get bored staying in the house with me everyday?â
Hayden looked at the man in the sofa. She sounded rather helpless.
âI go alone?â Joseph raised his head from his book and looked at her.
âOr else what?â Hayden pointed at her leg, âYou couldnât expect my crippled leg to go somewhere with you, could you? Please spare me.â
âItâs not impossible.â
The legal book which looked obscure and abstruse was closed in a snap.
After more then ten minutes, Josephâs assistant, Magnus, came and left a brand new wheelchair after he confirmed that Joseph really wouldnât attend the board meeting this time.
âIt was originally prepared for grandpa, but now itâs being used in advance.â
When she heard Joseph saying this, Hayden almost spurted out a mouthful of water.
Then, Hayden was reluctantly pushed out of the house by Joseph.
It was September, and it had just rained. When the wind blew, it became a bit cold.
Joseph was very considerate by putting a blanket on Haydenâs legs. In the elevator, Hayden couldnât help to look at the mirror. She felt that she was like a handicapped with amputees.
Her thoughts were confirmed when she met the nosy aunties of the neighborhood. They took turns to come forward and care for her.
âHey, isnât this Miss Downey from the 22nd floor? What happened to your leg? Are you okay?â
Hayden explained all the way that she only had burns. At last, her lips was nearly worn out.
âLetâs go.â She looked at Joseph ingratiatingly.
It was really unacceptable to simply make requests. Initially, she just wished that Joseph could come out for a walk, but she was the one who suffered at last. Why was that so?
âOkay, where to go?â
Joseph also disliked being interrupted when having walks. He wanted to change a place to continue this kind of âromanceâ.
âWhatever. Anywhere will do. There is a supermarket over there and a park beside it.â
âThe park is similar to the neighbourhood here.â
âThen letâs go to the supermarket.â Hayden covered her face nervously, âI guess no one will know me at the supermarket.â
âWell, eggs are all used up , weâll go and buy some,â said Joseph in a serious manner.
Hayden glanced at him, âCan you not buy eggs? What else do you know how to cook besides hard boiled eggs?â
Previously, Joseph said that he knows how to cook, but the result was that he boiled ten eggs, all of them were fully cooked, hard boiled eggs.
Hayden nearly choked to death when she tried to finish them.
When he heard that his cooking skills were disliked, Joseph pushed the wheelchair while walking and pondered for a while, âI can also try to cook other dishes. I studied the recipe last night, itâs not too difficult.â
Hayden glanced at him with contempt, âIs that so? Then let me learn what your ânot too difficultâ actually meant.â
For a newbie in cooking, did he had a concept about how much oil and salt should be added into the food?
The vegetable area.
Joseph carried a plastic container, which contained shredded potatoes and green pepper in it. He asked Hayden to confirm his selection, âThese can be made into green pepper potato shreds, right?â
âYes.â Hayden responded sluggishly. She pulled her lips open and said, âBuying ready-cut and prepared dishes is what you call cooking, huh?â
âSave time, the supermarket has a good marketing strategy.â
Joseph put the container into the small trolley. He pushed the trolley with one hand, and pushed the wheelchair with another hand.
âYou push the trolley. I can deal with my wheelchair by myself.â Before Hayden could get hold of the two wheels on both sides, a childish girlâs voice sounded behind her.
âAuntie, I can help.â
Hayden turned around and saw a five or six-year-old girl with two braids was standing behind her wheelchair. She was holding the wheelchair with two hands and had an innocent look on her face.
Behind her were her parents.
The young mother, who was particularly gentle at first glance, apologized when she saw the situation.
âSorry,â she frowned and pretended to be angry at her daughter, âSophie, let go quickly. You canât do this.â
âAuntie canât walk, I want to help.â
Hayden lowered her head, she felt a little embarrassed.
âSophie, how can you talk like that?" The young mother's face went white, âDo you know that you canât just talk about other peopleâs... Come here quickly.â
âHmm...â Hayden looked at the little girl, who was aggrieved for being scolded, she couldnât help but interrupt.
âActually, Iâm just temporarily injured, it will be fine soon.â
She looked at the little girl lovingly, "You want to help me, right?"
âYes.â The little girl nodded her head.
"Then could you please push me to the place over there where they sell candy?"
The little girl hesitantly glanced at her mother.
The young mother, after all, was also so concerned about Hayden's ego, nodded and said, "Be careful, don't push too fast. "
âI know.â As she said this, the little girl pushed Hayden towards the candy stall.
âThis chocolate is delicious.â
