"Insolent! You are, Zack Booth's granddaughter, how can you say such treacherous things!" Zack
slammed the table in anger.
As soon as the words were out of his mouth, his old face went pale, and he clutched his heart tightly in
distress.
"You are my granddaughter..." Zack's words became disjointed.
Jennifer and Bertie immediately held Zack and asked the doctor to come.
Kathy didn't say anything else, this time, she would not be softhearted.
She turned around and held Joseph's hand.
"Don't get a divorce, okay?" She looked at him expectantly.
She hated being threatened by people, especially the ones she trusted the most.
"Kathy, we should divorce," Joseph's look was undeniable
He pushed her away.
"I'll be fine, we'll go back to City N and there will be an antidote." Kathy gripped Joseph.
But once again, he pushed her away.
Her face was gradually becoming pale.
At this time, Bertie walked to Kathy's side, his face decisive, "Only the Booth family has an antidote, the
drug in your body is the Booth Group's unlisted drug, only the internal research and development
personnel have an antidote, don't risk your own body."
"It...it's impossible, why are you guys doing this to me..." Kathy's face surfaced with despair, and she
slowly squatted down, at the moment, the overwhelming despair made her almost breathless.
She didn't want a divorce. She just wanted to break away from the Booth family, break away from that
horrible family...
"You...Grandpa is doing this for your own good!" Zack took medicine and felt a little better, but he was
still very emotional.
Jennifer spoke worriedly, "Kathy, we are your closest ones. We won't hurt you."
After that, Jennifer called Bertie to bring Kathy to them.
As soon as Bertie touched her, Kathy immediately shook him off.
"I'm not staying!"
She looked at Joseph, "If you don't take me with you, then I'll leave by myself."
After she said that, she stubbornly left alone.
However, she was so weak and uncomfortable that she couldn't hold on and soon fell down in a heap.
Joseph clenched his fists, and when he wanted to go over, Bertie was one step ahead of him.
He picked her up, gave her no more opportunity to struggle, and took her up to a room.
"Bertie, let go of me!" Kathy kept hammering at him.
But Bertie did not move at all, holding her wrist, he said in a low voice, "Now Joseph does not want you
anymore, Kathy. You will be better when you sign the divorce agreement."
In the living room, Jennifer instructed the housekeeper to bring over the divorce documents.
"Mr Joseph, sign it."
Joseph looked down, and the coldness in his eyes spread inch by inch.
Holding the pen in his hand, he slowly signed his name.
Jennifer was relieved.
When she looked at her father, his emotions finally calmed down.
"From now on, Kathy has nothing to do with you."
As the words were said, she asked the butler to send him away.
Soon after, the divorce agreement was handed over to Kathy, who coldly looked at Joseph's signature
on it.
It was powerful and vigorous.
It was his handwriting.
Picking up the agreement, Kathy was about to shred it ruthlessly.
Bertie was aware of her intention and quickly stopped her.
"Kathy, listen to me, your body is important. Do you feel as if many ants are scratching at your heart
right now, and this will gradually spread to your whole body, can you stand it?"
"I can stand it. I won't sign it. You guys won't manipulate me!" Kathy angrily said.
She then tried to grab the agreement.
Bertie took hold of her wrist, bent down, and looked at her in the eyes, "I'm not threatening you, but if
you don't take the antidote, you'll die."
"After you die, you really won't be able to be with Joseph."
On hearing this, Kathy calmed down a bit.
She wrapped her arms tightly around herself and felt like there was not just a burning fire in her heart,
her heart was broken too.
If she hadn't been thinking about Joseph, she would have been unable to hold on.
But now, he was so quick to sign the divorce papers.
Was he doing it for her good?
Kathy's head was in a mess. If she signed it, would she still be able to be back with Joseph?
She really, really couldn't leave him.
Tears welled up in her eyes, and her body kept trembling as she watched Bertie hand over the divorce
agreement. She held the pen tremblingly.
Once she signed her name, she no longer had a relationship with Joseph.
She used to hope that she wouldn't get caught up in it so that she would not get a divorce one day.
But now the day had come so unexpectedly.
And she simply couldn't accept it.
"Kathy, your health matters, and Grandpa is right, he only married you because he is using you."
"Stop talking about it."
Kathy took a deep breath, wiped her tears, and signed her name.
She didn't want to think about the future, since Joseph had already decided for her, she obeyed him.
Bertie watched as Kathy signed her name, but there was no sense of relaxation.
Forcing her never pleased him.
Instead, there was an endless stream of self-loathing.
It was a feeling like no other.
"Rest for a while, Kathy."
Jennifer was outside, saw Bertie come out, and asked worriedly, "Did Kathy sign it?"
Bertie nodded, "Let the doctor come."
Going up to grandpa's room, Bertie handed over the agreement.
"Grandpa."
"Those who achieve great things can never be softhearted." Zack squinted, and his tone was quite
nippy.
Bertie looked down, "I'm afraid Kathy will hate us."
"I don't have much time left, she can hate as much as she wants, but later she will know the hardship of
her grandfather." Zack lamented.
…
After taking the antidote, Kathy was unconscious.
Jennifer stayed by her side and never left her side.
Until the night, Bertie came over, "Mrs Booth, you go have something to eat. I'll stay with Kathy."
"Okay, this child has suffered." A look of guilt appeared on Jennifer's face.
She disapproved of Zack's doing, but no one could stop him when he gets serious.
It wasn't until the midnight hours that Kathy woke up, opened her eyes, and saw a familiar room
Where was this place...
As the memories became clearer in her mind, her face went pale.
She and Joseph were divorced.
They were really divorced.
Turning her head, Bertie was beside her.
"You're all fine now."
But there was no joy, only an overwhelming sense of disappointment.
She sat up and realized that she still had a needle in her hand and was a little dizzy.
"You've been in a severe coma for a day, lie down first, and I'll let the doctor come and take a look."
Bertie saw how uncomfortable she was and called the doctor over.
Kathy was silent all the time, she didn't listen to what the doctor said, and all she could think about was
Joseph.
Joseph pushed her away indifferently.
He was the one who pushed her away.
He agreed to the divorce... he actually signed it.
Kathy's tears fell heavily, and she couldn't control them at all.
"Miss Kathy, you can't have too much mood swings, so rest." The doctor frowned and instructed.
Kathy never responded, she looked down and bit her lips.
