Billy pursed his lips and remained silent for a long time.
“I want to go out.” He said in a deep voice after pausing for a long while.
“Do you think it's possible? In addition to the crime of producing fake drugs, Joseph still has the
evidence of you raping Veronica a few years back in his hands, and these two crimes are enough to let
you rot in jail for the rest of your life.” Jennifer shook her head saying.
Billy sneered as he did not think that a day like this will come.
However, he was fully prepared for it.
“Kathy had an operation after the car accident. During the operation, a chip was implanted in her brain,
which can only be controlled by drugs and cannot be taken out."
“What?” Jennifer’s face suddenly turned pale.
“You think that I am lying to you? If you don't believe me, then watch as Kathy’s life starts being
threatened by this chip, her memory will gradually decline, and when all her memories are gone, she
will die.”
“You are talking nonsense!” Jennifer was so angry that she could not hold back.
She could not help but stood up, her eyes were red with anger as she stared at Billy with a deadly
glare.
However, he still remained as carefree as ever.
“Is that so? Then you should go out now, there is no need for us to discuss further.”
Jennifer wanted to leave, but her feet felt like as if they were stuck there and she could not move.
Her heart slowly turned cold.
“Why are you doing this?” She chose to sit down after thinking for a while.
“I know what Joseph is capable of, he won’t let me go, so I had to be the one to make the first move.”
Billy said in a deep voice.
Jennifer lowered her eyes and clenched her fists, but she was still trembling with fear.
She absolutely could not let anything happen to her daughter.
“All I can do is to help you reduce your sentence.” Jennifer said in a softer tone.
“Within three years.” Billy replied back.
“I will think of a way, so where is the medicine?” Jennifer asked nervously.
“It's in the third cabinet in the study room, but there's only a month's worth of medicine. After that, it all
depends on what you do, mom.” Billy showed a winning smile.
Jennifer did not know how she arrived back to the Hilton family’s house; the limousine had been parked
at the door for a long time.
She already cried long enough, leaving only a heart full of pain.
How did she raise such a rebellious son?
“Madam?” Looking at Jennifer’s ugly expression, the driver called her worriedly.
The car had been parked in front of the door for a long time.
Jennifer then came back to her senses, took the medicine from the study room, and immediately went
over to the hospital.
During that time, Joseph was still accompanying her in the ward where Kathy was in. One of them was
reading while the other one was handling some business.
It seemed to have become a tacit agreement between the two.
When Jennifer came in, she had already calmed down.
After looking at Joseph, she said in a deep voice, “Mr. Joseph, I have something I want to say to
Kathy.”
Joseph nodded his head, “I was also about to go get dinner.”
Only two people were left in the ward.
When Jennifer approached and looked at Wen Jing, she could not hide the sadness in her eyes.
“Kathy, does your head still hurt?” Jennifer asked with concern.
“Just a bit, I still felt a bit uncomfortable and sometimes it's a little hard to think about things, and my
memory is not as good as before.” Kathy confessed.
Sometimes after reading a book in the morning, she would forget all of it during the afternoon.
This was something that has never happened before.
“Mom, why are you crying?” When Kathy looked up, she could see Jennifer’s face and she started to
panic.
Jennifer turned her back, and when she heard what Kathy had said, her tears were about to burst out.
“Mom just feels heartbroken.”
“Joseph said I will get better after some time, don’t worry, mom.”
“I can’t help but worry.” Jennifer said tremblingly.
The reason she came over was to give the medicine to Kathy, as for the truth that Billy told her, she
could not bear to tell Kathy about it.
However, if she gave the medicine to Kathy, she was bound to know.
“Mother.”
“Mom just came to see you; did Joseph say when you can be discharged from the hospital?”
“About another week.”
“Rest well, mom will leave first.”
After saying that, Jennifer quickly went out. She was afraid that once she saw Kathy again, her
emotions could not be controlled anymore.
After pausing for a while, she walked towards Joseph’s office.
“Mrs. Booth.” Joseph addressed politely.
Jennifer nodded and sat down opposite to him.
Knowing that she had something to say, Joseph closed the door behind him.
Jennifer’s eyes were a little red as she obviously had been crying for some time.
“Billy did something to Kathy during her surgery after the accident happened.”
What Billy said to Jennifer during the visit just now, Jennifer repeated back to Joseph.
Joseph was a doctor, she first had to ask weather if he could get rid of this chip, and if he could, then
she could escape from Billy’s threat.
Although she felt that the possibility of this, was very low.
Joseph immediately took out all of Kathy’s X-ray scans to compare, and his eyes was fixed on a black
spot on the right side of her brain.
Because the area of it was so small, it was usually automatically classified as a benign nodule.
But now it seemed that it was not the case.
“If we want to confirm it, we must operate on her brain again, but Kathy just had a major surgery, so we
can't do this again.” Joseph’s mood sank.
“Billy gave me some medicine, saying that it can control Kathy’s condition, but there are definitely side
effects from taking this medicine all the time, and with the chip still hidden in Kathy’s brain, it will still
remain something dangerous that might affect her.” Jennifer said in a low voice.
And after hearing what Kathy had just said, she had already experienced the symptoms of recession in
her memory.
She really did not know what to do.
“I'll take the medicine to the laboratory to test for its ingredients first... Mrs. Booth, what did Billy ask in
return?” Joseph asked keenly.
“He asked me to get him off his crimes, but as I said, I could only help him reduced his sentences.”
Joseph narrowed his eyes, and his fists gradually tightened.
“Joseph, if there is really no other way, then just let Billy out by preventing the Joseph’s Group from
prosecuting him.” Jennifer pleaded.
As long as the Joseph’s Group changed the confession given, and the matter that happened to
Veronica years ago was kept quiet, Billy’s charges still had a chance to be dropped.
However, this was too difficult for Joseph.
Jennifer also had no choice but to speak up.
She did not know if she was making the right move, but for Kathy’s sake, she had to do this.
“Mrs. Booth, I'll have someone send you back.” Joseph did not give her a reply.
The office became quiet again, Joseph personally took the medicine to the lab, and after seeing the
results, his expression became gloomy again.
Without going to ward which Kathy was staying in, Joseph went back to the Joseph’s residence.
Veronica looked at her brother unexpectedly, he had not come back for a long time.
“Brother, what brings you here.” Veronica said as she came down from the second floor.
“This is my home.” Joseph frowned.
“I know that of course, but I thought that your house was at the hospital lately.” Veronica muttered.
“Don't want to see your brother?”
“Of course not, it's late and I'm going to bed, so make yourself at home.” After finishing her sentence,
Veronica went back to her room.
As recently Billy had been arrested, she was in a happy mood. She even went to bed and woke up
early every day living a healthy lifestyle.
Looking at his sister's back, Joseph looked even gloomier.
For the next few days, Kathy did not meet with Joseph.
Since Zofia would still come over every day, so Kathy still was not too bored.
However, without the presence of Joseph, even Zofia felt that something was off.
