Kathy lowered her head and turned her face to look at the dinner plate placed on the bedside. Three
dishes and one soup were steaming and appetizing, which were all she liked to eat. But she no longer
liked to eat two of these dishes, because she changed her taste after pregnancy.
Subconsciously, Kathy touched her abdomen, but finally held it back.
Should she tell him that she was pregnant?
"Joseph, I beg you…" She raised her small face. Her black and white eyes were stained with tears, and
the transparent liquid filled her eyes as if it would fall down at any time.
He calmly picked up the small bowl of rice, then ladled out a spoonful of soup with a spoon, and slowly
handed it to her lips, "Be good, open your mouth."
She pursed her lips and looked at him lightly.
Joseph said, "Kathy, be obedient, open your mouth."
She finally compromised, lowered her head and drank it. Even though her heart was already
uncomfortable, the panic and anxiety almost made her dare not close her eyes at all.
Even if she didn't want to eat, the baby in her stomach needed to have a meal.
He probably fed her seven or eight spoons of soup before he fed her rice and dishes.
After dinner, he didn't show up again. Kathy lay quietly on the soft big bed and looked at the dark night
sky outside the window without a trace of light.
She lay for a long time, but she never felt sleepy.
Someone knocked gently on the door. Kathy closed her eyes, she knew it was not Joseph.
But she didn't care about anyone knocking on the door in this family.
After knocking for a while, the door was pushed open.
Maryam walked in. Only the bedside lamp was on in the bedroom, and the evening breeze occasionally
blew the tulle curtains.
"Sister-in-law." She walked to the bed and said to the woman who was lying on the bed without a quilt.
"Sister-in-law, don't be sad."
Kathy opened her eyes and saw Maryam’s young, beautiful, and even somewhat innocent face.
Seeing Kathy just glanced at her and she didn't mean to talk to her at all, Maryam took the initiative,
"Sister-in-law, I can help you get out of here."
Kathy's eyes rolled slightly, and then sat up from the bed, "You want to help me?"
Maryam hesitated for a while, then nodded firmly, "I don't want to see you and Brother Joseph become
like this. I know you want to leave, I can help you."
Kathy didn't show any surprises or joy, but asked faintly, "Why do you want to help me? When Joseph
found out, your life as a granddaughter of the Joseph family is coming to an end."
Maryam's eyes flickered slightly, "I..."
Although her eyes were light, they were sharp.
"You like Joseph, so you want me to leave?"
Maryam looked embarrassed, as if her mind was seen through, and her cheeks were a little red,
"Sister-in-law, I..."
After a long silence, she mustered up the courage to look up at Kathy. Her face was very sincere,
"Sister-in-law, I didn't want to destroy your relationship... But I think it’s hard for you to reconcile at this
point. If you want to leave Brother Joseph and I also can get a chance, I am willing to give it a try...I
believe I will be better than you."
The last word was faintly unconvinced.
To drive away the rivals without blood?
Kathy can see clearly.
If she could leave Joseph’s residence, she would not worry that Joseph would use her to threaten her
brother. She would find a way to help her brother get out of here without putting him in jail again.
"Well, you give me your cell phone and I will call my brother."
Kathy stretched out his hand.
Maryam looked at her embarrassedly and whispered, "Brother Joseph said that you are very smart, so
my cell phone, even the cell phones of all the servants in Joseph’s residence, are monitored by him. He
will not give us the opportunity to call your brother."
Kathy's eyes became sullen suddenly, and Maryam immediately said, "Sister-in-law, even if you make
a phone call, it's useless. Even if your brother forcefully gets you back, he and Brother Joseph both will
be defeated and wounded."
She frowned, "Then what can you do to help me?"
Maryam was right. She can’t let her brother come to her, she had to find a way to leave here.
But how could she leave here?
Maryam was silent for a while, then she spoke word by word, "Or Grandpa will help us."
Kathy hadn't slept all night. She had been sitting on the balcony and looking at her abdomen most of
the time.
There was a life conceived here. She knew how much she loved him, and wanted to give the love of
that child who can’t come to this world all to him.
Her fingers gently slid across her abdomen, her profile was blown by the evening breeze.
In the end, she never thought that the way Maryam helped her was like this.
Early in the morning, her bedroom door was suddenly kicked open. Kathy was startled by the violent
movement. She had just stood up, but the man with the cold aura had already buckled her waist and
pushed her hard to the door panel behind her.
Kathy was so frightened that she paled, and reflexively protected her abdomen immediately.
The man's eyes were full of blood streak, and he was indifferent to the extreme. He gave a sneer,
"Kathy, you really did use any method to get out of here!"
Kathy’s face was bloodless. After hearing what he said, she smiled coldly, "Really? I should thank Mr
Joseph for teaching me a lesson."
Her eyes were no longer fragile and pleading like last night, only a touch of cold remained.
"Heh." He smiled lowly. His fingers squeezed her chin hard, seeming to crush her bones at any time,
"You threaten my grandfather and let him be caught by Marlon, I tell you, Kathy, if something happened
to my family because of you again, I will definitely not let you go!"
Kathy was pinched in pain. She squinted her eyes and laughed, "You won't let me go? Joseph, when
will you let me go? Only the people in your family are your family, right?"
His family... Was his child his family?
The man’s eyes were still as dark as ink, "Marlon asked for himself. He has to go to jail because he
commits a crime! But what about my grandpa, Kathy!"
She clearly saw how he gritted his teeth, "You lied to my grandfather that you were pregnant, and used
your child to threaten him to find Marlon. Kathy, you are really ruthless!"
Who was more ruthless? Kathy just thought it was funny.
She raised her eyebrows, "I'm pregnant, aren't you happy? Haven't you been doing everything possible
to get me pregnant? Why are you so angry now?"
Her fingers tightened harder. His lips pressed against her ears and growled, "Kathy, you just have a
period a few days ago, and now you tell me you are pregnant?"
Did she have a period a few days ago?
Kathy closed her eyes, and soon remembered.
When she drank the fish soup, she spit out. She realized that she might be pregnant. Because she was
not sure about their relationship, she didn't want Joseph to know about the child for the time being, so
she casually gave him an excuse that she had a period.
