She stabbed in a certain direction indiscriminately with a gleaming sharp dagger. The light reflected by
the blade dazzled his eyes. Joseph was shocked for a second, then he reacted to grab her dagger, but
it was too late, the blade had pierced his shoulder.
The blood quickly dyed the clothes red.
Kathy was panting and stepped back subconsciously. Her face was pale and bloodless, and the only
action she could do was to dodge so that he wouldn't touch her.
Joseph looked at her face. He knew clearly that she hated him, he knew clearly she was bearing, and
he knew better that when she stabbed him just now, she was not even avenging Marlon, she just could
not bear his closeness and touch.
He began to understand that when he asked her if it hurt, her answer was only one word— Hurt.
Her pain was not in her wrist, just as now his pain was not because of the injury on his shoulder.
The pain was in their heart. Although it didn’t bleed, they all felt gut-wrenching.
He knew, he all knew.
Kathy's hand still held the dagger. There was a flash of panic in Joseph’s eyes. He asked in a low
voice, "Give me the dagger, or you will hurt yourself."
She was emotionally unstable and she will hurt herself.
The tip of the dagger was still dripping blood. Kathy was backing away and maintained the distance
from him. Her hands were tremble. Although it was not obvious, she can’t help trembling.
She looked at him alertly and her breathing was very disturbed.
Joseph didn't dare to approach her anymore, so he could only say in a low voice, "Put the dagger
down, I won't touch you."
He looked at her pale and frightened face, and said in a hoarse voice again, "Kathy, I promise you, I will
not touch you, as long as you put the dagger down."
Kathy only thought it was funny. She took the dagger from Jaydon's car. She just used it for self-
defense, but he looked like she would use it to mutilate or commit suicide.
She won't, she certainly won't.
The blood on his shoulders was flowing fiercely, but he seemed to be unaware of it, and he kept
looking at her with a pair of black eyes.
Until she stepped back to the other side of the bed, far away from his breath, and couldn't feel the
pressure on his body, her nerves gradually relaxed and her hands didn't shake so much.
She said solemnly, "You go out."
Joseph looked at her without any movement.
Kathy smiled mockingly, "I'm right here, you don't need to worry that I will run. No, don't worry, I won't
run."
"Okay." They were locked in a stalemate for a while. Then he said, "I'll go out, but don't take the dagger
anymore."
She just took a dagger in self-defense, what if she hurt herself impulsively next time?
Kathy watched him leave the bedroom completely and close the door. Her nerves that had been high-
strung gradually relaxed, and the whole person fell softly on the bed.
She had no strength at all.
She curled up on the bed, as if all her senses had disappeared. She closed her eyes and her fingers
gripped the quilt tightly. Her strength was so strong that the wound oozed blood again.
Maryam ran over immediately when she heard the sound of footsteps. When she saw the blood on the
man's shoulders, she almost screamed in fright.
"Brother Joseph, why are you hurt?"
Mathew heard the sound and looked over in surprise. He was also startled when he saw blood soaked
through Joseph’s cloth, "What's wrong with you?"
Joseph was always expressionless. His handsome face was taut, and he didn't even look at them.
He took the medical kit straight. Maryam hurried up to help, but Joseph didn't raise his head, and said
coldly, "Go away."
Maryam pouted aggrievedly, "But you are injured. Let me help you with medicine. I have learned how to
take medicine before. I can help you."
Mathew came over on crutches and he also worried, "Go to the hospital..."
He thought of something in the next second, gritted his teeth and said, "Did Kathy hurt you? She
stabbed you with a dagger?"
How can she? How could she hurt his grandson like this!
Maryam wanted to get close to him, but she didn't dare. Joseph would drive her away directly.
Now he looked cold and his eyes never look at them. He was so alienated that people didn't dare to
approach him.
He took off his clothes and applied medicine to himself stiffly. When Maryam looked at his oozing
wound, tears fell out of her eyes.
She muttered dissatisfiedly, "How could she be so excessive? You are husband and wife anyhow. She
actually stabbed you, Brother Joseph... If you continue to be with her, she might frantically kill you."
The more she talked, the more she felt that this possibility was very high. Kathy was a lunatic now.
Mathew became more nervous. "Kathy, you can't be with her anymore. Now we don’t know what she
will do."
Joseph's face was still indifferent, "Are you surprised by such a result?"
Mathew was so angry that he couldn't speak, and his momentum became weaker. "What do you
mean?"
The man lowered his head and did not speak. Mathew wanted to say something, but a person had
already walked in quickly. It was Lincoln.
"Dude, we can go..."
When he approached, he exclaimed, "Why are you hurt?"
When joseph met Marlon, he was clearly uninjured, and it was obviously a stab wound. Who else could
hurt Joseph?
Joseph wrapped the bandages and said indifferently, "Let your best subordinate come and keep an eye
on Kathy."
Lincoln had already guessed what was going on, "Well, I got it."
They must have an argument because of Marlon. He didn't think much about it, and soon went out to
call.
When he returned, Joseph was already bandaged. After Joseph putting on his coat, Maryam couldn't
help but say, "Brother Joseph, maybe you should change your clothes."
Joseph walked directly outside, and Mathew shouted after him, "Where are you going, Joseph! You
have got hurt, you need to have a good rest!"
But the man's footsteps did not stop.
In the car, Lincoln sat in the passenger seat. Looking back at the man with his eyes closed, he ordered
the driver to drive.
After arriving at the hospital, Joseph efficiently handled the recent unsettled affairs. He didn’t treat
patients anymore, but he had to make decisions about major matters in the hospital.
He didn’t finish most of the things until the evening.
When Lincoln came over, John was guarding outside.
"Mr Fletcher, is there any news about Marlon? He is really dead?" John asked worriedly.
The boss hadn't come out for eight hours, and he didn't eat or drink. John didn't dare to go in and
disturb him.
"There is no news yet, but we have been sending people to find his corpse. At that time, the shot was
missed and did not hit the center of the heart. However, there are reefs under the sea. It is really hard
to say whether he could survive."
He was standing behind Joseph at the time, so he saw clearly that Joseph didn’t shot in Marlon’s heart,
but because of those reefs and sea water, they didn’t feel optimistic about the current situation.
